Chapter- 8

Through the Looking Glass

Chloe just stood in the driveway next to her car looking down at the bottle of Lithium that she held in her hand frozen in apprehensive indecision. Dr. Kim Williams seemed nice and helpful enough, but there were certain things about this new development that troubled her. The first thing was Kim's un-announced visit to her mother's home, and as far as she knew, it wasn't normal for a psychologist to make house calls to a person that wasn't even her own client. Secondly, Kim's eagerness to get close to her partner made the young woman seem like she thrived on being around the emotional suffering of others. Chloe was beginning to wonder if she could still trust her. Another thing that bothered the young detective was the fact that she'd never gotten a call from Linda informing her of the addition of the newly prescribed drug, and as far as she was aware, Linda wasn't the type of person who would overlook such an important and fundamental protocol of her profession.

At that moment, Chloe was immediately pulled out of her daze by the well defined sound of an opening car door. The Homicide detective put the bottle of lithium into the right hand pocket of her black leather jacket, turned around and was astonished to find that Trixie had taken it upon herself to crawl onto Lucifer's lap and unfasten his seat belt. The little girl then threw her arms around the neck of the sleeping night club owner and whispered as she gave him a soft butterfly kiss on the cheek, "It's time to wake up, Lucifer. You're home now." After a few moment's Lucifer's eyes slowly fluttered open, and Chloe silently prayed to what ever was out there that her partner wouldn't completely freak out. Fortunately, the sight of the little girl seemed to have actually brought a tearful smile to the night club owners face.

Lucifer gently wrapped his arms around Trixie's small frame and just broke down into hysterical sobs, as he began rocking the little girl back and forth. Trixie looked at her mother and remarked apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't mean to make Lucifer cry." Having seen enough, Chloe walked over and announced angrily, as she knelt down beside her partner, took her daughter out of his grip and roughly grabbed him by his shoulders, "Lucifer, you have got to pull yourself together and stop acting like such a baby. The only way that you're going to make it through this ordeal in one piece is if you start making a real effort to get better. It is time for you to stop feeling sorry for yourself and start getting pissed off." Lucifer sniffed and inquired shakily, "Why are you being so mean to me, Detective? Don't you understand that I know longer know who I am?"

Chloe took a deep calming breath and said in a lower tone of voice, "If that is truly the case, then I will be more than happy to tell you who you are. You're not a complete hopeless screw up. You are Lucifer Morningstar of Lux. You're the punisher of the wicked.. The Lucifer I know would never just roll over and allow somebody to take away everything he held dear. You keep telling me that you're the devil, and from what I've been taught, the devil doesn't take no shit from anyone, especially not from any member of his estranged family. If you're really the devil, as you claim to be, then you need to start acting like it. I'm going to continue to help you, but you need to start helping yourself, as well. Have I made myself clear?"

The night club owner went completely silent for a very long moment. Finally, he took several deep calming breaths and announced, as he wiped the tears out of his eyes, "I think I need another one of my pills, Detective." Chloe nodded her head and replied with a grin, "I promise that I'll give you one after dinner. Tonight's Taco Tuesday." Trixie folded her arms and replied with a proud smile, 'I always help mommy make the salsa." Lucifer smiled and remarked, as he stretched and slowly got to his feet, "And I'll bet that you've become quite the expert at it, haven't you?' Trixie took the night club owner by the hand and replied with a giggle, as she began to lead him towards the house, "Mommy says that I'm a real professional now."

Chloe got back to her feet and remarked to herself, as she closed the passenger door of her car, "Here we go again." Chloe turned and was about to go back inside, when she suddenly felt a pair of cold and angry eyes staring at her back. The homicide detective gazed around the neighborhood, but she was unable to find the source of her unease. Chloe shrugged and reproachfully whispered to herself, as she made her way back towards the house, "Now don't you start getting paranoid, Decker."

The rest of the evening seemed to roll at an uncomfortably slow pace. While Chloe sat at her dining room table on her lap top computer quietly digging for any information she could find on Dr. Kim Williams, Trixie and Lucifer were both laying down on the sofa bed in the living room watching an episode of sponge-bob square pants. Every so often she could hear their laughter and giggles. The sound filled her heart with overwhelming joy and happiness. Chloe thought about how much her partner had evolved over the past few days and had begun to understand what she and her daughter really meant to him.

The Homicide detective guessed that Lucifer's own family wasn't very well practiced in the art of showing unconditional love, and she came to the conclusion that that was the reason why He didn't take very well to Trixie, when they'd first met. Now it was as if the pair of them were inseparable, and just the thought of them being torn apart sent a chill up her spine. She now understood the reason for Lucifer's earlier distress, and she doubted that her partner would ever recover from the psychological trauma such a heartbreaking loss would leave behind. Upon having no luck with her original search, Chloe went back to the Google home page and ran a search for any information on the drug lithium.

After a few seconds of scrolling, Chloe came across a link that promised information about harmful drug interactions and clicked on it. A new window opened up to reveal a lengthy medical website that unfortunately contained scientific terminology that she could barely understand.

Coming to a decision, the Homicide detective grabbed her cell phone off the table, dialed a number and then patiently waited for an answer, unaware that Trixie had just tip toed past her into the kitchen and then tip toed back out into the living room carrying two brown medicine bottles and a bottle of water. After a few moments, Chloe cleared her throat and replied calmly, "Good evening, Dr. Martin. I really hate to bother you with this but I need you two give me some information on the lithium that you had prescribed for Lucifer. Should there be an hour of space between that and the lorazepam or should he take them both together?"

After a moment of silence, Chloe's face took on an expression of rage, as she asked apprehensively, "What do you mean you didn't write up any such prescription?!" Chloe again went silent. After a few moments, the Homicide Detective took a calming breath and explained patiently, "Well, then i think you should know that Doctor Williams had stopped by my place a few hours ago with the lithium and she told me that you said that Lucifer was to start taking it along with his lorazepam"

There was another moment silence, and the Chloe replied in a voice that was calmer than she really felt, "All right, would it be possible for you to give me all the information you can on Doctor Williams?" Chloe again went silent for a few moments and then inquired furiously, "She's the daughter of Rev. Jacob Williams? Is this the same Jacob Williams that Malcolm had executed at Lux?" Chloe took a moment to calm herself down and was about to pose another question, when she suddenly heard the sound of her daughter screaming at the top of her lungs.

Chloe ran into the living room and was shocked to find Lucifer laying on the floor convulsing spasmodically and Trixie all curled up on the sofa bed crying her eyes out. "Lucifer!", Chloe shouted in a panicked voice as she ran across the room and added, as she knelt down beside the nightclub owners convulsing body, "Linda, I need you to do me a favor and call an ambulance and send the to my place. I live at 2724 Glenwood Dr. Lucifer has just been overdosed." without waiting for a reply, the Homicide Detective hung up her phone and then quickly dialed another number, as she placed a comforting hand on Lucifer's perspiring forehead in a brave attempt to calm him.

After a moment, Chloe cleared her throat and replied in as calm of a voice as she could muster, "Yes, dispatch, this's unit 813, I need an ABP put out on a Dr. Kim Fiona Williams. She is driving a silver 2013 Ford GT License Plate # K. Williams 1. She was last seen heading southbound on Glenwood Dr. She is to be considered armed and dangerous. She is to be arrested and held on suspicion of attempted murder.

A/N :So, what's your opinion of this chapter. I really hope that I didn't make Chloe sound like she was being really mean, when she was giving Lucifer that little pep talk. It just seemed like the kind of thing that Chloe would do in the show. She sounds like a no nonsense kind of woman. I would also like to know what you guys think about Dr. Williams. Let's all hope that Lucifer's going to pull through. Please let me know in a review.
