The four of them sat at one of the half-moon couches in Lux. Lucifer sipped quietly on a drink while his daughter fidgeted. They were waiting for Detective Decker to arrive with news about the investigation. Bryan was trying to calm his wife. She just held her son close and ignored her husband.

Movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. Detective Decker was descending the stairs with his young daughter beside her. They all got up to meet with Chloe. Trixie ran forward. "Lucifer!" She said excitedly.

Lucifer recoiled a little from the child's contact. "Yes. Hello child." He heard his daughter laugh. Trixie released her grip on his leg and looked at everyone standing there.

Chloe caught up. "Sorry, we're late. I had to pick Trixie up from school." She smiled at Persephone and Tristan. "Oh, he is even more adorable in person."

"Thank you." Persephone responded. She looked down at Trixie. "Is this your little girl? Trixie, right?"

Chloe nodded. Persephone smiled at the little girl. "Hello Trixie. I'm Persephone."

Trixie's eyes widened. "Perfonee, Pistonphone." She tried pronouncing her name.

Persephone laughed. "You can call me Persi."

Lucifer rolled his eyes. Why did she insist on butchering her name? He shook his head as his daughter continued talking to Trixie.

"Are you Lucifer's sister?" Trixie asked.

"No. He is my Dad."

Trixie looked at Lucifer with a bit on of confusion. No doubt wondering how that was possible. "But he isn't old. Shouldn't he be old?"

Persephone laughed. "Oh he is old. Very old. Very, very old."

Lucifer shook his head. "That is quite enough of that." He gave the father look to his daughter. Turning to Chloe. "You have some information for us."

Chloe was seeming amused by Persephone's interactions with her daughter. She looked at Lucifer. "Oh right. Yeah." She pulled her notebook from her pocket. "The woman, Chelsea Rains has been a Joanie Lynn impersonator for years. She certainly bears a striking resemblance to her. But she also has a long list of charges for fraud and theft."

Persephone snorted. "I knew it. The moment I got the papers. I smelled a rat." She shifted Tristan in her arms. "What can we do to stop her?"

Chloe sighed. "Apparently she has DNA to match."

Persephone shook her head. "That's impossible. How did she get my mom's DNA?"

Chloe shrugged. "I don't know. But it looks legit."

Lucifer watched as Persephone cursed under her breath. He could feel her anger rising. She started pacing. Bryan held out his hands to get the baby from her. The lights in the club flickered a bit. "Darling. You need to calm down." Lucifer placed his hands on his daughter's shoulder. "We'll figure this out."

Persephone took a deep breath and stopped pacing. She looked at Chloe. "Thank you Chloe. I appreciate it."

Chloe nodded. "I have to get going. Sorry to keep it short." She hugged Persephone and waved as she and Trixie left.

Lucifer turned to his daughter. She was standing with her head in her hands. He could feel her emotions. "Look we will get to the bottom of this."

"Hey you guys should see this." Maze called from the bar.

The TV screen overhead was turned to a news station. A blonde haired woman looking very much like Joanie Lynn was being interviewed. Lucifer could see his daughter seething.

"For years I felt drawn to Joanie. Everyone always remarked how much I looked like her. I have been told I even talk like her." The woman explained to the reporter. "I finally was compelled by my lawyer." The camera panned to the same pudgy man who had served the papers to Persephone. "To get a DNA test. It came up positive. I am Joanie Lynn's daughter. I just want what belongs to me."

"Now, what about her other daughter Persephone? What has she said?" A male reporter questioned.

"She hasn't responded. I guess she is jealous or something. I have seen pictures of her. She looks nothing like my mother. I question whether she is really her daughter."

The bar began to shake. Glasses shattered. Lucifer placed his hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Persephone calm yourself." He commanded.

"How can she say I am not her daughter? I am being I?" She looked at him.

"Yes. I was there when you were born. The screaming, the mess. I witnessed all of it."

Persephone hung her head and walked to the seats. She sat down. Her husband beside her with the baby. He placed his hand on hers. "It'll be okay Persi." He looked up at Lucifer. "What are we going to do?"

Lucifer sighed. He wasn't really sure what to do. "Maybe we should talk to them." Then the lightbulb went off in his devilish head. "Yes. That's what we'll do. I'll get a hold of her attorney and have them come here to Lux for a chat." His face drew the wicked Devil smile. Persephone smiled too. She liked the idea.

"You think it'll work."

Lucifer nodded. "Yes. Very sure it will. Don't you worry. Daddy will fix this." He turned towards Maze. "Maze see if you can get that attorney's number."

Maze nodded and headed out of the bar.


Hours later Lucifer sat at the bar of Lux. The club was hopping. The scantily clad were having the time of their lives. He had on one of his finest suits. He smiled when he spotted Persephone coming down the stairs. She had on a black dress and nice heels. He was glad she was dressed up. It annoyed him to no end when she dressed like sad, homeless person. "You look nice, darling. Thank you for not making my club look like a homeless shelter."

Persephone narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "Um thank you. I guess." She picked up a napkin from the bar and began twisting it in her hands.

"It will be fine, child. Trust me." He put his hand on hers. "I have been doing this a long time. I can spot a fraud from a mile away. This woman is a fraud. We just need to get the truth out."

Persephone gave him a sideway glance. She nodded. "I understate. We'll make her pay." Her voice took on a little of his devilish tone. He wasn't sure whether to be afraid or proud.

Maze walked up followed by two people. "They are here."

Lucifer looked at the blonde woman behind Maze. Up close she looked less like Joanie. Her blonde hair was stringy and he could see scars of drug use on her arms. She wore a pair of jeans and pink blouse. The man was very round and sweating all over the place. He shifted uneasily on his feet. He didn't look anything like the confident man he had seen on TV earlier. Lucifer held out his hand to them. "Lucifer Morningstar. This is my daughter Persephone."

The blonde woman and Persephone eyed each other uneasily. She shook Lucifer's hand. "Chelsea. And this is Kevin."

"Well, let's have a seat shall we." Lucifer lead them to the couches. Persephone sat beside him. Her dark eyes still a silent glare. He snapped his fingers to one of the waitresses. "What will you have to drink?"

"Grey Goose on the rocks."

She has expensive tastes. Lucifer thought to himself. The man, Kevin ordered an expensive drink as well. He found this humorous. He hadn't said the drinks would be free.

The waitress walked towards the bar. For a moment the four of them were silent. He could feel his daughters anger rising again as she glared at her would-be sister. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Doing his best to calm her. Calming wasn't something the Devil was known for. But he still had that ability.

The waitress returned with everyone's drinks. He watched as Kevin and Chelsea chugged their down and then ordered more. He just laughed inside.

"So, Chelsea. When did you come to the realization that you were Joanie's daughter?"

She turned to the Devil. Regarding him for a moment. "I spent my whole life being told how much I looked like her. You see I was put up for adoption. I have been trying to figure out who I am forever. I was always drawn to her. I loved all of her movies. I even sing like her." She glanced at Persephone. Persephone's dark eyes were almost full of fire. "I know it must come as a shock. But I have the DNA results right here." She dug into her purse and pulled out a rumpled piece of paper and handed it to Persephone.

Persephone studied it. Her look of skepticism marked upon her face. "So you think because you claim to be my sister that you are entitled to my money."

"Well, it's only fair." Chelsea remarked. "I mean I have doubts that you are Joanie's daughter. Look at you."

Lucifer felt his daughter tense. He had to gently hold her back. He glanced at her. She understood and calmed a bit. "I assure you, Chelsea. Persephone is Joanie's daughter. I was there when she was coming out of Joanie."

Kevin snorted. "What were you twelve? You barely look old enough to be her brother. I am having trouble believing anything you say, Mr. Morningstar." He remarked while downing another expensive drink.

Lucifer glared at the sweaty man. He too was having trouble keeping his composure. "I assure you I am a lot older than I look. I existed before time was invented."

"Oh right. You're the Devil." Kevin said. "That's a load if I ever heard one." Kevin put his sweaty palms on the table. He looked at Persephone. "We can settle this out of court. Just give us the amount we asked for."

Persephone narrowed her eyes t the man. She didn't say anything to him. Instead she turned her gaze to her "sister". "How did you get the DNA sample?"

"Kevin had a hair sample from a hairbrush."

Persephone raised an eyebrow. "And you were sure it belonged to my mother?"

"He assured me that it did."

"Oh. I see." Persephone glanced at Lucifer. She gave him a knowing look. Lucifer nodded. He knew what she was about to do. She turned her gaze to the other woman. "Tell me Chelsea. What is it you desire?"

Lucifer could feel his daughter drawing out the truth. He wanted to hug her and give her ice cream, he was so proud of her. He watched Chelsea shift uncomfortably on the seat. She was looking away from Persephone. But his daughter maintained her gaze.

"I uh. I don't know."

"Oh come on Chelsea. I can feel the truth trying to get out. Tell me. What is it you want? "

"I just want money."

"Of course you do." Persephone had her prey cornered. Lucifer looked on proudly as his daughter pounced. "And you aren't really my sister are you?"

"No." Chelsea said but then shook her head. "Wait. Yes, I am." She looked over at Kevin then back at Persephone. "How are you doing that?"

"You just wanted money so bad you don't care how to get it. Instead of finding a job you thought you would take someone else's." Persephone goaded the other woman.

Chelsea's eyes filled with tears. "Kevin said it was a sure thing. The DNA results aren't even real. "

Kevin glared at her. "You stupid bitch. You are ruining everything."

Persephone turned to her father. It was Lucifer's turn. "I think it's time you left."

"Not without our money." Kevin remarked. "Don't listen to what she says. She is really Joanie's daughter. She even has some of Joanie's mental problems. She doesn't know what she is saying half the time."

Lucifer stood up. His dark eyes piercing the other man like daggers. "I said get out." He pointed to the door. He snapped his fingers and two bouncers rushed forward.

Kevin and Chelsea stood up. "Can't we work this out. We only want half."

Lucifer took a step towards the man. "Out!" He shouted. The bouncers started to usher the two of them out. "Oh wait. Those drinks weren't free by the way."

Kevin looked at Chelsea than back at the Devil. "You said come to Lux and have a few drinks and talk."

"Yes, I did. But I never said the drinks were free."

Kevin took a step forward but was stopped by the bouncers. "You son of a bitch! I aunt paying you a dime."

Lucifer smiled. "That's alright." He looked at the bouncers. "Bruno call the police and have these two arrested for theft."

"Right away Mr. Morningstar."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH. I WILL GET YOU MORNINGSTAR. YOU KILLED MY BROTHER."

Lucifer looked at the man. "I most certainly did not."

"My brother Stu Mannon. He hung himself. It was your fault. You devil."

Lucifer looked at Persephone. "You are Stu's brother? Oh it makes sense now. Oh well. You lost." Lucifer turned to his daughter. "Let's go upstairs shall we." He held out his hand to her. They walked toward the elevator while Kevin Mannon cursed and yelled.


Once upstairs Persephone headed to the couches and sat down with a huff. Her husband was sitting nearby. She smiled at him. He scooted closer to her. "I'm exhausted." She said out loud.

Lucifer walked over with drinks. Persephone didn't touch hers. But Bryan took a sip. "But we got them."

"So what happened?"

"We, I mean Persephone drew out the truth." He took a sip of his drink and smiled at his daughter. "I couldn't be more proud of her."

Persephone smiled and looked at the ground. "Part of me feels sorry for Chelsea."

Lucifer shook his head. "You have got to be joking."

"No, Dad. Obviously that poor woman had it so bad that she feels the need to con her way through life."

"Oh, darling. You have such a big heart. You needn't feel sorry for wicked individuals. They will get theirs." Lucifer responded.

Bryan had his hand on his wife's knee. "It's over, Persi."

Persephone nodded. She took a sip of the drink her hand. She cringed at the taste. "Yeah it is."

Lucifer looked at them "Now why don't you kids get some rest. We have a big day planned tomorrow. Right?"

Persephone smiled. "Yeah. Thank you daddy." She stood up and walked over to him. Leaning down she planted a kiss on his cheek then headed for the guest rooms. She beckoned for her husband to follow.

"Goodnight Lucifer."

Lucifer nodded. "Let's try to keep the volume down on the amorous activates shall we." He called after them. His daughter giving one of her looks. She just shook her head and they headed off.

Lucifer stood up and walked outside to the balcony. There he stood looking out over the sparkling city below.
