Not Another Bloody Prophecy

Chapter 4

As it turns out, A.J. Brookson was quite the entrepreneur. Lucifer and the Detective had found lots of goodies usually found in hospitals, hidden around the distasteful apartment. Some of which Lucifer may-or-may-not have liberated when the detective was distracted.

A.J. was currently sitting handcuffed in the interrogation room alone, while Lucifer and The Detective were behind the one way mirror. They had tried questioning him, but he wouldn't say anything. He had a very flimsy alibi, saying that he had been home alone during the night of the murder. When Lucifer had tried to mojo him, he'd said that his deepest desire was to be rich. But unfortunately, according to the detective, that did nothing to confirm nor deny that A.J. was the killer.

"He's definitely going down for possession of Illegal drugs and an unlicensed firearm." Chloe said thoughtfully. "But, I don't know if he killed Nina."

"Uh, need I remind you, Detective, that he had pointed a gun in your face just hours before. That alone should earn him a special place in hell." Lucifer said.

"Yeah, I know. But, I don't see why he would want to kill Nina. And the fact that he won't talk doesn't help things." Chloe said while she contemplated what to do next.

She didn't have long to think though, because Irisia had chosen that moment to join them in the room. "Hello, brother. I had just spoken to Amenadiel. He told me quite a few interesting things." She said with a raised eyebrow.

"Did he now?" Lucifer said as he played with his cuffs.

"Oh, yes. Like for example, how you had exposed not one, but three mortals to divinity. And probably more that we don't know of." Irisia said with a slight edge to her voice.

"Yes, and I don't see how that's any of your business."

Irisia took a deep intake of breath as she played with the ring around her finger. "I'm simply saying that you should be careful. Especially if this little human can make you vulnerable."

Chloe crossed her arms, not enjoying being talked about as if she's not there. "This little human is standing right here."

Irisia barely glanced at Chloe as she said, "I can see that."

Then she turned her attention back to the devil. "Do you have any idea where Michael is?"

"Michael? No, I don't have the slightest idea as to where that bastard is." Irisia felt disappointed but not surprised. "Shame. Ryliel is currently out looking for him."

Lucifer chuckled. "Well, good luck with that. And why would you want to find him anyway? Oh, please tell me your here to drag him back to the Silver City by the ear for a time out!"

Irisia rolled her eyes at her brother's antics. "No, not exactly. But, even if we don't find him, it's fine. He doesn't have to be present, though it is preferable." "Present for what, exactly?" He questioned.

She glanced at the human for a split second involuntarily before saying, "We need to talk. It's best if I wait to explain to everyone."

She glanced at the detective again as a thought crossed her mind. "Everyone being me, you, and the rest of our brothers who are on earth." Irisia's glances did not go unnoticed by Chloe. Though she said nothing in response.

"Is it urgent?" The devil asks. "Well, no. But-"

"Then it can wait until after the detective and I solve this murder." The angel stared at her brother, perplexed. "You really believe that solving the murder of one insignificant human is more important than what Ryliel and I have to say?"

"Oh, I think that anything is more important than what you and Ryliel have to say."

Irisia glared at her brother. "Samael-"
