Lydia's Pov

I sit in the bar when I see Lucifer walk in. I keep my gaze on him when I notice a drink being set at my table.

"I didn't order a drink." I shout over the music

"Courtesy of the owner." She says

"This is from Lucifer?" I ask her

"He asked me to make you something you'd like. Did I get it wrong?" She asks

"You and Lucifer seem really close." I say

"I followed him through the gates of hell." She says

"I'll take that as a yes." I say and she laughs and walks away when I hear the piano. I look up to see Lucifer.

I get up and walk to the Piano

"Hello detective. How has your undercover surveillance of my activities gone so far?" He asks

"I've looked into you. Your name really is Lucifer Morningstar. As far as I can tell, you didn't exist five years ago." I say

"On the earthly plane, no." He said

"People don't appear out of thin air. Who were you? How did you survive getting shot six times by Jimmy Barnes?" I ask him leaning on the piano.

"Is that a normal reaction to someone saving your life? Investigating them?" He asks

"When I see something I can't explain, yeah, I look for answers." I say

"Well, I've given you the answer, detective. It's not my fault you won't accept it." He says and I lean of the piano

"Do you know what I think?" He asks

"I stopped trying to guess." I say

"I think you like me." He says

"Which part of the look on my face gives you that impression?" I ask him pointing to my face.

"No, no, no, it's not about the face. It's about the eyes, what's behind them. I think you see something that you truly desire, and you... you don't know what to do with yourself, do you?" He asks

"Really." I say and cross my arms over my chest. I move to sit down next to him on the piano.

"That's more like it." He says as I sit down. "Detective I never knew you cared." He said and I ran my hand over his chest

"No bulletproof vest." I say and he gets confused

"What?" He asks

"I just couldn't imagine how you'd get it under that suit but I had to check." I say and get up. "I'm gonna figure out your secret Lucifer." I say

"Not a secret if I'm telling you the answer! It's..." he trails off before changing the subject "why don't I affect you, detective? What makes you different?" He asks

"I guess we both have our mysteries." I tell him

"Well, I'll show you mine if you show me yours." He says and I get a phone call. I had to go. Lucifer noticed my change in attitude

"Now that affected you. What was it?" He asked and I left without saying anything.

I got to the crime scene where Dan and Chloe were waiting.

"The victim was being followed by paparazzo. Tried to lose his tail. Instead lost control of his car. Died on impact." Dan says to us

"The paparazzo following him was...?" I trail off

"Nick Hofmeister, yeah." He says

"Who's the victim?" Chloe asks

"Robbie Russell Jr." Dan replies as we walk towards the toppled car.
