Chapter Seventeen.

Maze had told Lucifer about Charlotte's little visit and her little threats towards Chloe, Lucifer was now all hell blazing. He'd left halfway through the investigation, Chloe wasn't exactly pleased. She chased after him, taking hold of his arm, making him turn to face her almost crashing into him. She could see the anger across his face making her concerned, she knew when Lucifer was in a bad mood it never ended well. He flinched as she turned him to face her making her nervous.

"Lucifer, where are you going?" She asked softly, glancing over her shoulder, checking that Ella wasn't listening in. "You have that murderous look in your eyes"

"Chloe, it's best you stay here" Lucifer mumbled as a reply, turning to leave again but she leapt in front of him, standing in his way each time he tried to swerve around her. They were behind a building in an alley so it was pretty hard for him to escape her, the killer chased the victim down here and tied them up and sliced open their stomach, guts and intestines everywhere. Ella was loving it though. Telling all the gory details.

"No, not until you tell me where your going because I'll go with you"

"No, Detective, you're to stay far away from where I'm going" Lucifer stopped with a heavy sigh. His hands landing on Chloe's shoulders and moving her aside, her strength was nothing against his. She stomped her foot like a child making Lucifer's eyebrow raise, usually it was him acting like a child.

"Why? Because your going to terrorise someone? Torture them? What did they do? Go after your precious LUX! Lucifer we have a freakin' murder to solve!" Chloe snapped, she hated when Lucifer didn't include her in whatever he was doing. It was rare he told her. But he looked even angrier than he did when he was storming off, his face red with anger, his eyes flickering a deep blood red.

"She went after you, Chloe! That's why...now just back off!" He fired back, making Chloe stop, it turned the cogs in her mind, Charlotte. She was watching Lucifer walk off towards his car, which he'd parked up neatly around the corner. Chloe wanted badly to stop herself but she moved her feet again following Lucifer, picking up her speed.

"Maze dealt with your mother Lucifer, please don't do something you regret for me" Chloe called, Lucifer took a sharp turn, his eyes still glowing red, she placed her hands on his chest to stop him from storming right into her.

"I already did do something I regret for you, but I'd do it again Chloe, don't you understand?" Lucifer yelled this time with more feel to it, it wasn't really angry anymore, more hurt. Chloe let out a small sigh, not meeting his eyes. She could feel the eyes of their team watching them. One of them including Dan, Chloe moved her hands up to his shoulders and looked at him. His eyes had gone back to the puppy brown ones she loved. "Chloe she could hurt you"

"And she could hurt you, but right now she isn't hurting anyone...so let's find this murderer and we'll grab a drink and we'll talk about how awful your mother is after" Chloe smirked up at him, patting his cheek playfully. "Deal?"

Lucifer didn't want to but he knew it would make Chloe happy so he nodded. She grinned in victory and turned to walk off but Lucifer caught her wrist. "Next time my mum pays you a visit, I don't want to hear it from Maze. So promise me detective, that you will tell me"

"I promise, now come on, we've got a gut loving killer to find" Chloe smiled, feeling Lucifer release her wrist, she waited for him to walk at her side and headed back to the crime scene. People quickly turning back to their world as if nothing happened, except Ella of course. She would probably be known as the worlds more nerdy, sweet, down to earth and very nosy forensic scientist. She questioned them as soon as they approached close enough.

"What was that about? Seemed pretty heated, you guys aren't usually all like-" She paused, making a strangling gesture with her hands with an added expression of anger on her face. Chloe tilted her head at Ella's demonstration with a shake of her head, Lucifer opened his mouth to tell her but Chloe interrupted him.

"Nope. Not heated. Just...a disagreement of sorts" Chloe shrugged, nodding her head and looking up at Lucifer, wanting him to nod along with her. His eyebrows furrowed, not understanding.

"About my mother, she's been an unpleasant guest, not that she was ever a pleasant person, more like a obsessive raging bi-" Lucifer started but Chloe jumped in.

"What Lucifer means is that his mother isn't exactly one of our favourite people" Chloe smiled to Ella, glaring up at Lucifer and back at Ella.

"So you've met his parents? I didn't even know you guys were dating, although it was pretty obvious with all the looks, touches here and there, oh and the jealousy. That was a big clue" Ella rambled, Dan by now had joined Ella's side. Lucifer stood with a smirk on his face and Chloe was rolling her eyes.

"We don't share looks, or touches and I definitely do not get jealous" Chloe frowned, her fists clenched at her side although her face was practically glowing red. "His mum just happened to show up at my house uninvited and Lucifer wasn't exactly pleased, couldn't say I was either"

"Do you think we'd make an adorable couple?" Lucifer asked, playing along with Ella's game, loving it. He kept the smirked smeared across his face even when Chloe slapped his arm.

"Don't answer that" Chloe warned her.

"I think you'd be the best couple in the city, all the old married couple bickering, all the tension, yep. You guys should be all over the gossip magazines" Ella observed looking between the two, Lucifer was grinning from ear to ear. Dan was scowling. Chloe was placing her head in her hands.

"What do you think Detective?"

"I think we should be getting back to the dead body that lies on the floor with it's guts spilled over the floor, to put the man or woman who did this behind bars" Chloe sighed, walking away from them and going to one of the police officers around, mostly to get away from her friends and answering that question.
