They'd finished up finding out what they needed from the childrens mother. Chloe didn't miss how angry the woman seemed and someone that powerful doesn't let someone just go to prison for what they did. No, they dealt with it the violent way. They way of getting revenge. Lucifer had noticed it too, the murderous look in the womans eyes was something he was pretty good at detecting.

"Detective, I do believe that woman will take the punishment in her own hands." He told her, Chloe nodded stopping and looking up at the large tower. It was one of the highest towers in the city.

"I think so too. We'll just have to hurry and find whoever it is first, lets start with this Frank guy, maybe he'll have some answers." Chloe muttered, quickening her pace as she headed for the car, Lucifer at her tail. He watched as she flickered into detective mode, wondering how she did it, although she could ask how he flipped from devil mode to normal and he wouldn't have an answer.
They headed back to the precinct so they could find out where their next suspect could be, there was a long moment of silence before Chloe broke it.

"Are positive you don't remember anything from last night?" She asked once again, just making sure, hoping that by now the kiss had come back to his memory. But he shook his head.

"What happened after my fifth shot Detective?" Lucifer asked, worried he'd went all devil on someone and she saw, the thought scaring him. Chloe gnawed her lip, focusing on her driving. Lucifers eyes lingering on her, waiting for an answer. "Detective?"

"We were drunk," Chloe started, wondering if it was the right thing to do. Wondering how he'd react, but she hated acting like nothing happened. "And uh-we were talking about us...about the conversation we had earlier that night, it was almost half past eight and I had to get back to Trixie and as I got up to leave you caught my wrist and...you-you kissed me."

Lucifer listened, his eyes widening at her final words, although he wasn't really surprised, when he was drunk he often did things he was to afraid to do when he was sober. He finally let it set in, his shocked face turning into a smirk. But Chloe wasn't finished.

"And I kissed you back" She finished, letting out a small sigh, happy to get it off her chest. Lucifers grin just grew bigger by the second, loving this information. He nudged her playfully.

"Well then Detective, how was it? I imagine it was quite eye opening." Lucifer winked, making Chloe roll her eyes playfully, but shooting him a smile.

"More like sloppy," Chloe laughed, making Lucifers jaw drop, he'd always thought he was a great kisser. Chloe glanced over to see his face, only making her laugh more. "Oh cheer up Lucifer, every drunk kiss is sloppy."

"Want to try the sober version?" He smirked, his question made her swerve in shock, having a mini heart attack as she drove properly. Her cheeks burned, part of her wanted to say yes. Actually all of her wanted to say yes but she remained quiet, Lucifer grinning like Cheshire cat at her reaction. "Come on Detective, I know you want to, why else would you kiss me back? Except the fact that I'm irresistible of course."

"I was drunk Lucifer." She answered, clearing her throat, avoiding any eye contact, wishing she could get to the precinct sooner. Lucifer would gladly stay in the car making comments about the kiss.

"Maybe Detective, but they say you do the things your too afraid to do when you're drunk." Lucifer said, shifting in his seat to face forward. Chloe thought about it, he was probably right, but she didn't want to admit that.

"Let's just find this Frank Ramon." Chloe muttered, not knowing what else to say. She pulled up in her parking space at the precinct, she looked over at Lucifer still smiling at her. "Lucifer, stop, it's getting creepy."

Lucifer let out a light laugh and clambered out of the car, Chloe soon after. Lucifer waited for her to reach him, just as she was passing he grinned and took his chance. He caught her wrist like the night before and turned her to face him, putting one hand on the small of her back and the other on her cheek pulling her in for a kiss, her lips were already on his before she could refuse. She melted into the kiss, before remembering where they were, her eyes shot open, greeted by Lucifers closed ones as he kissed her and she pushed him gently, making Lucifer pout. She had to admit his sober kisses were much better than his drunk ones. She had the urge to slap him but she didn't. She just smiled.

"See, much better then a drunk kiss, am I right?" Lucifer said licking his lips, satisfied with the kiss. Chloe felt her cheeks heat up and she turned away to head into the precinct, Lucifer frowned and followed quickly. "You can't say nothing after a kiss like that Detective, I believe that's top on my list for favourite kisses."

Chloe tried to ignore him, trying to cool down her cheeks but they just got hotter. She prayed no one had saw them out there, knowing how fast gossip spread around the precinct. Lucifer walked closely beside her so that their shoulders brushed at every step they took.

"It wasn't just the alcohol Detective, what did I tell you? You kissed me back, because you wanted to." Lucifer grinned in victory, sitting himself on her desk and she sat at her computer and searched for Frank Ramon.

"Fine Lucifer, maybe I wanted too, maybe that kiss was one of the best I've had too but we aren't talking about this now, we've got a case to solve." Chloe sighed looking up at him, his brown eyes burning into her blue ones. Lucifer felt like he was a child who'd won the biggest prize at a fair. He understood and nodded, he was definitely not forgetting that anytime soon and he knew she definitely wouldn't either.
