LOTUS (part two)

A/N: so just want to let you readers know that LOTUS is split into five parts. If you would like, go ahead and skip all five parts, unless you would like to continue reading (just in case you haven't reached this episode yet). It's exactly what happened in the original episode.

A body bag on a stretcher was being wheeled out of the room. Lucifer was standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by his aides and Secret Service, some still wearing their pajamas.

"One minute, we're talking about the best barbecue. I'm a Kansas City man. Bill likes Memphis. I stepped into the john and when I came out, he was on the ground. I, uh, I tried CPR, but, uh..." Lucifer lied to everyone. They were all fooled by the devil.

The female doctor looked at him. "I'm sure you did everything you could, Sir, but it appears he had a massive cerebral hemorrhage."

"Oh." Lucifer carelessly said.

The doctor continued speaking. "We're gonna need an autopsy, but I don't see any evidence of foul play."

A male aide came up to Lucifer. " If you'd like to say a few words, Sir."

A female aide walked up to Lucifer and handed him a bible. "A few words to the man upstairs, Sir, like you do every morning."

The aides and Secret Service all kneeled down and clasped their hands in prayer. Lucifer looked around, surprised.

He began to speak. "Yes. Words. Nothing we ever say feels like enough. Babies. That's what we are. Innocents. All of us struggling to...walk upright with purpose and-and pride," Lucifer's hand that was holding the bible began to shake and glow red.

"And yet, we need 'our Father'...to...be there when we fall. Today, we lost a brother. Tomorrow, we will continue our work for the country," Lucifer rolled his eyes before finishing. "Amen."

"Amen." Everyone said simultaneously.

"You always know the right thing to say." The female aide softly spoke and then walked away.

Lucifer looked at his palm that was holding the Bible and seen a cross burned into it.

Sam and Castiel were in the library at the bunker. Castiel is looking at pictures of the carnage at the archbishop's house on a cell phone, zooming in and out.

"Ugh. These pictures..." Cas was disgusted with what he saw. "The level of violence, it's completely unnecessary."

"Lucifer doesn't like to get messed with. I guess when the Archbishop's priests figured out he was possessed, they tried to keep it quiet, do an exorcism. I mean, not that it would've worked," Sam spoke. "Lucifer blew town, but not before he slaughtered the entire staff. So we were on the right trail. Where's it go now?"

"I don't know," Said Dean as he walked into the room with bags of food. "Who won the Nobel Peace Prize? Why don't we start there?"

The building was large and was titled 'Forester Estate Presidential Compound'. A building with four large black SUV's parked outside. Inside Lucifer was sitting in front of the fireplace in the main sitting area.

"While we've been away from D.C., in Belarus, negotiations between rebel forces and the government have broken down." The female aide says to all of the other aides.
