"Isn't this just awkward." Maze said getting up from sofa.

"So... am I still not allowed to go outside?" Kate asked.

"Unfortunately, yes." Lucifer answered still eyeing Kate.

"This is going to be boring." Kate muttered.

"Maze told me that you had nightmare." Lucifer started.

"Maybe. What about it?" Kate asked half-heartedly munching on an apple she had grabbed from kitchen.

"Is everything fine?" Lucifer asked cautiously as if every word He said could set something in her off.

Did He see it or it's just all from Maze?

"Yeah, everything's fine." Kate paused, "Except for the fact that the person who kidnapped me is showing in my dreams now." She continued and slumped back to her room.

Later, same day

Sitting in her bedroom Kate wondered about the pills. Some of her things from her flat in New York somehow had ended up here. Must be Mazikeen. She thought. But in-between all her stuff, she didn't see any bottle of pills. Like she had big part of her clothes, books, sketch pads, computer and stuff, but that one miscellaneous item wasn't there. Did Lucifer tell Maze about the pills? Or she just thought that they could be bought new..?

"Yeah, like I have that... stupid prescription..." Kate's eyes wandered across her bookshelf where big artistic folders were.

"Maybe..."she whispered and got up from bed to reach for the folder. When in New York, she tended to keep that prescription in one of her folders because they always seemed to be in her reach.

Going through the first folder she found nothing but her own drawings and old prints from her online store. Good thing that she closed it for time being. With a huff she took another of her folders. This was a lot thinner and mostly contained a few of prints that were never sold. And between the pages she found old notes that weren't important anymore.

"Oh come on... I can swear it was here..." Kate whined throwing away the folder and not looking through all of it.

With another annoyed huff she sat back down on her bed. And as cliché as it sounded her eyes dropped to the folder and the spilled pages on the floor. There she saw that little familiar note, which was crumpled from all the nervous holding at the pharmacy.

If she didn't hear or see Lucifer when pills were affecting her, then maybe Jophiel won't need her anymore. Actually Jophiel doesn't need her, but Mathew is with her. And if Lucifer won't be near her, then maybe Mathew won't be near too. So, stupid logic actually works.

But how can she get the pills? She wasn't exactly allowed to leave the house, even if it was for her own safety.

Kate grabbed the note and looked at it. She'll soon need a new prescription. This means new doctor appointment. That didn't make her feel any better about the situation. Not to mention that nobody tells her what's going on really. Folding the piece of paper Kate putted it in her jeans back pocket and wandered back in living room.

"Lucifer is here?" She asked cautiously looking at Maze.

"No. He has more important things to attend to." Maze said and looked at Kate as if she knew that girl came to her with a favor to ask for.

"Oh.. okay..." Kate trailed off fidgeting with hands in front of her.

"Do you want something or not?" Maze asked impatiently.

"If you promise not to tell Lucifer." Kate said slowly pulling out the folded paper.

Maze narrowed her eyes at Kate. What was she asking for?

"What is it?" Maze inquired and crossed hands over her chest.

"Not much. Since I am not allowed to leave... I wondered..." Kate started not so sure about her request now.

"Spit it out, won't you?!" Maze snapped tapping her foot lightly against the floor.

"Could you get me these pills?" Kate said and thrusted prescription note towards demon. Maze looked at the piece of paper but didn't take it.

"What are they for?" Demon asked nodding at the note.

"Simple sleeping pills. You know, so that you don't need to listen to me screaming at night." Kate shrugged hoping that demon didn't detect lies like Devil.

Maze cautiously reached out for the note and looked at it.

"Are you sure that these are sleeping pills?" Maze wasn't a doctor but she wasn't stupid either.

"Yeah.. pfft... of course!" Kate dismissed it far too quickly. For your information, Kate was quite intimidated by the demon, and the promise to be hunted down if leaving the house was still evident in her head.

Maze looked at Kate with suspicion written all over her face.

"And what is the reason that I shouldn't tell Lucifer about this?" Maze asked slowly enjoying the way Kate squirmed at every question thrown at her.

"Aa..e.. He..he doesn't like how they affect me..." Kate explained and honestly it wasn't a lie; Lucifer really didn't like the aftermath of the pills.

"When do you need them? Do you need them now?" Maze asked when she was done analyzing Kate's behavior.

"It would be nice if you could get them in next few days..." Kate once again trailed off as if to act nonchalant.

"Fine." Maze said sharply and paused to put note into her pocket.

"But remember, Lucifer is going to find out anyways. Then it's on your own." Demon pointed at the girl. Even though Maze wanted to fight Lucifer, or anybody for that matter, because this was just getting boring.

Kate tried to smile and nodded.
