For You, I Will

It all happened so fast. One minute, Lucifer was speaking with his charge when this other woman barged in with a gun forcing Chloe to draw hers in return.

From the body language of their suspect, it was evident that she was going to pull the trigger and that just doesn't sit well with the devil especially when the weapon is pointed at his partner. So he moved in with an almost inhuman speed and intercepted the lunatic but not before she fired the gun point-blank.

Lucifer doesn't feel the pain immediately, adrenaline rush and all, and managed to subdue the suspect while Chloe pulls out the cuffs. This is when she notices the bloodstains on his vest. When the rush died down, his legs almost gave out but he managed to slow down his descent and sat down on the platform.

"Lucifer?" The detective had grabbed a napkin from a nearby table and placed it on to his wound, where it got soaked in instant.

"It's not me who I'm worried about. Besides this is just a scratch, Detective. I'll get better once (you're out of range), I get treated at the hospital. Oh and bloody hell it hurts. Much worse than being shot through the leg."

Chloe chuckles and shakes her head. He could still make jokes which means he must really be alright.

"Is the room spinning?" He asks because he's pretty sure he didn't have too much to drink. It would take a bottle or ten to get him buzzed.

Chloe answers, "No,"

"It's not? Strange."

She waves over an EMT to assess the wound and when he arrives, Lucifer already lost consciousness. Backup and emergency services were only a block away and were within the vicinity minutes after the reported shooting.

"We need to get him to the hospital. It looks like the bullet nicked an artery."

She lets the paramedics wheel him into the ambulance. Chloe follows in her cruiser, silently muttering the words 'please be okay' like a mantra.

At last, they got into the hospital. They immediately prepped him for surgery, and the detective faintly heard about her partner crashing twice on the way.This almost made her panic. This will be the third time he saved her life at his expense. He'd always been reckless, but he pulled through. This was a whole new level. You know how they say 'third time's the charm?' He may not be as lucky now.

Chloe calls Maze and Amenadiel and how they got there so quickly is another topic but well, the situation looks grim.

The devil wakes up and sees his demon, his brother, and his partner in the waiting area. He comes up to them and tells a joke, but he is ignored.

"Okay, not funny. Well, who are you guys waiting for?"

He asks, but his question is left unanswered. Moreover, they didn't even look at him, like he's some invisible thing or...

Wait.

Lucifer peeks into the OR and sees himself being worked on by the doctors. As he recalled the previous minutes, all he could remember was the conversation with Chloe and then nothing else.

Wait.

"No, no, no, no. This can't be happening. I am not going back to Hell! Bring me back to the mortal plane at once dear sister! Hellooooo? I know you can hear me!" He shouts at the top of his lungs.

"Ugh. Did you really have to scream, brother?" She appears behind him, twisting her little finger on her right ear.

"If you had come the first time I called, then I wouldn't have had to."
