PIERCE'S APARTMENT

Maze started at Pierce for what seemed like forever - Even by his standards.

"You still haven't told me how you can get me back to Hell." She glared impatiently, scraping her knives on the rocks of his humble home.

"Like I said, Chloe is the key to everything."

Maze snickered, was Pierce always this vague?

"Still, getting her to fall for you... Ruthless."

Pierce's face went blank, his expression serious as always. He walked towards her and leaned in, so close she could feel his breath.

"I don't care who I have to hurt." He snapped, exactly as he intended to.

Maze nodded approvingly, fidgeting with her knives and mustering a mischievous grin.

"We have to get Lucifer out of the picture..." Pierce continued, staring off into the distance, deep in thought. "We need to end Decker's infatuation with him."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Maze smirked.

Who knows what evil plan she had concocted?

THE PRECINCT

Chloe was sitting at her desk, tapping her pen distractedly. When she glanced up, she saw Pierce strolling towards her. She grinned as he welcomed her back with a smile, handing her a cup with steaming coffee.

"Thanks."

"No problem. I was wondering if you'd like to go out again? Maybe tonight?" Pierce asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Oh, Yeah sure, why not?"

To her own surprise, she was distracted. Normally Lucifer would be boasting about something or parading around with his charismatic charm.

"Ah, Detective!" Came a voice from behind.

She turned around and saw Lucifer. Though he seemed tenser, less cheerful than usual, his eyes red and puffy from crying. It reminded her of the time when she was working the "Zombie Wedding Case". She hates to see him like this.

"Lucifer, oh my God... What happened?"

Lucifer seemed to groan at the word God, letting out a heavy sigh and rolling his eyes.

"Nothing much, I would tell you but you wouldn't take me seriously."

"You can talk to me Lucifer, I- I haven't seen you like this sinc-"

"Since my bro died?" Lucifer moaned mockingly.

Chloe's face was covered in shock, her mouth gaping open.

"Y- Your brother died?"

Before Lucifer could utter another word, Charlotte walked in.

"Lucifer, could I please talk to you?" Her eyes flashed with a sense of urgency. "About, Um-wings..."

Lucifer glanced surprisingly, shaking his head. Chloe raised her eyebrows, looking back and forth at Lucifer then Charlotte, she found their behaviour strange.

This awkward moment was interrupted by a man storming into the precinct.

"HELP! HELP! SOMEONE TRIED TO KILL ME!" The man cried, holding a feather.

He paused, lifting his hand and displaying the feather as some sort of trophy, before he continued wailing, "An angel! A man with wings, saved me!"

Lucifer's face instantly turned towards the man, he examined the feather. It really looked divine... Could he have done it?

Or did another angel sent by his Dear Old Dad trying to get attention?

Chloe glared at Charlotte suspiciously, pointing at the man.

"So, the wings you were talking about...?"

Charlotte eyes flashed with panic for a moment, before she composed herself.

"I meant chicken wings, Detective." She chuckled nervously, before making a quick exit.

"Uh- Alright anyways, let's go solve this Lucif-" She turned around and saw that Lucifer had disappeared.

Where had he gone?
