The Devil's sister

Chapter 04

CHAPTER 04

Azrael got out her brother’s car the moment he parked it near the crime scene. She took a deep breath and started to focus, trying to locate the humans soul, hoping it was still there. She should have known better, the victim was killed with her blade, which means no soul to locate.

“Azrael wait.” Lucifer said as he got out of his car.

“We need to hurry brother.” She said as she stopped, looking over her shoulder to look at him. Lucifer quickly walked towards his sister. When he was next to her she started walking again. “Before more humans die.”

Silently they entered the crime scene. Ella and Chloe both standing above the lifeless body of a female.

“Detective, Miss Lopez did you find the murder weapon?” Lucifer asked when they stopped next to the two women. Ella and Chloe looked at the siblings.

“Hey Lucifer & Azrael.” Ella said cheerfully. She surprised Lucifer yet again with a hug, he gently pushed her away.

“Nice to see you too but we have a murder weapon to catch! I mean murderer” he smirked and  looked at his sister. Azrael saw the mischievous look in her brother’s eyes and before she could stop him he said “ My sister could use a hug Miss Lopez”

She smiled and walked towards Azreal. Azrael quickly put her hands up not wanting a hug. “That is very kind of you but I have to decline. ”

“Your loss, but if you change your mind let me know. A hug is good for you, you know.” Ella said cheerfully and went to Chloe. “It’s clearly a crime of passion. Why else would somebody stab the victim 19 times… not to rob her since her wallet is still here.”

“We need to question some witnesses see if they saw who killed her and if they can tell us something about the murder weapon.” Chloe said as she was about to walk off Dan called her.

“Chloe, we found something! Some tourist made a pictures of the murder.” Dan walked towards the group with a phone, he handed it over to Chloe. On the photo she saw a happy couple, but in the background she could see a hooded man sitting on top their victim, a blade that looked as if it could be a movie prop, in his hand ready to strike again.

“It looks like a movie prop.” Dan said.

“A fake blade would not leave fatal wounds.” Lucifer said.

“That is true.” Chloe replied, looking at the knife again. “I never have seen one like it before.”

Azrael looked at the pictures as well, she peeked  over Chloe’s shoulder. She saw her blade in a humans hands, she knew it wouldn’t be long before it would be used again. She looked at her brother, it was clear he realized it too.

Lucifer saw his sister looking at him a worried and grim look in her eyes. They had to find his sister’s blade soon, before a human uses it again. They odds were against them with that one, since the blade whispers murderous thoughts into the human that’s holding it. It could be a minor things like a parking spot or looking at someone in the wrong way. Lucifer walked away signalling to his sister to follow him. They walked for 100 metres before Lucifer began to talk.

“We need to find that bloody blade before this all ends in a blood bath and Dad punishes you for Uriël’s mistake by bringing your blade here.” He was angry at his father for doing that to his sister, his eyes flashed red dancing in them was hell fire. It was only for a split second but Azrael saw it, she put her hand on his arm.

“Brother we will find my blade, I am sure of it.” She smirked at him, a vicious look crossed her eyes, they turned entirely black. “It’s been eons since we last had some real fun. Let’s show them how celestial twin cause a bit of chaos to this city.”

“Oh sister how I have missed those times and the trouble we would cause our siblings.” He smirked at her while straightening his Armani jacked. “But first we need a lead, let’s talk to miss Lopez.”
Both siblings walked towards the lab tech. She was making photographs of the victim. She looked up when she saw two pairs of shoes infront of her.

“Miss Lopez could I ask you for  a favor?” Lucifer had a devilish smile on his face.

“You want a favor from me?” She looked at him in disbelief, while stood up from her place next to the victim to look in the devil’s eyes, whom was still smiling charmingly at her. His sister standing next to him with a bored look in her eye.

“Yes, I need your scientific expertise on a discreet manner.” He was telling her. She could hear that it was something important.

“You didn’t get someone pregnant did you?” She asked halve joking. Azrael had to hold back a laugh that almost escaped her mouth, her brother, father a child, that was one of the most hilarious but also disturbed things she heard.

“Who do you see me for!” Lucifer exclaimed. “Do I look like someone that is that irresponsible? Never mind don’t answer that… if you do me this favor, I would owe you one. The devil never breaks his deals so what do you say.”

“Lucifer.” Ella smiled and looked between the two siblings. “The whole point of favors is to do it for free. You have faith that the good deed will come back somehow.”

“Please don’t ruin favors for me.” He groaned as he narrowed his eyes at her.
“Come on, I insist!”

“I would just do it his way, he can be a tat bit stubborn” His sister smirked. “I am going to go over there for a  it. Good luck with this one.”

Azrael pointed at her brother, whom just glared at her, while she walked around the crime scene, looking for the tiniest clue.

“Fine.” Ella huffed and then smiled at him, a smile he could only describe as a form of evil. “There is one thing I would like, but I am not sure if it is appropriate between colleagues. I am not sure you can handle it.”

Lucifer smiled at her. He hoped it would be something naughty. “oh now I am intrigued. Do tell what could be this favor you have in mind.”

Ella came closer and started to explain to him what she wanted in a whisper. At first Lucifer was excited at what she told him. Humming at her.

Chloe came walking towards the victim  and saw the two together, smiling and whispering. That was odd she thought, her thoughts were interrupted by a British accent.

“What do you think is the motive of this aweful crime?”  Azrael asked the human.

“Not that I should discuss this with a civilian, but since it were 19 stab wounds I reckon that it is a crime of passion. Like Ella mentioned.” She eyed the black haired woman, whom she realized still had the weird black and grey attire as yesterday on. She had never seen anything like it before. “why are you so interested?”

“Oh let’s just say I am fascinated by death and know a lot about it.” Azrael smiled a small smile which didn’t reach her eyes. This task she got from her father was a punishment that even her twin brother didn’t know the reason why of. In the beginning she enjoyed the job, since she was one of the few angels aloud in Hell. She sighed.

“Oh right the devil’s twin, the angel of death.” Chloe said sarcastically. Not believing it. “If you are an angel were are your wings?”

“They are on my back of course.”Azrael replied with a roll of her eyes, while nonchalantly playing with her hand with black curls. She smirked at Chloe. “You just can’t see them.”

“Yeah right..” they both looked at Ella and Lucifer when they heard.

“Oh no no! Definitely Not!” Lucifer said a bit too loud.

“You wanted a tit for tat.” Ella replied.

“Fine, you've just got a deal with the devil. Although I am not sure your favor is something I am looking forward too.” He shakes his head and looked at his sister. He saw her looking at him together with the detective. He wanted to get his sister away from her, just to be on the safe side, you never know with his family and their hidden agendas, or should he say his dad's. “Well when you are finished here let me know”

“I am almost done.” She quickly went to work. The faster she was finished the sooner she would find out what Lucifer needed her to do. “will be 15 minutes tops.”

Lucifer nodded and walked towards his sister and The detective.
