Lucifer & Chloe: Alluring Devilish Ways

Volume V

    Lucifer nearly jumps out of the car before Chloe even got the chance to stop. "Lucifer what the hell?!" Chloe screeches to a halt and snatches his fabric on his shoulder; tugging him back. "What detective, I'm just eager that this can specie up our boring detective nonsense" Lucifer says with a smirk on his face. "You can't wait for one second so I can park?" Chloe snaps back. Lucifer ignores her and steps out of the car. "Fine." Chloe says with a hard eye roll. "He's such a child" she says under her breath as she goes to park.

"Where in the world did he go" Chloe says as she walks into the noisy strip club. "Ah detective!" She hears from behind her, "oh god help me if he-" she says turning cautiously around. "I got you a treat, which one would you like? Dark chocolate or perfect face?" He says, shoving two men into Chloe's space. "Lucifer!" She says through gritted teeth, "we are here on a case about a killer who may or may not kill again and you're hooking me up with strippers!?" Lucifer is silenced for a second. "Yes" he quietly responds; cringing his face waiting for her response. "You're so ridiculous" she says yanking him towards her, "get your head in the right mind set or I'll bench you! I know you in this environment very well but you're more than capable of focusing" she harshly whispers into his ear. He looks over almost aroused but holds back his sleazy comment. "Alright detective."
After searching together and splitting up they circle back through the whole club. "Nothing" Chloe says after they met up again, "yes it seems to me like our newly wed moved on" Lucifer adds sipping on a glass of bourbon. "She got her fun, I should have got mine" he says under his breath. Chloe gazing up at him, squinting her eyes. "We must have just missed her or she's gone" Chloe says, Lucifer shrugs "I don't know, I can tell when one egg is bad from the bunch." As they scan the club, Chloe's eyes dart to her phone and she picks up a call. "Ella what's up?" She asks. "Well we got a DNA match in the database, Courtney Wilson is our newly wed" she says, Chloe smiles and mouths to Lucifer that they got a hit. "We got a description, short, dark haired, and dark lipstick" Ella states, "but be careful you guys okay" "don't worry, we'll be fine. Thanks Ella" Chloe says placing her phone back in her pocket. "Courtney Wilson's her name, short, dark haired with dark lipstick" Chloe repeats back to Lucifer. "Ooh the edgy type, fits her nicely considering" he says. "Alright, let's split up again and hope that one of us will bring her back this time." Chloe says as Lucifer nods and moves into the crowd.
Chloe lingers around the bar for the killer while Lucifer ventures out into the stage area of the crowd. "Hey baby, you wanna free dance?" Chloe hears from her side, she could already tell there was a stripper in her peripheral vision. "No I'm fine" she answers a bit agitated. "Your loss" was what she heard and she rolled her eyes and turned toward the bar tender. "Hey have you seen a girl, short, dark hair and lipstick?" Chloe asks, "uh we can't give out that information" he answers back. She flashes him a badge and he seems to be sweating now. "Yeah she was here a second ago, she ordered shots" he chokes out still staring at the badge. "And where did she go?" Chloe asks, "to the stage" he says as his eyes point for him. "Thanks" Chloe says taking off into the crowd. She searches through loads of drunken people that seem to all be hitting on her or are offended that she's looking at them. "Damn where is she?" Chloe says to herself under her breath. Suddenly Chloe jolts her head to the sound of the crowd screaming in terror. She swiftly weaves through the panicked crowd to find the scene. She grabs out her gun and holds it to her side. "Detective!" She hears and perks up and starts to rush in that direction. She stops dead in her tracks; eyes wide. Lucifer stood in front of her with a jacket wrapped around his neck and a knife protruding out of the side of his neck. Blood poured down his neck and chest; staining his shirt collar. He was trembling with pain has the jacket like noose got intensely tighter. She pulled her gun out almost immediately, "stop right now!" She projected her voice loud. A small women steps out from behind her hurting partner, "fuck off" she hisses at her. "Let him go!"she demands, she shook a little from worry. Lucifer chokes and moans with pain while trying to yank the jacket looser. "Let him go or I'll shoot!" Chloe threatens, "fuck....you" the women aggressively shouts. Chloe was trembling with anger and worry when she sharply aims, "let him go, this is your last warning bitch!" Chloe snaps back. "Go to hell" she responds and with that Chloe pulls the trigger. The crowd roars with fear as the gun shot sounds, Chloe cringes at the mass hysteria. A thud fills the room and silences the crowd. Lucifer held his breath and glances down at the lifeless woman in a pool of blood. Chloe rushes up to Lucifer scanning over his wounds, "Lucifer are you okay?!" She says as her hands search his neck and chest.

"I think so.." -Lucifer gets overcome with pain radiating from his neck- "Not in the slightest bit but I'll be fine" he coughs out gesturing to the knife jabbing into his neck. "What ever you do don't-" -Lucifer grasps the knife and yanks it out- "pull it out!" Chloe shouts at him, "Lucifer!" "See I'm fine" he says smiling but then his face cringes with pain and he stumbles backwards. She grabs hold of him and steadies him, "just stay there I'll call for an ambulance" Chloe says as they lock eyes. She gets overwhelmed with worry as she sees the pain in his eyes. She gently rubs his arm, "your gonna be okay."
