Forever Unbroken

Denial and Discoveries

Dan took a deep breath as he got out of his car and handed his keys to the valet.

"Go on in Detective Espinoza, Mr. Morningstar is expecting you."

Dan had decided to dress up a little, it may not be a date, but he was going to a popular nightclub for fun and not work for a change, so he decided to live a little and dress the part.

He wore black skinny fit jeans, comfortable, yet fashionable boots, and a dark red muscle shirt. The outfit made him look a bit younger and showed off how fit he was. He even noticed a few men and women checking him out as he strode through Lux. For a moment he regretted dressing up like this until he approached the bar and Lucifer saw him. Dan noticed that Lucifer was being his usual self and was entertaining his patrons, all of them caught in his thrall. But as Dan walked up, Lucifer seemed to tune them out, his eyes raking Dan's form. He could have sworn that the man--correction, the Devil had just winked at him. They still needed to talk about that.

"My, well don't you clean up nicely. Mmm, why have I never seen you dressed like this before? Normally, your casual attire screams either cop or boring." Lucifer eyed Dan again, this time circling him to get a full view before abruptly grabbing him around the shoulder and leading him closer to the bar. "Dan, grab any drink you like, then come sit near the piano, I'm just about begin a set."

Dan got a drink from the bartender and made his way over to the couch near the piano. The pop music playing faded out as Lucifer began playing. Dan was shocked when a spotlight suddenly shown on Lucifer and he began to sing. He knew that his partner played quite well, but he had no idea that Lucifer sang as well.

There must be some kind of way outta here

Said the joker to the thief

There's too much confusion now

I can't get no relief

Business men, they drink my wine

Plowman dig my earth

None were level on the mind

Nobody up at his word

Hey, hey

No reason to get excited

The thief he kindly spoke

There are many here among us

Who feel that life is but a joke

But you and I, we've been through that

And this is not our fate

Dan was awed by the smooth tones of his partner's voice. A strange feeling bubbled up in his chest--he suddenly wanted to listen to Lucifer sing for hours. At first, Dan wondered if he was singing about his life here in LA, but now he began to wonder if Lucifer was singing to him. Dan was mesmerized by his partner's voice and his eyes widened when Lucifer turned and looked straight at him, meeting his stunned gaze as he continued singing.

So let us stop talkin' falsely now

The hour's getting late, hey
