The Devil's Hellhound

6. Decker

(Wattpad deleted the entire chapter I had written)

"We've been over this Detective." Lucifer sighed

"And why you called the shooter two days before she was murdered." Detective Decker continued on, seemingly ignoring the Devil.

"Fine. Yeah, I called Eddie 'cause he hooks me up sometimes." 2Vile responded to the detective, his stance reluctant and nervous, but Gehenna could tell he was more shaken up by the fact his life was just threatened mere moments ago. "He met Delilah through me." He said before raising his tone an octave with slight defensiveness, "Whatever. Don't make me a killer, do it?"

"Ah, the tough gangsta wanna be persona is back." Gehenna spoke to Lucifer with slight smugness.

"No, but it does make you a suspect." Decker replied coolly.

"What, so everyone on Eddie's phone's a suspect? Are you joking?" 2Vile began, his face and tone showing his disbelief. "You gonna drag half of Hollywood downtown. Be like the Oscars or something."

"Wait." The man behind 2Vile interrupted, looking towards Decker in recognition. "Aren't you that chick from that film?"

"Hmm, what's this? What film?" Lucifer perked up without missing a beat, as if he wasn't just in a mental conversation with his, currently, canine companion.

"You used to be an actress or something, right?" The other man continued.

"Yeah." Decker seemed reluctant, and Gehenna used her seemingly sudden reluctance to pry further into her mind. What can she say, she's an opportunist.

"That teen movie- I forgot what it's called." The man was looking at 2Vile expecting him to have the answers, but with Lucifer feeding off the man's recognition, he remembered.

Holding his finger up in Decker's direction, he pulled the answer out of his hellhound's mind, "Of course. Hot Tub High School. That's where I know you from." He said as Decker's face filled with long felt regret.

"Let's just stick to my questions, shall we? So..." She tried to redirect the attention from her past.

"The one with the famous nude scene, coming out of the hot tub!" Lucifer interrupted, gaining death glares from the female detective. "It was, like, a complete Fast Times rip-off. She was, like, the new Phoebe Cates!" He glances around the room, seeing if anyone agrees with him, while Gehenna huffed and decided to lay down with her head on her paws, knowing this could take a while.

"Thanks, I appreciate that." Decker answered with a fake smile on her face.

"That was quite the nude scene." Lucifer complemented.

"I have far too many bullets in this thing for you to still be talking." She replied, before moving on from Lucifer and back to 2Vile, "You, we need to have a conversation right now." She said, desperate to get back on track.

But Lucifer interrupted again, "That's a waste of time, Detective. I've just threatened his life- he's not our guy. He would've said, trust me." A slight smug expression coming over the Devil's human face. While Chloe tried to reign in any look that could come across her own while the Devil said his piece.

"You did what?" She asked once she opened her eyes to stare at the Devil again.

"Yeah, isn't that illegal?" 2Vile jumped on the topic, a slight stutter to his words.

"Uh, little bit, yeah." She said, going back in to cop mode, her internal monologue making Gehenna laugh to herself Oh, if only Luci could hear this, she's just screaming at him. "You stay put." She told 2Vile while reaching behind her, the action causing Gehenna to sit up, "You, you're coming with me." She told Lucifer as she pulled her handcuffs out and cuffed Lucifer's hands behind his back.
