She's Got The Devil's Eyes - Deckerstar (Completed)

Chapter XXI

"No way," Chloe sighed, having Lucifer sat right beside her and deciding which things she got to work on. That was something she had had to learn how to deal with ever since she started working on desk duty back when she got shot.

"I only asked her to assist me on a case, you don't even know what it's about," Daniel argued. Trying to get past Lucifer these days whenever Chloe was around was almost impossible. "Chill, dude,"

"Don't listen to him, he's being a helicopter parent already," Chloe dismissed him, watching as he opened his mouth wide in surprise. "What did you need?"

"Okay, I'm positive Lucifer will say no but I gotta ask," and oh he was right, the devil wouldn't be pleased.

"You're supposing right, Daniel,"

"Okay, so, I'm working that case of the woman found on a dumpster in a private neighborhood, right?" Chloe nods at him, knowing which case he was talking about. "And it's really high profile because everyone there is rich, but I've hit a dead-end,"

"I don't understand how she can help you with this. Have you talked to Miss Lopez?" Lucifer interceded.

"Yeah. It was a crime of passion, the scene was really messy but no leads as of now," Dan sighs, getting ready to ask what he wanted. "I need an insider, someone to go undercover,"

"No no no no no, and have I mentioned no, and also no?" He jumped the second the suggestion came out of Daniel's mouth. No way, no one was going to be doing that, not under his watch. "She's on desk duty for a reason, Daniel. No, actually, two reasons,"

"I know she is, and that's why it's genius!" In his douchy mind, the plan made sense. "If you two go undercover for a couple of days no one will suspect, and you can talk to all the neighbors,"

"Dan, I really don't think that's a good idea," Chloe spoke up, placing her hands on her thirty-week bump. Even though she still had almost two months to go, she looked to be full term already. "I'm a liability on the field right now, I can't even walk without waddling,"

"You wouldn't need to be on active duty," he insisted. "I just need you to play family for a while and ask the neighbors about the dead girl. Her husband doesn't know of anyone who might have done it and the neighbors claim to not have seen anything,"

"Daniel, I don't think you get it but have you seen her? She still has a while to go and she looks like she's about to burst," Lucifer, always so gentle. "I'm no expert but that seems uncomfortable,"

"Thanks for the compliment, sweetie," the sarcasm was palpable in her voice.

"Chloe, please," Dan begged, ignoring Lucifer's commentary.

"Why can't you ask someone else to go undercover?" She asks this time, bringing up the paperwork she had been doing on that particular case. Since she was on desk duty, she was helping out with everyone's paperwork.

"You know about the case and you have experience. And Lucifer has gone undercover before, too,"

"Don't remind me. I'll never forget seeing Lucifer sucking Pierce's mouth," Chloe made a noise, scrunching up her nose.

"As you know, detective, I'm devoted to my job," he said with a smug smirk on her face, remembering how uncomfortable Cain had been. "But no, Daniel. I'm not putting my family at risk,"

"You wouldn't be at risk," he insisted, being persistent. "You don't need to barge in and shoot everybody, you just have to be nice and ask questions," Lucifer and Chloe remained silent, considering Daniel's offer. "Please?"

"Dan, I... I'm pregnant with twins, what if I go into labor while I'm there?" Chloe couldn't help it but be concerned.

"Don't you still have a while to go?"
