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

Chapter XXII

"Nobody is coming in or out of this neighborhood until we find this baby, is that clear?"

Saying things had been hectic was an understatement.

Chloe had called Dan immediately after officer Anderson told her that a woman had come up to him and told him her baby was missing, and considering the fact that the victim's child had been a kidnapped child herself, well... they had many reasons to believe both cases had something to do with each other.

After a lot of arguing and reproaching, Dan cleared Chloe and Lucifer to blow their cover and take on their duty as law enforcement. Chloe being the one with the highest rank, was the one chosen to take on the lead, bossing people around like she was so used to.

With her badge hooked on her belt and her gun on its holster, she approached the woman that had told the officer her baby was missing.

"Katherine Wallace? Detective Chloe Decker, LAPD. This is Lucifer Morningstar, my partner and civilian consultant. We just wanted to ask you a couple of questions," she introduced herself to Katherine, who looked shocked, to say the least, that their new neighbors were the cops.

"Patrick? Sophia?" She asked them confusedly, to which Chloe flashed her badge.

"We were undercover to try and help with Rebecca's case. We solved it now but we have reason to believe your baby's disappearance has something to do with Rebecca's death," Chloe explains herself, acting professionally.

"Why... why is that?" She wondered.

"I'm afraid we can't disclose that information. When was the last time you saw your baby?" She pulled out a notepad from one of Lucifer's pockets.

"I... Right around the time the cops arrived I went back into my house. I placed David on his bassinet and I just... I went to get a glass of water and by the time I came back he was gone," Katherine was sobbing profusely, being contained by her husband who was rubbing her back lovingly. "I thought maybe Mark had taken him to his room but then he told me he hadn't and I freaked out,"

"Does this neighborhood have any kind of vigilance system? Cameras, guards?" She asked again.

"We do have those, one of the officers is retrieving the tapes from the vigilance room," Willow walked up to them, looking disappointed in everything that had happened. "Thank you for solving our beloved Rebecca's death. We hope you can find David as well,"

"No one is leaving this place until we do, you can rest assured," Lucifer told her with his usual charm in his voice.

"Since you were quick to report him missing and the guard at the front gate hasn't seen anyone go out of the neighborhood after the cops came in, we are positive he's still in here. We just have to find him," Chloe sighed deeply, starting to feel the weight of the day on her body, especially her lower back. "Did anyone ever seem suspicious to you? Someone who maybe took too much interest on your baby or something like that?"

"No, not really. David is a newborn, everyone's been pretty interested and excited about him; today was our first outing ever since he was born," Katherine lost her composure and broke down crying again, hugging her husband.

"Someone you didn't know all too well that showed up to Rebecca's grieving gathering, perhaps?" Lucifer spoke, noticing Chloe's discomfort. "Apart from ourselves, that is,"

"We've been living here for ten years, we literally know everybody and no one was out of place, except for you guys," spoke Katherine's husband, Mark.

"Thank you, and know we'll do everything we can to find your son," Chloe told the woman, receiving a nod on her side before grabbing Lucifer by the arm and pulling him away.
