Chapter Text
Chloe and Dan were talking to someone they needed to speak to as part of their case. “Aren’t you Lucifer Morningstar’s partner?”
“Yes,” Chloe said.
“I love that guy!” Lucifer then appeared. “Lucifer!” Lucifer waved and walked towards the man. Chloe and Dan also turned around.
“Hello Bashir.”
“Lucifer, why are you here?”
“I’ve come to collect my debt.”
“Really? Your partner was about to collect your debt.”
“SHE…” Lucifer said as he pointed at Chloe. “Is not entitled to collect anything that’s rightfully mine. Not any more.”
“Really?”
“Yes. There are only 4 people who I will allow to collect my debt. And SHE… is not one of them.”
“Very well then. Your debt?”
“I’d actually like to cancel it.”
“Really?” Lucifer nodded.
“I’m planning a long trip, as it were, and I don’t know if i’ll ever come back. So i’m cancelling all of my debts, just in case.”
“Very well then Lucifer. Can you do something for me?”
“O.K. What?”
“A necklace of mine was stolen, I was wondering if you could get it back for me.” Lucifer nodded.
“O.K. I know someone who can help me.” Lucifer shook Bashir’s hand and left. Bashir walked back towards Chloe and Dan.
“Will you help us?” Dan asked. “Sorry. But Lucifer cancelled his debt. So you have nothing to use to make me help you.” Chloe turned around and went after Lucifer. Dan followed her.
Lucifer was walking down the street to his car. “Lucifer,” Chloe said. Lucifer stopped but then kept on walking. Chloe ran towards Lucifer and stopped him in his tracks.
“I’m not saying anything to you,” Lucifer said. Lucifer then walked past Chloe and opened his car door. Chloe grabbed Lucifer’s left arm. A look of anger then appeared on Lucifer’s face. He then turned around quickly and slammed Chloe’s head on to the corvette’s boot and held it down. “I said… I have nothing… to say to you.” He then threw her backwards onto the grass nearby, got in the car and drove off. Dan reached Chloe.
“Are you O.K.?” Chloe nodded.
“I’m fine.”
Lucifer headed to the precinct and went to Ella’s lab. “Lucifer? What are you doing here?”
“Afternoon Miss Lopez. I’ve come to ask for your help, if you’ll help me.”
“Sure. What with?”
“I need to find a necklace.” Ella nodded.
“O.K. But I want you to tell me something first.” Lucifer nodded.
“O.K. What do you want me to tell you?”
“What happened between you and Chloe?”
“You mean she hasn’t told you?” Ella shook her head. “That doesn’t surprise me. She does think she’s innocent after all.”
“So what happened?”
“She tried to kill me.” Ella looked surprised.
“Why?”
“Because she’s weak and pathetic, Miss Lopez.”
“I’m going to need more than that, Lucifer.” Lucifer sighed and pulled down the blinds in Ella’s lab. “What are you doing?” Ella asked.
“I’m showing you.” Lucifer’s devil face then emerged and a look of shock appeared on Ella’s face.
“So it’s true?” Ella asked, shocked.
“Yes, Miss Lopez. I’m truly sorry.” Ella thought for a moment.
“It’s O.K. To be honest, i’m kind of relieved. I have many questions.”
“I’m sure you do and I will happily answer all of them. Perhaps you should come by the penthouse this evening. I will answer EVERY question you ask.” Ella nodded.
“O.K.”
“So will you help me, Miss Lopez?” Ella nodded.
“O.K.,” Ella said, whilst sighing.
After doing so, Lucifer left to get the necklace back. He walked past Chloe as he was leaving. Chloe turned around like she wanted to say something to Lucifer. But then turned back around and entered Ella’s lab, whilst Dan returned to his desk. “Ella. What do we have?” Ella looked forwards, slightly angrily, and didn’t turn around. “Ella?” Ella turned around. “What’s wrong?” Chloe asked.
“Lucifer told me what you did,” Ella said, slightly angry.
“What?” Chloe asked, shocked.
“How could you be so weak?!!?” Ella asked, angrily. Chloe looked ashamed. “He showed me his face,” Ella stated.
“And you’re O.K. with it?”
“Yes. Because… unlike you, I know that he’s not how he’s portrayed. I gathered that from the evidence of knowing him.” Ella shook her head in disappointment.
“Ella…”
“Don’t.” Ella shook her head and left to tell Dan something. Chloe turned around and left the precinct to go home.
When Chloe arrived, she had to face Maze. “Backstabbing liar,” Maze said as she walked past Chloe. Chloe and Maze both turned around to face each other.
“Can you understand what i’m going through for a minute?”
“You tried to kill Lucifer, lied about it and you also made me believe that Trixie hadn’t forgiven me. I regretted what I said about Trixie as soon as I said it. And you just…” Maze shook her head in disappointment. “So should I listen to you? No. Do you deserve sympathy for a single moment? No. That’s why Linda’s better than you. She handled it better than you ever will.” Maze then punched Chloe in the face and left.
After getting up and cleaning the blood off her nose, she headed to Linda’s house. Linda opened her front door after Chloe knocked on it. “I wondered when this moment would come…” Linda walked into her kitchen and made Chloe a drink.
“I don’t know how to handle this.”
“I didn’t either, but then Maze talked to me and I accepted it. I suppose it’s my turn to do the talking.” Chloe shook her head.
“Lucifer won’t listen to me. He hates me. Maze hates me. He also showed Ella his face, he told her what I did and now she hates me too.” Linda sighed.
“It seems that Ella took it better than both of us then…” Chloe nodded. “But if you want Lucifer to forgive you, then you have to give him a good reason to.” Chloe nodded.
After solving the case, Chloe went to the penthouse where she found Lucifer talking to Ella. “Well thank you, Lucifer. That was helpful.”
“And that was a lot of questions, Miss Lopez.” Ella nodded and smiled. “Listen, if you need any more help with this. Then don’t hesitate to ask.” Ella nodded.
“Thank you Lucifer, I will if I need to.” Ella then walked towards the elevator, ignoring that Chloe was there. Lucifer stood up and began to walk up the stairs to his bed.
“Lucifer…” Chloe said. Lucifer didn’t turn around. Instead he picked up something. Chloe looked at Lucifer wondering what he was holding. Lucifer turned around to reveal that he was holding a sledgehammer.
