As the elevator door opens I step into the dark penthouse suite and see Lucifer standing on the Balcony unmoving to the ding of the elevator door or my footsteps as I approached " So, Charlie is back with Linda and Amenadiel so…you know, it's over" staring at his back waiting for a response but getting none I continue " isn't it? Is it over?" finally he replies to me his voice sounding somewhat sad " I'd say yes detective but I would be lying" slowly turning to me he continues " and… we both know I don't do that" looking into dark brown eyes seeing sadness and…was that fear? " Tonight we won, but we just plugged one whole in a very flimsy boat." He continued " Now the demons know I've no intention of returning, they'll continue to defy me. It's only a matter of time before they come back to Earth. Who knows where next. Or maybe they'll just come back for Charlie or…maybe you." Nodding my head I move closer to him " I see. So what…what are you saying?" shaking my head in denial as I already know the answer. " I have to go back" he replies.

" So…for now long? Like a couple…couple weeks or a month or…." I ask already feeling my insides shake. Taking a shaky breath he replies" You were right. About the prophecy. We did get it wrong. It is about Hell coming to Earth, and we may have stopped it now, but for how long? I need to keep them contained. They must have a king." Not believing what I am hearing I shake me head " No. No, no. See this is… This is what I meant, Lucifer, when I sai.. you…you can't leave me." Tears start forming in my eyes as I take several shaky breaths " Listen, I am so sorry that…how I acted when I first saw your face, I…It was stupid and…Please. " letting the tears fall freely now I shake my head again " Please don't go…I-I love you. I love you. Please don't leave!"

Gasping at my confession he stares back at me his eyes getting glossy from the tears now forming in them " you see…we were wrong about something else in the prophecy." He informs me as he takes a step closer " my first love was never Eve" he says running a hand over my cheek to wipe the years away then leaving it there as he smiles down at me " It was you Chloe. It always has been." Leaning into me his lips slowly connect with mine and I lean up to meet him and move my hands to the side of his face holding him there. Never wanting him to leave but then he slowly pulls back " please" I beg looking up at him " don't go." Taking a couple steps back toward the edge of the balcony he looks at me as the tears fall freely " goodbye" he tells me as a pair of white wings emerge from his back and I look at them in awe." Goodbye" he says again and I close my eyes in defeat, not wanting to see him fly away from me forever. I gasp when I feel a big gust of wind hit me and slowly open them again to find myself standing alone on the balcony.

Waking up sometime later, feeling the satin sheets underneath me how did I get to the bedroom? I sit up quickly was it all a dream? Looking out toward the living room I listen for any movement. Nothing. "Lucifer?" I call out hoping for a response from the devil, but instead was met with silence " no…" quickly getting out of the bed I run into the living room, looking around frantically " Lucifer!?" collapsing once more into a mess on the floor, tears falling as the breath catches in my throat and I choke back a sob.

The elevator dings behind me and the doors slide open to reveal Maze. Seeing me on the floor she runs over "Chloe, wha- what happened?" she wraps her arms around me trying to consol me before she looks around the apartment "Lucifer! What the hell did you do now?" she yelled into the apartment before I shakily reply "he…he's n-not here" Looking back down at me confused she probes for more information "What do you mean he's not here? Where did he go?" hiding my face in the nape of her neck as I continue to sob she looks around again and glares knowing the answer "Damn him!"

It's been a week since he left…left me alone to pick up the pieces and life goes on with yet another case. I stand over the body of a young female victim as Ella delivers her findings. Ella stands up and looks at me " Chloe?" looking back up at her startled " y-yes?" the forensic scientist looks at me concerned " are you okay?" sighing I nod " yeah… I am okay, I just wanna get back to work so what else can you tell me?" rolling her eyes the woman looks back at the body " there's no defensive wounds so she didn't see the attack coming, so maybe she knew her attacker?"

Nodding I pick up the victims phone with a gloved hand " maybe her cell will give us a clue about who she was meeting up with at the time of her murder" taking the phone from me Ella bags it " on it boss"
she says before walking away. Walking around the house I stumble across a piano in the corner of the living room and walk over to it. Slowly running my fingers along the keys and start to play the course of Heart and Soul remembering when Lucifer and I played it in the past. The scene running through my mind like it was yesterday even though it was years ago making a sad smile creep across my lips.

"Hey…what are you doing?" Dan asked walking over to her confused. Stopping I look up at him "oh….nothing. Did you find anything else outside?" Nodding he hands her a picture " we found these tire tracks pulling out of the driveway, Ella said she could use the database to match them up with a certain brand, might help us track down the car" Nodding I walk toward the entrance of the house "Alright….let's head back to the station, go over all the details there."

"Hey Ella, you got anything for us?" the woman in questions turns around "yes actually I was just about to call you! I was able to match the tire tracks to a very expensive brand imported from Italy, like seriously expensive. These things go for like $1500 a tire! So whoever this car belongs to is totally loaded. I did a search on who had these tired imported in the last year, came up with a few matches but only one that is connected to out vic." Typing something into the computer she turns the screen to me "one Chad Davis, CEO to an international corporation right here in LA"

Examining the photo I look back at Ella " how is he connected to our vic?" she pulls out the cell phone " She worked at his company, low level but he called the victim several times leading up to the day of her death and they exchanged a few text messages, looks like they were gonna meet up for drinks when she suddenly bailed. "

"Why would the CEO of an international company be interested in a low level employee? I asked more to myself "you got an address for this guy?" Ella hands me a piece of paper "addresses for his company and home" smiling I take it and put it in my pocket "Thanks Ella" I say before walking out to get Dan. " Dekker wait!" turning back to the woman as she moves closer to me " how…how are you doing? I mean… since Lucifer left?" Chocking up at his name I shake my head "I- I am okay Ella really, I just wanna get back to work you know?" nodding the woman pulls me into a tight hug "well don't worry, if he ever shows his face around here I am really gonna give him a piece of my mind for hurting my girl!" slightly smiling I hug back " Thanks Ella" but he isn't coming back…ever pulling back from the hug I nod at her then leave to find Dan.

"Hey Dan. I got an address, come on I'll fill you in on the way" grabbing his jacket he heads toward the elevator. Sighing I shake the thoughts of Lucifer from my mind and follow Dan.

Closing the car door I walk into the sky scrapper and over to the receptionist with Dan on my heels. "We're looking for Chad Davis" the woman looks at me from her paperwork " do you have an appoint-" cutting her off I flash my badge " I need to see him. Now" the woman gets a surprised look on her face then picks up the phone and calls up to who I assumed was the man himself " sorry to interrupt sir but…there are two detectives to see you. Right…yes sir. I'll send them right up" hanging up the phone she looks back at us "he said to go right up. He's on the top floor" nodding we take the elevator up.

Dan looks at me " look Chloe, maybe when we get there you should let me talk to him" glaring at him slightly " What? This is MY case Dan" Shaking his head he continued "I know Chloe but –" " but nothing, this is my case and I will do the questioning" I interrupted sighing in defeat he nods " alright"

The elevator dings announcing our arrival and I turn to the doors just as they open to the office. I walk in and the suited man sitting at the desk stands to greet us "you must be the detectives, please come in. How can I help you?" walking over to the desk he extends his hand "We're investigating the death of one of your employees Annabeth" The man drops his hand when I don't reach to shake it. " Annabeth…. I am sorry I don't know who that is" Dan chimes in "you don't know your own employee?"

The man looks at him, practically rolling his eyes " I run an International company detective, I have thousands of employees. Forgive me for not remembering all their names" Now it's my turn to chime in " you're lying" turning from Dan the man looks at me " oh am I?" Recounting the information Ella told me earlier I nod "we found Annabeth's phone, you and her exchanged dozen or so calls and text messages from your personal phone in the last week alone. Not to mention the tire tracks found in her driveway match the tires on your car. Italian made I believe." Putting his hands up in defense "fine…yes I knew her. We met at our last company party, we got to talking and we decided to keep in touch. Those calls and texts were about getting together for drink"

Dan shifts his weight to the other leg and places his hand on his hip "why lie about it?" The man sits back down in his chair and sighs " I am the CEO of a big company, if it got around I was involved with an employee it would look bad on me" moving over to the window I look out then back at him" What about the tire tracks? You must've been in a big hurry to get out of there"

"Last time I was there…I broke things off with her. She didn't take it well. She was yelling and throwing things at me… so yes I got out of there in a hurry" writing down his answer I ask "and when was that ?" Davis opens up his calendar "Tuesday around 10" shaking my head I write it down "she was killed Tuesday at midnight…you got an alibi for that time?"

" at home sleeping…alone" suddenly my phone beeps and I look at it and smirk then show Chad the picture " then why do we have traffic camera footage of your car in the area of Annabeth's house at 12:30AM?" Chad looks at the picture then gets up quickly knocking the chair over as he pushes past me for the emergency staircase. Dan runs after him" hold it!" he yells while I pull out my gun and shoot him in the leg crippling him to the floor in pain. Dan kneels down beside the man and grabs his cuffs "bitch shot me!" Dan locks the handcuffs and pulls him to his feet then drags him over to the elevator "… you're lucky that's all she did" he stated plainly as we ride the elevator downstairs and out to the car. Closing the door Dan looks at me "What the hell was that Chloe?" grabbing my car keys I look at him "He was getting away." Shaking his head in disagreement "I had him! You didn't have to shoot him" Ignoring his comment I walk over to the driver's side and get in.

Walking into the Interrogation room Dan and I take out seats opposite of Davis. "so Mr. Davis… care to explain now why you were in the area the time of Annabeth's death?" I ask pulling pictures out of the folder in my hand. Ignoring me Chad looks at Dan "keep that psycho away from me" sighing he looks at me and motions toward the door. Getting up from my spot at the table I walk over to the door but instead of leaving I lock it and stand beside it. Looking back at Dan he finally confesses "Yes… I was there, but it's not what you think. I didn't go there to kill her. After our argument earlier I went back to try and win her back" confused Dan leans back in his chair "win her back? I thought you broke it off with her?"

Shaking his head he confesses it was her that broke it off with him and I burst out laughing causing both men to look at me. "She broke it off with you? That must've been hard a handsome rich man such as yourself being dumped. Bet that doesn't happen often" Glaring at me he continues "No it doesn't. I bought her everything she ever wanted! Took her to fancy places and she breaks it off with me! I…I lost it and pushed her, she fell back and hit her head on the corner of the table. I didn't mean to kill her it was an accident."

"If it was an accident why didn't you call the police and wait around" Dan points out "I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I just panicked" Dan gets up and goes over to him helping him up "Chad Davis, you're under arrest for the murder of Annabeth Mitchell. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." Dan recites the rest while escorting him to the holding cells.

Filling out the paperwork for the arrest Dan walks over to me " Chloe, maybe you should take some time off" stopping mid sentence I drop my pen and look at him " What?" sitting on the corner of my desk he looks at me "your obviously still upset about Lucifer taking off. I get it… he was your partner but you – "that's Lucifer's spot. Cutting him off I push him off the edge of my desk and he catches himself "I am fine Dan" scoffing at me he sits down in the chair across me "No you're not. You're acting like Lucifer! Assaulting suspects when you don't need to. Laughing at them and antagonizing them. That isn't you Chloe" Glaring at him I get up from my seat, grab my things and walk toward the exit. Dan gets up and follows me with his eyes then sighs and runs a hand through his hair.
