............................................................

You walked out of the coffee shop, cup in one hand, phone in the other. You fully intended to spend your weekend doing whatever the hell you pleased. That is until an all to familiar name flashed on your screen. You smiled sliding your thumb across the screen.

"Good morning Lucifer, and what does Old Scratch have in store for me today?"

He chuckled slightly at the name.

"Something I'm sure you'll find thrilling my dear."

Your smile only grew.

"Well now you have my full undivided attention."

"Lovely, then I need you to occupy the LAPD's time while I look into something."

You raised an eyebrow at that as you waited to cross the street.

"And why do you need that?"

"I need to look into something, without the Detective there to-"

"To make you venerable, got it. But exactly am I suppose to keep her and half of the LAPD busy?"

You made it to your car, and held your phone between your cheek and your shoulder. Why was it so difficult to find your keys?

"By resisting arrest of course."

You frowned at that and pulled the phone away from your ear to stare at it. Did you hear him right?

"Resisting arrest? For what?"

"Ah yes I buried the lead, well Detective Decker has received an anonymous tip that you are connected to her current case. Nasty business really."

You might have spit your coffee a little after hearing that.

"You made me a suspect in a murder investigation!?" You hissed.

"I'd love to chat but I do have a bad guy to catch my dear, no hard feelings, have fun!"

The line went dead, and you were fuming. You saw the cop car pulling up behind you and you cursed under your breath.

That was how you ended up in the situation, you were in now. Speeding down various streets to avoid being caught. Lucifer wasn't answering your calls, and you weren't having much luck losing your numerous tails. You blew through a red light , thanking every entity you could think of whenever a semi truck blocked the way for the cops hot on your trail. You skidded into an alley and wasted no time hurrying from your car. Your phone rang, and you hurried to answer it, when you saw who it was.

"Y/N! Hello darling, and how was the chase?"

You wanted nothing more than to strangle him through the phone.

"I'm going to Lux and I'm taking all the good booze from your penthouse." You snapped.

You hung up before he could protest and headed straight for Lux avoiding anyone who even remotely resembled the police. Lucifer was there when you finally arrived, and the idea of throwing a whiskey bottle at his face briefly cross your mind. He already had a drink ready for you, which you accepted immediately. You fell back into the couch, taking a moment to calm yourself from the adrenaline rushing through your veins.

"I hate you. It's a very strong burning hatred."

He chuckled and sat down beside you on the couch.

"We both know you don't mean that, and can you honestly tell me you didn't have just a little fun?"

You rolled your eyes but couldn't deny that he was right.

"I'm not a fugitive now, right?"

"I've cleared that mess up already darling, so, you are free to go back to your rather mundane life." Lucifer said waving a hand dismissively.

You stood up, patting his knee.

"I owe the actual devil many favors, I think I passed mundane five turns ago Lucifer." You laughed.

The elevator doors slid open and you passed Chloe as she walked out. She watched you in shock as you stepped into the elevator.

"Nineteen Lucifer, I only owe you for nineteen favors now!" You called over your shoulder.

"Yes I know, I am keeping track darling." Lucifer sighed as if he were annoyed.

You flipped him off, and he laughed as the doors started to close.

"Drive safe love, woul3nt want another car chase now would we?"

"Go back to hell!" You smiled.

Chloe stood there looking confused and lost.

"You knew her? How?" She asked.

Lucifer smiled to himself as he took a sip of his drink.

"Come now detective, I have to keep some secrets to myself."
