Outside LUX, Chloe Decker pushed the door open.
LUX, usually bustling with people, was surprisingly quiet at this time, with only a few people chatting and drinking.
And she saw Lucifer sitting on his exclusive sofa, smiling and talking with a blonde man from England.
They seemed to be getting along very well.
"Lucifer! Did you forget that we are partners now!?"
"My God, can't you just answer a call?"
Chloe's voice echoed through the bar, reaching Lucifer's ears.
Lucifer waved Constantine away, then stood up and walked over to Chloe.
Compared to his good partner, Constantine was nothing.
"Oh, Detective, you called me? I'm sorry, my phone was probably thrown into that beautiful woman's bag... Oh no, it might have been into another 'inside'." Lucifer gestured with some inappropriate content. "But for this matter, calling my father is useless, he wouldn't be bored enough to personally manage whether someone answers the phone."
"I said God! Not your father!"
"That's right! God, that's my father!"
Chloe rolled her eyes, she was already too lazy to talk in circles with this unhinged fellow.
Why does a person with such a handsome face always act so improperly?
"I don't have time to get involved in your childhood trauma and religious metaphors right now!" Chloe clapped a hand over Lucifer's mouth. "Listen to me, there's another murder case, and as the police consultant, my partner, you need to come to the scene with me."
After speaking, she even gave a slight nod to the onlookers enjoying the show.
"Customers, I apologize for interrupting your drinking."
With that, she tugged on Lucifer's tie and headed out.
At this moment, the door opened again, and another group of people entered in single file.
And the one leading them was Dante.
As soon as he entered, he saw the members of The Legends looking at him with surprised eyes.
"Yo, Constantine, long time no see, you've been traveling abroad for a while, haven't you? How do you feel?"
"Isn't this my favorite bald... I mean, isn't this my favorite Heat Wave and Captain Cold? Haven't seen you in so long, don't you miss me?"
"And Jefferson... Well, we don't seem to be very close, but if I don't greet you, it'll look like I'm isolating you, which isn't good, doing that in the U.S. can very likely lead to a lawsuit."
"Pfft! Phew, that's much better." Lucifer removed Chloe's hand from his mouth, let out a long breath, and then walked forward to chat with Dante, an acquaintance he had only met once. "Dante, it's only been a few days, and you're back here drinking again?"
"This time it's really a coincidence." Dante pointed to a few people inside the bar, then pointed back over his shoulder. "These people are all from our Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"Wow, you're actually from the Federal Bureau of Investigation? You didn't tell me last time."
"There was no need at that time..." Dante smiled and shook his head, then looked at the wary Chloe.
Chloe was clearly a bit skeptical at this point.
She had, of course, heard of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's renowned reputation, but her rank wasn't high enough, her knowledge of this mysterious special department was limited to knowing of it and recognizing its identification.
As for further understanding, there was absolutely no way.
After all, she was just an ordinary Detective.
However, she didn't believe that people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation would have any involvement with an unhinged fellow like Lucifer.
Although Lucifer's behavior was vastly different from ordinary people, he was just a wealthy bar owner.
"Excuse me, friends, although I don't know what strange cosplay game you're playing with Lucifer, I really need to take him out of this door right now, get into my car with new tires, and head to that damned crime scene."
Dante fully understood that having an unreliable slacker at work would definitely affect one's mindset.
But he didn't move aside.
Only because Sarah Lance whispered in his ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Teacher, go with them, this case is related to an event that affects the timeline."
"...What in the world?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I would come to this bar at this time? If you understood me better, you'd know I'm always a very goal-oriented person."
After speaking, Sarah Lance took out her Federal Bureau of Investigation identification and handed it to Chloe.
Chloe was a bit confused now.
These people dared to make fake Federal Bureau of Investigation IDs!?
But after checking, she was even more confused.
This was real!
FBI agents are friends with Lucifer?
This was even more outrageous than making fake IDs!
But Chloe confirmed it repeatedly, the identification was indeed real, so she could only return it to Sarah Lance.
And Sarah Lance revealed a pure and harmless smile.
"Chloe, we are very interested in the murder case you just mentioned..."
"And I happen to think you have the potential to become an excellent FBI agent."
"How about this, take us along to see?"
