"Any idea who this guy is then?"
"No. But I have an idea on how we can find out."
Chloe's phone rings suddenly and she pulls it out.
"Hey Dan," she says, answering it. "...Yeah, he's here. Sure."
Chloe hands the phone to Lucifer, who takes it with a confused look.
"Daniel?" he asks, holding the phone up to his ear.
"Hey man," Dan's voice replies. "I'm just wondering where Nyx is, he hasn't shown up yet and I don't want to go check your penthouse in case he shows up while I'm gone."
"He wasn't feeling well, so he's taking the day off," Lucifer replies. "He should be back tomorrow."
"Alright, thanks."
"Of course."
Handing the phone back to Chloe, Lucifer focuses on his bond with the draxon.
Daniel's worried about you, he says.
He is? comes the reply.
Well you didn't show up at the precinct and there was no given reason why.
Good point.
How're the dragons? Lucifer asks.
Fine, Nyx replies. Though I'm being roped into another tea party with Vortex and his daughter.
Drag Jinx along with you, Lucifer suggests.
I was going to enjoy the party already, but that is a great idea!
Lucifer smiles softly at the excited tone in Nyx's voice.

*Jinx!* Nyx calls, dashing through the meadow towards the dragon.
*What?* Jinx replies in confusion turning to the king.
*Come on!*
*Where?*
*Vortex's daughter Leena invited me to another tea party and I'm dragging you!*
Jinx's eyes widen, his wings flaring in protest, *What?! Why?!*
*Luci's idea!* Nyx says happily. *Now come on!*
*No! Tea parties are not for me, Nyx! No way!*
*Yes way!* Nyx sings. *I can and will force you!*
Deciding to give up and just go with it, Jinx sighs heavily and follows the draxon.
The golden dragon grumbles under his breath, *Note to self; hit Lucifer over the head next time I see him.*

"Are you sure about this, Lucifer?" Chloe asks over the phone.
"Yes, Detective, I'm sure," Lucifer replies, sitting in his black 62 corvette a block away from the Crimson Vipers' club. "I'll be fine."
"I can't convince you to wear an earpiece?"
"No, Detective, they won't talk to me otherwise."
"And I couldn't just wait nearby instead of at the precinct?"
"Unfortunately not, just in case things turn ugly. I don't feel like being riddled with bullets today."
Chloe sighs. "Alright... Just be careful, Lucifer."
