[3rd POV]
It was the next morning, and Lucifer was laying in bed. Cuddled up against her was Alice, leaning against her warmth as she looked up at her, yawning cutely as she woke up.
"Luci?" Alice muttered, as Lucifer looked down at her wife.
She had been awake for a little while now, just contemplating some things, mostly in regards to meetings that would be happening in the coming days, the next adventures she'd like to go on, and the next set of abilities she wanted when she could get them.
"Yeah baby?" Lucifer asked Alice, as the woman yawned again.
"What're you doin?" Alice asked, muffled slightly as she kept nuzzling up against Lucifer's warm body.
"Just thinking is all. You go ahead and go back to sleep, love, I've gotta get going to todays case" Lucifer said softly, leaning down and pressing a long kiss against her wifes forehead, as the woman let out a soft sigh, falling back to the warmth of sleep, while Lucifer got to her feet and walked off, a small smile on her face as she heard the soft snores of her wife echoing behind her.
Getting dressed, she walked into the living room, only to raise an eyebrow at the sight of Beatrix sitting there, playing Gears of War 1 on the Xbox 360.
"Morning Mama" Beatrix said, as she killed a grunt in the game.
"Morning little storm. What're you doing so early? It's 7 in the morning" Lucifer asked, as usually the family would wake up at around 8-9 or so.
"Wanted to play on the Xbox. I went to sleep early too" Beatrix replied simply, as Lucifer whipped up some coffee for herself, and a hot chocolate for Beatrix.
Gazing at Beatrix, Lucifer hummed as she could tell that Beatrix was being truthful, which she was happy about. She always kept an eye on her Wife and Daughters emotional state, to make sure they were all happy and healthy.
"Here you go" Lucifer said, as she handed her daughter a hot chocolate, as Beatrix smiled, her eyes sparkling at the tasty treat that her Mama had made for her.
"Thank you, Mama" Beatrix said as she gave Lucifer a peck on the cheek, as Lucifer just chuckled.
"Not a problem. Now, I'll be off for a case with Samael, you have fun, alright? Your mother will be up in a couple of hours" Lucifer said, as she grabbed her keys, and put on her comfortable coat.
"Bye Mama, have fun!" Beatrix said, as Lucifer just gave her a wave, and walked out of the apartment, teleporting off to the car garage where her vehicles were.
'Time for the next case!'

Arriving at the scene of the crime, Lucifer got out of her expensive SUV and walked over to where Samael, Chloe, and Ella were at. Just glancing between Samael and Chloe, Lucifer's eyebrow raised as a small smirk appeared on her face, upon realizing that they had done it.
"Well took you long enough" Lucifer said, walking up behind Samael as he turned to her.
"Whatever do you mean?" Samael asked, looking to the side as Lucifer smirked.
"My friend, you two are very obvious. But I do mean it when I say I am happy for you" Lucifer replied, as Samael looked at her with slight surprise.
"I-thank you? I don't suppose you'll tell me why you're happy for us?"
"I'm happy for you because I like to think of you as a friend, Lucifer. Now, what have we gotten on this case so far, any leads?" Lucifer said to her counterpart, as the man blinked at the mention of him being her friend, a small smile forming on his face at this, before turning to Ella.
"Uh...no, we actually have no information on the victim yet. Ella, is um...Dan here yet?" Chloe asked, getting a little distracted as Ella was giving Samael a shit eating grin.
"Oh, El Espinoza called in sick I'm afraid"
"Ugh, did he look in the mirror again? I told him not to do that" Samael said, as Lucifer looked to the side, trying not to show the twitching of her lips as she struggled not to laugh, while Samael was openly chuckling, and Chloe was in the same boat as her.
"We should..." Samael trailed off, pointing towards the house as they all nodded and made their way inside.
"Diane Luna, famous soprano. Time of death, 10:00 PM. Last night. Check out this puncture mark. My guess, toxicology reports will confirm that she was injected with some sort of paralytic agent" Ella said, as Chloe couldn't help but ask.
"Is that how she died?"
"Worse, much worse. You see these blood stain patterns on these lilies? That's from Diane coughing as she was choking on her own blood. The killer inserted a knife into her throat, made two very precise cuts, slashing her vocal cords" Ella said.
"Sounds like someone went through a lot of trouble to make a point" Chloe muttered, as Samael spoke up.
"Yes, I smell an annoyed neighbor who's tired of her singing. Shall I go mojo them all? I should, shouldn't I?" Samael said, as his "Mojo" aka the ability to pull out the inner desires of others, was...strangely enough, recently been used by Chloe, which was...not possible.
"There's no forced entry, meaning she knew the person that did this. But I can't be the only one who is a little concerned, right? The way this was done was...rather thought out, concise. Almost like..." "They've done this before..." Chloe muttered, frowning as she looked at the body again.
"Let's not jump to conclusions just yet, we don't want to worry anyone with talks of a serial killer running around. But...let's also look into any similar killings in the past" Chloe said, realizing that Lucifer might be onto something with that.
"Ella, who found the body?" Chloe asked, deciding to put keep in mind that Lucifer did seem to have some knowledge in detective work, and not only that, but she was beginning to get more involved.
"Oh, uh, Norman, Diane's neighbor. Over there" Ella said, pointing into the entryway to the living room, where an average man stood.
"Right the first time. Annoyed neighbor it is" Samael said, as Ella continued.
"Yeah, apparently he found the door ajar, came across the body, and phoned it in" Ella said, as Samael smirked slightly.
"That's what he says. This way, detective. I suspect we're about to hear this suspects confession" Samael said, as the three of them walked over to where the man was, as he looked to be trying to steal some figuring that the dead woman had on her coffee table.
"Excuse me. Hi. Detective Decker. Can we ask you a few questions?" Chloe said, as Lucifer looked around the room, already seeing everything that had went down, thanks to her many powers related to time, death, and detection.
"Sure"
"It must have been pretty irritating living right next to a soprano, hmm? You wanted to silence her once and for all, didn't you?" Samael asked, before turning to Chloe "Learn from the master" he said, before turning back to Norman.
"Tell me, Norman...Normsky...what is it you desire?" Samael asked, only for the man to look at him in confusion.
"What? That's a weird think to ask, man"
"Not working...but...but that means" Samael whispered, before turning back to Chloe.
"Detective, I think you stole my mojo" Samael said in shock, not expecting such a thing to...ever happen.
'Well...this'll be good' Lucifer thought, as she watched on the side as Samael began to move around, trying to "Mojo" others, while Chloe questioned Norman, and he went on a small speel about a 17 hour raid and his guild, as well as giving a bit of information of note.
"Unbelievable" Samael muttered, as Chloe got up after asking Norman for his game log, so he'd have an alibi.
"Lucifer, what are you doing?" Chloe asked Samael, as Lucifer cut in.
"Freaking out because you stole his mojo" Lucifer said, as they both looked at her.
"What?"
"You stole his mojo, he can't use it, but you can. Go ahead and try it on him, it'll work" Lucifer said, as Chloe and Samael glanced at one another, with Samael giving her a nod as she sighed and spoke.
"What do you desire?" Chloe asked, looking into Samael's eyes as Lucifer chuckled in amusement as it began to work, and Samael spoke.
"I...want my mojo back" Samael said, as Chloe let out a surprised gasp.
"Oh, my God. I...it's real. It's...cool" Chloe said with a soft chuckle, as Samael frowned.
"No, not cool" Samael said, although he said it in a rather funny way, elongating the "Cool" part.
"Lucifer, we just got together. You're already finding things to freak out about"
"I'm not finding anything, Detective. All I've done is lose stuff"
"Do you realize how long it took for us to get here? We finally have something good going on. I mean, can we please just enjoy it for a minute?" Chloe asked with a small desperate look on her face, as Lucifer watched her counterpart reply.
"Ofcourse" Samael replied, with a very fake smile, as he was very obviously not okay with losing his "Mojo".
Leaning back against the wall, Lucifer had one final thought on her mind as they continued to look through the home.
'...Father I forgot how much drama this show has...'

Lucifer's done her first bit of interference, and will begin to do a lot more in the coming "Episodes" and once a certain event happens, she'll be openly interacting with Samael, and things will be getting a lot better.
Anyways, have a good day!
