Benny unveiled his newest art piece to Lucifer "It's my Pig Diddy piece. A collector in Dubai offered me 150 G's for it. I want you to have it. As thanks for saving my life. Again,"

Lucifer sighed "Yes, my favor really did pay off for you, didn't it, Benny? You're a huge str. But if there's one thing the Devil abhors it's a fake,"

Benny looked at Lucifer in shock "What are you talking about? I'm all about authenticity,"

"Sure. Except for the lying. You failed to inform me that in getting you off the B&E charge, suspicion would immediately fall on your best friend,"

Benny shook his head in denial "I had no control over that,"

"Didn't you?" Viper voiced as he and Maya entered the room.

"Oh...hey, it's good to see you, man. I missed you, bro,"

Maya walked over to Lucifer as the two continued talking. She felt Lucifer's hand brush her back and once more her defenses faltered.

"That why you never came to visit me in prison?" Viper asked.

"I wish I could've done more," Benny claimed..

"Framing him for shooting up your fashion show surely didn't help." Maya voiced "Viper was always the real talent. When you heard he was getting released, you tried to take down the competition before he could take down you,"

Benny scoffed.

"Planned a simple frame job. Parole violation that would send Viper back to prison,"

"But when Paola Cortez died, you had to improvise, didn't you?" Lucifer questioned.

"You knew pointing the fingers at Latin Kings would eventually get back to me," Viper said.

"How the hell could I have staged that frame job?" Benny asked, "How could I have pointed a gun at myself?"

"Because you didn't pull the trigger," Maya replied.

"So many bullets fired into that crowd." Lucifer said, "How did no one get hit?"

Maya looked over at Hector "That takes precision. I saw your Marine tattoo when I met you, Hector. A heart in crosshairs. Sniper Unit. Best marksmen in the world,"

"Not as good you of course," Lucifer whispered to Maya.

Maya kept a stern face as she continued interrogating Hector "Did you know firing a gun into a crowd is a felony? You're responsible for Paola's murder,"

"Unless, of course," Lucifer spoke up "you were just doing someone a favor,"

"No, man." Benny interrupted "Hey..."

Hector broke and pinted "Benny made me do it! I'll testify, man. He told me he'd make me a partner. But then he made me plant the gun on Viper. And kill Pig Diddy." he cried "I loved that pig, man,"

Maya moved towards Hector, almost immediately of leaving Lucifer's side she felt the coldness.

"Oh, well the good news is that whilst all dogs go to heaven, you'd be surprised how many pigs are waiting for you in Hell," Lucifer mused.

"Okay, let's go," Maya told Hector after handcuffing him.

Benny turned harshly towards Viper "You were never good as me, man. Never!" he pushed Viper around.

"What?" Viper taunted.

Lucifer moved towards the fight "I don't think so, Sonny G." he pushed Venny through his art "Mm. I'm no expert on L.A. street art, but it's funny...this piece seems a lot more authentic to me now." Lucifer knelt in front of Benny revealing his devil face "I think I'll keep it,"

Lucifer, Chloe and Maya stood to the side as News Reporters filmed the scene.

"We're here live at the location of the impromptu shrine for Paola Cortez, the young art student killed at the fashion show for artist/designer Benny Choi, who has been arrested for the killing,"

Olivia cleared her throat as she looked at the reporter in front of her. "Can we start, please?"

"Yes, ma'am," The reporter replied.

"Thank you. The mother...of Paola Cortez can rest a little easier tonight, knowing that her daughter's killer is behind bars. The arrest of Benny Choi and several of the Latin Kings membership is a reminder that my LAPD means justice for all,"

"You know, I'd love to make that woman cry for real," Lucifer said.

"She's gonna be chief of police because of you," Maya noted.

"I don't know how you do it," Chloe admitted to the duo.

"I simply made good on a favor," Lucifer claimed.

"Aren't you the little saint?"

Maya couldn't help the snort that came out, quickly covering it up by taking a sip of her coffee.

"Oh, no, no." Lucifer said "This time, I called in my IOU. Olivia got what she wanted, and I got what I wanted," he glanced down at Maya with a side glance.

"Oh, no," Chloe muttered.

"I am now an official civilian consultant for the LAPD. Not that there's anything civil about the Devil. What fun would that be?"

"Okay, then." Maya sighed "You win. We're partners?"

"What, you're not going to protest?"

Maya shook her head "Nope,"

"So does this mean you're gonna take me home and consummate our new arrangement, then, Smith?"

Maya bit her lip as she leaned towards him, only to brush away.

Chloe watched in shock as Maya got in the driver's seat of her car.

"I'll take that as a yes," Lucifer smiled as he followed only for Maya to lock the doors.

Chloe grinned finally realizing Maya's game.

"Seriously?" Lucifer asked. "What, you're just gonna leave me here? In this part of town?"

Maya looked over and saw Chloe wasn't paying attention, but rather to Olivia's press conference. She turned back towards Lucifer "You said you wanted a Winchester." Maya smirked "Come and get me," she winked as she drove off.

Lucifer was shocked but then grinned "Well...alright, then,"
