Chapter 21

As she walked into Lucifer’s office, Polly wondered why she'd been so lax as to let the djinn sit in the cell alone while she went to deal with Bis. She made sure he had been securely strapped to a chair when she left, and nobody but high level demons were able to enter the torture cells, but she was still angry with herself. There was no getting around the fact that someone on the inside had to have helped him.

Polly wished she had time to figure out who had done this. Lucy was going to have questions she couldn't answer, and that made her uneasy. She didn't like not knowing what was going on. She really didn't like that someone was able to get in and kill the djinn on her watch. It made her feel incompetent, and that was not a feeling Polly dealt with very well. With rage burning through her, she stepped into the hall that led to Lucy's office.

She knocked on the door and heard a gruff, "Enter."

"Lucy, I got some information from a djinn prisoner that I found rather interesting."

"No ‘How are you doing' or ‘Nice to see you'? You just jump right into business without greeting me properly? Maybe you'd better go out and try this again." The tone in Lucifer's voice let Polly know she wasn't messing around.

"Um, okay." Polly stepped back out into the hall and knocked again, a bit taken aback at Lucy's reaction. She'd had never been one for small talk and neither had Lucifer.

"Enter."

Polly stepped into the office and said, "How are you doing, Lucy?"

"Oh, I'm peachy. How are you?"

"I'm having a bad day," Polly said, confused at Lucifer's behavior. The Lucy she knew was cool as a cucumber.

"I'm so sorry to hear that. Is there something I can do to help? No, of course there isn't, because you don't need my help. You don't need anyone's help."

"Lucy, are you okay?" Her words seemed to snap Lucifer out of the mood she'd been in, and it was as if an entirely different being stood before her than had a moment before.

"Yeah, I'm fine. What do you have for me?"

"Well, I still have no clue how the djinn escaped, but I do know that they're helping a charlatan run some religious sect called the Children of Light. I also heard from the prisoner I just extracted information from that the djinn are referring to this charlatan as the Messiah. There's something else troubling me."

"Really? Something more than allowing prisoners to escape by the hundreds and some crazy motherfucker thinking he's the new Jesus? Please, tell me, what else is troubling you?" The sarcasm in Lucifer's voice cut Polly to the quick. Not that she was undeserving of the tone, given she had allowed mass escapees and had no clue how to stop more from happening.

"Someone killed my prisoner. I left him chained to the hot seat in my locked cell for a few minutes. I had to talk to Bis and see if he'd found out anything.
