A New Mystery

Luna's progress was remarkable. After weeks of dedicated treatments, she could now stand on her own legs, albeit with some difficulty. Though walking was still a challenge, this milestone filled her heart with hope. The fear she once harbored about facing the world and her past seemed to melt away, replaced by a newfound confidence.

Lucifer couldn't help but beam with pride every time he saw her take another step—both physically and emotionally—toward recovery. Her courage and determination were infectious, and he often found himself more motivated than ever to stay by her side.

One sunny afternoon, Luna attended another routine hospital appointment. As usual, Lucifer accompanied her, keeping a watchful eye on her as she interacted with the doctors and staff. Everything seemed normal, but as they left the hospital and headed home, a sense of unease crept over Lucifer.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed someone—a woman—lingering near the hospital entrance. At first, he thought it was a coincidence, but as their car drove off, he spotted the same figure following them in a cab. His protective instincts kicked in immediately.

He stayed quiet about it during their ride home, not wanting to alarm Luna. But his sharp gaze caught every detail: the woman’s nondescript clothes, her attempt to stay inconspicuous, and her unwavering focus on Luna.

By the time they reached the house and the tailing had stopped, Lucifer couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Who was this woman? Why was she following Luna? And what could she possibly want?

That evening, Lucifer met with William and Kyle to discuss his concerns. The trio gathered in a quiet corner of a café, their expressions serious.

“So, let me get this straight,” Kyle began, leaning forward. “You’re saying some woman has been following Luna? From the hospital to her house?”

Lucifer nodded. “Yes. She was careful, but not careful enough. I spotted her a few times, and she didn’t look like someone just passing by. It was intentional.”

William frowned. “That’s strange. Do you think it could be someone from her past? Or... something else?”

“I don’t know,” Lucifer admitted, frustration evident in his tone. “But I’m not taking any chances. Luna’s been through enough already.”

Kyle exchanged a glance with William before speaking. “Alright, then. We’re in. If someone’s after her, we’ll figure out who and why.”

“Agreed,” William said firmly. “Luna’s become like family to us. We won’t let anyone hurt her.”

Thus, their self-proclaimed “Sherlock Holmes” quest began. The trio decided to investigate discreetly, ensuring Luna remained unaware of the situation for now. They divided tasks: William would dig into hospital security footage to identify the woman, Kyle would comb through potential connections to Luna’s past, and Lucifer would remain vigilant while continuing to guard Luna closely.

As the three plotted their next steps, they couldn’t help but share a rare moment of humor.

“Let’s hope we don’t end up looking like clumsy detectives from some old comedy,” Kyle joked.

“Speak for yourself,” William quipped. “You’re the one who tripped over a coffee table during our last ‘investigation.’”

Lucifer chuckled, but his resolve remained strong. Whoever this mysterious woman was, she had unknowingly drawn the attention of three determined men who wouldn’t rest until they uncovered the truth.
