"I see..." Miranda nodded, taking a moment to think before continuing, "However, words alone won't solve any case here. You must provide us with strong evidence that confirms the activities you claimed were your only focus that night."
Jessica's face turned pale as a ghost, and she spoke in a hurried tone, "Chief Miranda. What are you talking about? Evidence? Didn't you say we are not going to record anything and keep all of this private? How can we provide such evidence?"
At that, Miranda smiled and puffed smoke before speaking, "Who said anything about recording?" She turned her eyes on Lucifer, her lips curling into a devious smirk. "But yes, I need evidence to see with my own eyes if what both of you say is the truth."
"What are you suggesting, Chief Miranda?" Jessica asked.
"You don't expect us to have sex in front of you to prove our words, do you?" Lucifer chimed in, amused by the whole situation and unable to hold back his curiosity and humor.
But Jessica was mortified. She couldn't believe what Lucifer was suggesting. Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and she quickly looked at Chief Miranda, expecting her to scold him for even thinking of such a thing.
Chief Miranda chuckled at that, her eyes glinting with amusement before she shook her head, "You are getting ahead of yourself, Mr. Reynolds." Then she turned to Jessica, who was still blushing and fidgeting awkwardly. "And you, Mrs. Jones, are turning into a tomato with embarrassment." Saying that, she walked over to Jessica, stopping right in front of her and looking her straight in the eyes before she spoke again. "So, I think the best way to prove this is for both of you to kiss."
That made Jessica sigh out of relief, and her posture relaxed a little, but before she could say anything, Lucifer chuckled and interjected.
"Kiss? That's all?" he asked, sounding disappointed and unsatisfied. "But we will do even that if it pleases you, Chief."
"First, let's get one thing clear, Mr. Reynolds. None of this pleases me. I am doing my job here and nothing else. Now, if you both are willing to do that, then proceed," Miranda stated. "And one more thing: just a mere peck on the lips will not do. The kiss must be passionate and intimate. A kiss that two people in love would share."
After a short moment of silence, Jessica looked at Miranda with a hesitant expression on her face. "Does that mean that you are done with us and we can leave?"
"Of course. I have already taken too much of your valuable time," Miranda nodded.
But Lucifer didn't move, and instead he took out his phone, opened the dialer, and put the phone on the table in front of Miranda while looking in her eyes.
Miranda arched an eyebrow in a questioning manner before realizing that she needed to enter her contact information.
"Do you want to be charged with a harassment case, Mr. Reynolds?"
"Hey, I didn't say or do anything that can be used for harassment charges," he said, flashing a cocky grin.
"Do you think it's funny, boy?"
"Not at all, Officer Hayes," Lucifer replied, feigning shock and hurt. "I am just trying to make it easy for you to get in touch with me, in case you need me later on."
After a while, with a sly smile on her face, Miranda took the phone and entered her number before returning it to him.
"Here you go. And I have a feeling that you are going to get yourself into some kind of trouble soon," she added in a playful tone.
