After deciding to burn his wings Lucifer Morningstar, has decided that this amounts to a virtual rebirth, so now he wants to celebrate this as his Birthday.
Detectives Decker and Espinoza come to Lux baring a Birthday present for the birthday boy, but its a somewhat peculiar gift in the shape of a jar, containing a greenish liquid. They all three drink from it and then, the detectives make a spurious work related excuse to leave Lux immediately.
Detective Decker has something of a 'Voodoo Curse' hanging over rather like the Sword of Damocles, namely the Palmetto Case, this hinged around a detective Malcolm Graham.
Detective Decker's handling of the Case has resulted in his family, and most of her colleagues considering her as a pariah.
Graham was shot and dangerously ill in the hospitals intensive care unit, the medical staff considered his as a terminal case, until he had a literally miraculous escape from death.
