"Come on, Alec," I shouted. "If we don't leave now, we'll miss our shot!"
Alec ran to the Institute doors,fiddling with the straps of his quiver as he came. "I'm here, I'm here. Where's Izzy?"
"Gone on ahead, she said, and I quote 'I'm not going to miss my shot at a Shapeshifter because my brother is a lazy...'"
"You let her go alone?" Alec asked incredulously.
"Let? Really, Alec?" I say. "Do you think anyone can stop Isabel from doing what she wants when she sets her sights on something?"
Alec shook his head with a rueful smile. "No, you're right. Let's go!"
Using swiftness runes, we made it to Pandemonium in record time. Izzy was waiting for us.
"Hey, boys. What kept you? Never mind. This is what we're looking for." Isabel showed us a picture on her phone. It looked like an ordinary teenage boy.
"Okay," I said with a nod. "Let's do this."
The three of us took out our Steles and clamoured ourselves so that the Mundanes couldn't see us, and then walked purposefully towards the entrance of the club.
As usual I made a mental note of my surroundings. There were a few dozen people queuing outside the club and a small group stood near a van as one of them sprayed a tag on the side.
All of a sudden, the artist took a step back causing me to nudge them in the shoulder.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" A female voice called.
I turned, shocked. "What?"
"I said, watch where you're going!"
I stood there, stunned.
"You can see me?"
