Summary: Jace Wayland was recruited into the Shadowhunter Law Enforcement. Clary Fray and Eliza Williams are escaped convicts, the very ones Jace, along with his partner Alec Lightwood, are hunting. They need to catch the girls before they kill the remainder of Shadowhunters on the list.
Jace & Alec
"Finally!" Jace Wayland exclaimed. He spun in his chair a few times while his best friend and partner, Alec Lightwood, waited patiently for him to pay attention.
"Jace! Listen, would you?" Jace stopped spinning, a smirk on his face. "Do you want the details on the case?" Jace nodded. Jace and Alec had been recruited into the Shadowhunter Law Enforcement six months ago. The two of them had yet to complete a case outside the office. As much as Jace had threatened, bargained and even – once – begged, their chief, Valentine Morgenstern, had insisted that they weren't ready. Now, finally, he had given them their very first case.
"Okay. So, we're looking for two 19 year old girls. One is named Clarissa Fairchild, but she goes by Clary Fray. She's murdered three seemingly unrelated people. Hodge Starkweather, Lucian Graymark, and, well . . . her mother." Jace cried out suddenly. "What?" asked Alec in concern, tearing his eyes off the information page he'd been given. Jace looked up.
"Sorry, I just stapled my finger to this paper," he said. Alec rolled his eyes. Jace was such a child.
"Anyways," Alec continued, "the other girl is basically her side kick. The name she uses is Eliza Williams. It says that her real name is unknown."
"What do they look like?" Jace asked.
"We could only get one picture. It was from a student film. They were walking in the background. Move over," Alec shoved Jace's chair away and stooped over his keyboard. He typed in a couple of words, a password and Voila! He fast-forwarded the video until about fifteen minutes in. He stopped it and let a skinny, pimple faced teenager talk for a couple seconds before pausing it. "See?" Alec pointed to two blurry figures.
Jace took over the mouse and zoomed in. He could see one was definitely shorter, with straight blond hair and sunglasses. The other had chocolate curls and icy blue eyes. Jace snorted. "Funny. I wouldn't have pegged her for a blond."
"Clarissa? I know. But we don't know if that's her real hair color. Same with the other girl, Eliza. But you can easily tell them apart, which is good for us." Jace nodded. There was something familiar about Eliza, but he couldn't quite figure it out.
"Listen, Jace, we leave later this afternoon."
"So?"
"So . . . we're kind of going to Canada."
"What?" Jace's voice was cold.
"C-a-n-a-d-a. Canada. Right above the U.S.A."
"Thanks, Captain Obvious. I meant why are we going?"
"Are you stupid? We are going to Canada to capture Clarissa and Eliza. They are our first case. Be ready to go by five, 'kay?" Alec left before Jace could protest.
Clarissa & Eliza
"I'm starving," Eliza complained. Clary let out an exasperated sigh.
"Suck it up, princess," she told her harshly. "Listen, we'll get food tomorrow."
Clary was starving, too. But she didn't show it. The two girls were currently in a hotel room, waiting anxiously until the next morning when they would strike again. Clary had checked in under another name, as per usual. She'd gotten used to the lying, the planning, the disguises.
She watched Eliza remove her brown wig and shake out her shiny, jet-black hair. She also took out her colored contacts and put them in their case. Clary shook out her blond hair. She'd died it before she'd started the killing streak, and was starting to get used to herself as a blond.
"Clary, I don't know about this. I mean, my parents are coming up on the list, and I don't think I can kill them." Clary walked over to her friend and ally.
"Listen, Eliza –"
"Stop calling me that!" she said sharply. "My name is Isabelle Lightwood. Not Eliza Williams. I'll use that stupid name outside, but not when no one else is listening." Clary raised her hands in surrender.
"Sorry, Isabelle. I'm just a little . . ."
"Paranoid?" she interjected. Clary glared at Isabelle, who smiled sweetly.
"Only a few more kills, then we'll be done and no one will ever know who did it," Clary assured her. Isabelle regarded The List.
"Only a few more," she repeated softly.
Jace & Alec
"I cannot believe I'm in Canada!" Jace exclaimed.
"Oh, get over it!" Alec said, agitatedly. Jace had been going on and on and on about how he was tortured by going to Canada. As they left the Vancouver airport, Jace stopped dead in his tracks.
"They don't live in igloos?" he asked incredulously. Alec looked at him in disbelief.
"Did you pay attention in Geography. At all? Ever?"
"That class was where I got most of my sleep," Jace replied. "Well, this is much better than I thought. A real city. Those girls are smart, leaving New York. Do you think they'll go back?
"I dunno, maybe. But hopefully we'll catch them before then."
"We will. They don't stand a chance," Jace said confidently.
Clary & Isabelle
"No one will ever catch us. They don't stand a chance," Clary told Isabelle.
