I stretched my arms as I woke up from my fat nap. I walk all the way to the bathroom and examine my face carefully. The bags under my eyes were a shout for help. I smile though. God today feels like a blah day. I put dot of concealer on my face and put a light coat of mascara and Vaseline on my lips. I look at my hair and snort it looked. Messy, unruly even.

I slip out of my silk sleep wear and slip into a oversized tee shirt with bike shorts under. I pull on a pair of canvas slip ons. I accessorize with several gold rings. When I step out I check my surroundings I'm on high alert from my note. I touch the doorknob and the minute my door creaks open a gallon of water falls from the frame of the door.

"Look at the mess you're left with." Jace says with a smug look.

"I'll get you back." I laugh. When I laugh I swear I catch a glimpse of something on his face. I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Hey I never realized." He squints his eyes. I tilt my head to the side and eye him carefully.

"Realized what?"

"That you only have three runes and I recognized none of them."

"Oh yeah they kinda just carved them into me I guess it's our thing-." I shut my mouth knowing I said something to much.

"That's not a good thing clary. And carved? That's not acceptable in the clave. I should report that to maryse."

"No I meant with a stele not literally carved and why bother the institute is already dissolved to bits." He has this doubt in his head. I could tell he doesn't believe me once again.

"You know Clary like you said the institute isn't standing anymore so if something wasn't right you can tell me." His eyes are hard and protective. I felt something. God I hate feelings. My cheeks are red. Damnit.

"Yeah yeah of course." I smile brightly.

"I'll see you at breakfast hall red." With that he walks off. I'm still drenched I'm not wasting a dune on this I kneel and start wiping the ground with a towel.

"You messed up sis." Jonathan said from around the corner. I jump at the sound of his voice. "Also that kid admires you." He smiles. I roll my eyes.

"That's why he drenched me." I snort.

"I mean you did lock him into the dining hall." My mouth gapes open.

"How-."

"I know everything Clare bear just like how we are both attending the Florida mission." I hate to admit it but damn he was good.

"You're amazing." I blurt. "And I need to change can you wait outside my door?"

"Yeah I think so too." He snorts. The snorts must run in the family.

I walk into my room and put on a Black star spangled romper and chunky platform combat boots. Might as well look good since it wasn't in my best faith to be comfortable. I throw my soggy shoes and cloths to the side and step outside.

"I like this a lot."

"Me too brother of mine."

"Let's go and get you some coffee he offers his arm and I link it with mine. We walk down the hall and I smile. When we enter I pop in a earbud and listen to magic in the Hamptons by the social house. Music made this trip more tolerable. I grab a granola bar and black coffee. I see a bunch of filled tables. This was like the school I had to attend for one of my old missions. I hated it.

"Red! Come over here!" I see Jace call. I sigh and I mosey on over there. I scan the table and notice two empty spots. One next to vampy and one next to golden globe. "I don't bite I can't promise the same for vampy." Without saying anything I squeeze next to Jace.

"So what's up guys." I take a bite of my granola.

"I love your outfit and I was wondering about your hair color, is it real?" Isabelle Asked. "I've been meaning to ask you last night but I didn't think it was appropriate for the setting." She giggles.

"Yeah it's real." I laugh shyly.

"My name is Simon Lewis is a pleasure to meet you." He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Cute. So he's Izzy's boy they seem happy. Her head is resting on his head.

"Clary." I offer my hand and he takes it. After this short lived introduction everyone went on talk amongst themselves I should have just sat alone and gathered intel but Jace nudges me out of my thoughts.

"I guess you like to talk behind close doors I could arrange that." I snort and elbow him in the side.

"I'm just taking it," I pause so I could find the right word. "Steady?" He smiles and I smile back. It was just a contagious look on him. "Jonathan is the person who likes to chat."

"So are you I'm a analyst, which is one of my many talents in this institute, when ever you talk your eyes and breath give off you have a lot to say." Huh he is much better and smarter than I thought. Not just a pretty boy. God I'm acting like a girl dying to get noticed by her teenage crush. "Isabelle wasn't lying when she said you look good today." I blush there it is again. Emotions are going to be the death of me.

I down the last drop of my coffee and Jace seems occupied and I dump a bunch of salt into his freshly brewed coffee. I slowly get up. "I'm heading to my room Jace see you soon." I wink and he wiggles his brows like he did last night. He goes to take a huge gulp of his coffee and he spits it all over vampy- sorry Simon. I laugh audibly and walk away.

"That's classy Fray!" He called after me. I walk to my room proudly. I flop onto the bed and open my phone and call my father.

"Ah Clarissa I'm delighted to hear your voice. So where is your report."

"Hey Val so we have a shadowhunter his name is Jace Christopher lightwood or Herondale he said he swings both ways l. He is one of the strongest and he is gifted in many areas. Two I personally discovered was his stealth and he is a excellent analyst. I'm grabbing more intel as the minutes pass but I think you should really look into him." I say constantly looking out for anyone.

"Perfect clarissa you are doing amazing if you keep this up I'll make sure you get privileges when you get back home." He says and I crack a small smile.

"Bye-." He ended the call. I didn't expect much he's more of a business and done type of guy. I take a look at my hair it's pretty much dried. Runes are so convenient is that why we can't use them? Too much of a good thing turned bad who knows at this point. I lay on my bed staring at my ceiling. What is the true point of this mission? To grab intel.

"Meeting in the training room now princess." I bolt straight up and he smirks and rests on my door frame like he did the night before.

"You scared me out of my marbles."

"Marbles? I thought you were supposed to be some tough shadow hunters look at you scurrying at sounds- wait don't tell me you're scared of loud sounds."

"Stop it." I groan.

"Look at the big scary shadow hunter scared of-" I cut him off by throwing a dagger with it beautifully landing a centimeter next to his ear. He shrieks a girly scream and I loose it. I fall back onto the bed laughing maniacally

"So What was this meeting about dear." I bag my lashes while wiping the tears that fell from my eyes.

"Florida let's go red." He clears his throat. I hop out of bed with a huge smile he throws his arm over my shoulder and I weirdly don't have the urge to slip it off. That okay. It's nice to have a friend. No that's bad You can't do that to valentine you can't gain friends. Friends are distracting. I wonder how Jonathan is holding up. It's for the mission. Don't feel guilty Clary.

"I'm fond of you lemon head."

"I admire you Clary." Did he just- god Jonathan is one lucky bastard for being this good. I laugh. When I enter the room Jonathan's brows raise up eyeing the hand on my shoulder. He shot a glare to Jace. His protective nature can be, What's the word, intense sometimes.

"I have gathered you all to discuss the details of our on coming mission." Maryse was speaking I take a seat and Jace's arm still was on my body. It's making me question everything on how to sit.

"As much as I love you ma do we have any free days on this mission." Isabelle says smiling. Her mother breaks out of character.

"Isabelle dear it's a formal gathering but considering the lack of people I will excuse tge comment but if you must know it it the first day you arrive is for you but you have to be up the following day at 7am to meet at a unspecified location. The details of the unspecified location will be released tomorrow-."

"We are leaving tomorrow?" Alec clears his throat.

"Yes is that a problem to anyone?"

"Not at all miss." Jonathan replied and passed me a look. I rolled my eyes and threw my head back forgetting his arm was there. I bolt up and he turns his head to me. I never realized how close we were god I really want to draw him.

"Come to my room after this meeting." I whisper into his ear.

"Oh what are you thinking Clarissa?"

"Nothing." I giggle. "I'm drawing you like one of my French girls."
