Agents 003, 004 and 005.
Chapter 3: Furnishing
After the flight that seemed to last a lifetime, the agents set off from the airport, suitcases in tow. They hailed another taxi that took them to the centre of LA. The small apartment looked nice enough, yet there was an unfriendly vibe to the place. The newly painted walls obviously masked something pretty grotesque as there was a not so nice smell of metal and rust lingering in the lobby. The actual apartment itself looked like a hall way. Four doors came out of the main room, which had a fridge and stove but no sink. The 'living room' had a moulded old couch and moth eaten rug. The brown wallpaper was peeling and there was a funny smell to the room.
"Whoa... call this place a fixer upper." said Valerie, her eyes sweeping sceptically over the dusty apartment. "Looks like our first outing will be to buy some furniture."
"Probably" agreed Clary. Jace didn't answer, still staring at his phone. Valerie snapped her fingers in front of his face loudly and whistled.
"Earth to Goldielocks!" she said briskly. He looked up lazily, tucking his phone is his pocket.
"What was that, Snow White?" he said, his words were slow and steady compared to the rapid way Valerie spoke. Clary couldn't help but giggle slightly at the funny nicknames. Jace turned his head toward her slowly. "What are you laughing at Merida?" she smiled and he smirked back at her.
"Dump your stuff, we're going furniture shopping." Said Valerie as she strolled out the room nonchalantly.

Clary and Valerie finally finished decorating the living room. It wasn't special, a three seater sofa with a floor lamp and house plant standing either side. They had decided to paint the walls white (or rather, Clary had decided) with a mint green accent wall where the TV was attached and a pale wood coffee table that was already cluttered with books and coffee cups. A cheap gaming system was hooked up to the TV and a throw blanket was half on the floor, half on the sofa and mint green pillows over took the sofa. The kitchen was nothing special, the crappy appliances where still there but the cabinets were nice and overhead shelves stacked with various things.
