Jace's P.O.V.-

"Last night was interesting." Luke said to his team. Jace couldn't help but agree. Jordan and Maia were acting all couply this morning and after their escapade last night, he could only imagine what they had done. Luke had called them all at 5:30 and told them to be at Taki's by 6:00, so they could finish what they had started the night before.

"Alec, Magnus said, will you tell us what you were last night?"

"Yeah. We were going to go into Pandemonium and bid on Isabelle and another girl and talk to them. Jace realized something. They never called them anything, but 'the girls'. He looked at Luke, who was nodding. "You two, he said, pointing to Jace and Alec, are going in tonight." The table erupted in chatter. "Luke, Jordan said, you can't send them in already. It's too soon."

"Two years it too soon? Jordan, tell me two years is too soon when life isn't so damn short." He looked out the window and his phone rang. Luke picked it up. "Yes, Jocelyn. Okay, give me an hour. I'll be home. Yes, okay, love you too, goodbye." Jace chuckled. Jocelyn was Luke's wife. "Like I was saying, Luke said, you're going in tonight."

"Okay, fine, but what do we ask them? How do we tell them what we're doing without getting ratted out by them?" Alec asked.

"Ask them how they got there. If they are forced to do anything than what we know about. Ask if they are mistreated or abused. And before you tell them anything make sure you know they aren't loyal to the owner." Luke replied. Jace chose that moment to talk.

"What makes you think that they're loyal?"

"I don't know that they're loyal or not. For all I know they could have developed Stockholm's Syndrome or something." Luke said.

Jace leaned back in his seat, a sigh escaping his lips. Maia smirked. "What girls are you going to talk to?" She asked. Jace and Alec turned towards each other and had one of those silent conversations that only people incredibly close can seem to have. Jace nodded at Alec and turned back to face everyone else. "Alec will talk to Isabelle and I will talk to the short red-head." He said.

"Small red-head?" Magnus asked, raising a sparkly eyebrow. Jace couldn't even answer the question. He had focused too much on Magnus's shirt. Magnus was wearing a neon blue shirt with bedazzled sleeves and pockets. That wasn't the bad thing though. The shirt had a picture of Jace and Alec, with the caption 'YOU CAN DO IT BOYS!' in bright green and pink lettering. "Do you like it?" Magnus asked. "I made it last night." Alec looked over and his eyes bugged out. The other three busted out in hysterics.

Luke was the first to calm down, as always. "Okay, okay, okay. Hey ADD applicants! Calm yourselves, you're acting like 12 year olds. Stop. Stop!" Luke said, his voice growing serious. They all tried to stop. Their voices were stilled, but their bodies were still racked with silent tremors. Luke started to talk again. "You will both do what you have been told to. No more. No less. Understood?" They both nodded at him.

Luke stood up and threw a signed check on the table. "Put your breakfast tab on that. I have to go home." There was a chorus of goodbyes. After Luke left they all sat in awkward silence for a moment. "What do we do if someone outbids us?" Alec asked, in a conversational manner.

"If someone outbid us they'd have to be one rich son-of-a-bitch." Jace said, smirking. Jace got a waitress to come over and take their order. An older woman with dark brown hair with silver streaks and green eyes came over. "What would you like?" She asked. They all ordered different things. Jace ordered pancakes, just to annoy Alec. When the waitress walked away Alec punched Jace in the arm. "Asshole." He muttered.

"I heard that!" Jace said, in a singsong voice.

"You were meant to!" Alec said, mimicking Jace's tone.

"Is there something that I'm missing here?" Magnus asked.

"Besides fashion sense, nothing. Alec just doesn't like me getting pancakes!" Jace said.

"My fashion sense is amazing and I have more of it than you four combined and multiplied by 1,000,000,000." Magnus said dramatically.

Maia and Jordan were acting all cuddly again. Soon the waitress came back with their food. Jordan and Maia were kissing and giggling and laughing again. Jace and Magnus chose the same moment to speak. "What kind of sex did you two have last night?" Jace asked, while Magnus said "You two are too perfect for each other!" Maia blushed bright red and Jordan and Alec face palmed. They all continued to joke around until they were all finished with their breakfast. "Can we get a bill over here?!" Jace shouted. The older woman started to walk over, but a girl with black hair stopped her and walked over to their table. She gave Jace the bill and a phone number. He looked at her and smiled, he took the bill and gave her back the number. "Not a chance sweetheart." He said. Alec raised his eyebrows at Jace, but Jace just shrugged. His mind was filled with red and green.

Alec P.O.V-

Alec was not a morning person. So Luke calling early morning meetings didn't sit well with him. He was overjoyed when they got to go home. Jace and he walked outside and got in Jace's car. He didn't think that they would be putting the plan into action this soon, but in less than half an hour they had everything planned and ready to go.

"Do you think that Izzy will remember me?" Alec asked.

"Well, you were her favorite brother. I mean she hated me half the time and she ran away before Max turned 3." Jace said, starting the car. Alec sighed.

"But she was so crazed when we saw her last and it was almost 7 years ago."

"I think that she will remember you just fine." Jace said his expression softening. Alec just nodded. He was caught up in his own thoughts, he was scared for his sister and the other girls who were trapped there with her. He was worried that somehow things would get messed up. What if that girl isn't Isabelle. Maybe she's just a girl who looks remarkably similar to her. Okay, that's highly unlikely. He thought. He shook his head. The worry was making him delusional.

"Are you getting out of the car?" Jace asked, trying not to laugh.

"What? Oh… yeah." Alec said, getting out and walking up the steps to their mansion. Their parents were the ones who paid for everything. They were insanely rich. Their parents were C.E.O.'s of four major corporations. Their mom owned Aeropostale and their dad co-owned Ferrari car company with some Italian guy. A few years ago their parents had bought them this house and let them move out of the house they lived in with Max. Their parents weren't just rich. They were powerful.

When they walked inside the cleaning lady, Anna, was there, shooting lustful glances at Jace. She was only a year older than them and Alec was positive Jace had used her, not giving consideration to how she might feel about it. Jace smiled at her and Alec glared at him, mumbling under his breath. Jace needed a girlfriend. He needed to stop having one night stands with every pretty girl he saw.

Jace walked to the kitchen and Alec followed.

"Jace, I swear if you mess up I will hide under your bed and slit your throat while you sleep." Alec threatened.

"That's a confidence booster." Jace said.

"I'm being serious."

"So am I. I'm just worried one of us will screw up somehow or that Iz won't remember me."

Jace laughed. "Alec, you need to get over yourself."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Alec asked indignantly.

"You always get pissy when you're tired." Jace inquired.

"Don't change the subject!"

"You should go to bed."

"Stop trying to change the subject!"

"No I'm serious. We're going to have a late night, go to bed." Alec walked up the stairs and heard Jace say something about not being a little girl about the whole thing. Alec just walked to his room and sprawled out on his big bed. He turned on his T.V. and put on Hannibal. He put his face in his hands. He was worried Jace would say or do something to throw off everything they had worked on the last two years. Jace hid things and used women to get through them. However he didn't go out last night. He had gone straight to bed.

Alec turned and looked at the clock. It was only 7:30. He got up and opened his door. "WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR 14 HOURS?!" He yelled out into the house. He waited for a response. "SLEEP!" is what he heard. "FOR 14 FUCKING HOURS?"

"I don't know! Do something. Do someone, for all I care!" Magnus's face flashed across Alec's mind and he blushed bright red. He shut the door and changed into sweats. He liked Magnus, but only a few people knew about him. He went back to his bed and did fall asleep.


Alec woke up and 5. Did I really sleep that long? Alec thought. He walked downstairs to find Jace. When he found him he was flirting with Anna again.

Alec walked past Jace and grabbed the back of his shirt, dragging him down the hall to the library. "Hey, Hey, stop it! What?" Jace said. When they got to the library Alec started to chastise him. "You should stop leading her on. It's clear you don't actually care about her!" Alec said. Jace raised an eyebrow. "You like her."

"I don't like Anna, I just care about what other people might be feeling at the expense of my reckless brother."

Hurt flashed across Jace's features, but he asked again. "So you do like her?"

"No, Jace, I do not like the slut we call a cleaning lady!" Jace held his hands up in surrender. Alec changed the subject, eager to get rid of Jace's accusing glances. "I think that we should go a little bit early to the club tonight."

"Okay, why?"

"Just to be safe."

"You're probably right."


Standing in front of Pandemonium Alec realized just how nervous he actually was. He looked over at Jace. "You ready?" He asked.

Jace looked at him. "Alec, Jace said, I was born ready." Alec pushed open the doors and walked in, Jace on his heels.

Alec was searching through the crowd for Jace. When he found him he about screamed. "Jace, someone outbid me at last minute. He signed the paper as they were taking them away. What do I do?"

"Go home I guess. I'll call you when I need a ride. I don't know what else to do." Alec walked out of the door thinking, Oh, my God. Isabelle.


Again I know it's short. I will make the next chapter extra long, I promise! PLEASE REVIEW, it makes me happy!
