Clary POV

"I don't know what to do!" Izzy complains, frustrated. "Jace do you think you and Alec could do the Parabatai tracking?" It has been a day since we discovered Simon missing. I portaled to the Institute in Chicago and they said that Simon hadn't filed the reports, and they are looking out for him. They said that sometimes that the mundane does go off, and it is hard to find them later, so the recruiter follows them. I then explained the situation of people missing. They promise to check the Chicago area, but they wouldn't be able to do much outside of Chicago.

"Yeah, we're working on it. We are going to attempt a tracking rune tonight." Jace responds.

"Good." Izzy lets a sigh of relief. "God, I've been obsessing over this for the last twenty-four hours, but I just HOPE Simon's okay."

"He is," I say.

"You know that because- oh right of course." Izzy says giggling. "The Parabatai rune. I keep forgetting about that. It took me almost a year to get used to Alec and Jace."

Jace stands up. "Alec, let's do the rune now."

"Okay." He says, getting up. I throw Alec one of Simon's tee shirts. He catches it and Jace draws a Tracking rune on both of their arms. Jace clutches the shirt tightly. Alec puts his hand on top of Jace's. They both close their eyes. I can tell that they are both thinking about Simon, their best memory or simply thinking of his face. A minute or two later, the both break apart and gasp.

"I know where he is." Jace says.

"But it doesn't make sense. He was in Chicago." Alec says, a confused look on his face.

Izzy and I look at both boys, anxiously awaiting an answer.

"He's somehow in New Jersey." They say together.

"How?" Izzy questions. "Even if he did manage to get there, the only Shadowhunter that can make portals is sitting right in front of me. A warlock must've taken him through."

"I'm calling Simon." I say. I go out into the hall and dial his number.

"Hey it's Simon." he says.

"Simon, thank god!" I say, relieved.

"I'm probably really busy right now, so I will pick up as soon as I can. Just leave a voice message at the beep."

I decide to leave one. "Hey, it's Clary. Please let us know when you can call back. Izzy and I are frantic."

I walk back into the room. I meet Jace's eyes. "No response." I say. "I'm going to call it a night."

"Clary-" Jace starts.

"I'm going to search New Jersey tomorrow, and I need all of your guy's help." My eyes scan Jonathan, Jace, Alec, and come to rest on Izzy, knowing she wants this boy back as much as I do.

"I don't want to lose him." I whisper. "Especially if the other side took him."

I go to my room and get call it a night.

Simon POV

I stay out in New Jersey for a night in a Best Western Hotel. I turn on my phone, having it kept off for the day so no one could track me. I discover to have fifty texts from Izzy and Clary, thirty phone calls from the girls, and Jace and Alec as well. Magnus called twice, and Maia called four times. I also have a few voice mails. After listening to them, I decide to text Izzy.

Simon: Izzy?

Izzy: SIMON Thank Raziel.

Simon: Izzy, ur ok?

Izzy: where hav u ben?

Sorry for the shortness. I'm tired.
