Jordan P.O.V.-
Magnus, Jordan, Maia, and S.W.A.T. were waiting outside of Pandemonium. Maia and Magnus were separated from everybody talking in hush tones. Luke hadn't shown up, and he wasn't picking up his phone. Jordan looked at the road blocks again. The whole road had been blocked off and all the shops had been closed down. Jordan was surprised that no one had come out of Pandemonium, but if you thought about it, there were no windows and no one had turned on their lights or sirens.
Luke's car finally pulled around the blocks. Luke climbed out and then another figure came out. "Jonathan?" Jordan muttered to himself. "You know what, I don't care."
Luke walked to Jordan. "You're the person of authority here." Jordan said. Luke walked to the group of S.W.A.T. and Jordan turned to Jonathan.
"You might as well not hang back, Jon, you're here." Jonathan slowly walked towards Jordan.
"Do you think that this will work?" Jonathan asked. Jordan didn't know whether to lie or to be honest, because honestly, he didn't know.
"Jonathan, there are so many things that could go wrong, but it could be so easy to do this cleanly. If we get everything right, we get five girls who had their lives taken from them, we crash a drug empire, and the whole thing has potential to go up in flames."
"I was hoping you would reassure me." Jonathan admitted. Jordan smiled and shook his head. Luke called everyone into a group and started giving out orders. In a few minutes everyone was ready to go in.
Earlier, they had gotten the layout of the club, so Luke had different groups spreading themselves through different halls and levels of the building. Luke was leading a group of men into the left wing on the bottom level. Jonathan, Jordan, and a few cops were going to cover the second level, because it was small enough for a few people to look it over. The rest of the people were going to branch out over the rest of the building.
Luke had one of the cops unlock the door and they filed into the building. Jordan muttered curses under his breath before going in the door.
Clary P.O.V.-
Clary sat up and realized that Isabelle had been sitting on the bed.
"Did you watch me sleep?" Clary asked rubbing her eyes, groggily.
"Yes and no." Isabelle said. Clary laughed.
"We should go see Aline and Helen." Clary suggested.
They both walked out of the door and into Aline's room. Aline was lying on the bed; her olive skin was ashy. Helen sat by Aline, her brow furrowed.
Isabelle looked at the scene sadly. "Aline?" She asked softly. Aline muttered something. Clary couldn't take this anymore. She was fucking sick and tired of being stuck up here. There was no explanation as to why they were all here. She was done with it. She stormed out of the room and into her room. She dropped to the floor and started to cry. Everything inside of her broke. Nothing was okay. Her friends weren't okay, she wasn't okay. Nothing was fucking OKAY. She was sobbing, big, ugly sobs that made her whole body rock.
She pulled herself together and wiped her eyes. She took a shuddering breath, and stood up. Clary stood up and started to walk towards the door. She got half way across the room when the door opened. She figured it was Izzy coming into the room again so she didn't move, but when the door was open, it was two men. She looked at them. When Clary recognized one of them, she backed up against the wall. "No, no, no." She murmured. Memories came crashing back to her and she started to dry heave. Jonathan ran to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't touch me!" She screamed. "Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Get away from me!" She started to sob again.
"Don't… touch… me." He pulled away from her.
"I'm sorry, Clare. I'm so sorry."
Clary refused to believe he was here. She started to hyperventilate and completely freak out. She couldn't get breaths, and she was trying too hard to get air into her lungs. She felt dizzy. She heard someone say something about a panic attack. Then she heard Izzy talking loud and angrily. Everything seemed disconnected; like she was there physically, but not mentally. When she finally calmed down, Jonathan had moved away from her. There was a large man holding Aline in his arms. Kaelie and Izzy were asking a lot of questions, and Helen was pacing and smiling at the same time.
Clary stood up and walked to Isabelle, her legs felt weak. She was skirting the edges of the room, trying to stay as far away from Jonathan as she possibly could. There was a young man with dark hair and hazel eyes talking to Izzy and Kaelie.
"What's going on? What is Emil doing to us?" Clary asked.
"We're here to get you out. This isn't ordered by Emil." The boy said. "I'm Jordan."
"Clary." She introduced herself, leaning against Izzy.
"We need to get out of here quickly." Jordan said. The men started filing the girls out. Clary didn't believe this either. Kaelie started crying, softly. It was so quiet you could hardly hear it, but tears streaked her face. Isabelle just looked ahead. Clary had imagined this moment so many times before, but never like this. Not with Jonathan. Not with Aline having to be carried. Not. Like. This.
Jonathan walked up to her and opened his mouth. "I can…." He started
She cut him off. "Don't talk to me."
"But…"
"Maybe someday I can talk to you, but not now. Maybe not ever." She said.
Jace P.O.V.-
The door to the storage room opened. Jace and Alec looked up at the same time. A large amount of men rushed into the room. Luke came in the back. Jace and Alec both exclaimed when they saw him.
"Be quiet!" Luke hissed. He started working on the knots on their wrists. When Jace stood up, his legs were a bit weak from not being in use for so long. Alec stood up and stumbled.
"We don't even know if anyone else is in the building anymore." Alec said.
"We've got it covered." Luke said. He ushered them out of the room as the rest of them men started moving into different hallways.
"It's like a maze." Jace heard Luke mutter. Luke led the two of them outside.
"Shouldn't there be more people from here? Is Emil not here?" Alec asked.
"That's why they're all in there." Luke said.
Jace was relieved, then he remembered the girls. "Are the girls here? Are they safe?" He asked frantically.
"We are working on it, Jace!" Luke barked. Jace hated when Luke got so into something he turned emotionless. Luke was usually so easy going, it was frustrating to see him like this.
Two men came out, Aaron between them. "I do not need to be escorted, dammit!" He protested. One of the men holding him said. "This is the only person we could find on the lower level and he keeps telling us he doesn't know where everyone went."
"Let him go." Jace said. "He helped us, and he's probably no lying."
The man turned to him. He glared at Jace. Probably upset I stole his thunder by telling him he didn't catch the bad guy. Jace thought.
"How could a whole building go empty without him noticing?" The man asked spitefully.
"Dusty, calm down and let him go." Luke ordered. Aaron brushed himself off.
"I don't know where they went, because I was trying to take care of my family." Aaron said.
Jace was going to ask what Aaron had done, when all of the girls came out surrounded by men. One of them was carrying Aline. Kaelie's eyes were puffy. Helen was pale. Clary looked lost and Izzy looked upset. She saw Alec and Jace and she lit up. She ran over to them and wrapped her arms around the both of them. She was crying.
"It's okay now Izzy." Alec whispered.
Clary was hugging Luke, and Jon was hanging back. The rest of the men came out of the club with no guards and no Emil. Maia and Jordan stood together, Magnus was watching the whole thing.
Jace was thinking one thing that would make this situation better: Knowing where Emil was.
yes, it was bad, but I actually updated. You should review. You can even tell me if you didn't like it.
