I leaned against the wall of the Sanctuary tapping my foot impatiently. I wanted nothing more than to be back upstairs with Izzy. While my Parabatai had promised not to keel over and die in the five minutes I was gone, Jace had offered to stay by her side for me.

I checked my phone and found it had only been thirty seconds since I had last checked it. We only expected the Institute to be empty for the next hour or so, Robert and Max would be returning soon. The Head of the Institute had taken Max to go to the comic book store, something he didn't normally do. Perhaps it was because of Max's constant presence next to Izzy when she woke up. Maryse had gone with Thalia to Idris to settle her in and was expected back in the morning. Ashton was elsewhere; I hadn't seen him all day. And Alec had left to presumably see Magnus after Izzy woke up.

It was a rare occurrence we had the entire place to ourselves and we'd be using that to our advantage tonight.

After what seemed like forever, but was only a minute later, the door of the Sanctuary creaked open and in stepped Simon. I was glad to see that he wasn't even a little bit singed.

"Do you have it?" I questioned. It was a dumb question, he had texted saying he was bringing it.

Simon nodded and pulled out a small black flash drive from his pocket placing it in my hand. "Is Izzy...?"

"She's fine," I told him.

"That's what she texted, but is she really? All you Nephilim are the same, playing it off as 'fine' when you're really hurt."

"She'll be fine," I said instead. Of course, she still needed to heal. "The Silent Brother said it should heal good as new."

I saw Simon clench his fist. "I should have done something-"

"Simon, there was nothing you could do. The sun was already at its peak, you'd have burned to a crisp and I don't think Izzy would have liked that."

"I want to personally put that psycho in the ground," Simon said. "Next move you make, let me know." With that he was off with vampire speed.

I sighed turning the flash-drive over in my hand. We finally had the proof we needed.

As I made my way back up to the infirmary I grabbed Izzy's laptop on the way. As much as the Institute was technology bare, Izzy had still managed to weasel everyone into getting a cell phone and a couple computers for the place.

"What did Alec say?" I asked Jace as I entered the infirmary. I had asked him to call Alec, he should be here when we do this.

"He didn't answer." Jace shrugged. "He's probably with Magnus, I just texted him."

"How was Simon?" Izzy questioned.

"Worried," I told her. "You should call him. He didn't believe you were fine."

"I will later," she said. "Now lets see this thing."

I plugged the flash drive into the laptop and waited for it to load. Technology was still a foreign concept to me, but Izzy was teaching me.

A video popped up and as I clicked play I saw our first real piece of evidence of Jonathan Wayland. It started moments after the crash when we were dragging ourselves out of the car. It ended abruptly as Jonathan sent me flying for the final time. That was when it became noon.

"When my dad gets back we show him this," Izzy said. "Then all of the Clave can hunt for Jonathan."

"It also proves Sebastian innocence," I pointed out. "That Jonathan had kidnapped him."

"It's a win-win for us," Izzy concluded. "The clave can get Jonathan and Sebastian will be free of all punishment."

Why did it seem too easy? I couldn't help but think we were still playing into Jonathan's hands and the only way I'd get Sebastian back was if I gave up myself in return.

"Save that as many places as possible," Jace told Izzy who had taken the laptop from me. "The last thing we want is for it to get deleted." As Izzy nodded Jace's obnoxious ringtone suddenly went off. "Finally, Alec-" His face suddenly went white as he was cut off.

"Jace?" I questioned. The blond made no indication that he heard me and continued listening to the phone. I didn't know who it was but it was definitely not Alec on the other side.

Finally, he set the phone down. "Jonathan has Alec." I heard Izzy gasp. "If we show anyone that video, he'll kill him." How did...of course. Jonathan knew the entire time we were recording him. Why else would he make proclamations? "He wants Clary and I to go to him tonight. If we don't show up he'll kill Alec and Sebastian both."

I stood up. "What time?"

"Now," Jace replied.

"No!" Izzy exclaimed. "Neither of you are going! We've already seen how much of a psychopath Jonathan is. What's stopping him from killing the whole lot of you?"

"We have to go, Izzy," Jace said. "He's going to kill Alec and Sebastian. I'm sorry but I'm not risking my parabatai's life."

"And neither am I! Clary, you're not going!" I could see how torn she was. She wanted us to save my brother and hers but she didn't want to lose Jace or I.

"I'm sorry, Izzy," I said and my Parabatai started to object but I had already pulled my stele out and was etching the rune into her arm. As I finished Izzy fell asleep. I doubted this was what the 'sleep now' rune was meant for but it was necessary.

I stared at Izzy for a moment. "I'll be back," I promised her. "I'm not going to die tonight. If Jonathan takes me, you'll find me, I know you will." I stepped back and looked at Jace. "Let's go."

Author's Note: I'm sorry, I feel like all I do in these notes is apoligize for not updating sooner. I've been really swamped with moving apartments and starting back for a new quarter at university and then midterms happened and gahhh. Anyway, here's a new chapter for you! I hope you enjoyed it! Things are winding down...Don't forget to comment! I love hearing what you have to say!
