New York Institute 2008

Hodge Starkweather the man known as the cursed fool. Once circle member now bound the the New York Institute, or that's what everyone thought. Hodge walked down the halls of the institute at the time of night everyone was asleep with folder filled with paper in his hand. Walking into his office he took his stele and walked over to the only piece of wall that held no picture. And drew a rune that made said wall fold into each other creating a space. Hodge held a tight grip on the folder as now where the wall was blank, shown a portal that was creating very strong winds. Before walking through he quickly made his way to his office door and placed the locking rune, over the door.

Glancing back at the portal, Hodge ran through. Grunt fell through his lips as he crashed to the floor.

"Do you have it?" Hodge glanced at speaker and got up. Handing the man the folder he waited. "So it's true Pangborn was right and Lucian is alive."

"Yes master." Hodge answered. Sounds of pages flipping filled the air.

"And he seems to be residing in New York." Hodge cleared his throat before answering.

" I believe I know why master." The flipping of pages stopped,telling Hodge the man was listening. "Seeing that Lucian Greymark is alive, I think master that he's searching for your wife."

"Is that so?" Hodge nodded.

"It makes sense." Hodge explained. "You know his obsession, his love for her." He paused at the hiss that came from the mans lips. "I'm sorry, but it's true. Lucian loves her, he always had. And if he believes her to be dead, he wouldn't be living and I don't mean in New York sir."

Hodge shaking as he watched the man dressed in a suit pace. Hodge was scared of the man, but loyal ever since he broke his curse bounding him to never step foot outside the institute. But it came with a price, turning on his fellow Shadowhunters, and the three children that looks up to him as not only as a friend but a parental figure, when Maryse and Robert are away on business.

"Then I want you to find her." The man stepped closer to him. "And I want to know everything about the back stabbing bitch." The man attention was taken from Hodge to the 13 year old that just walked into the room. "Daughter." He greeted.

Hodge watched as the young women just gave her father a cold look before walking away. And the girl father just smirked at her leaving form.

"Was that.." He was interrupted.

"Yes Hodge and speaking of my daughter there's something that I need you to do for me." Hodge knew that smirk of his was pure evil and felt bad for what ever plan was cooking in his masters mind.
