Back in the institute, Clary, Luke, Jace, Magnus, Marley and Alec were already in the Institute when Simon and Izzy entered. Simon came running through the Center. "Clary!" He embraced Clary in a hug. "Hey."

"Hi." Clary smiled at him.

"Hi." Simon pulled away. "Am I dreaming?"

"No."

"I'm not?"

"No."

Simon pulled Clary in for another hug. He realized Izzy wanted to speak to Clary, too so he pulled back. "Okay. Sorry, sorry."

Clary looked at Izzy "Hi."

"Hi." Izzy greeted her as then they hug for a moment. "Tell me where Jonathan is. I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch with my bare hands."

"You can't. None of us can." Jace sighed.

"Why?" Simon asked confused.

Clary showed her chest. "Lilith carved this rune into me, right before your mark blasted her back to Hell."

"The rune ties Clary's life force to Jonathan's." Alec added.

"Which isn't pleased." Marley sighed.

"Hurt one of them, you hurt the other in the exact same way." Luke finished.

Then, Alec turned on which shows footage of Jonathan in the antique shop in Paris with the words: 'Jonathan Morgenstern, wanted alive'. "Which is why I sent an alert out to the other Institutes. Jonathan must be captured alive."

"He was looking for a sword when he was in Paris. The Morning Star. If we can find it first, maybe we can track down Jonathan." Clary suggested.

Simon frowned. "Another magic sword?"

"He said it was some sort of family heirloom." Clary replied to him.

"I'll reach out to all the weapons masters to get intel." Izzy suggested.

"I'll draw all the ley line junctions in the city. If Jonathan moved the apartment, we'll find him." Magnus added.

"I help you, dad." Marley comment to her father.

Clary looked at them. "Thank you, all of you. I honestly don't know what I would do without you."

"That's what family's for, Fray." Simon smiled at her.

"All right, let's get to work." Alec ordered them.

Then, everyone spreads out. Clary and Jace stay behind to talk.

Magnus was doing some work on a computer. He's typing in something and pressing enter a couple of times continuously. "You know that's not gonna make it any better, right?" Izzy asked to him.

"I don't know how you work with these machines all day. I could use some magic and a drink right now." Magnus replied her.

"Well, dad..." Marley thought for a moment. I don't either." She sighed. "I want to go to my boy."

Then, Izzy waited for a moment before she asked for help. "Magnus, I was wondering if you could help me. I'm looking for a root that's native to L'Isle-Adam."

Magnus turned to Izzy. "Are you still having cravings?"

"We found a way to remove the Mark of Cain from Simon, but the process nearly killed him. So I made him feed on me." Izzy replied to him.

"Isabelle… That's really brave of you." Magnus comment, proudly.

"Would you happen to have any of that root?" Izzy asked to him.

Magnus shook with his head. "I don't. Without my magic, I can't Portal to France and dig some up for you. Perhaps I can ask another warlock to..."

"No, it's okay." She interrupted him. "You know, I'm actually feeling a lot better now."

"Hello, i help you." Marley comment to her.

"Have you ever been to France?" Izzy asked to her.

"No." Marley sighed.

"If you do portal, you can get lost on the way." Izzy told her, seriously.

"I know and we wouldn't want that." Marley nodded.

Then, Magnus interrupted them. "I should go find some traditional pen and paper to work with." He leaves.

Just then, Izzy looked at her wrist. It's shaking. She focused and held it still. Then a fire message flies into her hand. She read it as then Marley asked her. "Are you okay?"

"Yes." She nodded.

Later, Izzy was pacing. Her breath was shaky. Then, she went to the computer keyboard as Alec and Marley entered. "Dead end on the Morning Star case?"

"I'm still waiting to hear back from other weapons masters." Izzy replied.

Alec looked at the profile of the man on the screen. "How is Sentry Greenlaw helping?"

"There is something I need to tell you two." Izzy sat down at the desk, Alec sat down across from her. Next to him, sat Marley.

"You can tell us anything." Marley told her.

"Remember those rumors about the Downworld prisoners that were being tortured?" Izzy asked them.

"Yes." Marley nodded.

Alec nodded as well. "Yeah, the ones Consul Penhallow categorically denied."

"Well, I contacted the guards that escorted the Seelie knight back to Idris, and one of them replied." Izzy told them.

"Thomas Greenlaw?" Alec asked, surprised.

"He says he can tell me what's really going on at the Gard. And he wants to meet." Izzy replied to him.

"When?" Marley asked to her.

"Tonight." Izzy stood up. "I'm leaving now."

"I'm coming with you." Alec stated.

"Well, I can't." Marley told them. "I don't want Aiden to be with babysitter again."

"I understand." Izzy nodded.

Then, Alec went to her. "I will be back soon." He kissed her as then they leave.

Marley was with her son, Aiden. She sung him a lullaby and rocked him to sleep, she could smile, sing, look at her son, he was very special as all children were.

Rock-a-bye baby

On the tree tops,

When the wind blows

The cradle will rock.

When the bough breaks

The cradle will fall,

And down will come baby

Cradle and all.

When he was asleep, she put him in the bed. Then she looked if the baby monitor was doing well, it did. She pulled the light switch off and went to her own bed room, she was fast asleep as well and not when hearing that Alec came beside her.
