He was tired of waiting; it was all he seemed to do these days. Wait for his useless circle members to return with news of their failures. They were incompetent. If he hadn't lost so many pawns during the raid of the warlock's hide out then he would kill those who kept failing him. How hard was it to search Jocelyn's apartment and find the Mortal Cup or track down one child, they had spies everywhere, so they should have located her by now? Jocelyn's daughter should be here. Valentine flicked his eyes over to the unconscious form of Jocelyn, she looked just as beautiful as the day he first met her, how he longed for her during the hardest period of his life, hiding in the dark slowly and carefully rebuilding the circle until they were strong enough to rise out of the shadows.

"Valentine," Pangborn said portaling into his lab.

"What is it, Pangborn? And it better be good news," Valentine said, barely sparing a glance at his follower.

"We haven't found Clarissa Fairchild or the Mortal cup," Pangborn said, "but we found something else, something we thought you might want to see,".

Pangborn reached into his suit jacket pocket and pulled out a photograph before handing it over to Valentine. Valentine snatched it off him and looked down at the photo. It contained an obvious warlock creating a portal with Clarissa beside him. If he found this warlock, then he might lead him to Clarissa, or maybe this warlock was the one who conspired with Jocelyn and created the potion which put her to sleep.

"Have you located this warlock?" Valentine said although he suspected he already knew the answer, if Pangborn had found the warlock then he would have brought him with him.

"No, Valentine, look at the picture again, look at the warlock's eyes. Do you remind you so someone? A former circle member perhaps" Pangborn said, Valentine glared at him but still, he looked back down at the photograph and at the warlock's eyes, they were hazel not that it was anything special many people had hazel coloured eyes, in fact, they reminded him of… a smirk stretched out of Valentine's face.

"It looks like Maryse Lightwood kept a few secrets from us. Her child didn't die, the experiment was a success, Maryse's child is half-shadowhunter, half-warlock. Bring him to me, with him under my control I can create thousands of new and improved soldiers who could tear Alicante apart," Valentine couldn't believe his change of luck, the experiment worked and Maryse Lightwood lied to protect her child, to protect her secret, well it looks like she didn't try hard enough because he still found out and now he was going to use her precious child against her.

"That's not all. After receiving this photo, I recognised the boy. It would seem the day Jocelyn ran from the circle, Maryse asked Jocelyn to take her child with her. Jocelyn raised the boy which means if we can find him, he might know where Jocelyn hid the mortal cup," Pangborn said.

"Well then, get out there and find him" Valentine ordered, Pangborn nodded before portaling away. Valentine ran a hand through Jocelyn's hair.

"Well Jocelyn, it looks like I won't need our daughter after all,".
