Chapter 2: Ditched and Glittery
Jace held the binoculars up to his eyes and looked through them. He saw Izzy and Clary walk into another store. He sighed, "Alec, look at Clary. She hasn't bought one thing, why would she even go shopping."
Alec fumbled with his potato chips, "I don't know, maybe she just wants a girls day out with Izzy."
"Impossible; why would she do that? Pass me a chip." Alec passed one over. He bit it and spit it out. "Why'd you buy sour cream and onion? You know I hate onions."
"Onions hate you! That's why they're always making you cry! Lol, pun," he laughed at his own joke.
"We're not texting!" Alec frowned. Izzy and Clary walked out of Forever 21 carrying another bag. "Alec! They're they are." He swung his arm to point and hit Alec making him fall backwards.
Alec stood up, holding one eye, "I'm going home!"
"Fine, whatever, leave. I don't need you," Jace screamed. "Take your cruddy potato chips with you!" He threw the bag and it hit Alec. Alec hugged his potato chips and walked away.
"I can't believe this," Jace said still staring into his binoculars. A tap on his shoulder made him turn around. Two cops stood behind him. They stared at him. "Oh, hey umm, what's up?"
"Sir, why do you have a pair of binoculars," one of them asked narrowing his eyes.
"Umm, funny story, you see my girlfriend totally ditched me for a day with my sister and I want to see what they're doing," Jace said with a tiny smile. "And I'm not a sir, do I look like a sir!" Jace said changing up a line from Transformers 3 (which is the best movie ever and I highly recommend it! I don't own that line either)
"Then what are you," the other officer asked.
"I'm a Jace, that's my name don't wear it out. And who would you be?"
The first officer who called him sir said, "I'm your worst nightmare."
The other officer said, "I'm Officer Warren Peace." (WARREN PEACE IS A NAME FROM SKY-HIGH THAT I DONT OWN) Jace broke out laughing. "Do you find something funny?" The officer said as his hand went to his gun.
"Oh, snap he bringing out gun. He mad," Jace said with another Transformers 3 joke (which I don't own).
The officers hauled Jace up from his spot. "Okay that's it. Insulting a cop is a felony!"
"Since when?"
"Since we found a boy with a pair of binoculars and a knife in his pocket."
Jace rolled his eyes and laughed nervously. "I don't have a knife."
One officer went to his pocket and pulled out a stele disguised as a knife. "Why do you have this?"
"I umm, I umm. I... I'd like my one phone call now."
"We haven't even brought you in," Officer Warren Peace said raising an eyebrow.
Jace shrugged, "It's only a matter of time."
"Don't you have a cell phone, kid?" Jace pulled it out of his pocket. "You got one call."
Jace dialed Alec's number, the ringing stopped, an angry Alec came through the phone, "What?"
"Alec!" He hung up as soon as he heard it was Jace. Jace laughed softly. "I umm forgot he… died last month, his phone was just disconnected." Who else can I friggen call! Jace thought, "Clary and Isabelle will kill me if they found out I was spying on them. I got it!" He dialed Magnus's number. "Hey, Magnus."
"What's up brother of my boyfriend?"
"I'm stuck in a sticky situation."
Magnus sighed through the phone. "Did you get gum in your hair, I ran out of the de-gummer shampoo."
"No, Dude." He lowered his voice to a whisper, "The cops are on my back right now, they found my stele and think it's a knife, and I was spying with binoculars."
"Why the hell were you doing that?"
"It's a long story just come get me out!" The cops took Jace by the arms and put him in the back of their cruiser.
"Where are you?"
"Well, at the moment in a police cruiser. I'm on my way to the county jail though, in Brooklyn."
"I'll track you."
"You have a Jace tracker?" Jace said confused.
"Just trust me!" Then he hung up.
"Okay, fellas, take me to jail," Jace said leaning his head back on the seat.

Magnus walked into the jail. Jace sat up from the bench in his cell. "Magnus! You found me!" He said all dramatically.
Officer Peace stared at the glittery man in front of him. "Umm, sir, you have to sign a few papres..." Magnus interrupted by throwing some powder in his face. The guy dropped in his chair like a rock.
"Magnus! What did you do?"
Magnus put a finger to his lips, telling him to be quiet and said to the unconscious cop, "I came in and I paid the bail for Jace and then you fell asleep."
The cop nodded in his sleep. Jace said, "What the hell?" Magnus grabbed the cell keys and let Jace out. "Are you a hypnotist?"
"No, the powder knocks them out, and whatever they hear is what they will think happened."
"I need to borrow that stuff sometime," Jace said staring at Magnus in wonder. "So, why weren't you hanging out with Alec today?"
"I was busy..."
Jace cocked his head. "You were busy yet you got me out of jail."
Magnus rubbed his eye. "You're welcome, goodbye." Magnus disappeared with a flash and a poof.
"Umm… I guess I need a subway station."
A good thirty minutes later Jace walked in the door of the institute. Isabelle and Clary were sitting in the dining room giggling about a different hot movie star. Clary saw Jace, "Hey, what did you do today?"
Alec walked in and glared at Jace. "You called Magnus to bail you out of jail!" Alec screamed.
"I did, THAT today," Jace said answering Clary's question, rubbing his neck.
"Why were you in jail?" Clary asked.
Isabelle asked cocking an eyebrow, "Why did you call Magnus to get you out?"
"Umm, I had a pair of binoculars and I had a stele disguised as a knife in my pocket. And I called Magnus because YOU..." he pointed a finger at Alec, "Didn't come get me out when I called you! You hung up on me."
"You hit me in the eye and threw a bag at me," Alec accused.
"The first one was an accident and you deserved that!"
Clary interrupted. "Wait, why did you have a pair of binoculars?"
Jace threw his hands up. "Stop questioning me woman!" He walked out of the room, up the stairs, to his room.
Alec walked by the door, stopped and poked his head in in. He growled, "If I discover you're trying to steal Magnus from me, I will personally lead a demon towards you." He gave Jace the "I'm watching you" look and walked away.
Jace yelled after him, "I'm not gay!"
Clary walked in and heard his comment, "I would certainly hope not or I'm out of a boyfriend."
"But, you would rather spend the day shopping with Iz," Jace said narrowing his eyes.
She rolled her eyes. "I swear, Jace..."
He winked, "Go ahead, give me your best swear."
"No, I'm a lady, I do not swear." He shook his head at her. Isabelle walked in, "Hey, Clary! That new chick flick is playing tonight in 45 minutes, you want to go?"
Clary jumped up, "Hell, yes! Ha," she said grinning at Jace. "Let's go." The two girls left the room and left Jace sitting there with a confused look on his face.
Alec walked past the room again, he saw Jace's dumb look and walked in. "What's wrong?"
"Clary just ditched me for Isabelle again."
Alec smiled. "Whoa, twice in one day!"
"I don't understand women."
Alec skipped out of the room, "I never will have to."
Jace looked at his clothes, "Great, Magnus's exit left me glittery..."
Poor confused Jace. And oh Alec. So I feel like the two are crazy together. Okay so what did you think? Favorite or review!
