" Jace? Is this Jace? This better be Jace."

Simon had waited until 11:00 pm to call Jace. Clary said she was hanging out with Jonathan today and would be home by 7:00 pm, but she hadn't shown up. At 8:00 he'd called Clary's cell, but there was no answer. He tried again several times, but still, Clary didn't pick up. He decided that she probably met up with Jace later on and if Clary was doing something with him…, He really didn't want to be at the end of the line, seeing as he would be interrupting a kind of important moment. He decided he would call at 11:00. They would be done by then right?

" yes, this is Jace. What do you want Simon, I was sleeping."

" You wouldn't happen to be with Clary would you?"

Even over the phone Simon could feel Jace tense.

" No she said she was hanging out with Jonathan today. Isn't she home yet?"

Simon had to keep from yelling into the phone.

" well obviously not since I'm calling you."

" right, sorry. I'll call Jonathan, then I'll call you back."

" okay."

" stop panicking. I'm sure she's perfectly alright."

" yeah I know…" Simon trailed off.

Jace hung up, and dialled Jonathan. There was no answer. He tried again, still nothing.

on the fifth try, a raspy female voice answered.

" Jace? Jace. is that you?"

Jace recognized that voice, all too well. The state it was in brought tears to his eyes.

" Clary? Clary! What's wrong? Where are you?"

" I-I don't know. Jonathan took me to lunch at Taki's then I passed out. When I woke up I was in this room, it looks like a storage wear house room or something. My hands are tied, and so are my feet."

Clary had begun to cry.

" Shhh…. Clary it's okay. everything will be alright. Have you seen Jonathan? Is he okay?"

There was a pause on the other end.

" I woke up just in time to see him leave the room, with some rope in his hands, then he locked the door."

No. No no no no no no. Jonathan couldn't have don't this. He'd told Jace when he had first found out about Clary after Valentine's death. Despite his grief he'd been so excited, so happy that he finally had a sister. Why would he kidnap her? It didn't make sense.

" Clary are you sure it was Jonathan?"

" I think so. He left me his jacket, that's how I have his phone. I guess he must have forgotten it."

Jace tried to swallow down his panic. He had to be calm, for Clary. He had to be calm.

" Jace?"

"yeah?"

" I'm scared. what if they're going to kill me?"

" I won't let that happen. I'll be there, I'll find you."

" Jace? Be careful. I don't want both of us dead. If you have to choose, choose the certainty of your life over the possibility of mine, okay?"

Jace tried not to choke on his tears.

" don't think about that. Everything will be alri-"

The line broke.

"CLARY! CLARY!"

silence.

He had to find her. He had to save her
