Hey guys, I know I said I would update this quite a long time ago... but I didn't. And I doubt I'll be updating again until mid December (I have exams). Anyway, thanks for all the reviews! Enjoy!


Jace called room service and ordered the cheapest steak on the menu—sixty dollars, it came to. The person on the other end of the line did seem puzzled when he asked for it to be brought up raw, but he didn't have time to care about stupid mundanes.

The waiter who delivered the steak to the room even seemed on edge as he handed Jace the steak. The young boy stood at the door, with his hand outstretched expectantly as Jace took the steak from him. Jace smiled at him, said his thanks, and shut the door in the boys face. Poor boy.

"This doesn't seem fair," Alec said as Eric pushed the leftover roofies into the steak.

"It's rock paper scissors," said Jace. "Nothing's more fair."

"Eric should do it," said Alec.

"Eric took a punch from Raphael," said Jace. "Come on, for Simon."

"Why are you peppering the steak?" Asked Alec. "You don't know if tigers like pepper."

"Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon." Eric stated matter of factly.

"Jace, just do it," said Alec in a voice he had always used with Jace when they were younger; a voice Jace couldn't say no to. "You should do it."

Jace swallowed the lump that formed in this throat when Alec did this to him. He had to learn to say no. "I would, but you lost," he said, "it wouldn't be right."

"Okay, I jammed five roofies in there," said Eric, handing Alec the steak carefully. "Just go in there and throw it in to him."

Alec gave in with a sigh. "Fine," he said as he stood up and braced himself to meet the tiger.

"Make sure he eats the full thing," said Jace as Alec turned the handle of the bathroom door.


Alec hid around the side of the wall as he entered the room, and cussed at himself as he peeked round to look at the magnificent orange striped beast.

As he faced the beast he breathed, trying to calm himself. He had faced many great demons, but he had never been more scared now than he had in his whole life. "Hey, kitty," he said to the tiger.

The tiger just looked at him.

"Hey, sweetie, it's okay," Alec found the tiger surprisingly like Maia. "I got a little snack for you." He waved the steak in front of the tiger's face warily. "It's real important that you eat this, okay?"

"Yeah, just have a little," he said, as the tiger started to edge towards the steak.

The tiger snatched the steak out of Alec's hand, making him run out the room screaming like a little girl. "Shit," he said, as he shut the door behind him, locking the tiger in the bathroom.

Jace and Eric looked at him with worried eyes.

"What do we do now?" Asked Alec.

"We wait." Said Jace.


The wait for the tiger to be drugged was long and daunting wait, so Jace decided to tinker around on the piano to ease the mood.

"What do tigers dream of, when they take a little tiger snooze?" He began to sing. "Do they dream of mauling zebras or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit? Don't you worry your pretty striped head, we're gonna get you back to Raphael and your cozy tiger bed. And then we're gonna find our best friend Simon, and then we're going to give him a best friend hug. Siiiiiiiiiiiimon, Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimon, Simon, Si, Si, Simon Simon. But if he's been murdered by bloody thirsty werewolves," the tiger groaned, signalling that it was passed out. "Then we're shit out of luck." Jace finished quickly.


Once the tiger was completely passed out, the loaded it onto a luggage cart and threw a bed sheet over him so that they wouldn't attract anymore suspicious attention.

"By the way, we're all going to die," said Alec, as they lugged the cart into the hallway.

"Oh, for the love of the Angel," said Jace as he watched them hit the tiger into the wall several times.

"Watch it!" Said Eric.

"His nose," hissed Alec. "That's his nose."

They all felt nervous about driving a tiger in the back of their car down the streets of Las Vegas.

"Hey guys," said Eric. "When's the next Halley's coment?

"Who cares, man," said Jace. The lack of sleep was starting to take its toll on him.

"Do you know, Alec?"

"I don't think it's for another, like sixty years or something." That was just a complete guess. He wasn't interested in comets.

"But it's not tonight, right?"

"No, I don't think so."

"But you don't know for sure?"

"No."

"I go this cousin Marcus who saw one," said Eric. "He said it blew his mind. I wanna make sure I never, ever miss out on a Halley's comet. So, if you guys know if there's gonna be one—"

It looked like the roofies hadn't lasted long on the tiger, because it let out a deafening roar, making two out of the three men shit their pants, literally.

"Oh fuck!" They screamed, and the tiger roared more, and even clawed Jace in the back. After that, they screamed things too incomprehensible to write down. But let's say, it was a mish mash of random cursing words amid the tiger's snarling.

The chaos caused Jace to lose control of his driving, and he skidded into other cars that were also in the tunnel they were driving under. As the tiger clawed him in the back, he drove into the side of the truck as he screamed in pain.

Cars honked at them as they stopped the car and leapt out the car, shutting the doors behind themselves.

"Oh, my Angel!" Screamed Alec.

"Fuck it!" Yelled Jace. "Alec, Alec, it got me! Alec!" Nephilim didn't know how to deal with normal attacks, only demon ones. They were practically useless, plus, they were chucked out the Clave, so they didn't have weapons anyway.

"You got clawed!" Alec yelped, looking at Jace's back. "You're bleeding!"

They died (not literally) as they watched the tiger rip apart the furniture in Robert Lightwood's precious car.

"Oh!" They said as the tiger pushed it's leg through one of the rear mirrors.

"I'm panicking!" Said Eric.

"Okay, okay, okay. Wait, hold on," said Jace, formulating a plan inside his head, but lost anything he had thought of as the tiger watched them and growled.


In the end, they decided to push the car back to Raphael's house.

"I can't do it!" Eric cried every time the tiger roared from the inside of the car.

"Get your fucking hand back inside there and steer the car," said Jace.

"I'm too nervous!" Squirmed Eric.

"Eric, we need you buddy," said Alec. "This is your time to shine, okay?"

"Okay, yeah," Eric breathed, and put his hand back in the car to steer. "Your daddy is going to kill me, Alec."

"Keep it straight," Alec ignored him. He knew that his dad was going to take a flakey.

They gazed at the magnificent house in awe as they rang the doorbell of Raphael's Las Vegas residence. The house was huge and expensive looking. Everyone wished it was their house.

"You're late," said the vampire that seemed to do all the talking for Raphael.

"Whatever man, we had to push it the last mile." Said Jace.

"Come on in," the boy said. "Raphael has something he wants to show you."

They stepped into the foyer of the house slowly, soaking in the marble floors and staircases, and the huge grand piano in the middle.

"That things out of control, man," Jace said to the boy vampire. "Seriously, you gotta put it down."


"When we got back, we looked at the security camera," said Raphael once they were all seated on his big luxurious leather sofa. The boy pressed play on the video player, and the video of the night before began.

The tape showed the boys stumbling drunkenly through Raphael's gardens in the early hours of the morning, with Simon there.

"Oh, it's Simon!" Alec exclaimed, relieved.

Jace leaned back in the chair in reassurance. "Thank the Angel he's alive!"
"That's our buddy," Alec couldn't conceal his grin. "that's our buddy Simon. That's who we've been missing."

"Yes," said Eric. "We're all best friends."

"Why don't you just pay attention?" Raphael said, exasperatedly. "I don't have all night."

"Yeah, of course," Jace said, getting back to business. "Of course."

The tape showed Eric climbing onto a rock surrounding Raphael's pool carelessly, with Alec in the back ground asking him what he was doing.

"Hey guys, check this out. Watch me." Eric said, climbing to the rock closest to the pool.

"That's me, on TV" Eric said, sounding rather pleased with himself. "I've never been on TV before."

The screen showed Eric peeing into Raphael's pool.

"What are you doing, man?" They heard Simon giggle from the TV

"Really?" Jace said, looking mighty disappointed with Eric. "Really, Eric?"

"You got a fire house, man?"

Eric turned round to see Raphael's look of sheer disgust. "Yeah, I was, uh—"

"You're gonna over flow the pool, man." They heard Alec say.

"Maybe—" said Eric. "Should I wait outside?"

"I think that's a good idea, Eric," said Raphael.

"Yeah," Alan said as sharply as he stood up.

"Don't touch anything out there, either," said the vampire boy as Eric made his way out.

"You know what?" said Alec, almost pleadingly. "He's not our good fr— We don't know him that well."

The screen now showed Jace leading the tiger out of Raphael's estate on a piece of rope, while the others followed close behind.

"By the way," said Raphael. "Where did you Shadowhunters get that cop car from?"

"We, um, stole it from these dumb ass cops," said Alec awkwardly.

"Nice," said Raphael with a grin.

The other two laughed almost too enthusiastically.

"High five that one!" said Raphael, raising a hand at Alec. "Yeah, that's nice." He said again, obviously thinking about it over and over.

"You know, I just have to say…" Jace said with all seriousness. "I have never seen a more beautiful, elegant, just regal creature."

The screen showed Jace pushing the tiger into the backseat of the car, looking like he was anally raping it. "Check this out. Alec. Alec. Fuck this tiger." He said, making inappropriate hip thrusts.

"For the love of the Angel," said Alec disapprovingly. "That's awful."

"Oh, man," said Raphael, finally gob smacked. "Who does shit like that, man?"

"Someone who has a lot of issues, obviously." Jace said. "I'm a sick man."

The boy turned the TV off. "That's all we've got."

"This was hugely helpful," said Alec, trying to smooth the surface. "Really. Because now we know that our buddy Simon was with us at 3.30, totally alive."

"You must remember it is hard to kill the Night Children," said Raphael.

"Thanks again, champ," said Jace. "And, uh, again, we are so sorry that we stole your tiger."

"Don't worry about it, man," said Raphael, shaking his head, making his darkest brown curly locks bounce. "Like you said, we all do dumb shit when we're fucked up."

Alec and Jace laughed over enthusiastically again.

"I told you he'd get it!"

"I did say that!"


Anyway, like I said, I probably won't be updating until mid December! see ya all then!
