disclaimer: I have nothing to do, whatsoever, with the talented Ms. Clare.
The next night, Clary was following Church down the hall. He had a look of trouble to her, but what she didn't know, is that Church always had that look of trouble past 9 pm. They went past the staircase and then up a ladder. Cats climb ladders? Thought Clary. Then she followed him up. He went through a hole in the roof. She followed him and when she was finished, she found herself with a beautiful view. She went back to get Jace.
A short time later, Clary and Jace were climbing up to the roof. It was even darker now, and the stars glittered across the darkened sky. Wow, as all Clary could say over and over. Jace pulled out some broken down cardboard and put it against the building. They sat down together and looked skyward.
All of the sudden there was a loud metal bang. Jace and Clary turned their heads and saw the hatch cover was closed.
"Oh no, Church did that." said Clary. Jace caught on all too quickly.
"Do you mean Church was still up here when you came to get me?" asked Jace.
"Yeah, I think so." said Clary.
"He pulled a fast one on you, Clary. If I knew that..." said Jace.
They went over to the trap door, but it was locked.
Church got his revenge, Jace smiled.
