"Let's get out of here," Simon said to his best friends when they walked and stood next to him. "Just you guys and me. We can find Dot ourselves."

"Si there are demons out there. Like actual ugly gross demons with tentacles that want to murder her," Olivia said.

"Liv's right. I mean, Simon, do you know how to kill a demon?" Clary piped in.

"I'm an internet search away."

"Si, I really don't think it's that simple."

"I bet it's not that hard," he retorted. 

"You also said that about a riding a bike when you were nine. You didn't learn how to until you were fourteen." Olivia smirked when she saw her best friend give her a playful glare.

Isabelle walked up and opened the vault of weapons making Olivia let out a scoff of amazement and look at it in awe. "Woah." 

Jace pursed his lips at his sister and slapped her hand away from the blade she was touching, giving her a scolding look. "No Izzy."

"Fifty bucks say that he doesn't approve of this mission." Isabelle smirked.

"I don't approve of this mission," Alec said walking to them with a scowl, sending small smiles to Jace and Olivia for a moment. 

"I spoke with the Clave," he continued, standing next to Olivia and gently placing his hand behind her back making her blush. "They're sending Seelie scouts to search for Valentine. But they made it clear, the little girl does not leave the premises."

"Hey her name is not 'little girl'," Olivia scowled at her mate making him frown. She was angry at him. He didn't want her to be angry with him. He didn't want to be the one to upset her. 

"I don't care what this clave thing or you want," Clary rolled her eyes. "We're going to find Dot."

"Alec this warlock could have the answers that we need. With Valentine's people out there searching for Liv and Clary, they're not safe outside alone." 

"Jace has a point," Isabelle said. 

"Et tu, Izzy?" He then turned to Clary, glaring at her. "All right, since you have all the answers, where do you suggest we search?"

"We should start at Dot's apartment in Greenpoint," Clary wondered. 

"And then there's this thrift store that she-." Olivia was cut off by her sister's loud gasp. She looked over at her to see her standing there with her eyes wide and her mouth agape. "Clare?"

She raised her hand and waved it around in front of her. Her brows furrowed in worry and she roughly shook the redhead's shoulders. "Clary? What's wrong? What's happening to her?" She turned to her mates,  but they both looked just as confused as her.

She turned back to Clary when she exhaled. "I um-. Weirdly I think I know where Dot is."

"Great! I'll drive." Simon frowned at the looks he was getting from the Shadowhunters around him. "What? Unless you have, like, a Shadowhunter mobile or something."

He chuckled nervously and looked down. A look of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked back up at them. "You were kidding about the runes killing me right?"

"Possibly," Jace whispered patting him on his back while Alec smirked. 

"Am I going to die?" Simon yelled. 

"Wait," Olivia whispered, grabbing Jace's arm as they walked outside. "He's not actually going to die, is he?"

"Of course not, baby girl." Jace whispered back.

Baby girl. Olivia shivered at that nickname and blushed, which Jace and Alec both obviously noticed because they shared a knowing smirk. 

Alec wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her closer to him as they neared the van. 

Clary sat in the passenger seat with Simon leaving space for only three people in the backseat. 

Isabelle sat in the left and Alec sat in the middle. Jace smirked at the nervous look Olivia held when she realised that she was going to have to sit in his lap. 

"Come on love, we don't have all day." He whispered in her ears before pulling her on his lap. He held her tightly against him, her back to his chest and nuzzled his face in her hair. 

Olivia frowned when she saw her sister give her a harsh glare. 

Of course Clary wanted Jace. That meant that Olivia couldn't have him. It was just how it always was. Clary always got what she wanted.
