"And he spoke to you" Jace asked Clary holding the necklace. "He said my name he said your mother for the cup" Clary said. "Who said that" Alec asked. "Valentine" Clary and Jace told him.
"And he's with my mother" Clary said. "And he can speak to you through the necklace" Alec asked.
"Here in the institute" Kelsey asked going to Cary with Alec. "It's a portal shard that's why your mother made sure you had it" Jace said.
"All I know is what I saw my mother' s alive she's unconscious but alive" Clary said. "Where are they" Alec asked. "I don't know" Clary said. "But you said you saw them" Alec said.
"Alec relax" Kelsey told him. "You want me to relax" Alec asked her. "Alec" Kelsey said and Alec ignored her.
"Was there any identifying characteristics equipment, weapons, photographs" Alec asked.
"I don't remember it was awful" Clary said. "Alec lighten up" Jace said. "I'm trying to get something we can use out of this" Alec said.
"Clary what did you see exactly" Alec asked. "Valentine had my mother that's what I saw" Clary said.
"Emotions are nothing but a distraction you're ruled by them we're taught to control them" Alex said. "And how is that working out for you" Clary asked.
"It is my job to protect the institute if Valentine can see in that's a door I have to shut" Alec told her.
"Oh, just give him the necklace so he can look at it so we can move in from this subject please" Kelsey said and Jace gave Alec the necklace.
"Now it's in the proper hands" Alec said. "Hey" Clary said. "Did you know he was going to do that" Clary asked Kelsey. "No but he's right" Kelsey said.
"Kels" Jace said. "Jace don't I'm with Alec on this and I'm not changing my mind and no it's not because of my feelings for him" Kelsey said following Alec with Jace and Cary.
"Alec" Clary said. "Where are you going" Clary asked.
"To put this somewhere safe where no one could be tempted to use it" Alec said. "We should use it" Jace said. "No, we shouldn't" Kelsey said.
"Alec, Kelsey, we should use it to Valentine" Jace said.
"If I were Valentine, I'd make you think that you could rescue Jocelyn and then I'd lure Clary to me and leverage her life for the cup" Alec said and traced the rune on the floor as it opened.
"I like Jace's idea we saved Simon from the vampires that way" Clary said. "And nearly died doing it" Kelsey said as she saw Alec trace a rune.
"Vampires bored decadent self-involved vampires Valentine is a real threat" Alec said and traced a rune as the safe shut. "He can't be handled by four and a half Shadowhunters" Alec said.
"Five" Clary said. "Whatever leave it there" Alec said leaving. "Kelsey are you really on his side about this" Clary asked. "Sorry Clary" Kelsey said leaving.

"Hey dad" Kelsey said on the phone walking into her room locking the door. "Hey munchkin is something bothering you" Magnus asked.
"Valentine contacted Clary through a necklace" Kelsey said.
"What Kels if Valentine can see through that necklace, and he gets to you" Magnus said. "I know, believe me I know it's my life story" Kelsey said sitting on the bed.
"Munchkin you need to tell them the clave and the institute already know you yourself asked them if you could tell them and that now includes Clary, and you especially need to tell that boy you like so much" Magnus said.
