"Hey, can we talk" Jace asked Clary as he walked up to her. "About what" Clary asked. "About how you keep walking out of the room every time I walk in" Jace told her. "I haven't" Clery denied.
"Yeah, you have Clary and look I get it, but we can't avoid each other forever" Jace said.
"Jace Valentine's missing okay we have more important things to deal with right now" Clary told Jace then made his way to Alec, Izzy, and Kelsey as Jace followed her.
"Any word from Magnus or Luke" Clary asked them. "No nothing yet" Kelsey told her.
"With Valentine free the downworld cabinet has been holding secluded meetings at the Seelie court" Alec said. "Well, that's not good" Jace said.
"You think anything good happens in the Seelie court" Clary asked. "The clave isn't gonna let this go unpublished the inquisitor's sent an envoy to assess the situation" Kelsey said.
"Chances are they'll be the ones replacing me as head of the institute" Alec said.
"Not if we can recapture Valentine, Sebastian and all available personnel are searching we already know Duncan managed to hijack the portal" Izzy said.
"If he was Luke's accomplice he could have been orchestrating the secret transfer all along" Jace said.
"Listen I appreciate the effort, but Valentine escaped on my watch I deserve to take the heat for it" Alec said.
"This isn't your fault it's mine I was the one in charge of the transfer team" Izzy said.
"Hey both of you stop blaming yourselves" Kelsey told them. "Hey, we both were" Jace told Izzy.
"Look Alec you are a good leader you can't just let Imogen fire you over something you didn't do" Jace said.
"Alec will do as he's ordered" Robert said as he walked in.
"Dad" Izzy said as she saw him. "Huh wasn't expecting to see him" Kelsey said. "What are you doing here" Alec asked Robert. "I'm the Clave's envoy we need to talk" Robert said.

After hours later Kelsey knocked on Alec's office door. "Come in" Alec said and Kelsey walked in.
"I saw your dad leave how did that go" Kelsey asked. "As well as you imagine I guess" Alec said.
"Hey, you know you're going everything you can right" Kelsey told Alec. "Feels like I could be doing kore" Alec said.
"Don't overwork yourself Alec everything will work out promise" Kelsey said. "Yeah maybe" Alec said, and Kelsey sighed.
"I may have an idea of taking your mind off it for a little while you up for it" Kelsey asked.
"What do you have in mind" Alec asked and Kelsey locked the office door and pulled down all the shades confusing Alec till he saw her unbuttoning her shirt.
"You want to have sex in my office you know what why not" Alec said and Kelsey smiled.
Alec then made his way to Kelsey after taking off his shirt and kissed Kelsey as things got heated.

"Honestly as long as dad apologizes to Max, I don't care what the fire messages said" Alec said.
"I know you're still upset about the whole affair but think about it Valentine escaped under our watch and yet dad somehow convinced the inquisitor to let you keep your job what kind of leverage could he possibly have to do something like that" Izzy asked.
"It does make you wonder doesn't it" Kelsey asked as Izzy nodded at her. "Did he say anything" Izzy asked Alec.
"Not really he said he was in love" Alec said. Then suddenly Kelsey and Izzy noticed Alec's expression. "Are you okay" Izzy asked him.
