"The clave is very impressed with your progress they think you're ready for your first mission" Alec told Max.
"What do you think" Alec asked him. "I've been ready since the day I got here" Max told Alec.
"Well then you better get your butt over to training you know how much our sister hates tardiness" Alec said. "Congrats little man" Kelsey said to Max.
"Thanks Kelsey" Max said to her and went to hurry to, training but then stopped. Jace and Clary then walked in as Alec and Kelsey noticed.
"Any sign of Johnathan" Alec asked them. "No, we tracked the box itself, but it was a dead end" Jace said. They saw Max looking and then he hurried to training.
"Can't blame him for being curious all kids are curious" Kelsey said.
"So Valentine sent Duncan to steal a pair of baby booties" Alec asked. "Someone did someone who wanted to circumvent us from tracking Johnathan" Jace said.
"And now we have no leads on either of them we've got nothing" Clary said. "Which is annoying" Kelsey added.
"Actually, we have less than nothing there's some you should know the clave doesn't have the soul sword they never did" Alec said. "What are you kidding" Kelsey said frustrated.
"So, the clave has been lying this entire time" Clary asked. "Wouldn't be the first time" Jace said.
"The clave is trying to prevent an uprising if the downworld finds out that we don't have the soul sword there would be total chaos" Alec said.
"But the sword's been deactivated it can't be used on downworlders" Clary said. "Not in the way Valentine used it before but it's still a mortal instrument" Alec said.
"What he's trying to say little sister is if you combine it with the other two mortal instruments the cup and the mirror our lovely dad Valentine could use it to raise the angel Raziel" Kelsey said.
"I thought that was just legend" Clary said confused.
"Well, the legends are true the angel will grant him one wish anything he wants" Alec said. "The end of the downworld as we know it" Clary said.

"Hey Kels wait" Jace said catching up to her seeing her in her way to the kitchen causing her to stop. "Yeah, Jace you need something" she asked him.
"I just wanted to check on you know with Valentine and Johnathon I just worry about you" Jace said.
"Are you okay" he asked. "I don't know" Kelsey admitted it to him.
"This all is just so much you know and I'm scared half the time that if Johnathon finds me, he will either kill me or try to make me like him a monster I don't want to be a monster I can't be a monster" Kelsey said.
"Kels hey Kels" Jace said pulling her into a hug. *I promise you I won't let Johnathan anywhere near you ever he won't, land a hand on you" Jace said to her as he hugged her.

Kelsey saw Alec busy in work and softly knocked on the door causing him to look up.
"Lost track of time" she asked him. "Missed dinner didn't I" he asked her. "Only by a few hours" Kelsey said and Alec went to her.
"I'm so sorry really" Alec said and gave her a quick kiss. "I just it's been so crazy here" Alec explained to her. "Alec don't apologize I understand" Kelsey told him.
"I can't believe I forgot" Alec said. "Alec baby hey it's okay don't stress besides if we can't go to the cape then maybe this will help" Kelsey said revealing a basket and Alec looked inside.
