Blackmailing photos

Clary'pov

When Jace, Alec, Magnus and Izzy arrived at New-York, they went directly at the Institute. They heard that Clary had a photo of the kids. The kidnappers (that everyone new who it was, now) had sent it. It was a photo of Amy, on a bed, knocked out. Her red hair was full with blood. Her nails, black with dirt. Her face, blue after all the punches and torture. On the other side on the photo, there was a little message.
We have your kids. This is just a photo of your girl. You will have to wait to see if your sons are alive.
In exchange, we want three Shadowhunters. Clarissa Morgenstern, Jace Herondale and Kristen Riverose. If you don't give us those three, we will kill Amy.
Circle
It was evident that Jace spoke first.
-Who the hell is Kristen Riverose?
-We don't know Jace. And we will find out. But... We need to go.

It has been two weeks since Clary had that conversation with her husband. They were waiting for information. Where to meet them. When they would get the kids back.
Clary had sent a letter. The Circle had never responded to it. So Clary was burning up with anger. But all she could do is wait. So she waited in the library.
-Clary.
Clary turned to see Simon standing in the front door.
-Look, he said. I know you are stressed out because of what's happening. But we all are. So we are going to Taki's. To let the stress out. Live a little.
Clary nodded.
-Yeah. I'm coming.
She went to her room. Took a black tank top and a pair of black jeans. She went to change in the bathroom. Finally, she put her hair in a ponytail.
She went downstairs to take her beige coat and her black boots with high heels.
Izzy, Jace, Simon, Alec and Magnus were waiting for her at the door, near the elevator. They went directly to the restaurant.

Magnus'pov

Clary looked sad. So as Jace, Izzy, Simon and Alec. And Magnus. But he couldn't see himself, so he thought he looked sad. Jace and him had send a alert to the Downworlders and the Nephilim. But none of them had seen the kids. And none of them...
-So, what can I get for you guys?
It was Kaelie. Magnus thought she was a fearie, but he wasn't sure. He was a little mad that she interrupted his thoughts. But the idea of a cappuccino would make everything good. Well, a little bit good.
-I will take a cappuccino, Magnus said.
Jace asked the same, so as Clary, Simon and Alec. Isabelle took a prune milkshake. Since she was pregnant, she didn't take caffeine.
-So, Magnus said. Where is Sebastian?
Clary froze.
-Not Sebastian. Jonathan. And he is at Idris. The Clave wanted...
-To work things out.
To everyone's surprise, it was Simon who talked. He didn't like the subject. First, it made Izzy cold and distant. And she had reasons to. Sebastian killed Maxwell. Simon didn't like when she was like that. Secondly, it made Clary's eyes full of tears. And thirdly, it made Jace angry because Sebastian made him do terrible things. Magnus looked at his hands. He didn't want to talk about Sebastian anymore.
-Jace!
Magnus sighted with relief. Whoever called Jace, Magnus loved him.
Jace turned to see a werewolf run in their direction.
-Honey, Clary said. What did you do again?
-Nothing, I swear.
To her suspicious look, he insisted.
-Really!
-Jace, the werewolf said again. It's Kristen Riverose. We found her.
The gang rose to their feet. Jace smirked at Clary, happy that he was right. But she didn't saw him. All her attention was on the werewolf.
-Where, Magnus asked, is she?
-At Bob'duck. Another restaurant near. Stanly saw her.
Magnus turned to Simon and exclaimed:
-He has the same name as you!
Simon face palmed. But Jace, he looked traumatized.
-Bob'duck?
Clary tried to reassure her husband.
-I'm sure there isn't any ducks in that restaurant, Jace.
Jace nodded, and they all followed the werewolf.

Kristen's pov

Kristen went directly to the door. She saw a werewolf run towards another restaurant when he saw her. His name was Kole, she thought. Well, whatever his name was, that action didn't bring any good. She may be a daylighter vampire, she could still die. Even if nobody knew what she was. Yes, some people knew her. But they all thought she was an ordinary vampire. Because Kristen took the precaution of not showing herself while the sun was up. Unlike that Simon guy. And they all knew how that worked out. He lost his memory. He became a mundane. His power lost forever. And then, the worst, he became a Shadowhunter.
You must know, she became a daylighter over an accident. She was drinking blood. The guy must have been special, because at the end of the day, she could walk in the sun. At first, she thought it was a benediction. But, after a while, she realized that everybody will try to kill her. That vampires will try to take her blood so they could walk in the sun again. And that Shadowhunters will try to kill her, for whichever reason they find.
Well, all that to say that Kristen ran for precaution. Even if the sun was down.
She went to a shop near of the restaurant she was in. Once in, she realized that this wasn't a shop. It was a Strip Club. But it was too late to turn around. Plus, Kole and the guys he went to get should be here now. So Kristen went further in the Club. She had to look like everybody else. She sat near an old guy looking pervert. She looked down at her feet, so she couldn't see the old guy. Or the stripers. Definitely both.
