"I remember that Jace specifically said that you are not supposed to leave the institute for another week" Oliver was frightened, I guess not all warlocks are badasses like Magnus

"Jace says a lot of things, I can't keep track of every single one" we were walking to the Upper East side

"Look I don't know why your under institute arrest but I am really not in the mood for getting beat up by the best shadowhunter in the world"

I stopped walking and turned around to face Oliver who was sweating vigorously, "If you must know, the Clave put me on probation for branding spinach from the institute as a demon drug and selling it to foolish mundanes"

"What! you're a drug lord"

"I mean the Clave doesn't care about the fooling mundane part, they actually thought it was funny. But apparently it encourages mundanes to summon demons and sometimes the demons come and things get messy and we have to clean it up"

"Great! I am friends with a drug lord"

"I am not a drug lord! Besides Clave told me to stop and I will after today, it's my last delivery and I don't disappoint my clients"

"We are making a delivery! Like right now! Oh god oh god oh god"

"Relax" I took out a small ziplock bag with some white stuff out of my pocket and tossed to Oliver

"Oh my god! Is this-"

"It's sugar, but if anyone asks it's from the Norwegian demon lord Koolos"

"Who is that?"

"I don't know I made the name up, but the important part is that you don't lose it. I would keep it on me but we are entering a warlock zone and they don't trust me"

We started walking again and in a few minutes we were in the heavily guarded warlock zone.

"Has it been two weeks already, wait! no it hasn't" a girl with the skin of envy and the hair of the sun spoke

"Ophelia, what's up?" I said

"What are you doing out of the institute? I thought they put you on probation after I busted you"

"Your charming as ever, I don't believe you have met Lord Oliver the high warlock of-"

"Orlando" Oliver interjected, still drowning in his sweat

"Oliver? The high warlock of Orlando?" Ophelia cocked her eyebrow up

"That's Lord Oliver to you, he is a bit touchy about that subject. Magnus suggested that I should give him a tour of New York, I obviously told him about my tricky situation but you know Magnus, once he has made up his mind there is no way to change it" she gave me a menacing look after I finished speaking

"Well we must go, there is just so much to see and Lord Oliver gets agitated just waiting around, you don't want to see him angry" I pushed Ophelia out of the way and Lord Oliver and I made our way to my clients house.

We stood outside a huge Mansion with water fountains in every corner. It almost like looked like a modern version of the institute. I turned to look at Oliver and he was almost trembling. I told him to take the sugar out and he did so.

"I want you to use your magic and give it some pizazz" I suggested

"Umm I am not sure about that-" he hesitated

"What could go wrong!"

I spoke to soon, I wanted to give the sugar some pizzazz but the sugar now smelled like farts.

"What the hell happened?" I almost screamed, "you were fine cleaning up the mess"

"I don't perform well under pressure" the sweat was dripping from his head

"It's ok it will have to work for now" I rang the bell and a man in a long toga and beads around his neck appeared. He looked like he was in 20s. I handed him the bag and with one sniff his face looked disgusted

"What is this!"

"Don't insult Koolos' gift! Now do you have the information?"

"There is another one, female about 12 years of age" with that he shut the door in my face and I looked at the clock above the door. Shit! We had to get back to the institute.

We practically ran to the institute, I bumped into about 20 people walking and the response were not pleasing. Thank god my room was on ground floor. I told Oliver to kneel so I could reach the window with a push. I finally reached my room and forced myself through the window. And there was Jace sitting on my bed with a cardboard box in his hand.

"So...how was the movie?" I broke the silence

"A little too zombiey for me" he answered

"Cool"

"I think you broke my back!" Oliver screamed through the window

"Shut up Oliver!" I screamed back

Jace simply laid back on the bed and I jumped and plopped down right next to him. I felt bad that I snuck out when he told me not to.

"Are you mad?" I finally asked

"How much did you sell it for?" He asked

"Nothing"

"Now I am a little mad"

I laughed as he got up and pulled me up with him. Then he said that he was sorry.

"Wait what? say it again I wasn't listening" I chuckled

"Don't get too cocky. I just realized that you're not going to go out one day and your evil father and brother are going to come after you, mostly because you don't go out at all because you hate everyone" He continued, "but the point is you're a shadowhunter and you can handle yourself and now instead of being over protective, I am only going to be protective without the over"

"Well that's a step in the right direction" with that he gave me the box—which I am hoping contains fries from Taki's— and left.

"Rona! Are you there?"

Oh shoot I completely forgot about Oliver. I rushed toward the window and saw him cracking and twisting his back.

"Sorry about your back" I spoke looking down at him from my window

"Nothing a little magic can't fix"

"If it's your magic it can't fix anything" with that he laughed

"I better go, I am sure Magnus is worried about me, well secretly"

"Hey, Clary throws this super fun dinner extravaganza every year and this year it's next week, I think you should come"

"I mean if it's like a family th-"

"I always get bored and end up taking care of Max and Rafe, so it be cool if you came"

"Yeah okay, I will be there then"

I went back and sat on my bed. A night with no worries and box full of fries from Taki's, this couldn't get any better. I opened the box and was surprised to find one French fry in the box, oh he is so dead!

"Jace! You loon! You ate all my fries, I swear I will release ducks in your room!" I ran out of my room so I could strangle the Herondale.
