"You wanted to see me your majesty." Jerome says, walking in to alecs office.
"Yes, I did. I want to talk to you as my father."
"Ok. What's wrong?"
"I don't trust this guy who says he is magnus's father."
"I don't either."
Alec sighs and says, "I don't want Magnus left alone with him under any circumstances."
"Of course. I will put my best men on it."
"I want you to protect my husband and my children."
"I'm sorry. I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"I am your security."
"Please. Magnus and the kids are my world. I can't imagine my life without them. Please watch them?"
Jerome looks at alec and seeing the desperation in his eyes he says, "ok. But you have to assure me not to put yourself in harms way on purpose."
"Ok."

"Where are you going?" Jerome asks when Magnus and the kids walk out of the kitchen.
"We are going into the garden to have a picnic."
"You can't do that."
"Why not?"
"You have to have security with you."
"Jerome." Magnus laughs. "We won't leave the palace grounds. We will be fine." Magnus says as him and the kids walk outside.

"He took them."
"Who?"
"Magnus, the kids and Jerome. He took them."
"Who took them?" alec says, standing up.
"Asmodeus bane."
