Luke P.O.V

"So, what's is our first step?" Jace voiced the question at Luke

"We start with Simon's texts," He told him.

Turning to Maia he asked her "When did you get his last text?"

"About two days ago, when he didn't answer I assumed that he was busy, and that why I went visit today to surprise him, and you know the rest," told him looking distressed as she was sitting on the couch.

"I see, so when was the last time you saw him in person?" he asked trying to determine as to who was the last to see him before he disappeared.

"The night at the hunter's moon, when we were celebrating Valentine's defeat?"

"But that was a month ago, you're telling that none of you saw him since then?" asked Magnus's friend Catarina, not meaning an ill intention, as she genuinely looked curious.

At that statement everyone looked guilty, after all its been an entire month and none of them even noticed that Simon was gone, it's true that it was a crazy month, dealing with ramification of siding with the Seelie queens, going to meetings, managing new members of the pack, he was busy, but that was no excuses, he should have called, or texted, anything to check on Simon, so much for thinking of him as a son, he didn't even know that Simon went missing.

"No, I didn't, he texted all the time, claiming to be busy with school work every time I wanted to meet, and I didn't think much of it because I was myself busy with my studies," Maia told with such a guilty look that he felt little sorry for her.

"Did say he anything to you before he left?"

"He said he was going to the Dumort to update Raphael on everything that wants down." at that statement he shared a look with Magnus, as Magnus figured out what he is probably thinking.

"Well, it looks like we're going to visit the Dumort," told them Jace looking ready to fight, it looks like he already made up his mind about how took Simon.

"Raphael wouldn't do anything to Simon" it was Magnus who came to Raphael's defense, which is not surprising, Raphael always was close to Magnus, in a way they had their own father-son relationship.

Jace raised one eyebrow and asked Magnus "Are you sure about that, after all, Simon has what every vampire want, you can't tell me that Raphael is not as desperate as any other vampire to walk in the sun without burning."

"And considering the fact he refuses to willingly share how it happened, Raphael may have turned to drastic measures to get the information out of him." chipped in Clary who looked like she was ready to tear down the Dumort if it meant finding Simon, and from the looks of it Maia seems to agree with them.

Alec and Catarina were the only ones who stayed quiet, but in Alec's case, he suspects he is staying neutral for his boyfriend's sake in hopes of not upsetting him further, as he looked already upset at the fact that they assumed Raphael is responsible for Simon's disappearances.

And before the situation could escalate he spoke "Ok let's not jump to conclusions without any hard evidence, let's speak to Raphael first and find out what happened that day with Simon" they both raised a good point but he was going to accuse Raphael just based on assumption, one thing he learned as a detective is, always investigate first, because jumping to conclusion without actual prove could lead to innocent person paying the price for something they did not do.
