Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 42- Relentless

Magnus and Alec headed out of their apartment complex and climbed into Magnus' car before they pulled out into the traffic. Magnus didn't know where he wanted to go, only somewhere far away from his home that he didn't feel comfortable at anymore.

"I need to call Simon and let him know," Alec muttered as he pulled out his phone and scrolled through to Simon's name.

"Do you think we should tell him face to face? Go to Izzy's place?" Magnus offered. As much as he wanted to just get out of the city, he knew that Simon had to know so he didn't go back to the apartment either.

"Is that ok?" Alec asked, worried about Magnus' feelings.

"Yes. Just guide me to Izzy's," Magnus smiled.

He listened to Alec's instructions and after 15 minutes they pulled up outside Izzy's apartment complex and got out. Magnus looked around nervously, his arms wrapped around himself, as they walked from the car to the intercom and buzzed Izzy's place.

"Hey. Who is it?" Izzy's sweet voice came playing out.

"Iz, it's me and Mags. We need to speak to Si," Alec replied. They were buzzed in instantly without another word from Alec's sister before they headed to the elevator and up to her apartment. Magnus unable to stop himself from gripping Alec's hand as he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Alec, what if my father and Camille aren't dead?" Magnus asked quietly.

"They are baby. We will get to the bottom of this and find out who is behind it but the police said that the accident did happen. Just try to not let yourself worry too much. I know its hard baby, but I'm going to be here with you, okay?" Alec said as he tried to reassure Magnus a little. Gently stroking his cheek as he kissed the other one.

"Okay. Thank you," Magnus whispered, wrapping his arms around one of Alec's as they stepped out of the elevator and headed down the corridor to Izzy's home. Alec reached out to knock on the door but Izzy was already there and swung it open.

"Hey, guys. What's up? Why are you stopping by so late?" Izzy asked. The panic clear in her voice.

"Something has happened and we need to speak with Simon about it," Alec sighed as they stepped through the door and headed to the couch. Magnus still with his arms wrapped around Alec's arm. He was able to see the concerned look on Izzy's face as she looked at him.

"Hey, Iz said you needed to tell me something?" Simon asked confused as he came out of the kitchen and sat opposite the pair on a chair. Izzy came over and sat down on his lap too.

"Someone broke in," Alec started before holding his hand up to stop the questions he was about to receive from his sister and Simon. "We don't know who it was but basically we think someone broke in earlier that morning because when I went out and Magnus woke up, he thought he saw someone standing in the corner of our room. Of course, he dismissed it because he had just woken up but when he looked again the figure was gone. Anyway... we had a little disagreement and I went out. He fell back asleep on the couch and when he woke up he thought he saw the same figure but again it was gone when he looked back. When he tried to get up because I had come home, his leg was hurting and he had a cut on it. I decided to take him to bed so we went to our room but there was writing on the walls in red paint..."

"What did it say?" Simon asked with a frown. He had listened quietly enough but now he was too annoyed to let Alec finish first.

"'Gays go to hell!' But in capital letters," Alec sighed. "That's not all. I left Magnus in the room and went to check around the apartment after I had phoned the police and I was attacked. I didn't see who it was as they ran out and I blacked out. I didn't wake up until I felt Magnus shaking me."
