Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 51- Revealed

Magnus was a mess as he sobbed on the floor of the bathroom. Alec had walked out and left him and he didn't know if he was going to come back. He prayed he would come back as he looked down at his engagement ring. He knew it was his fault that Alec left, and he didn't blame him at all. Magnus knew that the way he had spoken to Alec, the man he claimed to love above all else, that he had accused him, his friends and family, of having something to do with his fathers and Camille's murders and the harassment was over the line and he just wanted Alec home.

He got off the floor with a struggle and left the bathroom to find his phone. He needed to message Alec and apologise and beg him to come home. He found his phone on the bedside and went to call Alec when the door knocked and he sighed in relief. He guessed that Alec had forgotten the room key and came home as he rushed to the door and opened it.

Magnus froze on the spot when he saw that it wasn't Alec but two masked people with guns. He tried to shut the door quickly but they barged through and he fell to the floor. His head banged hard and he blinked up as one of them bent down and grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him up.

"W-Who are you?" Magnus asked in a panic as he tried to see who it was but knew it was impossible as the masks and the black hoods covered their faces entirely.

The one that had Magnus by the shirt only laughed as they threw him on the bed and Magnus knew it was a bloke. That it was a throaty laugh and knew that it if it wasn't a man, then it was a woman who smoked a lot. He scurried to the top of the bed and pulled his knees up to his chest and held them there. He tried to make himself as small as possible while the two figures just stood there and looked at him. The other with their gun raised at him while the other now had his arms folded.

"Where's this boyfriend of yours?" The man asked and confirmed himself as a man.

"I... I don't know... we argued and he left me" Magnus stuttered out. He just prayed now that Alec didn't come home. He didn't want him in danger.

"Aww, how pathetic. Daddy left you and then died. Camille left you and then died. Now your precious boyfriend has left you... maybe he will die and you will be all alone. Poor Magnus Bane. Alone and Pathetic" The man said bitterly.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Magnus cried out. His fears escalating that Alec could be hurt.

"Oh you don't know me but I know about you. About what you and your father done to Camille. You're both poisonous and deserve to die" He spat out.

"I...I didn't do anything" Magnus sobbed. "What do you mean? What did I do?"

"YOU BROKE HER HEART! YOU left her! Your father cheated on her and you both deserved to die" The man shouted. "YOU was meant to be in that car, not her! Daddy was meant to bail you out and then you two were supposed to make up and go on your annual trip to the car show but No! That Alec came running in and saved you! You never went on the trip and she died! It's all your fault she died! Yours!"

"I...But... Please... please don't hurt Alec. He is nothing to do with this" Magnus pleaded.

"I don't care. I think it's a perfectly acceptable trade. I lose her, you lose Alec" The man shrugged.

"No... please... no no... you can't... please don't... I'll do anyth—" Magnus was cut off as he was punched in his face and he slumped down onto the bed, completely out cold.

"God, he is annoying" The man groaned after he looked at Magnus who was knocked out.

— Alec—

Alec left the hotel room and cried as he walked the streets of New York. He couldn't help the feeling of betrayal from Magnus words as he went over the conversation again and again in his head. He hoped that Magnus hadn't meant it and it was just a way to help him deal with it. To take out his stress and worry on Alec.

He signed as he headed into a nearby coffee shop and ordered a black coffee before taking it to a table near the window so he could watch the world go by. The sound of people's heels that clipped on the sidewalk and people talking all around him in the shop. He listened to the sound of sirens from cop cars as they passed by the window and he sighed. He had been gone only thirty minutes and he already missed Magnus more than anything.

He pulled out his phone and went to call Magnus as he thought it would be best to ask to come home rather than turn up. However, as he went to call Magnus's number his phone rang and he jumped, not expecting a phone call. He looked down when he saw Mark's number and frowned.

"Mark? Everything ok?" Alec asked.

"Alec! Where is Magnus? Is he okay? You can't leave him alone" Mark rushed out down the phone.

"He's fine, he's at the hotel... why can't I leave him alone? I'm not with him now!" Alec gasped as he stood up and knocked the chair over as he rushed out, ignoring the woman shouting at him for it.

"What? Shit! Okay," Mark cursed. "You need to get home to him but be careful... I'll join you at the hotel"

"But what's going on... who is it? Mark? MARK?" Alec exclaimed as the line went dead and Alec shoved his phone into his pocket before he picked up speed and ran back to the hotel.

He was almost out of breath as he turned the corner onto the street where the hotel was but he didn't care. He had to get to Magnus, but his heart dropped into his stomach when he saw the police cars that were surrounding the place. The hotel tapped off to the public and an ambulance that was putting someone into the back of it by a stretcher. Alec didn't think as he ran there and gasped when he saw the black hair of the man before the doors shut and the ambulance took off.

"Who... Who was that?" He asked one of the hotel workers that was standing outside the taped off area.

"One of the security guards. Two people came in and shot him before getting the details to someone's room. I don't know who's room but everyone has been evacuated except them" The women explained. "She will know.."

Alec looked over to the receptionist and rushed over as he looked around for Magnus but his fears escalating more when he couldn't see him. The woman's face when she saw Alec didn't help either.

"Where is he?" Alec asked her.

"I... I'm so sorry Mr Lightwood. I didn't know what to do, they shot the guard and then aimed at me... and... and I didn't know... I called the police as soon as they left but they're in your room... Mr Bane is in there" The receptionist explained hysterically.

Alec wanted to comfort her but he was too worried about Magnus as he looked at the hotel and gripped his hair. He was furious at himself for leaving Magnus alone but also furious at everyone else for some reason. He looked around when he felt a hand on his shoulder and was about to snap when he saw Mark's worried face.

"They're in there aren't they," Mark said sadly as he looked at the hotel.

"Who is it? Who is doing this?" Alec asked him and frowned when Mark looked at him.

"Jonathon and Camille" Mark sighed and looked back. Alec's frown deepening as he turned to look at the hotel too, wondering what was going on and what was going to happen.
