Alec POV

Fuck! Where is she?

It's been 2 hours since Maverick went missing and Simon got kidnapped. The first thing Clary asked when she got back from the Silent Brothers was "where's Simon?". When I told her that her sister was missing she didn't even care. Like what type of sister is she?

Maybe I shouldn't have told Maverick that we should stay away from each other and then she'd still be here by my side. I didn't even realize she was gone until Clary and Jace went down to see the Brothers.

I tried tracking her but it didn't work. It deflected somehow and now I'm restless. I never realized the toll it would take on me knowing that she wasn't with me or near me. This reaction of her missing has shaken me to my core.

Izzy has the smart idea of going back to the institute to help Clary find Simon but I could give two shits about the mundane and the selfish Redhead, I just wanted to find Maverick .

I know how stupid I sound wanting her now after I told her off, but she's my girl. She might as well be my girl since my name is burnt into her skin. Walking back into the institute all I hear is Clary yapping about us finding Simon, not one word she said related to finding her sister.

"You're right. Humans. You protect humans. You left Simon all alone in the van. Great job, guys. You rock."
Clary says annoyingly.

"There is some truth to the idea, that human beings should have a modicum of common sense."
I snare at her as she scoffs.

"Alec. Not now."
Izzy says.

"Why not? While y'all are tending to this child and her wants, I'm trying to find Maverick, the only one who out of all of you that has common sense. She is missing and I rather not look for a mundane while she's gone. And it isn't making it any better that this little girl doesn't even care that her older sister just vanished."
I growl out feeling my anger rising the longer I stare a Clary and realizing Maverick's really gone.

Maybe if I watched her or didn't say what I did, she'd still be by my side making slick comments about Clary. Though she's only been gone for a couple of hours, it feels like she's been gone for days. Maybe I can figure out why our names were magically burnt into each other's skin.

"Uh, look at all this stuff, these screens. I mean, can any of this help me find Simon?"
Clary says stuttering as she dismiss what I said about her sister being missing and going back to worrying about Simon.

This is really showing me what type of person she is. Maverick could be getting tortured or worst, dead. And all she's thinking about is Simon.

"Where is he anyway? Some kind of crypt in Transylvania?"
Clary says as we follow her to the table.

Why did I have to get stuck with them. They aren't even worried about Maverick. Jace has this thing for Clary and Izzy is following them like a puppy. Yes, Maverick is a Shadowhunter but I don't know what or who took her.

"Actually, no. You all seen Camille's outfit, right? They're locals. They're at the Hotel DuMort, down on Gansevoort Street."
Izzy says.
