Look, I don't give a fuck about protocol right now.
Listen, Morris, I know you're torn between following Clave law and rescuing Izzy, but we can't just sit here doing nothing.
Right… so what should we do?..
We gather as much information as possible, devise a plan, and execute it. No matter what it takes. Do you understand?
Alright, first things first. We need to find out where Isabelle is being held.
Don't bother. Your father won't be able to help us. We need to rely on our own resources.
What? My dad can get us into any building!
Fine. Call him then. But remember, we can't trust anyone outside of our immediate circle. Especially not the Clave.
Calls dad Hello father! It’s me Morris how are you doing? Oh… oh no… Father?! Father say something! Frustration slowly fills Morris’ face. Ugh… come on father! Pick up! Starts to put the phone away
Morris, put the phone down. We need to focus on finding Isabelle ourselves. We can't rely on others to save her. It's up to us.
Why would they capture my sister!??
They didn't capture her because of her. They captured her because of us. Because we're shadowhunters.
Alec how could they capture her because of us!… That doesn’t make any sense
It doesn't make sense to you now, but trust me, it will become clear soon enough. We need to keep moving forward, focus on rescuing Isabelle.
Please explain further Alec
Fine. Isabelle stumbled upon something she shouldn't have. Something that puts us all at risk. The Clave wants her silenced, and they're using her as leverage against us.
Mhmm. Well then I guess we’ll just have to stop them
Damn straight. We're going to stop them, no matter what it takes. But we can't afford any mistakes. We have to be smart about this.
Good. Now, let's start by gathering any information we already have.
While Morris gathers the information, I'll start scouting out potential safe houses and forming a list of allies we can trust.
Dad its me, I need your help. Please answer.
Morris, I know this is difficult for you, but we can't rely on your father right now. We need to do this on our own. Trust me, we'll find a way to rescue Isabelle and bring her back safely.
D-dad!?? Come on pick up!! Looks worried
Morris, listen to me. We're not giving up. We're going to find a way to save Isabelle, even if it means going against the Clave. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to her. We'll find a solution together.
Yeah…I’m counting on it Alec…
Alright, now that we have the location, we need to formulate a plan. We can't just barge in guns blazing.
First, we need to assess the number of guards, their weaponry, and the layout of the facility.
How many are guarding the place?
Morris, I've already taken care of that. I've been watching the place for the past few days, and I've counted a total of six guards stationed at the entrance. Two of them are armed with guns, while the others are armed with bats and clubs. As for the interior, I believe there are additional guards patrolling the hallways, but I'm still in the process of gathering that information.
I see…In his mind God, please give me strength.
Morris, I know this is tough for you. But we can't let fear consume us. We have to stay focused and determined. Isabelle needs us, and we can't let her down. Trust in yourself and in each other. We're going to get her back.
Yes Alec…I’m trying my best…Holds onto Alec hand for support
gently squeezes Morris's hand Thank you, Morris. I know this is hard for you, but I'm proud of you for staying strong. We'll get through this together.
Right. How exactly are we getting her back anyway?
We're going to need some additional help for this rescue mission. I've been in contact with some reliable sources within the Downworlder community.
Right..I think I saw a news report on this place yesterday. I think I remember seeing that they said there was only one person inside…your sister, and all of the guards were outside. So it shouldn’t be too hard…Right?
Morris, the news report may have been outdated. We can't rely on what we heard on the news. We need to gather our own information and formulate a plan based on that. Trust me, this won't be easy. We need to stay vigilant and be prepared for any unexpected surprises along the way.
pulls out a map and starts marking out potential entry points Alright, Morris. Here's what we're going to do.
