Where is Simon
"She'll bring those Demonhunters with her." Refael said and turned his sharp gazed into Barbara.
"They won't get past the front door.Even if they do, we've got them vastly outnumbered." Barbara said confidently to Refael.He walked inches away from the stuck Simon and she speaks again "Have you ever tasted Demonhunter blood? It's heavenly." She said smirking at him as she wanted to convince Refael and make him thirst for DemonHunters blood.
"I wouldn't know. Let's stick to the subjects. Isn't this the wrong time to be antagonizing the Clave?" Refael said reprimanding her as his gazed transferred to Simon and went back to Barbara."They are our best hope if Marcus really does a comeback." He added thinking the DemonHunters would help them if ever it happens.
"How much longer have I been at this than you?" She said rolling her eyes.
"Three,four-hundred ye--" he replied raising his brows innocently as if he was guessing.
"You weren't supposed to answer that."She exclaimed and Refael gulped."Suffice to say, she who controls the cup, controls the shadow world." She added and confidently winked at him. She then face Simon who's still stuck and walk towards him. She went behind him and circled him slowly as she touched Simon's shoulder and her touch went to his chest while staring at him thirstily."He's a tasty little morsel, don't you think?" She stared at Refael invitingly smirking.
"Barbara,him? Seriously!?" He frowned,could not believe what she just said.
"Remember chocolates? Sometimes the plainest candy shell has the tastiest center." Refael scoffs upon hearing her. She stared at Simon's neck seeing his fresh blood flowing into his veins while biting her lower lip thirstily "We'll see." She added and walked passed through Simon, Refael followed her by looking at her sharply. She then snapped her fingers and Simon continued speaking as if nothing had happened. He has completely no idea that he's been stuck for a moment.
"... So I'd be happy to pay for the whole new jacket." He said as he moved his and in a circle motion. Refael irritatedly scoffs and shook his head walked out of the room. The blood on Simon's forehead are slowly dripping.
"Don't worry my little caramel. Everything.will.be. just. fine." Barbara said seductively to Simon as she walked near him and licked the blood on his forehead, again. Simon nervously chuckles.

Meanwhile at the headquarters…
Monroe went to the surveillance area that is followed by Jade,Alex and Izzy. She was walking quickly through the hologram screens, she's nervous upon thinking about what might happen to Simon at the Vampires hideout. She looks pretty distracted.
"Uh, look at all this stuffs, these screens." She turned around and faced the three."I mean, can any of this help me find Simon?" She added desperately. "Where is he, anyways? Some kind of crypt in Transylvania?" She asked them as they reached the table at the center.
"Actually,no. That was Barbara's outfit, right?" Jade replied to her and asked Alex in front of him while Izzy was sitting on the edge of the table and her feet was on the chair...
"They are locals." Alex said casually.
"They're at the Hotel Vamps down in Cansevoort street." Izzy added.
"And we came back here? Why? We have to go there. Let's go,now! Come on." Monroe said without hesitation eager to save her best friend.
"We need a clave resolution for that."Alex said to Monroe as she is about walk.
"The four of us can not declare war on the vamps all by ourselves." Izzy added while staring at her.
"And we can't react without considering our options. Downwolders are slaves to their impulses. We are not." Alex added as they have to think of a plan and possibilities. Monroe gritted her teeth upon hearing Alex.
"Alex, you can't stomp on all downwolders." Izzy reprimanded her brother.
"Oh, that's right. Seelies have their charms, apparently." Alex smiled. Izzy giggled and Jade agreed to Alex about seelies.
"Seelies?" Monroe asked in curiosity.
"Like faeries.The fair folk. Add pixies,nixies, elves… anybody half angel,half demons. It's pretty much a catch-all term." Jade explained to her while looking directly into her eyes.
"Izzy can tell you all about them. She's got a thing." Alex said glancing at Izzy's direction and chuckles.
"We've all got our thing, don't we?" She replied to her brother jokingly and giggled.
"Okay, I can't listen to this. Simon's been kidnapped by Vampires." She walks away from the table and added " I guess I'll just take care of it by myself."and she walked quickly to go out of the room.
"Monroe, you will get yourself killed,Monroe!" Jade called her and she didn't stop until " Simon too." She stopped upon hearing Simon's name. She then walked back to the table and replied "then help me." She said to Jade and stamped on the table. "While we consider other options, my best friend is suffering." Jade gulped and looked away."Is that something a DemonHunter could understand or I'm just being a mundane?"she blurted out to Jade.
She raised her brows as she waits for an answer. Jade glimpsed at Alex and Izzy they weren't talking too. He sighed and said "She's right." He agreed. He signalled them to come closer and said "they made the first move. We're gonna take care of this ourselves,right now." He said in a low tone of voice so that no one could hear them.
"This is a bad idea…I" Alex contradicted and stamped the table.
"What, have you got a better one?" Jade interrupted and looked at Alex, he gulped and just stared back at Jade clearly have no idea"look, the Vamps broke the accords. They kidnapped a mundie. That's a big no-no. The clave will give us a lecture and then they'll be glad we did it." Jade added and glanced at them one by one "come on" and smirked.
Izzy nodded her head as a sign of agreeing to Jade's opinion
"Even if we went ahead. I don't see how will we get out of here without having to explain where we're going. We need weapons and we can not let anyone see us get them." Alex said directly to Jade reminding him. Jade looked away and thinks for a moment.
"I know where to get what we need." He said and smirked hesitantly. Monroe felt alive hearing those.
They all went to a churchyard as it is where Jade suggested to get weapons they were using Simon's van Monroe as the driver. It was dark and foggy when they arrived there.
"Who's grave is it?" Alex asked as soon as they got out of the van.
*Sighs* "Mary Magdalene,born July 2,1802. Died, July 2, 1878." Izzy said one by one as she read the informations her phone.
"All right, Alex, let's go." Jade turned his gazed to Alex who's behind him.
"Wait, what are we looking for again?" Monroe asked.
"Cache of weapons." Izzy replied excitedly
"Stashed here with Mrs. Magdalene." Jade added. While observing the surroundings.
"Why are there DemonHunter weapons in a churchyard?"Monroe asked again out of curiosity.
"Because all of the ancient religions recognized demons. Or atleast, they used to." Izzy replied and glanced at her.
"They forgot about the threat because we've been her protecting them. Typical mundane failure of imagination." Alex added while eyeing on the surrounding.
"Are you saying we did too good a job?" Izzy stopped walking as she said those words to her brother. And Alex also stopped and turned his gaze to Izzy." you just can't let up, can you? You're unbelievable!" She said annoyed.
"You know what?"Jade interrupted the two as they are about to start an argument." Alex, why don't you go check out by the angel?" He ordered Alex with an irritated voice. Alex stared at him and walk to the other side of the yard. Izzy on the other hand turned around to check behind them.
Jade faced Monroe again and sighs "We couldn't gear up at the headquarters, but we know our ancestors left a cache around here. We'll find it." He said as he crossed his arms.
Alex went to an angel statue encircling it and continued checking the other angel statue. Izzy was on her phone checking for a possible grave of Mary Magdalene in the churchyard.
"I always wondered where my father was buried. *Sighs* I used to wish he was still alive.Be careful what you wish for." She said boldly and looked away. Jade stared at her with pity in his eyes.
"This isn't your fault." He said comforting her.
"This is all my fault." She refused to listen that made herself more miserable.
*Tingtiliting* Izzy's phone beeped. "Excellent!" She exclaimed. Jade and Monroe turned their gaze at Izzy who's smiling widely. "He's home. I'm outta here." She said and tilted her head and walked backwards.
"Wait, aren't she coming with us?"Monroe asked Jade while eyeing Izzy's back. Izzy heard it so she turned her gaze to Monroe and said "oh, I wouldn't miss it for the world, but I gotta find out how to get into vampires lair." And she continued walking sexily.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Jade said to Izzy without looking at her. She just wave her hand as a response.
"Jade...over here!" Alex called.
