Anchor : Jonathan Morgestern

Chapter 34

"Hello" Sebastian greeted coldly.

"Jonathan" Valentine greeted back and Clary's eye widened, out of everything she was expected this was not on her list; Sebastian Verlac is her brother Jonathan Morgestern, 'Well Shit.'

"Father"

Jace's eyes widened despite the fact he knew about Jonathan's identity because this was a rough bargain and a not-so-great way to tell Clary about his real identity.

"You are alone I suppose?"

"You suppose correct, Am I to assume you need something from me?"

Jonathan replied smoothly his voice still ice cold.

"Straight to the point, I see. Of course I should have expected this since I practically raised you. You aren't the sentimental type or emotions type; if I may ask how is your mission in Idris going on?"

Clary observed as both Jace and Sebastian-no Jonathan rolled their eyes at Valentine's speech, honestly the man loved to hear himself speak though she was not shocked to see that Jace does not seem surprised which implies that he knew about Jonathan's identity though it does explain their sudden bonding.

She watched in anticipation as Jonathan began to reply,

"It's going perfectly as my plan, though I gather you did not call to inquire about petty missions or my welfare, you and I both know I can take care of it by myself and the fact that you do not care about anyone except for yourself which does not disappoint me for a second."

Clary hummed in understanding, her brother is as sneaky as they come as it did not escape her attention that he said 'according to his plan' not according to Valentine's plan which showed Valentine's overconfidence in Jonathan's loyalty.

"Yes as you wish, report to me about last week's mission in Paris."
Valentine commanded cautiously.

"Everything is going as planned; I have vampires' allegiance as you know I can be quite convincing when I want besides Clave is hardly considering your threat lurking in the shadows ready to strike; if I may how is your task going father?"

"I have yet to find out more about mortal mirror. Though I already knew the situation with the Clave, my spy is competent it seems after all, anything else?"

Clary saw Jonathan contemplating whether tell Valentine or not, but she supposes he should tell him if it's important because if Valentine out from his spy then Jonathan's loyalties would be questioned.

"Your ex-wife woke up last night."

It did not miss Clary's attention that her brother regarded their mum as Valentine's ex-wife but she could not blame him after what her mum did.

"Oh" Valentine replied completely off guard with the news not expecting the news at all.

"Yes" it took few seconds for Valentine to recover much to the amusement of the trio.

"Did she recognize you?"

"Of course not, do you think of me as a fool?" Jonathan sneered openly only a fraction of his hatred for Valentine visible on his face.

"No, now answer me Jonathan..." Valentine started asking in a scary tone which scared both Clary and Jace but Jonathan was worried they could see though Jonathan was trying to hide it and act like it did not bother him, "What happened to Sebastian Verlac?"

Now both Clary and Jace could see Jonathan sweating meaning he is still alive and Jonathan will have to lie to Valentine which worried Clary and Jace as they knew Valentine was good at detecting lies.

"The guy's been dead for months, I killed him and chopped his parts and dumped him in different rivers, why do you ask? Are you questioning me?"
Jonathan's voice took a scary turn as if he was angry at being questioned when he just lied to his ears as Valentine could not see him.

"I am merely confirming as recently one of my circle member saw a man who looked similar to him in Austria."

"Doesn't surprise me there are many black heads in Austria though I suggest eye checkup for your members unless you are suggesting a dead man was reincarnated which is impossible."
Jonathan said slowly as if talking to a five year old and Jace and Clary did not even try to hide their laughter as they had runes on them.

"Very well, I was just confirming. Report if anything happens."

"Of course." Jonathan replied smoothly before hanging his phone and sighing in relief and wondering out loud, "Why haven't I got Oscar for my acting yet?" then flushing after realizing that he said that out.

After calming down slightly he started dialing another number in urgency, though neither Clary nor Jace had a clue who was trying to get in contact with.

Jonathan video-called someone, the duo realized when the call was answered by a beautiful brunette woman who smiled and said, "Hey Jonathan."

"Hello Amy."
