1 " Is this Clarissa Fray?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, though not immediately identifiable.Clary twirled the phone cord nervously around her finger. " Yeees?" " Hi, I'm one of the knife-carrying hooligans you met last night in Pandemonium? I" m afraid I made a bad impression and was hoping you'd give me a chance to make it up to-" " SIMON!"
