Chapter 2 - Gabriel-Two months earlier

Gabriel was bored. For the past two weeks he had been forced to follow some small little brunette around from her job at a hospital to her home and back…she never went anywhere, never had a night out….the problem was no mater how boring her life was he felt a thrill every time he saw her and that really pissed him off. "Drake is there a point to me being here?" the radio crackled as his partner laughed "Gabe the point is to make us suffer , they're trying to bore us to death" the chuckle had a distinct bitterness that only Gabe would recognise. Smiling ruefully Gabe replied" You do realise this is your fault right? If you hadn't seduced the bosses wife we wouldn't be on babysitting duty?" The sigh on the line was only slightly guilty " Hey you covered for me, its not my fault you sucked at it and we got caught". Gabe lifted a brow and grinned "bro we'd have been fine if you hadn't walked out of the senators bedroom buck naked with his wife's lipstick all over your dick ," a sight he wished he could forget. "I gave you the 5 minute warning and tried to delay him with pointless security questions an amateur could have answered. Did you listen, course not! So not only did I make myself out to be a complete moron but you got caught anyway. You owe me big time" The sound Drakes laugh hissed over the line again " Complain all you want but don't think I haven't noticed you've got the hots for her, I can practically feel the heat pour off you from here every time she appears" A denial automatically sprang to his lips, only to suppressed a second later. What was the point, Drake noticed everything, it's why he was the best at the job. Hearing no reply from Gabe, Drake turned his binoculars on the car discreetly parked amongst the trees on the opposite side of the street. Surprise showed on his handsome features, his emerald green eyes showing slight puzzlement as he trained his sights on his partners face. Gabe had never shown emotion of any kind towards the opposite sex...barring one years before.. so seeing the flush of embarrassment that currently tinted his cheeks actually shocked him. "Hey man, I was kidding, I didn't realise you were actually feeling the chick. You know you haven't got a shot , She's the senators daughter. Not being bad bro but even if you weren't exiled shes way out of your league"..

Gabes sigh came across the line.."I know I'm a freak of nature, she wouldn't have me anyway, in hiding or not shes practically royalty it goes against the code for her to even speak to a half breed like me.... doesn't stop a man from dreaming" Hearing this Drake was about to jump to his defence when a car came screaming round the corner heading straight for the woman in question as she crossed the street, her scream echoing in the darkness.
