Gabe had acted at the same time Drake did, or perhaps before even. Had the man tried to fire his weapon it would have clicked uselessly are the bullets black powder had been dampened to the point of uselessness. The men as they retreated probably felt dizzy and weak, supremely dehydrated. He had not stopped his lover from tossing the human through the window. The man had mal intent for his love and Drake had every right to defend himself. Gabe had been just about ready to stand up when they decided to beat a hasty retreat.<br/><br/>When Drake turned around he would see that the window was fixed, as waz the door they had broken down. There was no sign that any conflict had happened at all in the room. Gabe downs the rest of his drink and gets up. His body is dry as he exits the tub. Walking over, he pulls the vampire against his chest in a warm embrace, a tight hug. He felt as though Drake might need a bit of affection right then.<br/><br/>By the time he pulls back he is dressed. "Are we leaving to avoid the police or because of that fool?" He asks. The man didn't scare the angel. The only reason Gabe cared was the effect Dominic had on his beloved. Thia man had used, abused, and abandoned his precious vampire. That would.not be tolerated. He would not allow that ass to run Drake out of his favorite town.
