It would be a lie to say that Gabrielle was not amused by this mortal’s infatuation with her. As she led him, he followed her without hesitation. He looked as though his head were in the clouds, but his energy told her she was on his mind completely. In fact he looked so out of his that she could probably rip his arm off and he wouldn’t feel a thing. Hell, there was a good chance he might not notice at all and just bleed out.<br/><br/>“Here,” she said softly, seating him at a booth somewhere near the back. “Just sit here and relax for a moment. In fact, why don’t you order our drinks? I want you to surprise me.” There was enough privacy here for conversation, but it was also still somewhat in the action. A few heads turned to look at the two of them but they were paid no mind. No doubt, there were some people who were curious about why she chose the spot she did. The night was not going to last much longer. In a few hours at most, this place would close and everyone would go home. But that was why she had to act quickly.<br/><br/>Gabrielle started to wander off but stopped and glanced back at Christopher, “I will be right back.”<br/><br/>The first thing she needed to do was find Jake. Much to her relief, he was right where she left him, pretending to look like he had been waiting a long time when he spotted her.  “Well?” He propped an elbow up and looked at her curiously. “Give me the details, Princess.”<br/><br/>“What details? I just went for a walk,” Gabrielle started off casually. On the table was her appetizer she ordered, untouched much to her surprise. It was a trio, made for two or three people, of lobster tacos, fried potato skins, and what she assumed were mozzarella sticks. She decided to nibble on a potato first, as potatoes were one of those foods difficult to mess up, they were easy to eat. “I’m shocked you didn’t have one of these for yourself, Jake. These are quite delicious.”<br/><br/>“I had to deal with something, but now that you’re eating I’m hungry. Don’t mind if I do!”<br/><br/>There was a moment of silence, and then Gabrielle spoke again, “I need you to come with me for a moment, and keep it between us.” She made sure to keep a note of seriousness in her voice. He nodded, and she lead him close to where she left Chris, “Don’t stare. Do you remember when I told you that I felt someone, and about what I had seen online?”<br/><br/>“Yeah, of course,” Jake said with a nod, keeping his voice quiet.<br/><br/>“Well, I believe this man is the one I felt. He… he’s able to reach out to me.”<br/><br/>“How?”<br/><br/>“Well, do you remember that case years ago, where I had burnt you-know-who to a crisp? He was a boy back then, but he was the witness I told you about.”<br/><br/>Jake looked from Gabrielle to Chris, and then back to Gabrielle, “And you think he’s been tracking you, and hunting down the others?”<br/><br/>Gabrielle chuckled at that, “No, this man is… under my influence, to be straightforward about it.” It was true, after all, he truly was infatuated. She left out how deep said infatuation was though. It wasn’t important really, but it was also for Chris’s own safety that she left out some details. She still believed that his little search for her, and the emotions he felt, were innocent enough that she did not need Jake to prevent him from escaping anywhere.<br/><br/>“I can see that he is. You’re a beautiful woman, any man would be,” Jake said, smiling. “But surely you didn’t bring me here to be amused? I’m assuming he’s a threat.”<br/><br/>Gabrielle shook her head, “No. I don’t think this man poses any threat… I’m worried about… something else. If he was so passionate, and able to reach out to me with his emotions, surely somebody might have picked up on that.”<br/><br/>“And that’s where I come in?”<br/><br/>“Exactly, he had introduced himself as Christopher Windsor. See what you can find out, and keep an eye out around the city. That is all,” Gabrielle dismissed Jake and returned to where Chris was sitting.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” she said to him, propping her elbow on the table. “How about those drinks?”
