CHAPTER 3: EXCUSE ME MISS

Even though Gabriel had other important factors that he had to take care of, he couldn't get Elle off of his mind. He began to try and relocate Elle when he felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. It was his potential buyer. He reluctantly took the call as he stepped towards the balcony.

"Hello?" he said.

"Mr. Sylar I presume?" the dark voice on the other line stated.

"Obviously dumb ass. You were the one that called me." He snapped.

"Is that the way you handle your potential buyers Mr. Sylar?"

"No that's the way I handle people who waste my precious time. You've obviously called for a reason. Now let's get straight to the point, do you want to procure a certain object which I obtained or not?" he heard the person on the other line sigh.

"Alright I'll ignore your rude manners for the time being. What's your asking price?"

"Well…………it is a known fact that the beautiful Isadora diamond's net worth is somewhere around that of twenty-five million. So once you calculate interest and the cost of labor and everything that I had to use in order to retrieve her, your total price comes out to, oh I don't know, say a cool thirty-five mill." He calmly stated, making sure to point out the amount he wanted.

"Are you kidding me?" you could hear the anger in the buyer's voice.

"Well if you think she's worth more than that, tell me now and I'll raise the price by another five million." He warned.

"No! Thirty-five million it is."

"Good. We have a deal."

"So do you want the money transferred into an off shore account?"

"Let me worry about that. Now is your contact here to give me the information about this new job you want me to do for you?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes. Head towards the bar. A man should pretend to bump into you and he'll hand you all the information that you need."

"Is it a disk of some sort?"

"It's a flash drive. He'll slip it into your pocket. I'll call you with further information soon."

"No. I'll be the one that calls you. Talk to you later." Gabriel snapped his phone shut and headed towards the bar. While on his way there he happened to noticed that the beautiful stranger that he meet in the elevator was sitting on the other end of the bar. Just then he was bumped into by a man and almost knocked down. Gabriel was furious, but tried to regain his composure once he felt him slip the flash drive into his pocket.

"Sorry man."

"Why don't you watch where the hell you're going!" he shouted. He proceeded to the bar where Elle was sitting when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned to see a woman eyeing him.

"Hey. I'm Mya. You want to do me the honor of dancing with me?" she asked. Gabriel looked at her before turning his attention back to Elle.

"No thanks sweetheart. My girl's waiting for me at the bar." Gabriel rejected her and left the woman feeling hurt. He walked up to Elle and was about to talk to her when someone beat him to the punch.

"Hey gorgeous. The name's Adam. I'd thought I'd give you that information so you can scream out the right name later on tonight. Can I buy you a drink?" he said arrogantly in his british accent. Elle turned to face this jerk that was making a grotesque pass at her.

"Listen Andy, was that it? Well whatever your name is I sure as hell won't be screaming it out tonight. Now if you value having your right arm I suggest you leave me the hell alone." She said before turning back to her drink. Gabriel had heard the entire conversation and couldn't help but laugh at what she had said. He was also amazed at how well she carried herself. Elle finished her drink and was still being harassed.

"Come on baby don't be like that." He said as he licked his lips. Elle overcame the urge to gag at the sight of the excuse of a man that stood before her.

"Excuse me miss, but is this guy bothering you?" asked Gabriel as he eyed Adam.

"And who the hell are you?" asked Adam. Feeling threatened, he straightened up.

Elle saw the change in Adam's posture and got up of her seat and gave Gabriel a slight hug. Although surprised by the gesture, Gabriel embraced her.

"Gabe!" she chimed.

"I was beginning to think that you stood me up." She said, as she took her place back on the seat. Adam was silent. Gabriel pushed him aside as he took the seat next to her.

"Thanks for keeping my girl company, but you're not needed. So why don't you do us all a favor and get lost, before I make good on her threat." Gabriel said blatantly. Adam eyed the pair.

"All right." He left the two alone and headed into the crowd in search of another, weaker prey.

Gabriel and Elle laughed for awhile until Gabriel decided to finish up the conversation that they started in the elevator.

"So what do I get for saving you from that asshole?" he asked.

"And who says you saved me? I'll have you know that I was doing perfectly fine before you got off your white horse."

"Ouch! Talk about hurting a man's pride and ego."

"Yeah, well that's what happens when you mess with me."

"And who are you exactly?" he inquired.

"You would like to know wouldn't you?"

"Yes, considering you deliberately used me to get rid of that guy." Gabriel turned his head to see where he had scurried off to. He found him talking to the girl that he had rejected earlier on in the evening.

"Would you look at that? I see he's found himself another victim."

"Are you going to save her like you saved me?" she said. He turned his attention back to her.

"So you've finally admitted that I saved you huh? Besides if she's stupid enough to go for that guy she deserves everything that comes her way."

"And here I thought you were a gentleman."

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

"Quoting Shakespeare now are we? Hamlet to be exact."

"Yeah. But if you'd prefer that I'd quote Romeo & Juliet, or perhaps another favorite of mine, don't hesitate to ask." He grinned and Elle couldn't help but smile and also blush a little. The love of Shakespeare was something that they shared.

"So do you go around quoting lines from Shakespeare to all the girls?"

"No. I only do that to the women that have a real effect on me." He looked at Elle with those incredibly alluring eyes of his. He undoubtedly had learned how to use them well. Soon Elle found herself enjoying this.
