*2* "Compliments of the gentleman at the bar..." (Sylar)

Alex's P.O.V
I had a strange feeling about the guy in the watch repair shop, Gabriel. Kind of like he didn't belong, but to what I didn't know. The day at work had been pretty uneventful. I made tea and filed papers for uptight solicitors for a living, so I was never going to do or be anything special. But I wasn't going to let that get me down tonight. My brother's best friend Tyler (or TJ as we usually call him) is a boxing coach, and his guy just won a HUGE fight...don't ask me...I hate boxing. Even so, a group of us are going out to celebrate. TJ is one of my closest mates too. The problem is that my partner in crime Krissy is bringing her boyfriend Ryan. Krissy and Ryan have been dating since we were at school, even though Ryan is my brother's age- 3 years older than Krissy and myself. TJ has a "thing" for Krissy and is convinced that Ry is cheating on her. I wouldn't be surprised...once a player always a player. But we kept quite to keep the peace. Krissy knew how we felt but chose to stand by Ryan.
As soon as I got home I jumped in the shower. I could hear Schmeichel scratching at the door. I noted mentally that if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have seen Gabriel, of whom I seemed to be growing fonder of, despite only meeting earlier today. I decided to get him a treat next time I went past the pet shop. As I got out and put on my bath robe the intercom for my flat buzzed. "Hey its' me Alex" I heard Krissy's voice call. "Come on up, doors unlocked" I said as I buzzed her in.
After quite a few outfit changes Krissy and I were satisfied that we looked good. I went for a black and purple halter top and some tight fitting black jeans, while Krissy decided on a red flowing top and a black knee-length skirt. Ryan and Sean were picking us up from my flat and TJ was going to meet us at the bar with his newest champ. The boys arrived right on cue and we left For the bar.
About an hour and a half had passed since we arrived at the bar. Ry and Krissy were dancing and so, rather disturbingly were TJ and Sean. I busied myself with my mobile, wishing that I had someone to dance with. I heard a noise beside me, looking up to see a barman who handed me a drink. Jack Daniels and coke, my favourite "Compliments of the gentleman at the end of the bar" he replied to my bemused look. As I glanced across the bar the drink sender caught my eye. It couldn't be...could it?
Standing there casually against the bar was the watchmaker Gabriel Gray. But this wasn't the same Gabriel that I had met earlier. The knitwear had been changed for a pale blue shirt with the top few buttons undone and black trousers. His hair, which was meticulously combed this morning was in a "just got out of bed style." If I though he was cute this morning, he was downright gorgeous now! I looked at the table to find my mobile phone, thinking that the alcohol I had drank would give me the courage to speak to Gabriel. When I looked up he was gone. I saw the door swing shut and had a strange compulsion to go through it and see if the mysterious watchmaker was there. I grab my bag and make for the door. Once outside the cold air hits me like a slap. Maybe the guy I'd seen wasn't Gabriel after all? I see a shadow loom in the alleyway opposite me. It comes over me and engulfs me. I feel myself slipping and fell into unconsciousness. The last thing I see is a pair of hazel eyes gleaming at me and then the darkness takes over me.
