"I'll have the same, medium rare steak please"
Jake smiles handing back mine and his menus "and for you miss? How would you like your steak done?" The waiter says scribbling down Jakes request "well done please" I smile as he nods and writes it down before walking away.

"So, your online profile says your a doctor?"
I ask trying to start up a conversation again. He nods which I plaster a smile at, liar.

As you probably could tell I wasn't too happy when Tony's job for us was basically me going disguised on a date with my ex boyfriends little brother. Just my luck it would happen. Luckily Jake doesn't recognise me at all as I've only met him once as Bowie when me and Scott went out.

"Correct, I work here in Austin. I just got my degree last year" He smiles taking another sip of his wine as I nod looking around the restaurant for something else to talk about.

"Darling, we have information on him here. You know he isn't a doctor it's a cover story, but we may also think he doesn't know about what Scott and his Dad were trying to do to us" Harry mumbles in my ear, my heart soaring as I hear his voice. My nerves settle back down as he mentions he probably doesn't know his family is tracking us all down.

"Tony thinks he has a cover story as his usual job isn't exciting, he's a cashier at a gas station" Harry says again as I listen closely not making it too obvious. "Looks like he isn't daddy's little boy, Scott was welcomed into the gang while Jake wasn't, he's too soft" Niall adds.

"So, do you have any hobbies?" He asks as I drape my shawl over the back of my chair. I nod as he smiles waiting for me to talk more "I like to paint, actually wanted to be an artist" I say with a smile, I'm not lying, I wanted to be an artist.

"Fascinating. What made you get into law instead of art?" He asks as he tops up our glasses as he speaks. "Careful Bowie, he's had complete control over that wine bottle, don't drink too much incase somethings slipped in" Harry says sounding weary of Jake's actions.

"My Dad works in law, him and my Mom were never keen on me perusing art as they thought it wouldn't get me anywhere in life, I've enjoyed law more than I thought" I smile as I take my hand off my wine glass crossing it over the other on the table.

"My parents were the same, always thought whatever I wanted to do was useless, main reason I became a doctor" he smiles taking a sip of his wine as I watch him not drinking any more of mine.

"Surely if he's drugged that wine he'd be drugged too" Niall says talking to Harry as his voice rings through my ear. "Different drugs do different things Niall, never underestimate a gang leaders son" Harry answers him as I listen to their conversation.

The waiter comes back both hands holding our dishes. "Medium rare steak, and a well done steak for you miss" he smiles placing down my dish in front of me my mouth watering at the sight. He grabs a small bowl of salad from his arm which was balancing as he walked. "Thank you" I say sweetly to him as he nods before walking away leaving us to eat.

"If you don't eat all that, get it to go my mouth is watering so much it's going to flood this car" Niall mumbles as I feel his gaze on me from outside as I begin cutting a chunk off the steak.

"Excuse yourself to the bathroom Bowie, I forgot to tell you about how to use the vial of Ricin" Harry says over the ear piece as I mentally groan as I was enjoying my food.

"I'm just running to the ladies room, I'll be right back" I smile getting up laying my napkin on the table as Jakes smiles as nods at me "just through that door and down the hall" he says pointing at a door frame leading to a smaller hallway.
