The hangover had hit the triplets hard.
Roxanne reached out to the left of her bed only to hear a grunt as her hand smacked someone. She blearily opened her eyes to find Cain standing there looking annoyed beyond measure but still with a glass covered in condensing water and tablets in his other hand.
Roxanne stuffed her face back inside her soft and warm blanket before it was ripped out from her hands from the other side. She didnt even have to open her eyes to know it was Loman doing the act. Mumbling a few profanities under her breath she gently took the water and tablets from Cain gulping them down as quickly as she could without her gag reflex kicking in.
Loman just offered a wobbly smile taking the glass and spare tablets from her and gulping them himself.
"Come on, we missed breakfast so brunch is laid out for us in the dining hall" Cain informed while handing Rox a brush for her hair and pushing her into the washing room while dragging Loman back to his.
They had carried a passed out Loman up to their penthouse and then crashed in Rox's room because it was on the lower floor. Roxanne would not have called dibs on the room if she knew every night out would result in a triplet sleepover and them hogging her bed.
As kids, the triplets all had separate rooms but Loman or Cain would usually be found in each other's while Roxanne was always kept busy by their mother. For Cain and Loman the night outs were an excuse to give Rox what she had missed out during their childhood, Rox was completely unaware of this sentiment of course. She did not know that even passed out Loman would wake up sometime in the early hours of the night and cover her delicately with the blanket and then cuddle her like a burrito. Cain would do so too, knowing she got colder at night more than the normal person; it was something to do with her nightmares as child but they never probed and she never said anything.
The dining hall was also a mix blacks and greys as the siblings entered it. Roxanne saw a plate of pancakes being placed in front of her, bare other than the berries she preferred on them. Loman had his usual French toast drenched in maple syrup and Cain helped himself to some simple scrambled egg and toast. The three silently ate their respective meals when Roxanne felt bile rise up in her throat. She rushed out to the nearest powder washroom ignoring the surprised calls of her brothers.
She heaved the contents of last night and her pancakes groaning and slumping down to the cool marble flooring. She felt the butler come up behind her to stroke her back while her brothers' concerned gaze pierced her back.
"Im fine" she muttered out as an attempt of comforting only to bend over and dry heave into the toilet again.
"Are you pregnant?" Loman whispered out making Rox choke on her own saliva while she glared at Loman
"NO genius" she choked out taking the support of the butler to raise back on her feet. she smacked Loman lightly on the head ignoring his pout and Cain's smirk.
"I was just asking" the pouting kid muttered out making Roxanne roll her eyes.
The butler simply placed a glass of water with mint leaves in front of her as she smiled gratefully; the smile was returned by the old man who had already seen his young miss hurl way too many times from overwork. He was the only one ever present in the house when Roxanne chose to venture out of her room at ungodly hours. The young miss was only a genius when it did not come to her own self.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roxanne was working on another one of her whack ideas, this one was to eradicate a hangover before it even began. Her chemical engineering courses better come in handy right now.
Instinctively her gaze drifted to one of 10 monitors showing her the live camera footage of her hideout, office and house. Her gaze caught on to atleast 8 muscular build people carrying arms surrounding her office doors. The office she was currently working in. Alone.
Roxanne involuntarily let out a sigh and slid the bottom drawer open, she lifted the fake bottom of the drawer and grabbed one of the loaded guns. She gripped on the silencer, opened a few buttons of her collared shirt and walked out. Her heels clicked against the flooring, deeming them a distraction she shook them out and continued her way to the doors she saw the men at.
The door however was already cracked open, how the fuck did the alarm not ring out. They knew the code, again, how the fuck?
she could feel all her senses sharpen, what she couldn't see she would hear. She could hear their boots click against the ground, 3 to the left, 1 outside, 3 to the right and 1 in front of her, his back to her sight. Amateurs
She quickly shot the one in front of her, holding his collar before he could fall and make a noise alerting the others. Time to deal with the one outside. she repeated her actions and finally moved to the group on the left which would lead them to her paperwork. the paperwork that took hours to finish, no fucking way are they rummaging through all that and ruining her work. She made quick work of shooting all three in the back of their heads without them even being able to open their gunfire.
Roxanne wanted to see what they actually wanted to achieve by breaking in here, whoever tipped them off either knew she was here and did not know she could deal with them or did not know she was here and sent them to get something. During the altercation some blood had splattered itself on her grey shirt (had to happen the one day she doesn't wear black). Her senses led her to the other 3 who were rummaging through her current handiwork; oh for fuck's sake.
she was getting irked the more they kept rummaging, she was working you know.
Finally after having had enough she shot two of the guys while the third was quicker than his companions, he succeeded in landing a shot on her left arm. Too bad for him she was right handed and could shoot precisely with one hand. She shot his gun-held hand as he dropped it in pained reflex. She shot his other arm and legs to get him incapable but still in state to talk.
"What are you here for?" she raised the gun to her head demanding an answer
"usually they ask who sent us first?" the guy chuckled, groaning in pain right after the action. Roxanne did not deem him with a response and instead just cocked an eyebrow
"Some person used a voice modulator and asked to get them something resembling a silver spider bracelet" the guy responded
"hmm, okay" she replied while shooting him point blank on the head
This is going to be a mess to clean up.
"Hey kitty?" she dialled her phone which was picked up in one ring
"hello Roxanne" a cheerful female voice replied back to her
"Im gonna need your services in my office asap"
"OOH I was wondering, its been a while since you've called" the girl, Kitty replied back
"yes well things were going pretty okay lately" Roxanne sighed
"don't worry boss, will be there in 15, same code?"
"same code"
Roxanne's fingers hovered over her favourite contacts. Nevermind, she shut her phone.
What they don't know won't hurt them.
