Les Twins' Princess

Sour Mood

The pain in India's back causes her to wince while she shifts on the couch. Desperately trying to get into a more comfortable position. India has been sitting on her computer, typing away furiously, for over three hours now. She had typed up so many codes that whenever she glanced up at Black Rose the different numbers, letters, and symbols clouded her vision. "India, what's going on?" Alexis (Black Rose) gazed nervously at India, her worry only doubling for her mother when it seemed like India hadn't heard her. Periodically India would look up and make eye contact with Alexis, but as soon as their eyes connected India would go back to typing away on her Mac book. It pained Alexis to see her mother like this, nervous and confused, those were emotions that had never crossed India's face while they were together. It caused a knot to form inside her belly, "Tell me what's going on." Alexis's voice came out shaky, nervous even. It caused a muscle inside her jaw to twitch and an itch to form on her right wrist, this is fucking ridiculous.

"For the love of God just te-"

"Rider is smarter than we thought, mon petit oiseau. He has someone at this very moment trying to track us down, but I'm trying to build as many walls between us and them right now. However whoever Rider has is a clever motherfucker, every wall I build he beaks it down with a quick click of a button." India looked at Alexis with a blank look, however that look told her so much, it was vicious. Her bright hazel eyes cut through her like the sharpest of blades, silencing any other comment she would have had conjured up.

Black Rose took a hesitant step back, it wasn't that she was intimidated or scared, it took a lot to scare Black Rose on the contrary. She was more scared for Chloe than anyone else, as well as Laurent an Larry. She didn't know exactly why she felt this way for these people, they were strangers after all. The only person Alexis truly knew was India, even then their relationship wasn't ordinary, and they are basically mother and daughter. Alexis blames what happened in the past for all of this, for her incapability to allow herself to trust other people. "Are you going to tell Laurent an Larry?" At the question India scoffed loudly, throwing Black Rose a weird look. India almost wanted to cackle at the mere thought of telling Larry and Laurent about this hacker trying to track them down. She barely got them to actually pay attention to their work life, and even then India had to literally threaten her cousins to go to their business meeting. She knows that Laurent and Larry want to be here and help with finding Chloe, however they can't just let everything around them go to shit.

"Black Rose and I have everything under control guys, we do this for a living for crying out loud! Don't insult us, we will get Chloe back. The plan is already made and perfected, we just need to figure out when we are going to get the ball rolling." India had told Laurent and Larry countless of times as she shoved them out of the hotel room and on their way to a business meeting. It pained India to give her cousins tough love when they're going through a situation like this, but it had to be done, both she and the twins know it.

India glances at Alexis once more before staring intensely at her laptop screen, "You already know the answer to your own question mon petit oiseau, don't be foolish and ask again."

Black Rose sighed, knowing that India was right. Even though she didn't agree with India on keeping information from Laurent and Larry when it came to Chloe, it was the best thing to do right now. Alexis honestly thought that the guys couldn't handle anymore stress, "Yes, I know India." With those as her parting words, Alexis turned around and walked out onto the balcony, letting the cool evening breeze take her mind off of things.

"So what we were thinking about your new clothing line is...."

Laurent and Larry both looked at their business partner with a blank stare, their minds in a totally different place. How were they supposed to get work done, when they couldn't even concentrate? They've been sitting in this office building for over two hours now, and are at a complete standstill, both mentally and creatively.
