Letting out a breath, she climbed out of bed and sat at her desk, curling her legs underneath herself as she opened her laptop. It was then she remembered what Dmitri had told her a few days prior, about the bank robberies. The brunette thought she was doing a pretty good job at laying low but apparently she was wrong. Looking through the news stories, she nodded to herself, laughing a little when she saw their possible leads: all miles away from her and her family. She would never get tired of her ability to outsmart the police force. Running her hand through her long hair, she looked at the time and realized she should probably get some sleep for tomorrow's planned bank robbery.
Speaking of the bank robbery, she rolled her eyes, remembering she hadn't spoken to Valerie in a few days and how off the girl had been lately. Her attitude wouldn't be so strange if it wasn't Valerie but her willingness to kill security guards was a little worrisome and Helena couldn't figure out what was going, especially with how little her sister had been around lately. If she were on good terms with Sullivan right now, she would talk to him about it but she didn't want to talk to her younger brother any more than she needed to and right now, all that was needed was enough communication to get through the bank robbery and then she could return to ignoring his existence. But she wondered how long that would be possible. How long could she ignore Valerie's new hobby? How many more people would she have to kill before it became enough to talk to Sullivan about?
Helena pushed these thoughts away. She didn't want to think about her little sister killing people anymore. Although it might seem like Helena doesn't care for her siblings, she does but, growing up the way they did, she had her own way of showing it. Closing her laptop shut suddenly, she shook her head and climbed back into bed. These thoughts weren't doing her any good. Tomorrow the bank robbery would go just as planned, just like it did every time. And the body count would stay at zero, if Helena had anything to say about it. The brunette double checked her alarm before pulling the covers up to her chin, she closed her eyes and let herself drift to sleep.
