A/N: Just a short little update I decided to write while actively procrastinating. Let me know what you think.

From somewhere off in the distance, Sadie could hear a shrill, piercing noise, causing her to wake from what had been an otherwise very pleasant slumber. Sadie slowly pried her eyelids open only to immediately snap them shut again. She groaned and rolled over, burying her face in her pillow.

"I am never drinking again," she mumbled into the pillow. Her head throbbed and the incessant noise still rattled around the inside of her skull, keeping her from going back to sleep. The ringing suddenly stopped and Sadie smiled and sighed with relief.

Her relief didn't last long, though. Not two minutes later, the ringing started up again. Cursing and groping wildly at her bedside table, Sadie found her phone, the source of all her morning pain and suffering. Without looking at the caller information, she answered the call with a grumbled "what," not even bothering to lift her head from its resting place on her pillow.

The Italian on the other end of the phone was saying something. It sounded important, she figured, since all he had really said was a long string of "fucks" and variations of the word. Groaning again, Sadie pushed the hair from her eyes and rested on her stomach, head propped up on her hand.

"Roc, you gotta slow down, I have no idea what you're talking about," she said, yawning. She looked over at the clock on her table that read that it was half past ten. She covered her eyes wearily and took in a deep breath.

"Shit, fuck, girl! They're in jail!"

With that, Sadie's eyes went wide. She hoisted herself off the bed, now fully awake and frantically began looking for clothing in the mess that was the floor of her apartment.

"Meet you at yours in 15." With that she snapped her phone shut and hurriedly pulled on the nearest articles of clothing she could find.

Rocco pushed his way through the crowd that was forming around the steps of the police station. Hidden behind the pile of clothes in his arms, he managed to easily slip through. Behind him, Sadie followed closely, hair still a mess from her abrupt wakeup call. A police officer near the door seemed to recognize him, gave him a grin, and helped him with the door.

Rocco made his way to the holding cells in the back of the station. Sadie slowed up a bit, realizing the state she must be in judging by all of the looks from strangers nearby. She ran a hand quickly through her short hair, smoothing it down, and adjusted the sweater she wore.

"You sure you're in the right place, miss?" Sadie turned to see a young officer, dressed full regalia, smiling widely at her. She took a confused look around her and fixed his gaze with a questioning lift of her brow.

"Friends of mine got into some trouble apparently. I guess they're staying overnight so we brought them some clothes."

"Oh, the brothers?" the officer asked. Sadie nodded. "Yeah, they're all over the news already. Some thing they did, yeah?" His smile seemed to wane a bit at the mention of the twins.

Sadie, even under the cloud of a hangover of epic proportions and anxiety about her two closest friends, couldn't help but notice how attractive the young man before her was. He was clean-shaven, showing a strong, defined jaw. His eyes were a pale green that easily held her gaze. She smiled nervously up at him and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. She extended her hand and offered with a sweet smile, "I'm Sadie."

"Fuck, I thought you two would be someone's bitch by now," Rocco laughed, handing the brothers the clothes he had brought them. Connor punched him playfully in the arm.

"Thanks for comin', mate," he said, looking over the fabric in his hands. After spending most of the morning being beaten or interrogated in his boxers, he was very grateful to see a pair of pants.

"Oh, and I almost forgot," Rocco said, pulling something from underneath his shirt. He pulled out the brothers' matching rosaries. Connor and Murphy immediately smiled, accepting their cherished rosaries and placing them to hand around their necks. Murphy gave Rocco a grateful pat on the back.

Rocco looked around him. "Where the hell did that girl go?"

Pulling on his jeans, Murphy asked, "Who do you mean?"

"Sadie. She came with me to see you guys. You're probably in for a good verbal assault."

Connor looked behind Rocco, his eyes falling on the girl in question. Her back was turned toward him, but he could see she was talking to a young police officer. He was casually leaning against the wall, smiling down at her. He could hear the light sound of her laughter over the hum of the station and saw her fidget with a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Looks like she got a bit distracted," Connor said, chuckling to himself. Murphy's eyes shot up from buttoning his jeans and looked in the direction his brother nodded toward.

"Who the fuck's Captain America over there?" Murphy spat out, annoyed. The man looked like a ponce with his ironed shirt and stupid policeman's hat.

Connor just laughed at his brother and rolled his eyes, finishing up the buttons on his jeans. Murphy watched as Sadie shook the man's hand and turned away, smiling sweetly. As she walked toward the cell, she looked back to the man and gave a little wave. Murphy's eyes narrowed as he watched the man blatantly stare at Sadie's retreating form.

When she caught sight of them, Sadie started walking a little faster, a broad grin on her face. Pushing her way into the cell, she abruptly threw her arms around the twin, pulling them both close. Connor gave Murphy a relieved look and the two embraced the girl in their arms. Pulling back, Sadie raised her arm and forcefully slapped Murphy's chest.

"You fucking idiots! What the hell were you two thinking?" Murphy rubbed his chest and gave a weary look to his brother. Apparently they weren't going to get out of it that easily. Sadie's fist connected with Connor's arm, causing him to cry out in pain, cradling his injured arm.

"Sade, it was self defense," Connor offered.

Her eyes went wide. "You jumped off the fucking roof, Connor! You could have been killed! Both of you!"

Still rubbing the spot she had hit him, Murphy said, "Well I definitely would have been killed if it weren't for Con here."

Sadie let out a resigned sigh. "Yeah, Bryce told me what happened."

Confused, Rocco asked, "Who the hell is Bryce?"

Sadie blushed a bit. "Oh, that police officer I was talking to. He told me what happened."

Connor gave a smirk, "Oh, that police officer you just met who you're already on a first name basis with?" Sadie narrowed her eyes a bit, grinning, and slapped him on the arm again. Connor let out a dramatic "ouch" and smiled back at her.

"Bryce," Murphy scoffed under his breath. What a stupid name.

Sadie looked down at her feet and chewed on her bottom lip. "Look, I'm sorry. I know you were just protecting each other. But would it kill you two to be a bit more careful? Don't think I don't know about what you did to those Russians last night."

Connor and Murphy both gave sheepish looks, as if they were being scolded by their mother. Hell, sometimes it felt like Sadie was their mother.

She let out another sigh, "But, that being said, I have to admit I'm pretty impressed. I mean, you did jump off a roof to save your brother."

"Hey, I wasn't completely helpless," Murphy said, trying to defend his honor.

Sadie laughed and nudged him with her elbow. "Yeah, don't worry, I heard about the heroic rescue of Connor here after he took his foolish leap of faith."

Connor huffed a bit. "Point is, I'm just glad you're both fine." She pulled Connor to her for a hug, then Murphy. They said their goodbyes and Sadie and Rocco left the cell, where they were greeted by catcalls from some of the other inmates. As Rocco stopped at one of the cells to chat with what seemed to be an "associate" of his, Sadie turned back to smile at Murphy. He rested his forearms on the bars of the cell and gave her a wave as she turned and left the station.
