Hanna was currently regretting every choice in her life that led her to this moment. Eyes shut tight, her arms tightly wrapped around her cousin's waist, the texture of black leather under her fingers and the roar of the traffic in her ears. Bright streetlights and glowing signs mixed in to a blur. Her heart beat faster with every twist and turn.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0jDQKERRo
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mYB1o40QT
Hanna thought Kayla drove like a maniac. She never should have gotten on to this motorcycle. Even though Kayla rode this bike everywhere, the practice somehow hadn't improved her driving skills.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TTfkLOBM
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa92nvVXW72
Hanna clutched on to her cousin tightly as they made a tight turn. She questioned for the umpteenth time why she decided to ride with Kayla in the first place. She could have driven her own car there and saved herself the queasy stomach. She tried to calm herself down as the vehicle came to a stop.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zkZX9QO84
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbENxNhRZxb
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGasNfJJoGr
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtNH51VUtc
"My eyes were open the whole time," Hanna retorted, climbing off the bike and pulling her helmet off. "I needed to know if I'd have to jump off at a moment's notice," she muttered.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARhmsaffdt
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFNEtxgK6v
Kayla pulled her helmet off and shook her hair up. Hanna saw she'd changed up her hairstyle. Kayla had straightened her hair and added in pink hair extensions, giving her hair bright pink streaks in stark contrast to her natural very dark brown.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Ety4ZCEC
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jMmmHgs5k
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewF6xb0eEX
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4QC9OE1XZ
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsLmb6DcqI
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh4YtwyC60
Hanna half-agreed with that. She was wearing flats tonight for a reason. The first time she'd ended up fighting in heels, right in the middle she'd ended up slipped them off and using them as projectiles. They'd been far more useful when they hit her opponent in the face rather than on her feet.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbQsIobDR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx5bHr3caG
Otherwise, she hadn't put in much thought into her outfit. She'd thrown on a loose low-cut red dress, short enough to blend in with the other party goers, plus her small black purse. She added gold eye-shadow and crimson lipstick at the last minute.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXg1d4qGhP
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRX4k4GYJW
Kayla had gone with a low cut tight pink top under her jacket and a dark red miniskirt. Her high boots completed her biker girl ensemble. Even with her minimal makeup, she looked amazing as always.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDHjhRBkbS
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa6YEoIXEp
Hanna turned her attention over to the club they were going to head into. The club had only opened up a couple months ago and she'd never been here before. On top of not being her usual scene, it was on the other side of the city and she preferred her usual haunts.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJAxSUK794
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOwJmxzqjw
The building had been an old warehouse before being renovated. The exterior had been left intact, giving the whole place a grungy vibe. The entrance was nothing more than an unmarked side door, the only indicator that it was a club being the line up of brightly dressed perspective party goers.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyNUY9QUUf
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGvVAlkHj
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPqnwhKLz
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKMU0we3JC
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6VfNhbzUd
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61E2BruU31
Kayla and Hanna shared a knowing look before approaching the building. They didn't have to wait outside for long, this wasn't one of the popular clubs of the city. The woman at the door requested their IDs, seeming bored. The two cousins showed their false ID cards and she gave them a passing glance before waving them inside.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnILIyw9NwG
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxakIk9eIJZ
They were greeted by a long hallway, sloped upwards and filled with black lights. The walls were covered in splatters of glow-in-the-dark paint. Hanna could feel the rumble of the dance music even now.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawoipLdFGc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwMGPbOXj4
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN6OwZuPD6
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Rh3R961n
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfDuwhiLOh
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCnaABYzIs
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWvOX4ccS1
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVDoLNqk6k
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FemzuJwoI
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0s7s3fZ5f
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwvFuz5JIp
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a1tnhpFHi
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF0FFyQNbt
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FP7UYfKz5
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR35N513E7
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaxnil0l2T
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtlBa4ybP6
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjTn04u0Xu
They walked through the clear plastic strips over the corridor's exit to be assaulted with a myriad of lights. Hanna blinked, the brightest of the room a shock from the tunnel. They had come out onto the second floor, with a great view of the whole place. They stepped up to the railing to take the place in.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANRzCsQC66
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtyHPwtEjk
It was huge, even had a second level with a bar on one side. The DJ was at the other end, coordinating the music with the spotlights dancing across the ceiling, with a huge crowd on the dance floor in front of them. The inside was alive with light, music and bodies. It was an utter contrast to the decor outside.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmxyW1Cp4i
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2QJksKP2B
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLYTLfNOPa
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoxiABwn3s
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVsxIIlKIk
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDc1Kz48h
"I don't think that'll be a good spot?" Hanna said, confused about why her cousin would want to plant the bug there. Nobody would be having important conversations on the dance floor.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEXvWOfmLU
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLom0JLBQF
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwf170FMRU
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtbjr12954
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHtYEHEu4m
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK55DA4jvyf
"Party pooper," Kayla teased. "Let's split, you go mope over there." Kayla waved aimlessly at half of the place. "And I'll conduct intense surveillance down there." She pointed down to an area of the dance floor.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DgBmbqonI
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65of0DMzCx
"Sure," Hanna said curtly, annoyed at her cousin already. She went left, towards the bar, while Kayla went down the right set of stairs to the floor. She wandered around aimlessly, keeping an eye out for anything that might be relevant to their task.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3bpQX4qm
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwMHPdk3w0
She walked by the bar on the second floor without ordering anything. The whole area was very open and unsuitable for any sort of private conversation. She wove around the standing-only tables to another staircase and made her way downstairs.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡposRCeegEH
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPz3pCQLNA
On the first floor, under the bar area, she noticed there was a darker area with tables and chairs. She couldn't make out what was at the back, there might be some more private section back there. A VIP area might be a good spot to plant the bug but it wasn't ideal.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1f1VI8W5K
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXy2oPz9mr
Hanna saw a couple men kissing off in a dark corner. She sighed. She had come here tonight to forget about her depressing love life. Her plan was not working. She tore his eyes away from the couple and turned towards the dance floor.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhJqxcOSFA
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROz24LGrlz
Hanna stuck near the wall, moving along slowly until she noticed an entrance off the side of the dance floor. There was no door, but the corridor made a sharp turn that she couldn't see past and there was some sign on the wall. It was unreadable from this distance.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwjboaZHLo
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHRRcc6Axr
She moved closer, moving through the crowd. The sign was marked 'Staff Only' so she found a spot to stand with a good view and waited, watching. She knew how to be patient when necessary. She bobbed up in down with the music unconsciously with the rest of the crowd.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiXHupeM0r
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwygbDXACjW
After a while, Hanna thought it was odd that no staff were going in or out. The two men in black shirts by the entrance hadn't moved since they'd gotten there. She suspected there might be something back there that might not be entirely legal. Their back room would be the best spot for the listening device and that seemed to be the most likely spot for it to be. She was sure they could find some way in there, after all, there wasn't even a door.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5bOJwUYuc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDFmNacieF
Hanna headed off to find her slacker partner. It wasn't a difficult task, Kayla's hot pink and black outfit stood out against the sea of neons and light colours. Hanna found Kayla grinding with a butch drunk woman, enjoying herself thoroughly. Leave it to Kayla to find someone without even trying. Hanna pulled her off her latest potential conquest.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OhUXFJSBV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3EE8MoXgZ
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDQ7qSNvtD
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjk57ZJVMh
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6EvD0YgKR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOi3LapVnB
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIaF3Bonpq
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71eJ5F6W1W
Hanna led Kayla over to the spot she'd been observing from. She watched Kayla's eyes dart over the scene, observing everything critically. Hanna watched as her cousin analyzed the situation.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDlzWBX0js
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6LA5y18Cn
"Take this." Kayla passed Hanna the bug, a small thin device about the size of a credit card. Hanna slipped it into her purse discretely.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdj7mllUvl
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZGxZLrHfw
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNmdpiDU7B
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x7qQBbO0w
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpNpVCumrF
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLAnI48Ygv
"How?" Hanna asked.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNz5bMqWcG
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbUUoninv6
Kayla gestured to her body.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar8d4sOIww
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9grIfIbS7H
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyxiiOEhrC
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMSMIlKphY
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AM6qsVHCM
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP5IuyS1g6
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzWnG3q9IK
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrDxGDDq1r
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA8a8r0dAX
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgboIYrUYjm
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDDAmd8c8H
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2UO98qgO6
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKSdhGY197
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPJjHokR3Y
"No-" Hanna noticed how the guards had already turned their attention to Kayla. She fingered the small electronic device in her purse. She huffed, turning back to get herself lost in the crowd. "Dammit," she muttered.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYrloxxHK5
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigR7K2U4kI
Hanna went to get into her position, reluctantly going along with the plan. She went to circle around to the other side, letting the crowd cover her. She snuck into the hallway easily while Kayla purposefully made a fool of herself.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91F0n9QvV2
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Ia1PILt9
This part of the building didn't have any club decor and looked older, unrenovated. It might have been an office area for the original warehouse. There were plain, unmarked doors on either side.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfew9rQ64h1
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrx1G3Xjuq
Hanna picked the first one. She listened at the door of the room before opening it. It was locked, a good sign. It meant there was something worth locking up. This wouldn't be a problem for her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPdzSKzuXF
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP6vOFAL1Y
Hanna glanced around, making sure the hallway was still clear, as she pulled out her bump keys. She had the door open in under a minute. She closed the door silently behind her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZJSLMLiKC
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSwQPMuqjZ
The first thing that hit her was the smell of weed. The bitter, skunky odour trickled into her throat. If there were drugs in here, that would certainly explain the locked door.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscOyfQH7Sb
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWjdt5WvRu
There were tables, chairs, a pool table, a television, a sofa and... filing cabinets? The standard tan large office-like filing cabinets looked very out of place in the game room. They were the only thing in there that looked both new and clean.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IAtAQF9UC
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYUWEdXcuP
This seemed as good a place as any to drop the bug. Wasting time looking for a better spot would likely end up with her being spotted. She dropped the slim device behind one of the filing cabinets.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7NQkYyL0L
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpaUnZpz8s
Hanna went to open the door just as it swung inwards. She stepped back to avoid getting hit just as a man wearing a black shirt marked 'Staff' came into the room. She was beginning to wonder if you had to be a minimum of six feet tall to work here. The man had at least four inches over her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OTPdKXjv
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JD3Mk60eo
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pMLb6tyts
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmBkHvs9nz
"Hi, I was just looking for the washroom," Hanna said sweetly, in her best ditsy voice. She tried her best to act a bit tipsy.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr91VSu7APv
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgNsOJE7LM
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6NNyDm1ye
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2er51Jtvp
"Oh, whatever." Hanna dropped the ditsy act and swiftly stabbed at his throat. She took the man off guard and the hit left him struggling to breath.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wN0cNUAh
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcI2HgVb6q
Hanna wasted not time with her next move. She threw a strong punch, hitting his temple. He collapsed. Hanna didn't stick around to find out if he'd be getting up.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R5XJUR3lz
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNySwsDPh
"I don't care what Kayla says, that line never works." Hanna muttered under her breath as she stepped over his body. Luckily, the hallway was otherwise empty. She quickly slipped out of the restricted area and out onto the main floor with anyone noticing.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDeKbi8Y5M
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGIboGtS33
Hanna saw Kayla chatting with the guards that had been posted at the entrance. She locked eyes with her cousin and pointed towards the exit, gesturing that they had to leave. Kayla nodded and said something before disappearing into the crowd.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC95pqlEvQ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniHooAy3yt
Hanna dodged her way through the club to get out onto the street. She narrowly avoided getting vodka all over her shirt from a drunk woman who wasn't watching where she was going. Hanna let out a breath in relief as she exited to the street. She immediately starting looking around for Kayla, who was leaning up against her bike. How she had managed to get there ahead of Hanna was a mystery.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINZNiC74Mw
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUKWqtpvs
"What happened?" Kayla asked.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8QMFQnG0D
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XO07XMcJ6
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaN7XXNFkn
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGrsvRRiBx
"Swell. And I got his number." Kayla grinned as she showed Hanna the back of her hand, covered in black marker. "You lost that bet." She took out a wet wipe and erased it quickly.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EHPRWr3J
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTMXYSrISJ
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ5IxWE2hc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0nbAJEgT0
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gX48mUP4
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKsGpWkOXv
Hanna realized she didn't have another mode of transportation and let out a resigned huff. "Let's try not to die on the way back." She put the helmet on and got on behind her cousin again.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr1rTFkFkY
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKr0MKDUk6
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlEtJquewi
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPQ95YACKU
"That's the point!" Hanna retorted as the bike suddenly jerked forward and she found herself clutching on to her cousin for dear life for the second time that night.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz5hZlDqvA
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JKUmoUe2q
Despite Hanna's worries, they got back to her second floor apartment alive and uninjured. It would have been embarrassing to end up in the ER from a motorcycle accident when she just took down a man that had a hundred pounds on her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc80dKSIrf
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4pDK5XPv
Kayla walked around the place as Hanna got her laptop set up to connect to the bug. She sat down at the kitchen table in her open plan kitchen slash living room area. She tapped away at the keyboard while her cousin completed her inspection.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzw8m43zAS
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06HsN9RglM
Her nosey cousin didn't waste any time peaking into the bedrooms, of which only one was occupied. Hanna used to have a roommate but she'd moved out a while ago. Hanna had found the convenience of not having to hide her assignments outweighed the extra help with the rent. Between both her jobs, it wasn't like she needed the money anyways.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx5NMqyBaO
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamMgDiNggR
Despite living here for years, the tan walls were mostly bare. Hanna had never been one for art or photos. In fact, the only artwork she had, a large motel-like landscape piece, had been left from when she'd moved in. She didn't even have a lot of sentimental items, those were mostly still at her aunt and uncle's home.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBHhX0PJF
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRelBGg22FU
Kayla came back, closed the curtains on the glass balcony door and flopped on the sofa in front of the TV. "You cleaned," she remarked.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXlzwsnbB1
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fT49FXzrl
"You've been gone for months, of course I've cleaned," Hanna grumbled. She wasn't a neat freak but she never let her place get too messy either. Not just because Kayla would nag her about it.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvcWFNH3mL
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebT8FilDnM
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgyahTxDrA
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDC6WKlb9C
"It's done," Hanna announced.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMbYFI8M0z
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemqAAYsc09
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONPVPygkvl
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBdRN1CH7E
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWibTN7LsFs
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jB0SQSxw0

"That's it?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQZ20mQFi4
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B6LpBMcfN
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsMIerbhlH
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZi5N3IacB
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFmpW6BiNE
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPP1nJ4WHu
"Tremors, sweating-"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8Xu7S20S
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWfM8jX6kl
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4jrFn9wiK
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yAb0m3Swt
Laughter came through the speaker.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOkHFxABxc
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEN6nQx7en
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuhBo6YvfV
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ZoXy1cG3
"How big?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHXGqozFz2
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wnb2lD4u
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnudmDuCFS
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmKAECQG3J
"So yeah, that's it."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwAI4q0xt
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO38XMNNzh
The voices turned to mumbles and Hanna muted the sound, the bug would keep recording and save the audio for later. "Why would they be looking for Charax in a club?" Hanna asked, dumbfounded.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ou1sDK4A
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM8cDX8sHK
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnybXsEGdlt
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7uHOyb9hH
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQCuHcUqAF
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd054L1jqD3
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S81TZl1Jo
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh0FwTQtEp
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPfJad3eOs
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Yccwn7iB
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWaV3ifJez
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVtEb05IGz
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5N59COwp
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi9o7qX36j
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpNQwSu0bP

Hanna raised an eyebrow. The heat cycles started in their twenties, they were all adults that had been hiding for years. Seems like they'd have a better way to deal with it by then rather than showing up at a club hoping for a one night stand without getting outed. "I think they'd be smart enough to avoid the clubs."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0DpVyPiEn

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzf8ewb7pY

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJny9sqM9B0

"We know that's all a lie. They're rare but they're still here. Mostly second or third generation, but just as valuable," Kayla reminded her.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyOxw0vMNx

Hanna tapped her fingers against the table in thought. "It's not like they're easy to find though, they look exactly like the rest of us. It's like hunting for a needle in a haystack."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP1ie8j9ki
Kayla let out a hum of agreement. "But it only takes one, then they've got a huge payday. Cut up and sold off, plus whatever they can harvest, they might be able to net over a hundred million.” She paused, then added, “if they play their cards right."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM0cO9SCmY

Hanna stopped her tapping. "That's a good point. It's not like they're only going to use the club as a hunting ground either."164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpujvdB6aC

Kayla smiled at Hanna as she got up. "I'm sure we'll get something juicy out of this. Good work tonight," she said, heading towards the door.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXOLEF98Jb

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuauJBq4US

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRp12RGcsc

Hanna heard the door close and started shutting down the laptop. She was tired and energized at all once. It felt good to be back in the game.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffg9ruy6ja
