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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXCjWT9Fwe
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuRDdKxTRR
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpN5PF15pJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFJq8Fyyl9
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsLIMnAqv7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpyxOtxfYJ
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdfjAdRPno
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyLrwY9bDV
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Apqz9aJb4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK9aIOwSvZ
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dUjtUhttI
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnnztqgJaC
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMtYGn1FBn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojr129sPw2
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b9z0slCEv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpyt8DKtzK
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwu9qrxqvF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Y0XmQO7i
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnD5SbyaRU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTvUZOsPi
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6WCN8Wvdr
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef6GcECGD6
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lUTM9ax7y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj77ROqOck0
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaKwNgHHVg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtabctIUOW
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykqAO1k5A1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DTv4ppj02
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVZBvCHYCJ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVCeTmbkr
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GVhlaefY
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9b6gq6Cbb
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfZLqf0ucm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHus4phiLi
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoizt5B8yiT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G8yWeMogC
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE91gcRySH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Bd9xYuWm
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QHsTk90UN
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybRqFj8r2V
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH8yCB6VTB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqr3Srlkqg
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJDnT7mvK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVzfnvaGl
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ530gihq6wK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bYdOelZk
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJZvz95IlG
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JBCNQn7WL
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgtzrWJ1Bm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zQmtBy1B
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo1OAsT6Nj
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzXG3wUTIa
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIVS3vtXsb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkjfywTsv8
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YNtLX2ok2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vDVgYu21
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQo5xqvV7R
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCGFtuJd0Z
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAwC0A1g8r
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD3e3YSIdL
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3JtPhVsWF
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpK2KU2v09
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefKmP3t81C
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88N1yjHyK3
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xAftdWp3r
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4xv9wZ0jc
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDk251bibu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT9mJFZvGH
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgiIT01yIx
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXk2mFlGLW
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtjrePendQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqriUVjgbqL
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIAIFb5icL
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsZfxfpKwn
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr03Q9DC5D0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHtmDtVvRO
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4q9yyblyg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ankfrUWK
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhrGzzZo1u
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUADHS1Lph
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcpz5O4o7t
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3jFWaChgP
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8bX8FfVcU
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaUECCQYBZ
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1zzd8I1Z5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk9G4B2s4e
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnPPm0q6Ps
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpzsgShor
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiMvbPE6Mu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVesVpcgy8K
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYsoOh2fUb
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTs2saJgRr
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2joVSFY7y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrF6grG3w
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen1Yfm1Mnp
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi5sY8uj2X
"How?" Hanna asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtknA7XVwIP
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjET9FKAYuQ
Kayla gestured to her body.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEbTvYFSxB
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSxzr1JQrM
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwjc847wJQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh31WhHOLuA
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3U5An5cC2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM4PjLrR87
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zel3cnVLT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0cHkutbnJ
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhbDD3sxD
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdPqQcv16f
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogs14jAkw4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Dt3vLcl6
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgpFUVsvtd
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIpIMpnX76
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJwpaDo5e3
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqKLk7Etk
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybdIfAyLa
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI8liBtH6N
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLk6qxfOEK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kKjRxfnZJ
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOT69EfQS0
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5V6uu2Oi
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaoBxUi7NE
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcESfo1IIN
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWs7RENiry
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1VM5HYq5H
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ82P9FzwJ7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboERtEv3AI
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBLO72VCMv
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2669TygJ
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt51DJSfaIl
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzYvAZyQJJ
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao56XDME2Y
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZBPuQ9kMi
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI03HrSLYRz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbq1sduTy0
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvoXBcfwT7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEAAxu72xR
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBvJMFUQH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKgpoAJc5T
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJuqtnMRcR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZhu2JtGc6
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhPAUzf9G7
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2OpVeCFK7
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ck2EmZEQ
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE87wowaMmg
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZA3kYH9sz
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleR9MfCI2g
"What happened?" Kayla asked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSIhQXYrVg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEZm73rsbm
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMYzFBK7t
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsavirASufE
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ui8WZWJHK
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOahxMOVA4L
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Z1qVzj3h
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim5GROx5dV
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWMnFoqTc
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEhnmTT1oh
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8dzUC6VRg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfn0bKTMjQ
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIu0y5sg2a
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9znd86Fac
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV1I1AtWTm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OPcUOqZS4
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fQdWoNCyn
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgLkAQjNIS
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZmJMvyAU1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfXIrxwpow
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGwiLmSoQT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKnqR73Dc
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OUWwu2KkT
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql5Nqwd8uI
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZjp4L0Id5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2HuCoEkL
"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXXiuRJepH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplIJf68Ft
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pM3KPag9f
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aXCsXFfQc
"It's done," Hanna announced.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5d95ZwcCg
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpYUztsTEX
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmekEyP2bPH
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lez1BLTZJ
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy541vjpXq
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dN01Ozu3R
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFPWbsaoSz

"That's it?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4xxPqcN6b
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMhd02eCpj
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu4TpryFE8
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvAQXQGesJ
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCTNuvQ71J
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybqz42sRON
"Tremors, sweating-"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPQXMEjeiw
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfXwZsbrGg
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1oiKRydd5
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfqh4TJvWX
Laughter came through the speaker.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4srNgjyFk
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GEFsj3pIP
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDngGCFfp2
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLsRn6scC2
"How big?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMntM0y18ID
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDrwa4wMcZ
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynNAs2IrYf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGM06IBHRV
"So yeah, that's it."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsHe97S6S9
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqs7t7RZ6
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTqU6fZw2C
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7wmYV01U
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sLono5IIm
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNTaX5TMG1
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aDMA0jiUf
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4JwlTJYNx
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWZdhmsZXG
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs38wPAFiVa
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6YJz0gmR
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQPxKBeyVm
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9k4c4Avne
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauuqbknwtg
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ536mx4axg1
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWOMB49bBY
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26DdjZRcQB

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."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX1llFtMQ6

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYynAbVyoS

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlNf5sUgXN

"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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnANggenU6

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."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHekhjUvwd
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."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN2U17kOHG

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."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EzYp3qy0O

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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZANrLU52X

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1tUFE5ETw

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l2ZfaVYbk

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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYaJB4Ydkn
