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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAUmIp5r3ZzP
165Please respect copyright.PENANAV5a43Imk1k
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA8kwzN70eSi
165Please respect copyright.PENANAYfesHRdfDD
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA0mUwy7cnaK
165Please respect copyright.PENANAoqYP2FWbpK
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."165Please respect copyright.PENANAttsFAs33Tg
165Please respect copyright.PENANALulf8Nyo3N
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAXSmL3SpCVk
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQNfzoIdmL2
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAUYHz07OfWO
165Please respect copyright.PENANAvezdlKA0x4
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.165Please respect copyright.PENANAKIGohuyyU2
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIZetdEIROO
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.165Please respect copyright.PENANAwlTWBclcC0
165Please respect copyright.PENANAOqh6fP4dAO
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAFpejsxOKRC
165Please respect copyright.PENANArv2BLkhSoh
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAUwDlvRG27m
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0CUKpocLT4
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAueGn9ri0ne
165Please respect copyright.PENANA4sXBrvA84l
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfGLrTSzk
165Please respect copyright.PENANAR0FMsgfZXp
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA3qtF24wtXc
165Please respect copyright.PENANA3xDf6xyYs1
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.165Please respect copyright.PENANAXQSouMZCAa
165Please respect copyright.PENANAgzASHN98lA
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.165Please respect copyright.PENANAycj8YwyjEY
165Please respect copyright.PENANAzVydnhDB1Z
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA8iiIMAWd2n
165Please respect copyright.PENANABwOTChlqkc
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAnjUxJ4PShM
165Please respect copyright.PENANAsznAwc2hwV
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.165Please respect copyright.PENANAfbw2TJatle
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0lNcZg7GyN
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.165Please respect copyright.PENANAsb5BK3bxrp
165Please respect copyright.PENANAmF91CXiQbh
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.165Please respect copyright.PENANAynPvdjsFre
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQYzVAlgPdZ
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.165Please respect copyright.PENANAtcrzgLGlVG
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMEmWKZnTVk
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.165Please respect copyright.PENANAyLsJc8tOoe
165Please respect copyright.PENANAyz6977T0uL
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."165Please respect copyright.PENANAsVXToYyvP9
165Please respect copyright.PENANAygMIfVoRYj
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.165Please respect copyright.PENANALuMZquYipA
165Please respect copyright.PENANAGKp4AWrl4r
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.165Please respect copyright.PENANAUzK5xCxvPF
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbBgNsYIDPY
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAPDuJIsoV88
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVpy1IfwavW
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ90NaYYFV
165Please respect copyright.PENANAYPjn0F7yOe
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.165Please respect copyright.PENANAbIkA11itc4
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuiqmQwpplS
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.165Please respect copyright.PENANAJsd10lGQiW
165Please respect copyright.PENANAsry428Onfa
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAev2obFLTt2
165Please respect copyright.PENANAlPNNxaXqbN
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"165Please respect copyright.PENANAqHilCun2wK
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhomLPjwU90
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.165Please respect copyright.PENANAZikvKTzxmC
165Please respect copyright.PENANABZebYNNq13
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAepgC3740Bd
165Please respect copyright.PENANAsS6HsBgvQc
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAzCqcz9Yxsb
165Please respect copyright.PENANA6O7nEnsj8h
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA0PKDOcCSCA
165Please respect copyright.PENANAtPk9PJ02Gp
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAAZHbZNgr9Q
165Please respect copyright.PENANAsojjFMkOT9
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAag1QeIGG97
165Please respect copyright.PENANAS43H3K0Vjw
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAio56k2hObB
165Please respect copyright.PENANAxiDQLJgvIQ
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAdkt2uctX82
165Please respect copyright.PENANAga1R9O00w9
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAZsTo8XrWvU
165Please respect copyright.PENANAt2CXHlpo5D
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAQrO2UypIUT
165Please respect copyright.PENANAKO7h2soxF1
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.165Please respect copyright.PENANAApHjSrUbHF
165Please respect copyright.PENANAT8mwN0O06j
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."165Please respect copyright.PENANAUcIQ20F3td
165Please respect copyright.PENANAkkpsoAaqcm
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.165Please respect copyright.PENANAzsnXeKoPWR
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhyvIk7TWNE
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAsw1qBNeeDF
165Please respect copyright.PENANA4z5vQHqOWq
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAQKFPZNl3so
165Please respect copyright.PENANACKrAv3enqz
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.165Please respect copyright.PENANA9t3A3Jzw4M
165Please respect copyright.PENANAqdUn09zW0S
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.165Please respect copyright.PENANA3899t1wKhN
165Please respect copyright.PENANAW36yiOg9s9
"How?" Hanna asked.165Please respect copyright.PENANAXfz4hfpLm8
165Please respect copyright.PENANAXTMkBM9a7X
Kayla gestured to her body.165Please respect copyright.PENANAPYoRniOaiU
165Please respect copyright.PENANATS2KFawgJQ
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.165Please respect copyright.PENANAxJiQTzrhsM
165Please respect copyright.PENANAfYFaGj2MFC
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.165Please respect copyright.PENANATLoNQNVRx8
165Please respect copyright.PENANACZMV35xPcM
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.165Please respect copyright.PENANAMG1uUPBDtG
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVPnkZzJwsI
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."165Please respect copyright.PENANAiEDYOKhDjO
165Please respect copyright.PENANA7PGW9j8Y17
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."165Please respect copyright.PENANAX5GbfB8DPS
165Please respect copyright.PENANArD6CGc2KMJ
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.165Please respect copyright.PENANAsOUYj2okyg
165Please respect copyright.PENANAG2gEiZF3HK
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAYulwrouVUu
165Please respect copyright.PENANAa18GaiZ8eY
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAbtcMha91NH
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuxux9ntN08
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA030EgEco99
165Please respect copyright.PENANAPqBpZUqpWE
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAzHVUytusNV
165Please respect copyright.PENANAclzqqWjmQW
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAVF1mgPzdo6
165Please respect copyright.PENANAxT47qmQ2hT
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAhcq7pOpMEt
165Please respect copyright.PENANACCNe9oFk3U
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA8ots6t1J8w
165Please respect copyright.PENANAayhr7ZtUO1
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANADyQfP1koWk
165Please respect copyright.PENANAUN8W1DP6z7
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAHnd9X15akD
165Please respect copyright.PENANAGLu3V1Kub6
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.165Please respect copyright.PENANADOgvCn6xwG
165Please respect copyright.PENANAtwYixQjGzO
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAo2GyD0bmL4
165Please respect copyright.PENANA6EfMCzKCzx
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.165Please respect copyright.PENANAocUxmqWJxg
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwd4WIkFSGh
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAASy34Dz1dP
165Please respect copyright.PENANAp4fFNIZRNL
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAwsxlaZZpiV
165Please respect copyright.PENANA7DxIMQQkUb
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAG2PgJuS6lD
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZglJOQOgKA
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAkN4MHGlr0k
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbfWWviVLdX
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAiIpccsXAeG
165Please respect copyright.PENANAloMldyf7t6
"What happened?" Kayla asked.165Please respect copyright.PENANAcrRxvreiL6
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQP0apG5kd9
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."165Please respect copyright.PENANAhkUnROywhQ
165Please respect copyright.PENANAdVf6XsrkQA
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAuG10CytOIg
165Please respect copyright.PENANA4m78mP7lLD
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.165Please respect copyright.PENANADjmckhZ2HI
165Please respect copyright.PENANAG5zGghxNBh
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"165Please respect copyright.PENANA4fphsQ74O4
165Please respect copyright.PENANAchNKTEYEvB
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAQdzCqAJw6U
165Please respect copyright.PENANAepBzYOHY10
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.165Please respect copyright.PENANA11t5R0r5Sg
165Please respect copyright.PENANA56TWEk84Js
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAbyBrLDfYeN
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2x3LlP5DKT
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAr6VYe46ePD
165Please respect copyright.PENANAqwxzQQ2bwZ
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAmN6YODyEz0
165Please respect copyright.PENANAW2ztz904XA
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAJwHgBhKPsu
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbR13JJGtNb
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAbZFgvn0mGm
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMncF7rWwNb
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAW58AliP2Au
165Please respect copyright.PENANAff3Mrl3yps
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAfueWlHr7U1
165Please respect copyright.PENANAWL6RetO2cP
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.165Please respect copyright.PENANAp262ZCZQII
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0IQaiI1B6q
"It's done," Hanna announced.165Please respect copyright.PENANAn7wPqV4eks
165Please respect copyright.PENANATdbNSGduZH
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."165Please respect copyright.PENANAiw4FLYAuln
165Please respect copyright.PENANAN13fCJY3qk
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.165Please respect copyright.PENANAmXnL12QVpo
165Please respect copyright.PENANAW3ak6qjOEg
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."165Please respect copyright.PENANAz8yvd7he2k
165Please respect copyright.PENANANhX6bwT4Ev
"That's it?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAB7q296s8T9
165Please respect copyright.PENANA8NDBUDrOIE
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"165Please respect copyright.PENANAMSxmgnLPdR
165Please respect copyright.PENANAcVF2ILgQxP
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.165Please respect copyright.PENANAkgUpPrr0sb
165Please respect copyright.PENANAtM2Lczrfe6
"Tremors, sweating-"165Please respect copyright.PENANAJCQ1GMQySP
165Please respect copyright.PENANANhLEptbWbA
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.165Please respect copyright.PENANAoNf196WUGU
165Please respect copyright.PENANAUnhGJsrnqY
Laughter came through the speaker.165Please respect copyright.PENANAa5o9ApzSiX
165Please respect copyright.PENANAsyNeP4k5Kv
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."165Please respect copyright.PENANA6OBpQ7ilej
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwUpoRMwmhe
"How big?"165Please respect copyright.PENANARFqbE0cTAm
165Please respect copyright.PENANArxEzn5F4zt
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."165Please respect copyright.PENANA0KmS6CHeVX
165Please respect copyright.PENANASSDqpLGJRP
"So yeah, that's it."165Please respect copyright.PENANAVmssaUnwCC
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZmxfr05PP0
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.165Please respect copyright.PENANATUI4D6kZTs
165Please respect copyright.PENANAdeIKPHv29o
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.165Please respect copyright.PENANAx1KvW5KNkI
165Please respect copyright.PENANAKU5Duzbzka
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.165Please respect copyright.PENANAnd7sruHlHv
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1qVMRkT4Ac
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.165Please respect copyright.PENANAazzTNCwjEI
165Please respect copyright.PENANAmtFDpeTXpx
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.165Please respect copyright.PENANALptAaokMj0
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQj6MxboyO9
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.165Please respect copyright.PENANA3UWZqR4QnK
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVPhIL4aOwT
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"165Please respect copyright.PENANA66xyPYJuTe
165Please respect copyright.PENANAodrWM1wMTK
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."165Please respect copyright.PENANADETU01Qh33
165Please respect copyright.PENANACFGMQsEEJx
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."165Please respect copyright.PENANAZdtrNs7tOa
165Please respect copyright.PENANAAbFIlQqXjL
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."165Please respect copyright.PENANAaQm2ndFtXP
165Please respect copyright.PENANAzq6l1yy56y
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.165Please respect copyright.PENANAtxUaKa3O7X
165Please respect copyright.PENANAcUqmFQANvH
"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.165Please respect copyright.PENANAEBTnBpTGIa
165Please respect copyright.PENANABtVe6Y6v1F
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."165Please respect copyright.PENANA3I5ZcSj9e1
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."165Please respect copyright.PENANA318wqUtgdV

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.165Please respect copyright.PENANA43AZ2wqpmt
