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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAkThI0tjAV4
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0P80z5t5pj
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA76sxlY2hoU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnXmzhnSIng
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANATS9XZuSimB
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9xChgJVbIL
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."110Please respect copyright.PENANAb7l7fR1hgx
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt8e0IBqGXd
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANADhbc3tVES6
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkq31Tykg70
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA6NaBDGmTQB
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYsOae3SmbO
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.110Please respect copyright.PENANACmr0k1oTdg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwdE637vL3S
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.110Please respect copyright.PENANAuqqGl4XNLV
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqWsyrhwBIf
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAtZy0kRoHuE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAl1w3aY48Kj
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAIbArc2OqA3
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjLBPUIXD3o
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAyCve8JoWZG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVXVp2aXNdj
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAliZfv7EbEb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbMm892SoHF
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAiNiJ9VMXWK
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMl2Cnq75gI
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.110Please respect copyright.PENANAGoW0cYZCbV
110Please respect copyright.PENANAH5lckpS5xF
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.110Please respect copyright.PENANAf9J8tV0g6a
110Please respect copyright.PENANAo1MoqrAIi6
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANARVqwM4jOVk
110Please respect copyright.PENANApHDhKT5sPY
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA4QebEPn4UP
110Please respect copyright.PENANAl7W6OuZdtZ
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.110Please respect copyright.PENANAmPcXk5pIlZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5z0hu0boUF
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.110Please respect copyright.PENANA4uIduYgIVb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcm283qnCvI
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.110Please respect copyright.PENANALZD4BeTqDb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGYnGpYZRpA
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.110Please respect copyright.PENANAM1IKwZJjSZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAD4XTx9KBfN
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.110Please respect copyright.PENANATp6piIgJyQ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmBDfcQuRPX
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."110Please respect copyright.PENANA7jjPn2S45U
110Please respect copyright.PENANAd9dAHd6q5c
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.110Please respect copyright.PENANAZxdOl9HpXS
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUavGvebghO
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.110Please respect copyright.PENANAac53gQXudQ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAw0A6FvCPNC
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAV0cxbopJKP
110Please respect copyright.PENANA47DJnJOTI9
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANANQ9Ek38qlR
110Please respect copyright.PENANAB17yLf1W7g
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAbLF6Uqttm8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmqo1JPyuwn
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.110Please respect copyright.PENANAs17KSvrGAN
110Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Nx85CRz3
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANABAXk5TP2LO
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfYSdmVlJz9
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"110Please respect copyright.PENANAPZiLCCXxPN
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoqeCH8FPTD
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.110Please respect copyright.PENANAfTYWCS0spL
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmCCNhxCs6z
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAMids7X7LKa
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiFR6G3aiBD
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAQcjrDNweKy
110Please respect copyright.PENANAl3CpBdnxez
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAjvOOjHXQ73
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxom1NlCDQm
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA8YWx6NHjDg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI2kihbWA92
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Cz07JhSZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANALHpvlEtBN1
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAlUegQpUxHI
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoIclVPHamI
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAtBsx4JJxYg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmvIqZGWtp6
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAXvwpbhAEK9
110Please respect copyright.PENANA98fTK9Hqmg
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAXawjsPrj0n
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjCFaYXjmVY
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.110Please respect copyright.PENANAxR073SUBNr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp54NhvJ3bQ
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."110Please respect copyright.PENANAq7S1T1WohU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvdOE7YUAP4
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.110Please respect copyright.PENANAvTLLxcfeFc
110Please respect copyright.PENANAU2zRzdHP24
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAXMUhW8oJty
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1r71Fud5OE
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAt61gqOj2fb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIqlgDJ2uSO
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.110Please respect copyright.PENANAhFvTDA8qMM
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYucM9o431a
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.110Please respect copyright.PENANAdi0JzIwvP0
110Please respect copyright.PENANA789UDVszts
"How?" Hanna asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANA9jPCSckMgL
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9VUWNOx0Wu
Kayla gestured to her body.110Please respect copyright.PENANAA48lOxEzPc
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnEeC4slypj
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.110Please respect copyright.PENANAKQxPGRKSm5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfKtACz4qY7
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.110Please respect copyright.PENANAg0IA9FTuGC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKWXYEYS6zm
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.110Please respect copyright.PENANAgq1TjDiar7
110Please respect copyright.PENANAy0OHXaxQi2
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."110Please respect copyright.PENANAKngKfT3pXB
110Please respect copyright.PENANASnYZkbNQ5i
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."110Please respect copyright.PENANAkpP00WYZgJ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAaqAjbtoTtC
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.110Please respect copyright.PENANAEBPjCpCUlL
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6TNvDTZFSI
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA2v6IQmffEP
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHfZSt1UyRJ
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAMXVux024RE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsLzDJfDijj
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAs27Dw0MyPT
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlcDgASsCXt
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAH19OQx1knr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAf80YSW4yZa
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANASX9G3K8slL
110Please respect copyright.PENANADzSPdQfTNb
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAfLdiEEASxU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjWLVub8HkB
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANARPnJZBg7uS
110Please respect copyright.PENANABzpQYHIQin
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAIl8AJwaOz4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbh2WCpECDN
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAewSfbLMc2x
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6iYww7y2dV
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.110Please respect copyright.PENANAmlmuaZtVAL
110Please respect copyright.PENANASGimn0LXWW
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAtzSJW7p5XU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwJYeUnkLjy
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.110Please respect copyright.PENANAojVCIAwf3v
110Please respect copyright.PENANAX3vH2GHSri
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA29IGZ7wIt8
110Please respect copyright.PENANACTpvW62OPE
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6pveAtUjv
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMzg5wvyCCk
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAo5w8LloNBR
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjOulopV8iw
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA5SC5q3nWUO
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnJGFyDeeMW
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHXQg09cizi
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKvBPT15LSQ
"What happened?" Kayla asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1SkiIxLqt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAC1vOXLAEGq
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."110Please respect copyright.PENANAWTnX0U8wtc
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGkTKNiOTFJ
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAcDNXDDjVdE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqBKzkNWtgU
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.110Please respect copyright.PENANAuQqGDCp6S3
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcVqUpJ4i6e
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAq1xX77KPs5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsl485p2oNi
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAMfeie33QzI
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1yO0gn59Cr
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.110Please respect copyright.PENANAJI6jr8L1Ih
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnfWUmZBHSS
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA9sae8fYPaK
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI1WFTwwQMn
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAIcbkS5f6Lr
110Please respect copyright.PENANADJOPt8ImX3
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAR39ez75Ct6
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvNVnp6dytG
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANATtry6SaNO9
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlDKG3u5ORD
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAPvCqlkQgXk
110Please respect copyright.PENANA17aqOpyHCr
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAw8tgJQZoOC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAN9WNjadHBz
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAqU2Ead7DCd
110Please respect copyright.PENANAa1QB310n2P
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.110Please respect copyright.PENANANIG4x2jnge
110Please respect copyright.PENANATIX6zzDyb4
"It's done," Hanna announced.110Please respect copyright.PENANAH3x7v5SL7x
110Please respect copyright.PENANAez2csniLuQ
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."110Please respect copyright.PENANAfWdjqF1aTv
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfdydpFYbiu
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.110Please respect copyright.PENANA1pxxxsBOMY
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPLcxtu0dDk
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."110Please respect copyright.PENANAl4S378hJIM
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxnSFvLg90u
"That's it?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAW16yUiFB5H
110Please respect copyright.PENANAweeKbRcd5d
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"110Please respect copyright.PENANA1oyylEtgPC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXJiwHVWXm9
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.110Please respect copyright.PENANA1gR0vsz5BM
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjOCrr2Yg7G
"Tremors, sweating-"110Please respect copyright.PENANAkAIGayARw3
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqrLVtARtXo
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.110Please respect copyright.PENANAeo6Qo8HDVO
110Please respect copyright.PENANA54CGNYZOBn
Laughter came through the speaker.110Please respect copyright.PENANAORirewpeLb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAijAErr3NUf
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."110Please respect copyright.PENANAjVwXObfX6f
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4NSxoWjWO2
"How big?"110Please respect copyright.PENANA0W5PLnA1if
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIUWURDK5EZ
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."110Please respect copyright.PENANAKICsh8nJ2H
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjQb6XB09U3
"So yeah, that's it."110Please respect copyright.PENANARneQtOIgMs
110Please respect copyright.PENANAExCaWTeu75
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAzqMlO8tajE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMwgD8QVmbo
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.110Please respect copyright.PENANAQZZ9JTuVtz
110Please respect copyright.PENANApuIW3u7uNI
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.110Please respect copyright.PENANAtf3BPk3kBg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAEzaaKGwyhJ
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.110Please respect copyright.PENANAuu5Ct7v2Bk
110Please respect copyright.PENANAky3nZ3iIU4
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.110Please respect copyright.PENANABXiWov1b4p
110Please respect copyright.PENANALEy6PS6TGX
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHYkCdqcKof
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwTk3weg90J
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"110Please respect copyright.PENANA3YJcGiDQwo
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7cfuKLjJ3m
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."110Please respect copyright.PENANA2HsuvPCm0I
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8yPgjlDRqo
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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAVY0p8QWFFu
110Please respect copyright.PENANArQtKsrqCmE
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."110Please respect copyright.PENANApYUhBfkiBQ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAA2OUKWeqKv
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHoyu0Want3
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIe3aBq7eOx
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tltp8cJaQ
