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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdTt9jRhE
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xXiJy5wTm
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxwXaF40Hr
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV4R7IPNGK
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNx6ZMQ5dU
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaz8UgXKgx
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUi2EhJ0xX
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP8wLDv2p9
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11QerfRkcy
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HNIw6bk7J
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9eyA602Ua
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ANZgEcWF
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SfpVxxQre
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjiUaU2umS
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoncmAHjGIh
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyOBMMKhFp
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cEQODHHz0
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzutxknoHIH
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBOAs5zxV
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONUlokCRZw
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTBWsjxQE8
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguMTYuqvUu
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcHyrYhNt5
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WEz1ZjGNQ
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8VEnWJxch
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwW7mJ78iL
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gMX2RCAsD
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmPUqWY8Mm
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxv2DBl0w2
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aXl46YZEW
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfEWdoyYlH
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4jANeYMXI
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ffTkg0Fe7
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b8cQj5pTr
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN5DzwpS6J
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP49EAleyR1
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE21VebZXK
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMckqlW1ON
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXcdnORy5
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvborPsEru
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpsSs3M3oR
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4duYSdDmyr
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYq7M4LhOm
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWraNdGXaZj
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tuICFYFl2
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJcFden8K4
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNtoQz6wpL
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK1uBJJbR0
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJcHNFa02A
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1k4Pe6yLD
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS4w8x7dCI
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSTrkQFs5Q
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiIZqVG1KW
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulOrR7e6GE
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jpc1SxodW
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfkuyww2nd
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBFjpYN5o0
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCc3PguXto
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvkiChlVSZ
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEKFkKWBp3
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOxqqRs57R
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5wy1cZcDN
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2hzdth2Ym
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq77bWoRrR
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuKvaQ2llv
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZyZzeCJ38
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKlnvgzSrV
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1i8tivBXN
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOEKi6AJ0M
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvFX5Dm7HO
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFRDOxOQkf
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOEE4nK0J
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorfYL9Jyib
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzOJxpsVB4
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsGbsHvY4Z
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAZGBZOrGS
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoVrbABCZ2
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBiv9JLgwj
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB7X4pqJT6
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQmnfDvOs
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtuMSd9K54
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqFuoxIUgu
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0sKDXNEcZ
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TWUxUbgDn
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLxM0SydWv
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHIVPu8wJX
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaX0DZwRNe
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeXa2VQI3m
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTR4Q57AwF
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLn7GkoNCY
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZFRZ7XleC
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx6E5XY2Bz
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFA73o5JnM
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWmlBf8nd
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRu5SAbpVX
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTV5p9i58t
"How?" Hanna asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzNF3XW2KW
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTo5tph43
Kayla gestured to her body.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrYDRG48il
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpNHq9qilM
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrn3W9erqT
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk5hPXpraf
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoJWe2Ya4I
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRj987dl7t
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JArmTUznj
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2MDm1TraJ
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bt8JkgiyS
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQioDWhr6k
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLNOX6aceN
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKIOcOAAHU
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHq6GkOFpH
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBT4Bc59Y
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dyGfvjlPd
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqUv2unuBd
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeUG8w80OU
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGxwB8tdN2
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FOLlU7bg2
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijkKt8jSA8
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF7ya5tRuB
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNOKl2J1ek
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLnBcBLGHE
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbcrxv74kS
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNW5kv3B7z
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpe7YF3ASy
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplO10hXCdD
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcKqYU4zi7
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2S10txNKT
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9FjZ1E1YV
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlRmlSdTjb
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEcxuFJP0D
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNJy4qQQlv
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwTmbDnh8L
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMwAPAG80A
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWVipvTIJc
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nqRtGo1YK
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBzRoNFzpe
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorSh7NF0FD
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrHoAELaiG
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53cwRt9KsM
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXIPDZvumc
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8uqgiTQqP
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2jnX3nWEs
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsjnYQuP3x
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZWtWGWYr9
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFcmO1fDDJ
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM85vbN54NU
"What happened?" Kayla asked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8a5YtHs6x
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡparGCivqui
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgfiFY9PJ0
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXLA1qWOeK
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSGVRm5OVk
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdE0vJQaIa
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutAJBcHlj8
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYvJZl8qMb
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMpxfoTUtX
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWqlxqGNWX
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvDLO9KGwD
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUpMLDOWA
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpiBFInsuo
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveMhASO4yJ
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2St4cSzSj
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r3h8yloHW
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DbPMYM2pV
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL67OM0DhKr
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSnAOo6zhk
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEOh4DUYKj
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOIZgGnQPe
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7b7ghpe6C
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqFVQv3F5R
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiz27uKpvG
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jdOHkq2G3
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4tPjtems5
"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNuMBwhNnJ
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejGb1AHmA
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb8FX6YpJn
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7h2F51TJH
"It's done," Hanna announced.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F4AKqdyCE
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUhvrABov9
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGL7ZKAMaz
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo5UvXyX6J
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vmvHrA3sX
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSebC90gf
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPs1pD0ZqO

"That's it?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SUIXmWy4O
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZt9FkkZNz
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtDT2GfykN
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXNp1Ib53t
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P40VRDIzR
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSCzY3EaGC
"Tremors, sweating-"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6UTHqp8m
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB8h6Fi7q2
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvtszgxhkk
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPszc8M4SGs
Laughter came through the speaker.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQgoRY5Oi
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyzpIGGAyF
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMdk0Q0Gap
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HVLfcf0V8
"How big?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2vuydXytd
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxg4kbgKZ9
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtthXeGqKh7
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx8dRfLaL9
"So yeah, that's it."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87UUkGwfIA
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW34SHDacu
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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLy7m3ujjb
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9eFHNahcF
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENbjxmJAQX
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxFddf1EVI
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWWS7inwYT
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtTZ2bJwFb
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z7xkpzMv3
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu2oDcGJGf
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4BWleLlI0
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1iKYw1dXs
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kgnBejKyf
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYAWA83BnF
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWBgo15AX3
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQzfjyRQVR
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR643Y1xc7K
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX8D1NFeSP
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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFCXGoUsEn

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U8IByYHT6

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVSaaaXxJP

"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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqsRvX7aPU

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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroATbNdiaa
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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVrCAgn2R

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."173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnCMSwiQX

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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNfiodd5E7

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0YqcS9v5j

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCDkk8MNGo

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.173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iogHxhhmT
