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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpGDakDHn0
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU1DvEQYRk
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGwcFMaL0R
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zPKDVGNpR
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx13dWWura
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgFjiP84IA
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LhWJyqmbn
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH9ZWcvdEp
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjFw58CV0
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp5bOyT8r9
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfDdar4Y3Y
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQKg1Thtbx
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWVKSX03u
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40DZATWuxN
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyP4376PsX
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBAZMLzh9y
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODz8m4G7R
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJu0UmKMC
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVz2G9loOG
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ZVnkDYEi
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYMRCVmrut
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaQPtpW1uE
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7pSYKwQvV
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEz1Z3BWcx
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaqC2QxDPp
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC19ARbdDl
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IC7iREyfN
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7fv0h7S2R
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN7Y777Gio
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPAEofC1XG
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aAuHnFlT
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOgCimHWpG
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOcV9lJmEv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwMDTXAVH8
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx0DSUR5yW
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar03ZkRwqV
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrd8pl5hWV
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzVMV3lnJz
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9qZTwfbRv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyvRTLzAYF
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O79IrSyCK
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabnxv74e45
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7YG6OoVIp
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTNA5KIMgs
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh01kAUllqv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69R1N1wcyk
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x8OtwVb6f
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfWy6TSzu6
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJXnoCliK
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1YglH7me6
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltVullAkQv
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJopFPbsngo
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzoXpNpS88
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbZni5ClxX
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt9dKhw1kY
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUGGQ2lQPV
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgrEDbemBb
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubkbahVdU
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOq2HSlQU
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9SGgOWKbS
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqWu82BoAe
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnkQZJYcp2
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC4jRe3mkB
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSkCZNiihb
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hlnA8Y0QC
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd9Ce1xzFH
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1wa7oRvJj
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sBCrst2ZS
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VwTd4QrU
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbYN3dCZAn
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyzNTe66LA
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijpAwFftpQ
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ735mfMAwU7
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopdNQmk4jC
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAFLPQvEra
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpeQYlqtPM
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg99si6azc
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUFwTrzJtd
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7MnUTvlZ7
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeAeeB7kyq
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGVia8rTCC
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiqHcNSQ3k
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu6xkt5FQc
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8JSypGTB
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot9XHXNYmk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0qQltzeTF
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXcxnoFcJK
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSBftrOaWv
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7vYYmRxXS
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQwGRQZff5
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmPNZMD549
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaAfFbnR10
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5QR4HDWpX
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZtgGJPmTd
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUSeocSc4i
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmqdAQH5vx
"How?" Hanna asked.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWj1WoTHcD
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwr2OOZD3J
Kayla gestured to her body.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA47MTtcwe
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBmxIgxdjJ
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBWMNbf381
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxdg0C4QTD
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUctgOiZR8
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCQbe0BJMi
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWHAkU0qw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3JAZRcYZ
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcBWZ6Hn3p
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoftO5zUgg
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeETxaobL8
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UyPMaEaNr
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvJdwtMQTZ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzk02J8Ynf
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF2p7gSHpX
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWQ0JgdUPJ
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufrxJNwsaS
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKfOCYO596
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCphhuAS4U
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGK6KGXUpp
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJECevDO7s
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT5AoWkNJ9
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMmZgERA3y
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmcWZEkqqR
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBs1qXcIPo
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspvxx0TvP
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9jai5nK5f
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP5IQ6DgXz
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7K87vZeKk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5osuHgAUQo
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDgj7uitzn
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4tthrVVTK
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB0Wk5hIwI
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf94I5p6nyi
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRy2OpO423
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aUGXk8lH
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yeACdOl3I
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBKaEVoyEi
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCnMIoBu88
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznVv5dT8wP
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAMnNgAGFB
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBH7dwZ5sD
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujCyTgxrSq
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgU8j8HHci
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YVnVNBpEw
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPqHFdSwRm
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXHDZ8i0wr
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRVUJYR7LA
"What happened?" Kayla asked.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg5eBkPBxU
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr714UtqGk
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m12itv7vy
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqs737jZI9
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg36o8kI3x
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicIsPoRgsA
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbi5GfF0B4
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNQD3jfLMm
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfhErO2XGH
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOaDIkCedH
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VeZYBP9DE
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEXb745f1X
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZmTQiRxy
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLniq5fALud
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQoEfLTGg
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa208VmNqs
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYazBckOGa
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWYpNXt8av
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdV8LDqXYf
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi0GoUe2wx
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda6dP0IRPE
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDTEUY5Whf
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfewOvOJr8
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKrlXJer3Z
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtxAbU4efd
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EzwVAFYlb
"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PgRGOXdxQ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu56FF2GKU
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBQBIST9k2
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA5LkMZ7dl
"It's done," Hanna announced.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrHccIgcwb
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlebDgNjwOu
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCTsXgoV3r
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKcyCllhwA
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfIxe1Tct3
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KBnEwhmTn

"That's it?"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PDfTO744c
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEshwGmidC
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPIZHpqj03
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv1XgiJOl5
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1HMUBJnVm
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ572pRvf7wi
"Tremors, sweating-"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdYjGtGdH
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0D7dd3ejo
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoTh0pF9s2
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkgNRovxrc
Laughter came through the speaker.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapij98MSOu
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQfYLqHjjv
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3JJnolq6X
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2IUAHHeMX
"How big?"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSTbaGUEsy
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr1wbJGCWR
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgLNNjjyV6
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILCZV9DVf4
"So yeah, that's it."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBNGVHrjpW
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP8QoZdGoR
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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxWPJzblOk
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsLoKFX4fO
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl0SkKu9wL
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOxmQ3nirR
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclzKugJMZG
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSy8jjtiZu
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPda8DgrR5
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7YTHdjR1c
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwqlKspsxJ
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3wGqDZFpQ
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1WwcC9zRA
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdofEDxgOm3
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPGWRDNrVq
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iTL1LQUJ1
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvGO1xEG6k
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDW6NrWbn
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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkagKVl3wM

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPUTbbnRmk

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Js2QbaFE

"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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0jQo0s7no

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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb3WI3Z8NX
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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuphGs0Xjg

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."204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzTwrFdE5g

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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w6PRJ77RC

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcy7cAIucZ

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRBML2k13n

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.204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDru0NWIH9
