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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2irfSftPe
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN9Wt3RXqF
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTbkYwimgW
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM3jI2CRYv
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDfCKimqz7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYbC5W0X4T
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5CQ1DmOVY
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIslybwc8U
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n4H3JFsPD
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiizBkots86
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20hmIxquPn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp5WjswJUh
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ49yZUnxtW
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4WttMboTV
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3bHdUoovN
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sLFEJiSt
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsVcuaoEW1
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mprx84xVC
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzohUbuQ9L
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDcmEro0K
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qnpO6SHTC
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJCKwXab5l
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGZkym70D0
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP7YSF8ynW
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fxjFv0tfY
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon9pe5XaEy
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuokJex6m3n
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOrmiQrv5U
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpO1r64GZ8
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfygxmd8tGt
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ863aKMRIf5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT5Xfh6KuE
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfXb6QSUdf
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKnCY1GoMY
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUltst94Uv
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzyESZ8fI8
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvMr93D1yV
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFrZwn4WmD
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uyPzZqANe
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdS4QyzTwC
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiKbZIdnXN
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IrS5ilSPF
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr6xfZJz6g
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXknz6sEiSI
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ9UTYR23p
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTrXQXf2WT
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CsHVcrJJ0
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmRRCjA4LE
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NOmzzjn8u
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6ky6foNt
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsiy9GMd8z
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fJieDOyIm
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikMPWoAZAe
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDNNa9G6JE
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdjy9fz3sL
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUxnJI1f1
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl2Fyqo1D2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6nCX7xjvW
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AHFV3QREF
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yL9xveVhG
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV168HCugVh
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdgeXcv7Bb
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsok7vST21
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG20igOSxfx
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAs7IkZFuQ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVyCpSkH86
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZlFrEaX0N
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRSZQKhccq
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oiflxWZzx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IEBJkwsJE
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN2kNwZMA5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiGkOvdoX2
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuvLnJMFbT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTXlCFsQH3
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5RsoOnHIF
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m7yeOgdBV
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvyq5Kd1cq
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy40zZqiHk7
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpbas1I9Jd
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWR3zuBU0g
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTe4DObqLS
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXR2d5IFSA
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq42VMW9iO
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LAZOkT9FX
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD2xbaIbJq
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKqtMaVeqp
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkVCXYdMiA
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjM2a2dMq
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8LFSmNfzd
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy1hlJngZu
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zStsjV3Lk
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20YaLSBoHI
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf8VnhqTfD
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtT5OUPVmo
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONsaZqVxQ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOHNf9RwYy
"How?" Hanna asked.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhF81FxRDH
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSwNm6Pm63
Kayla gestured to her body.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLuoXm9KSL
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg4dSeU2uv
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo2EuRXnn3
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EP6Wrb93M
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7QbhXWoez
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLeEn9dEvz
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXEaworZYS
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ3L8YFGrR
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2coUKdytV
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye6bEIXgjW
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zTUcaxW2Z
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYDAa0Oo6y
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuzlUqXe7S
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgdpoZtMbd
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ETy3SbXIx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiZcpvqHhR
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIABvB4pLZx
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZvlIRfRmz
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcrUNcox1f
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK33yMQMWnu
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm34JQMuLtg
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LKictIWKo
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTS9avPASv
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4VcClu8Nv
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoiQTxzQYr
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0RdUskmXc
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MG1A8qo4P
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZJ1Ph5io6
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFRIy45ccJ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHx67OTcHh
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cJ4E8oree
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtRbAul12g
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY122mg4MRg
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9W1DNrs2q
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzMzCAiqLE
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9XG9aDYm
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMGCO7FSB
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7uhTAiOXT
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUbHZ1Vn2t
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWd0kdNGKa
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdrBsJO9o6
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarHddSThH
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUiBsrsWue
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWufao2OkS6
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9P1sZRMko
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiRZXHz83s
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINJtF7h2EI
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9f6jH87nH
"What happened?" Kayla asked.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvyC2Jwnb9
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdKUpxtie9
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqHc8H79c4
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrlIG0ftHC
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAZAp1eQ0N
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RTTSOY4WF
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsALclQlt2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PGVOlSDqV
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPGpBcrnF7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7XY4mrpy2
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SzBLmj8Ik
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVWZAE6Mi
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKNFpQdoXF
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUZQPAUpyi
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdsJkw0i1x
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzmOJr2BXu
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSMYaVDn3L
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfSmu7f4Ds
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihlrzTGTg2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q7fsF5jdf
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39JmjTy3H8
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXxQdvVixF
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ929c7zx4Em
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9AaYMXPP8
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEGBUIv5xy
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQXVGiFlZ3
"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpfKjncbZ7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCddsGI5nuC
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDifo4oREXT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiblpYJE2
"It's done," Hanna announced.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEhtO08tjQ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnyjHvtdfS
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgcvy0vsme
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hBwXI2Zrq
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRJ8rq1rBK
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Dchw9QAh
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBfaS900I0
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10HPdCpLL9
"That's it?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVXwr4UPbG
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSvJ2vO9Wt
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2BMEGAMgT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjQhT89r25
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlncZvIysIF
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzbvgxzjyX
"Tremors, sweating-"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcVmAezrUT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehZgjKUvG3
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1pUbVOeZ7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7of0NNiLOA
Laughter came through the speaker.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS7HPpRFRa
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sXCzSlPCe
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHBT6n1dpu
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EtrGB9fi
"How big?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G1lzZt8b6
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZl1J4bmJt
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTtoYJvtIn
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwZZRlSRhl
"So yeah, that's it."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNyd8atWxS
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0noAMUOuk8
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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WiQbfoIr2
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLp4yhaQLL
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y8ZxQ3aCi
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgSA7MTVNR
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkqYhHiTA1
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7hjiQB8XI
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBsMNKWqWt
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopfoL5ZNQ9
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRQgxdUGty
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f1lPBlK8A
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3pBKYyXPg
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhIYGR6YkH
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSKZ1YGP2l
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAnNAfEcl1
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYohQSgg74Y

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."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYDwYupsvL

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr1Of73bld

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zBCzYqww2

"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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhVI0zXdew

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."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQTH2REB83
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."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwCVlXMkH8

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."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11qyfEWV2X

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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb5w9LfZ2T

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWmGS2bJt

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rR36FYBsN

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.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzwyXSkoNq
