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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAxsQNCQiVzn
135Please respect copyright.PENANAmsXEJ97ine
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAIpNB1RlHyJ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFk6hpXy3V2
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAV3jUUolbvQ
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4mRQvaChZy
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."135Please respect copyright.PENANArTKs0GMul6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAC6IAuTTWp6
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANARKn2RUSCUC
135Please respect copyright.PENANApnDySadNLC
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANASp5N8tib6j
135Please respect copyright.PENANANe8JNFzI41
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.135Please respect copyright.PENANAwcB7RBxaBc
135Please respect copyright.PENANA0zHKfVkWkx
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.135Please respect copyright.PENANAGTyZotm1Td
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfe3kiozWNQ
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAb5US9Cr3uE
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFvY9q0iBgi
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAwRVf4wTkKK
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPBCUASPK0d
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAL6ny8kCjL5
135Please respect copyright.PENANAIRLSVBFQVE
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANARcWdYnKmC4
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnrMSFLvEeA
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAyY4FShPkPy
135Please respect copyright.PENANAdUarwbMCIA
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.135Please respect copyright.PENANAZ78CR6Wwst
135Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vo5sSWyX8
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.135Please respect copyright.PENANAiMORWABaiH
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzud3ZTXW1Y
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAEs0P6LdaGJ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAokSOFkRkOy
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAfjfATbSimA
135Please respect copyright.PENANA5os1ExaFZz
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.135Please respect copyright.PENANAotK0zNTiI4
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzKPRwXjL79
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.135Please respect copyright.PENANAgRCui6hS76
135Please respect copyright.PENANAxmrT1GlBCI
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.135Please respect copyright.PENANAqiEqTWV0vs
135Please respect copyright.PENANATNjaQ6IIQf
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.135Please respect copyright.PENANAVjQtE3Xk1E
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYRi3uGemGB
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.135Please respect copyright.PENANAFUUWvP946u
135Please respect copyright.PENANAl9xt6aw7LL
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."135Please respect copyright.PENANAPi2yptR1CP
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhvHMGgTosu
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.135Please respect copyright.PENANAUUcJ1vojLB
135Please respect copyright.PENANA6425ujHYZp
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.135Please respect copyright.PENANAby0u9c0wsg
135Please respect copyright.PENANASCGXoNjxC9
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wmd34DNww
135Please respect copyright.PENANAulsDCsCRB0
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAMYb6N73B7X
135Please respect copyright.PENANApltBo4ekOv
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.135Please respect copyright.PENANAh9nK5qy6Mr
135Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Cq6mjKy6
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.135Please respect copyright.PENANAhCmCYjc0mf
135Please respect copyright.PENANAqkUS1Xdcui
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAjgCY8PUVuW
135Please respect copyright.PENANAV4HVdwZdRg
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"135Please respect copyright.PENANAmelS3OJo5q
135Please respect copyright.PENANAeoKWcLH8RY
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.135Please respect copyright.PENANAzVKC6yBmTy
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFsPHzkvYnn
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAq4lOtQypBp
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEqx11ji6RX
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAIwmlTpzB1U
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEETBtgeDki
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAwKLASEMMtB
135Please respect copyright.PENANAWE1m7Dc8iO
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAVkzdETcfA0
135Please respect copyright.PENANAUI4wIkM6Ak
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA43AIpXvrvA
135Please respect copyright.PENANACAVz2Pey23
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAvxfjsksjyi
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuvBiLV3lGQ
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANANUyrqPiWA1
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGaebyXlrxg
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANADNZ7JGNUyg
135Please respect copyright.PENANABhydYjUZej
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANACiLdmwqAL0
135Please respect copyright.PENANAk2j37lwzjE
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.135Please respect copyright.PENANADq0PxW9tvd
135Please respect copyright.PENANAnjg6fjvij0
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."135Please respect copyright.PENANAt1CiuRpie6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPlIdjNlBYv
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.135Please respect copyright.PENANAEgDNMomIFF
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx0WQs04HMt
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ2jbpYbVW
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgz0b0IY5qS
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA0DWf65ushX
135Please respect copyright.PENANASodJx7VAj3
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.135Please respect copyright.PENANAPfTjpuzG5O
135Please respect copyright.PENANAlpSzqIE1EY
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.135Please respect copyright.PENANAcognz942fY
135Please respect copyright.PENANArhIxy4jh9C
"How?" Hanna asked.135Please respect copyright.PENANAmsqEW1GaSX
135Please respect copyright.PENANACqOp8ODhJP
Kayla gestured to her body.135Please respect copyright.PENANAPEptCpqAaN
135Please respect copyright.PENANAk561BhR29i
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.135Please respect copyright.PENANAs6p2IBZGIT
135Please respect copyright.PENANAaXqsZBgEZr
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.135Please respect copyright.PENANAr4FQYmUnIK
135Please respect copyright.PENANA7onhDZtcci
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.135Please respect copyright.PENANAJxRmanOTuI
135Please respect copyright.PENANA8fOU7Am9cs
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."135Please respect copyright.PENANAOOQwViYSRg
135Please respect copyright.PENANA3AWsEYa4Bv
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."135Please respect copyright.PENANA3dORBQSF9L
135Please respect copyright.PENANAhBqmEVSNZh
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.135Please respect copyright.PENANAKKSbQr86ga
135Please respect copyright.PENANANv6WcZT7Tl
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA7RYaFVObnY
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzv2KdcMmrM
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAaCWklhR0f5
135Please respect copyright.PENANAvMuFY9HCdw
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAOjZvBShzVH
135Please respect copyright.PENANA2epggj3kZU
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA927sERvnn6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAuqDwbrb2Ch
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAusAbf2u04l
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyxeO2BAZUP
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAYgHKdHSCNH
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkoFeacHEsZ
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAyyqpQbarAX
135Please respect copyright.PENANAbvAQAYSb6r
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAdsko0VYBPo
135Please respect copyright.PENANAF5TXHsMQfy
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAuQaGIAr6JL
135Please respect copyright.PENANA97Vcg5EYz4
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.135Please respect copyright.PENANAGkNzoKx6E3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAwiNrOzYpep
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAKsO06qMy7s
135Please respect copyright.PENANAOva2ehrAra
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.135Please respect copyright.PENANATBBnbwjB4z
135Please respect copyright.PENANAcs8y9g827p
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZoFCeMxso
135Please respect copyright.PENANAostReSxq9g
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAejf6Wi7G55
135Please respect copyright.PENANAg94VosLFDv
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANADPw0GIIRaW
135Please respect copyright.PENANAo0gUJz4sOK
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA9J7OeaI07n
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFqYhQD1ZJP
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAejbLepoivS
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7zgwqlyRq
"What happened?" Kayla asked.135Please respect copyright.PENANAc9pmPhqOa7
135Please respect copyright.PENANAkXM7NqbbMH
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."135Please respect copyright.PENANAyDtjyTAHAg
135Please respect copyright.PENANACnM0v4kNZI
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAETeG08Sc0M
135Please respect copyright.PENANAA0z2blgqhs
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.135Please respect copyright.PENANAwnIHp9jHJi
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFs98mF1yb5
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"135Please respect copyright.PENANAHgUxYKGmS2
135Please respect copyright.PENANArOKidCzXqJ
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANASf01wQIqWe
135Please respect copyright.PENANAPGDBNxMbF0
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.135Please respect copyright.PENANAZVcnY25wnn
135Please respect copyright.PENANACz2V3zPW9Y
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANA3VqCUrghxY
135Please respect copyright.PENANApCpJ57QGfu
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAwsapu3i9PN
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQZTSASNbq1
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAYIsnersio8
135Please respect copyright.PENANAa9XHE1ER2G
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAAui7Urdk5x
135Please respect copyright.PENANAEvAhQrbwPk
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAgy9sGCk5da
135Please respect copyright.PENANAZSVb8w0uXP
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAhFCULE8O3V
135Please respect copyright.PENANAFiLZyrxgeg
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAVejHKtjwUb
135Please respect copyright.PENANAMSEubeQ37U
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.135Please respect copyright.PENANAhprHXnElor
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjxjMgZ5nOx
"It's done," Hanna announced.135Please respect copyright.PENANAhjQgW7it99
135Please respect copyright.PENANAauys9oltIH
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."135Please respect copyright.PENANANAy9FiMeh1
135Please respect copyright.PENANAc2cKFCfcRp
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.135Please respect copyright.PENANASNrTYtKqTA
135Please respect copyright.PENANALWv5cqElnw
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."135Please respect copyright.PENANAcgYEp3wAdI
135Please respect copyright.PENANAYgzMM5NJvi
"That's it?"135Please respect copyright.PENANARiWsisJjH6
135Please respect copyright.PENANAyn8bJGiVXf
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"135Please respect copyright.PENANAWYwu98ULP5
135Please respect copyright.PENANA9HBGymIo3f
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.135Please respect copyright.PENANAHbKXaPf0e2
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgGzMYlpUVl
"Tremors, sweating-"135Please respect copyright.PENANA0NhoQ4ZRs0
135Please respect copyright.PENANAjAKZ6j88ac
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.135Please respect copyright.PENANA1mnrJWbZXq
135Please respect copyright.PENANARouMolX0u8
Laughter came through the speaker.135Please respect copyright.PENANAocxljBMRv3
135Please respect copyright.PENANAQEGm7SaXxT
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."135Please respect copyright.PENANAU5bXPNQT5j
135Please respect copyright.PENANAphDtkhwdw1
"How big?"135Please respect copyright.PENANA5EUQdUOC5X
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJKtohfsXhx
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."135Please respect copyright.PENANAyNG7MbfC8D
135Please respect copyright.PENANA18NY1ROhA9
"So yeah, that's it."135Please respect copyright.PENANAG7CfjFyuwW
135Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8R6ro24du
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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAXCMnn1grMZ
135Please respect copyright.PENANAXMKNA19aBj
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.135Please respect copyright.PENANAa46wKE7q6A
135Please respect copyright.PENANAY9ALeAVtUQ
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.135Please respect copyright.PENANAPRoBPnx5p9
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfru73OdEm1
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.135Please respect copyright.PENANAwCZApJQrBb
135Please respect copyright.PENANAgvkVkIUJUN
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.135Please respect copyright.PENANA6bvxeX1jj2
135Please respect copyright.PENANAfjMuc96Fho
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.135Please respect copyright.PENANAfF0O4UBYkg
135Please respect copyright.PENANAx9fmeYwJlS
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"135Please respect copyright.PENANArSMgmD15ia
135Please respect copyright.PENANAGUtAUsNqrU
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."135Please respect copyright.PENANAHVBzGik7ND
135Please respect copyright.PENANA35MSzcg7G6
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."135Please respect copyright.PENANA2hxdIHu79I
135Please respect copyright.PENANAzjxxq0qlNC
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."135Please respect copyright.PENANAfjFMemTyKu
135Please respect copyright.PENANAiyU2YRRiTG
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.135Please respect copyright.PENANA7NkAgAW8qq
135Please respect copyright.PENANALYZR5QzO8p
"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.135Please respect copyright.PENANAXeTqp1x1ko
135Please respect copyright.PENANAHw3UKGQDDm
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."135Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zm8XXNo72
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."135Please respect copyright.PENANATbBpY2PieR
