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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4STUQjm0tp
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTAiw6QexB
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcV774dSbb
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfeKl1aBuD
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdZZXW6WZG
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX7jD8AlS5
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA195TY1rgj
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wQENIoYtj
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIHLuDPeZv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmoNa0glBG
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWs0KtJBQB
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIRIRsUUNQ
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0cEEPOTPN
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcCYVRQEDy
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgTTfh0zQ8
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwAmzQP1Bl
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bjqx97N2F
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHryGmCtYoY
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuzDHj4ier
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HhoEeQfd
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nuvM00oXm
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAIEFqoI1p
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTia7yeDap
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFAMHa158T
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmarB4HjdRi
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJYKx2Cgg9
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk23C8HxKv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10txHsbFOz
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxu2ryGDeE
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaLy07TpdK
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFootHwdeNX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP8ma5JRiO
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVNqWJTuM9
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ov8m2GsTM
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqDlYdZJjU
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnzqLl1ddn
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ99mD9rVog
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEaQvd1r1
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFnpGv0SoX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTtLn5GC8F
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6peyrGAxP
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d1KKNP3hS
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCPjfNFW2u
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcGMu9wKW1
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GHMY7rKIA
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanWK2T9LGl
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyn64UvZ0H
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Y3qpwjMM
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ettHdUBFR
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxleW5pYt0
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCwHCohn8S
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSjadBQwrk
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ7JJ9bJdX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5JOyqq930
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWOKPJGKtJ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQMQ5IUULh
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pDHWI6Cwj
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrcTsrw4Cv
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6LB7EOKp4
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIvvugekeZ
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhApzLxcP
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7xbueDaEt
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a5sKekcXH
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaXucsr2ZV
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡookWPa6i4B
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6WtRGkRO7
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHOlx4SfrU
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6TOdrssLc
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQHr2pX0Wz
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B4Y8Eut0W
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVbR2FufvG
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ro9o7hmrt
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPLJbo4kI
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5jotwTZeW
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxipWGhosEY
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWVbuazBct
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PR07bw2q1
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CrUtPXOT3
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFZV8niAJ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm9c6aiUut
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DvP7tp1gp
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI2m4CIESz
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgvL5oAphw
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJDsrtCrH
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86OJO03Ph2
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f6Ua8Spga
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkvgVhjz1W
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTV2glbbYl
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcrA0MvQy7
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDGHmO2xQy
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEyQw0LU98
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxudwqr9Fk
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDF07NIbFl
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZI08WSUWZ
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB6C1ETrCI
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7VofNCLnf
"How?" Hanna asked.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8oZme3vf
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm0H0buZuO
Kayla gestured to her body.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7imoj2IvlK
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC0WwomXiJ
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhysEb7mTA
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Sl2LGcqQ
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jC6IlkXiP
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYpH7yMjpJ
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOvUtTxGvX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7JpFWmEhI
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqMlbhN2mG
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpwF1l0rB
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop4KA2SBnE
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVSSCHwtfu
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWojBxxI10m
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyujUAHaocq
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGja9hCBKs
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssDK54RqSe
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3F17hmUlX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzVZHZLF18
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoCnLHC9UO
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzmzBT0jVF
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPPI5JZBMR
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCdweRsuhe
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SssrHo8Vl
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfzqivzja
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt72azysA7
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv5kKuV4XA
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6oT511xpj
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkmN0E6JN
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAPnWu1ttX
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI15lKdNerY
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOHhtAbNPv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKVQRfcka5
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKVkHKj10a
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLREcKyL43
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvle0KmonQ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvT7SWMj4x
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDuiJkCzPH
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxIGecxRNa
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsgKSu3T83
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqbNc4EdUL
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbyS8CiSJR
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wjXejFo0
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhBkQPfaTI
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaaq9KqviV
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUwp0H1nK2
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FxyjHHxDK
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QKPy5xTRN
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtV6qHblB5
"What happened?" Kayla asked.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlpuzsR1aJ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9mBnY7Alu
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UVK8Hag0U
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXFkWQ2VL7
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaagXESzqJ
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVflIwagvo2
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgpNp34wXs
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqPWPbN8X
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN69Uk4snMN
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnivxZk1Jt
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DWMXgX9C1
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKREYCQtM8
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2olnMCoF6X
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0PaQqtUnQ
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXlgu1iFXM
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiso3zmgf0
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLNTa9HUo
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2EKkaZwJv
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5tSI9ugqr
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9lOI4kTH0
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBrt2UxuMN
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7w1k6ZBN9
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuNOJa7Umj
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQjwYyVGlu
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcpmyic2gv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7JX8Gqxez
"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqSWsSm76
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRAiRa3s5c
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeom3Ihj9b
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbccIVdha2
"It's done," Hanna announced.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCadgrsNn
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKzfxhQI2C
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bcoA342sL
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BiUpHmrBP
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZOnafxvKk
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R92p48MKv
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTCgwzcazQ

"That's it?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN2YI7XD06
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzALmd8a92H
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVwyqqPZvH
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJNozUvdur
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fpG1YGg4H
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeFg6TFZ25
"Tremors, sweating-"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RyB7XBe2W
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKfpkytpGq
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41ZdBWERh
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFqjwNjv4s
Laughter came through the speaker.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJCNfY8pPK
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJjeeKh1Vg
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtYcm2KkYr
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5dEHKHc0U
"How big?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt04OwCpEta
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH5EDTEXNJ
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnFxtfY7J2
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWJnlafE86
"So yeah, that's it."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hP8oVTNiz
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhfLiEZFb2
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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZGb0cUali
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahQbABQkmo
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfJnBBU1z
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS4btkAP6u
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSzgSMi1RW
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUwQmptPyI
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkCLXaZElv
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZBnwqD3t
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsOcsPihD9
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXnG4DARS0
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTFOzilWvB
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCZCG7ZjDd
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnWtMTlkfu
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc165zD5da
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjuroW5ajt
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve2keUHkLD
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."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKqrdJFun9

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdErC5carq1

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCOcnLFDIZ

"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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXgRBMgcnx

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."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPQqEx2kv
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."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTs3opw2Fc

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."147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lqussz55f

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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjxd0pCZQi

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab5k21EUZ8

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzYh3qGbe4

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.147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB4VLf5hyv
