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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0JoE7mMiy
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qhAM9uov0
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWYLNz02dH
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDBMKf6STY
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqZACm4I7u
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUc2RFzHaB
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBrRBBYbUu
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTK8A4mKm2
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5wCVW4IoJ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92bsCxZQi5
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2rIrWwuX7
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH74gnYRwC
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcClwHskRP6
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgNiQxB33L
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZn10NoBF
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtw1vPi7Xr
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0t0BGqwU
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCU7um0flg
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zWZC9I1VE
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsMt1mKUu3
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWGlwuw9GJ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMoczCEDnl
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCLslxBqPa
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyxjpJW1fq
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDfm641C59
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBfTAPeCtz
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFbvXQa9ZO
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLakC53f7ys
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvMHc61Ao3
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjFss880R
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQXh2WOjMs
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxDC0Y4Jm
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36r7UxHcti
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcjC29DtUx
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkfixe0McT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllKlW1eHRQ
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fsk1nzP4Z
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqMu3cRsAP
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bomjbLDa2
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7taPgel541
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgRvvg9hd5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdydtwYAfkx
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk19wHqmVHB
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskuZ32Y2l8
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J0ao6kfpe
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjqqMM8dbi
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRJGbRqoBJ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDegGLnznF
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0I6kKhGJU
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEcQWN4x3N
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy6FU9weul
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV4R3lsDh2
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1V9ouvn8v
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq90iZeMdrv
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGseZwQ53P5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3qpoDCxEy
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavLdT5VXK2
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwFasc8b1a
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtojHu65RsL
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCER2xY6CUi
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipU5b5Fe8a
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv95rXIgQwq
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdXtJiWQFI
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXLmzjPUne
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfPMVGrmX5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVlaMmbD22
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xB6mqKGXS
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpPsyt0GCv
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh8yGinDbJ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36L2P0TyHB
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4nj7lacMA
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlF4Y7o9x2
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh6QvGNLGR
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NfNCEtwr0
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDMO7GxyH
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO3Uvzza8X
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzuQl5k2by
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcD8jACy4O
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcOEvqGE8R
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioDQtpttB
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfYaJYkPrk
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJeW6HcXIr
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ80kCOLTtf
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1arFt1rd5
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELLB13BkiT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHlem0LpHW
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnecZz7rBSQ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOV5dLgeWv
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncPnBljlwo
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIlEtogfep
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsEE78XnD2
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Akr3wuPav
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8QNnoQ2mq
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm2OsevkGv
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6adfcQZQlD
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsbyKtrGSc
"How?" Hanna asked.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtDeylNkIr
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtzsoflnWW
Kayla gestured to her body.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpxuSODmi9
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSOGFKIwdM
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgu7lQkfW5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g8H8HWx4Y
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxzkEYLUcL
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGnproHyo
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUWuC3NMRd
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsWMn6uR8C
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFShSbhGTw
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKTMH3giK9
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuM5GWE6uy
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyj1f2dbrR
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCsSKYVQtT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTidoi1cZh
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAtvFtEJRf
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDcTiacji6
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJjM68l2h7
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfvfP4vMIe
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX08v0INLo
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxD9JA3vzK
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP7BvroJOB
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8NjEgx86P
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG8SODn7eE
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWoECMsDl
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOHB162gTs
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4sOl0Lpt
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCWQ5QWFjO
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3NXupFFcp
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyG9xrxF4V
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO7tr2xYYu
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zSQ94YTwg
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRYilHA14s
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2JPPhDlY5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftIiuvoCL2
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcg2k1FYzs
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbV2wzpo89
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS0UaF8WoU
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo1WxDrrYW
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxFmlvzvVI
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5nQI6BIQD
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0uedlhcmc
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkg2mrlajQ
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79W7KVMvPN
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAOnbq9cDc
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaY2whGkf3
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ivxZzslez
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPTby1fg7d
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGsck5k309
"What happened?" Kayla asked.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGA1ZCXH8r
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemgPOqqaZd
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnVXdlcz61
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfJgEUADqe
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCXFNhlyo5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuxi8Jnp07
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKNJB9rCIM
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNGvJtVa7
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMJz5rmMQ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRrRTijnq9
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupQ2R0Zexh
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqEaavzhiX
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZY71M3QGb
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnFNSkunqf
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHnq6yQMx4
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIPTn57It2
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQPiouGQP
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQXxl0kmXe
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIZGnjRSYJ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jbAFAX25o
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldzRHAPTCq
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmtG54Dn8z
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jwOd2V1yK
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESufaXQtTN
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2roBAKCJS
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9KsNsjiIX
"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNCK8htl1
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQjCjRp5Yn
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AXUSfX4Hf
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytnC3zaL3h
"It's done," Hanna announced.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Bsu8ZrzJ
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsDZRxdSH2
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fMHlbHE4W
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy2Nzz57Um
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ696qnm2Wkv
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykohqOxx9N

"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cykq2xJuX
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWfY4qBXeL
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjHmLWoA6k
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnpM3B5lny
"Tremors, sweating-"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesfMqjMifR
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8yH7Pajdv
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MMU1Ulstx
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuhJiVDYzv
Laughter came through the speaker.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPaK4jjCvv
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdG0uv3NJd
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6F2aUHGSe
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKq4th6ukD
"How big?"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYMMj1lGmW
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfChRzm9h1Q
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39p0De6nSC
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCVaiFR44p
"So yeah, that's it."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtxoHDOVqS
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER93bEjfyQ
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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP0aENEWL5
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLLCRO5PZH
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls4CugOY6e
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqgo2T5eoo
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cMIsN67Oh
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpcSgTH4LD
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOuwUFR2Hp
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQesLVkOo
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJDuGV44Hv
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0r1TRDpR5
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJQiM2rYFY
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDKJg4mq6Y
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcloiWPMpNB
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbLZU0VSvL
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpFRRMNfD0
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelIVGtTzYU
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."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC9L6GybgB

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgieKXXFuT

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCudvwXqgY

"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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQuJpYVI0l

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."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xXQwrX8Jh
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."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0m5tIrGnV

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."145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQ5aWz4Xq

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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJobVdpieB4

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCpDhyIxnO

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1VP9FaY0I

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.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRt2fnfiDD
