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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAdaTArNC9Oh
193Please respect copyright.PENANA9PA1vpZpwq
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANASAS6pDeACl
193Please respect copyright.PENANAObe9rOpqxI
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAqo4Sd0gyTA
193Please respect copyright.PENANAynHt7fEDMc
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."193Please respect copyright.PENANA0BjmmVcXYm
193Please respect copyright.PENANA4JpLBJTwQ0
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAb1e1NwgzzB
193Please respect copyright.PENANArSIhgLK2h3
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAgpvYvMfIwp
193Please respect copyright.PENANA2pTexhiZcY
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.193Please respect copyright.PENANALiEOjPS6qW
193Please respect copyright.PENANASuqX0sag5Y
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.193Please respect copyright.PENANAklnhG3hcx5
193Please respect copyright.PENANANggvsD68JA
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA1s6m71toNU
193Please respect copyright.PENANApUBIqbQU2A
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAYB0naRtX2E
193Please respect copyright.PENANAYtvCTmI0EF
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA4UROdmv99M
193Please respect copyright.PENANAEHzBcKR1HB
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANApYvVTnznR3
193Please respect copyright.PENANAIdEG4hJIGZ
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANARjGnN2WgrZ
193Please respect copyright.PENANA5sp6A88PDX
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.193Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ww9o72ab
193Please respect copyright.PENANAOuRVeVJUlE
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.193Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ZPOW45mX
193Please respect copyright.PENANAPOOXh0BUti
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAdzrcJPeZvZ
193Please respect copyright.PENANAJayIGuxZeg
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAMHsWuMBbgc
193Please respect copyright.PENANASHf12jfPyK
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.193Please respect copyright.PENANAPIeQTZQ2CI
193Please respect copyright.PENANAXKoKFkqSdU
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.193Please respect copyright.PENANAoKwbG813Cb
193Please respect copyright.PENANA8ab3zE3zsF
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.193Please respect copyright.PENANApfbsOefs0y
193Please respect copyright.PENANAhCUK3nOybG
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.193Please respect copyright.PENANAVIZQDjVY6H
193Please respect copyright.PENANApGSFHX2Z2z
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.193Please respect copyright.PENANAop0yQg6YbS
193Please respect copyright.PENANA1yZYlFxLQE
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."193Please respect copyright.PENANAYDI6WMEnfB
193Please respect copyright.PENANAbW7cIIAkTl
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.193Please respect copyright.PENANA52gdK8iIVP
193Please respect copyright.PENANAyAfg1nKf7K
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.193Please respect copyright.PENANAnPMj8Gzgl2
193Please respect copyright.PENANAPm7kKJJsYq
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA27apBPnSmo
193Please respect copyright.PENANAL3el0I3eLp
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANABPTlmYiAwD
193Please respect copyright.PENANAdWVQFiJanF
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.193Please respect copyright.PENANAhF4njcvmfq
193Please respect copyright.PENANAm4085Qbd6m
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.193Please respect copyright.PENANAZRpYK10dE5
193Please respect copyright.PENANAvnyZd0AgMg
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAGXs2gzYxOf
193Please respect copyright.PENANAqjwjAQOoR7
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"193Please respect copyright.PENANA5rrk5yGbuB
193Please respect copyright.PENANA8nLXXytyws
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.193Please respect copyright.PENANAg0qXDv6Nvn
193Please respect copyright.PENANAPGBOzoZIlN
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA9bDMp8ZljY
193Please respect copyright.PENANAJCo0YKSQDh
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAfpnEBnQwLj
193Please respect copyright.PENANAFIl5M4HUfz
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAjHREfX13aP
193Please respect copyright.PENANAcA34q0HNSW
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAlRCv9SfOmA
193Please respect copyright.PENANAGI8syXswPN
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANARUZq2VoRt2
193Please respect copyright.PENANATU19QnudNy
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANANCUgjtbSF0
193Please respect copyright.PENANABFZRJ4dCLq
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAdN1sngpj8Y
193Please respect copyright.PENANAyz4LXd7FJa
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAnc2VCPmwQk
193Please respect copyright.PENANAm008MaLyz8
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAeprC1LJHBk
193Please respect copyright.PENANA0rs9hITyiI
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.193Please respect copyright.PENANADlvhS76DuR
193Please respect copyright.PENANAO62gsNl1kO
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."193Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Rx4CCjYo
193Please respect copyright.PENANA3DQmKKHEGK
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.193Please respect copyright.PENANAaH5oDsUHew
193Please respect copyright.PENANALSo2dtIwfb
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAwxidSbflF7
193Please respect copyright.PENANAE86FikrCwp
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAFND5U50qI6
193Please respect copyright.PENANA3er071LpJp
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.193Please respect copyright.PENANAf6lLLmqeBC
193Please respect copyright.PENANAHVN64J0BiZ
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.193Please respect copyright.PENANAIyx7zofUmz
193Please respect copyright.PENANAcrGTPE1jCF
"How?" Hanna asked.193Please respect copyright.PENANAfyVT4GrBFl
193Please respect copyright.PENANArYNNjX4DeB
Kayla gestured to her body.193Please respect copyright.PENANAxDR1N1U5ix
193Please respect copyright.PENANAmLvnehVjpY
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.193Please respect copyright.PENANAB0otMMmlTs
193Please respect copyright.PENANAUlPEjdnxLY
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.193Please respect copyright.PENANAR7pgYvW5J5
193Please respect copyright.PENANAgMoSK8ck15
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.193Please respect copyright.PENANAmvZ6uSBgcs
193Please respect copyright.PENANAhqh4mbvcIV
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."193Please respect copyright.PENANAdAyyn4ZDBN
193Please respect copyright.PENANAqxv2xr5TNG
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."193Please respect copyright.PENANAtg02LJGps2
193Please respect copyright.PENANAP5my5tsdFU
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.193Please respect copyright.PENANAHvow1iNPR5
193Please respect copyright.PENANAqGyOhFtbuv
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA1izkKX789r
193Please respect copyright.PENANAvsmAoFRiY4
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAGyV5KIGfbS
193Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8ekHjwXFJ
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAu74T166HGQ
193Please respect copyright.PENANAjxUWawgfz1
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAHaEslwuUFI
193Please respect copyright.PENANApN2EbmtSEF
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAYCLBCJucrC
193Please respect copyright.PENANAani2dWxvoE
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAHVSEo1G3kS
193Please respect copyright.PENANA3zbhiTG6eZ
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA5MnT42NFOn
193Please respect copyright.PENANAOUYu5Dzlj2
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAxe4Ghdcbon
193Please respect copyright.PENANAJmxDl1saYF
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA2J3KDruiMZ
193Please respect copyright.PENANA2SyJhE0135
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.193Please respect copyright.PENANASoDNRDAKct
193Please respect copyright.PENANANV8C7RoUW3
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAv5ioannbaj
193Please respect copyright.PENANAt3QQASrJHQ
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.193Please respect copyright.PENANA4505fle67F
193Please respect copyright.PENANAH0PYqmdkxP
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAVOdVuUIGzx
193Please respect copyright.PENANA6tbs1oieWi
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAbGw7ho3HEl
193Please respect copyright.PENANAdT3KnQUMIY
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3oqaTWTFL
193Please respect copyright.PENANAJqzoAHlJsf
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAdljAxQikhA
193Please respect copyright.PENANA1794dOixco
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEjm0LCwyH0
193Please respect copyright.PENANAL1K3G2skfc
"What happened?" Kayla asked.193Please respect copyright.PENANACZJViHjwNv
193Please respect copyright.PENANAPc2HVSdNxx
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."193Please respect copyright.PENANAq4LdVHAzcv
193Please respect copyright.PENANAUwzWEQeOKm
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAy2UfNIOYan
193Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5eRFfeCcl
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.193Please respect copyright.PENANAsw8TV7MOnf
193Please respect copyright.PENANAHCmLqOKHxy
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"193Please respect copyright.PENANAfT7JZ4X16N
193Please respect copyright.PENANAtj2ObW2D9K
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANALTLjdZAQXf
193Please respect copyright.PENANAsFQqPDqKee
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.193Please respect copyright.PENANAZWaEj4r2t7
193Please respect copyright.PENANA8CcNLk7J0p
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAFvEWWBZ7Ax
193Please respect copyright.PENANA807wcUJdv5
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAQkl0iLTKA9
193Please respect copyright.PENANAgwy5cdJjrL
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAUBBES64khT
193Please respect copyright.PENANAGgnH1K5Yjd
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAzqnhGnmJ7X
193Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xscdnqiva
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAY4wXAbUhO7
193Please respect copyright.PENANA8C5Fdyhhcv
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rk14CO0Y7
193Please respect copyright.PENANAls2FaguTDw
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAfwyBnE0agd
193Please respect copyright.PENANAvTPbAI7kjv
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.193Please respect copyright.PENANAqzqxxz2jbK
193Please respect copyright.PENANAr13AmRal2Y
"It's done," Hanna announced.193Please respect copyright.PENANAEQKM2vvZ91
193Please respect copyright.PENANAU9l6ub5bw1
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."193Please respect copyright.PENANAAXPKWLAssF
193Please respect copyright.PENANAsTSR3PWH83
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.193Please respect copyright.PENANAjySok47ivT
193Please respect copyright.PENANAcLTc0Y14gE
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."193Please respect copyright.PENANAdELXd8sDvu
193Please respect copyright.PENANAnV9DdnQ8Xk
"That's it?"193Please respect copyright.PENANAfkm7PreWe8
193Please respect copyright.PENANAkoYPI5ZmOH
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"193Please respect copyright.PENANAcMYYYXnU5v
193Please respect copyright.PENANAQrCy4xHjKJ
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.193Please respect copyright.PENANAwGrfhnJepM
193Please respect copyright.PENANA4KG5ambmhc
"Tremors, sweating-"193Please respect copyright.PENANAGoFnFWIY3G
193Please respect copyright.PENANA1skfbkH30G
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.193Please respect copyright.PENANAo5jWZnthtK
193Please respect copyright.PENANAQwa3pOAxNZ
Laughter came through the speaker.193Please respect copyright.PENANAzu4r5A30zo
193Please respect copyright.PENANARHi6w6fAMH
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."193Please respect copyright.PENANAjyNfJ6YeDq
193Please respect copyright.PENANA3qO9ZjtBdx
"How big?"193Please respect copyright.PENANAKxdlmgRAH7
193Please respect copyright.PENANA6Pamr244om
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."193Please respect copyright.PENANAvMW4VYPb16
193Please respect copyright.PENANANIrvW2DZat
"So yeah, that's it."193Please respect copyright.PENANAM2cl8L1d1v
193Please respect copyright.PENANAa0oKGWr6S0
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.193Please respect copyright.PENANAqlIsdK4j5G
193Please respect copyright.PENANAdFKsdufngo
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.193Please respect copyright.PENANAn2MyE78z11
193Please respect copyright.PENANAAJXkoXay9p
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.193Please respect copyright.PENANA86ziiyphVE
193Please respect copyright.PENANAi4kXyMBRbr
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.193Please respect copyright.PENANAA2tLlgVnRA
193Please respect copyright.PENANA6SdkCUcW2q
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.193Please respect copyright.PENANAefrH7pQieI
193Please respect copyright.PENANALj8xUtg8uV
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.193Please respect copyright.PENANAKfVQf7pLfi
193Please respect copyright.PENANAMBDKlPhyFH
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"193Please respect copyright.PENANARtpBn3uXC6
193Please respect copyright.PENANAnBnFT3JbT5
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."193Please respect copyright.PENANAe6srv8eYeo
193Please respect copyright.PENANA9wHBEXVv50
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."193Please respect copyright.PENANATq9OjnxIQz
193Please respect copyright.PENANAN3zIUIZb4f
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."193Please respect copyright.PENANApewoEYnR9G
193Please respect copyright.PENANAdzxUZb63Ag
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.193Please respect copyright.PENANAh5rtNTPC80
193Please respect copyright.PENANA36vF64TSmF
"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.193Please respect copyright.PENANA6gNakhUGqf
