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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA369nly8NJk
168Please respect copyright.PENANAay8WKqMrtq
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA2qE4lavSKZ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAiwcDEkOEii
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAO39mjX23Pv
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3UK2wAISSz
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."168Please respect copyright.PENANARmDj2Yx0LJ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUMrIGSiUpc
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAgE0thAI7Wc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkJQe75sKCf
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAtn0FbcXDIz
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk8l9seiE86
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.168Please respect copyright.PENANA06SAZSpKEz
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUjI2jj5rqo
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.168Please respect copyright.PENANAO7sjj0N2MP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGJuQ90srU9
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAcfS4ui64yM
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHbgnORZxU6
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAAXphvnhmfv
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4T44FSODbR
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAuyi2mcQ0Hh
168Please respect copyright.PENANADw31YZ6ee7
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAFqUQ5Q5qRr
168Please respect copyright.PENANAdGf8xQbyko
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANALvsKj40O5a
168Please respect copyright.PENANAruQtcxI7pU
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.168Please respect copyright.PENANAEP1l7gRlRN
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoUTD3U9nv8
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6V93g7TZ9
168Please respect copyright.PENANAftkdMrOplj
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAMPxpjfn5cP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZigx0Lr4QI
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAQE6IyPop96
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxzF6tGWo04
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.168Please respect copyright.PENANAfYznx4yVpX
168Please respect copyright.PENANAI4ynUAlcUQ
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.168Please respect copyright.PENANA7b3phRny5Z
168Please respect copyright.PENANApONH4KDO6Y
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5FpcREJvI
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAuI2g693zc
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.168Please respect copyright.PENANAKV2aGnztqC
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPpYI2KRaUj
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.168Please respect copyright.PENANAftuMBifILK
168Please respect copyright.PENANAduUDzYnypP
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."168Please respect copyright.PENANAlvWALUvfI9
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZXMRB0vrJR
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.168Please respect copyright.PENANApcVjP5kt0c
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuXzEOBSPPf
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.168Please respect copyright.PENANACmogFiTawB
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEehWmnN46e
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANApoiHXEZvXa
168Please respect copyright.PENANARB14vpCoFk
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAJAwEVwH35H
168Please respect copyright.PENANARUdpGYV0Za
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.168Please respect copyright.PENANAEZpmaQarYb
168Please respect copyright.PENANACzibuxZtkk
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.168Please respect copyright.PENANAXn5VTu0jXb
168Please respect copyright.PENANApzwZy5m8ja
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA0UqlVjvVaF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtkRu2IIHq8
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"168Please respect copyright.PENANASDBmcfDKjd
168Please respect copyright.PENANA2lhbY6TjeF
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.168Please respect copyright.PENANA0UDC1GV6dR
168Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Y110qsDD
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAHATJTx7Cnv
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUDK3M5klv6
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAWko7H50Eec
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxDpK2xXdEr
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAu71eCLyCUh
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPmjetyW5RL
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAqGfXJjQS5f
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeRIcaEr8Vn
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAztogWvEIra
168Please respect copyright.PENANAaRCzZwY2Bs
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAuat8MwctJy
168Please respect copyright.PENANATPFEXtpb0i
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAZXItxiI5R7
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbGffyHITsU
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAkwm96OVBPC
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxV45axLpXo
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAEywzAVqXvr
168Please respect copyright.PENANAx96PSoVYaK
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.168Please respect copyright.PENANAgucBEC7zUN
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwAeE6fdqBW
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."168Please respect copyright.PENANAPNj5uJtzAP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgS6xef3C1l
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.168Please respect copyright.PENANA0SWmG8B8Lo
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkXdCpR3bVf
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAprKtz0o2cY
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAGvrHPUSKm
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA0AKVribYHI
168Please respect copyright.PENANASjSfsecNqf
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.168Please respect copyright.PENANA3kBYxIq0W9
168Please respect copyright.PENANACs9uCVhpan
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.168Please respect copyright.PENANA90ciDTQrxS
168Please respect copyright.PENANAevjhqxMoPL
"How?" Hanna asked.168Please respect copyright.PENANAYcvyWV8vm7
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPBSD4kvvDy
Kayla gestured to her body.168Please respect copyright.PENANA8GrsbaxRcp
168Please respect copyright.PENANALuYGtkllC8
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.168Please respect copyright.PENANAss23uddRhv
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7KjCSUgS4O
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.168Please respect copyright.PENANAuYluogAWPO
168Please respect copyright.PENANAP15LvGYGS8
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.168Please respect copyright.PENANAEfq39fIX4s
168Please respect copyright.PENANAghshLT8eWc
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."168Please respect copyright.PENANAJjDGRAHvZJ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsjUNzq0Tid
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."168Please respect copyright.PENANAGgLYQQilyx
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfaESelUWX5
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.168Please respect copyright.PENANA82SrYMQdQS
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ow9wmqoa4
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAwXSkEoMF9K
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIZtLaKMXZ2
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAHEz01BOdqN
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPglwlfcaoQ
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANArt3eBGqHi1
168Please respect copyright.PENANAN8tLjaEzMQ
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAzbTqEzowWr
168Please respect copyright.PENANAisrMTEyMLp
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZzH1w6Xe1
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF7bKd7rGWF
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAau0hMd2VyU
168Please respect copyright.PENANARZyL9gAQYb
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA3QqTDh7wNL
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYaLZUwOHIi
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Ty03Ugxp
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ffikrzwpb
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANASzevOYCWsF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAseG32mY5AF
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.168Please respect copyright.PENANALAZl4cY8om
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlSBNV8DtIK
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAnz0NR1ZOsD
168Please respect copyright.PENANApxrNDe1BJv
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.168Please respect copyright.PENANAyO1tAlQWV6
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhhjyylpEEl
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAiIRmYCAmlD
168Please respect copyright.PENANALNicvam9sr
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA57RJIDKste
168Please respect copyright.PENANAS4ZYi7HS0f
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANANn5FuDv5Oo
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y16Xf8YVm
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAnWojYFNNNi
168Please respect copyright.PENANAc3vHAo9sSA
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAG4LofzrCE7
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwxtXkJsJrk
"What happened?" Kayla asked.168Please respect copyright.PENANAUdPNqldEbc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHSHuwjgnas
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."168Please respect copyright.PENANAdxkj8eX21E
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5pDom0pq9r
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAPnpdfEhwdW
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4EdcuJoeNJ
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ99pu3Fip9
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8BYhTIhV9X
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"168Please respect copyright.PENANAQqVk7BJB8m
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWKxKO4QSZD
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANApCNKZLpUfH
168Please respect copyright.PENANAasujKEfGZP
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.168Please respect copyright.PENANAX7lgA7ie5E
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7y1JYffmwf
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQiFQq0oW
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcMHHq9xfIQ
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAQpDj3vl6ba
168Please respect copyright.PENANAahc5d7njZg
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAMMrNNRtZWf
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv03w7IIEoR
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAu8F2zGBP3f
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFcXRxR8cO5
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAH0zVZl3too
168Please respect copyright.PENANApt55KMlb6x
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAeCtZmsPqHc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJsRW8kmXNw
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA13uut4LsPs
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQHRhLWXUoG
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.168Please respect copyright.PENANAiuDroj05ER
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5MTg06Z5fc
"It's done," Hanna announced.168Please respect copyright.PENANAA3R1xuU2hO
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr05wOwlUSo
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."168Please respect copyright.PENANA3Go0sPx37Q
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFTLaVXNG5r
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.168Please respect copyright.PENANAqXr7XVcRUM
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8azMkvuHN9
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."168Please respect copyright.PENANA8OeqCLi9Vl
168Please respect copyright.PENANAS0EaqmgEH0
"That's it?"168Please respect copyright.PENANAqsDw5Warqj
168Please respect copyright.PENANAatoDsgvz8p
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"168Please respect copyright.PENANAfm0tDcD2h9
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX1ZyXEmrSJ
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.168Please respect copyright.PENANATPr4ONYPno
168Please respect copyright.PENANAbdsDaIvb4A
"Tremors, sweating-"168Please respect copyright.PENANAou3UDU7Qzd
168Please respect copyright.PENANAw4GyQG2P0E
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.168Please respect copyright.PENANAKOUzdkGn9Z
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4TofEYu7A7
Laughter came through the speaker.168Please respect copyright.PENANAFWTsaasE2l
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGCmdW80IFV
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."168Please respect copyright.PENANANrzuHnURPJ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHs9bfvvT9t
"How big?"168Please respect copyright.PENANA1vLrDihfRv
168Please respect copyright.PENANAc6i0WSE83o
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."168Please respect copyright.PENANA7GrFBLXT4r
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZcIJKVo4ef
"So yeah, that's it."168Please respect copyright.PENANAtnykjuN0o2
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMsK8Wtq35A
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAteSAI0q3gT
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf3eUdepDdG
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.168Please respect copyright.PENANAWveBQfVVCs
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8QrYnTh6MZ
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.168Please respect copyright.PENANAmeBAx0fCTg
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0jewo3ncHr
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.168Please respect copyright.PENANA8fvMguvVRw
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxM8O1KoiF6
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.168Please respect copyright.PENANAMXIuegGC6i
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvuSKwAlNLq
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.168Please respect copyright.PENANAXposgYRwXw
168Please respect copyright.PENANA93j5LaWemD
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"168Please respect copyright.PENANA5nWdoOveQ6
168Please respect copyright.PENANAn4zLkKNUgi
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."168Please respect copyright.PENANAzM73RVqXbU
168Please respect copyright.PENANARYiilD4vbn
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."168Please respect copyright.PENANA0O9Ji2CTcW
168Please respect copyright.PENANAL7B62Szagr
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."168Please respect copyright.PENANAljUftIDMTD
168Please respect copyright.PENANAHPFjQyoPnk
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.168Please respect copyright.PENANAKFKtk8IwEF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVL7Sj4aClQ
"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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAttj7ST1yth
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAFkXCeUM7Q
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."168Please respect copyright.PENANADjOIjx0fVW
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."168Please respect copyright.PENANAF4q6edtatu

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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAfv6mcZ2OBE
