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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNEky35cCv
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUpsW8t0ul
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DwNDPwTAP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuilc2oIn4
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqttht0DQHl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcl7cn8Cvy
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSb8KT9kZo
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYY1B2VP7M
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJhXIlVesI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd7EWlJWFD
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJXoFllYq
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC3BwoVPVn
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLly0Lm27N4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKns5lnTUkH
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNnPyNmzF9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mEQDJVh1j
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMsCtGk96
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZCT2MAOl
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlScviqOt5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEclrGicfDJ
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXxbWAZqU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRqfLnV2Mk
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfn5rMqtp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHQ3Wpdqt
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQVLKGAXrK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1B62COyrA
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzP3PkaW7L
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq3d6RxpI7
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyMEbtiQl6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnw6TqPVpL
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNfBrMlmuW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNCuupJbS8
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMuoveZpHc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eGUw20gMw
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHAVnXzpxu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoKN2lFXqk
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYx4zKEaVl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9UU7zescp
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6rEfWEIzG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cek1IMhYx
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmygGBIOap
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhOobiswTz
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwJdHblXa6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWMPe40mZr
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRsoISf33L
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kiGBp5ANL
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ4dqS6ggX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2yFeN8JK
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yot3MHMHx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gEIoSaBf
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9X4xDclRH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoXGC3BKnV
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkoEozFg09
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rxI20JRL
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRG63G7Ydz
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0RHk4Au0
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx50VJgdpy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnd3TpTQPm
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVxUiL0jRZ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSO6q6YkDa
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFOok74EvD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eLGZzQwm2
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex5gzO6VL4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3RYw4RxBP
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrgZwAa4bI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhag47tGaK
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GyeNIdnuG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Ob3q5xqI
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUkimvFP8v
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2kHu575Ug
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUkqMyyulA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIhWePi0V8
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEH8l9coxs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI2kyFotcA
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc86yw6kwj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIVKmrpIHZ
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa8AqW6lCS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7kbg1PYlv
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVpsnzXrnH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ6OueOJD4
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4CeMkjfwd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCfF0YUOF1
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWHHZIfz0m
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8NvMr72vZ
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeswBBG94TA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpqZBTkyhp
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F2JkbYZJM
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgLWvqVS0E
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyGW1b359c
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcffZVMvY3B
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqJaMJU8l
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfodIHrman
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI2vvoj4G9
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm6u801FI1
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMTSSo5DpM
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qVYHYN38m
"How?" Hanna asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRWrClStKu
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyjNaNSlAo
Kayla gestured to her body.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ck9m1NKzt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOvPe7xMQ4
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8HmipY9Yy
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmHNhhe5XC
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE6YI0bO1w
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvEOsCIbJ
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqQJ0Tiqin
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DcSLBnZQL
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qzHSIKnbt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwlz8PE2kl
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx86aKwhWyA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn4rtH58oM
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb7laCSREo
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKSnzbW9Bj
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngnAztbfyp
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPR9cMpmdX
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ITUJyy04b
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQayRkmBmC
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFMAi7bRXj
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWA7hQzGFN
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfGcLrmIKc
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5JGlEaNNd
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWq7IylRT1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9NTLYcOx
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCq5VCT8ST
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0fbrp6Ayr
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPeXVcDRSt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0YYCPzMZt
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdgzIqC1w
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU1EsElgoL
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo435547yL
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtpwI9DR1f
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz29AQt9ROI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5z4ygHvEA
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSle7YgFvX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5We7MxAql
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvrqGpYuUz
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcKpbLJ8Ib
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYzv0QCjny
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5fvC9sHio
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEBXdSwdvQ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhXjXYfvzR
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxN6LwJVZA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluTt6wDH1k
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmET9txatb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJLg9EEhxa
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2KIcGvbGD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ubmbGUcZ
"What happened?" Kayla asked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYnMntqsk4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2AN7LZvVa
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4j9thUDpw
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH3oihmTJI
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzKZSb3vGi
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AvWp97Tfq
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5yidrnXoK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWoFKbTyR
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUsW4K3YbB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V5LKD7E1S
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcwdxp7MNn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9uALx7TvI
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUgK2jNeCI
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qyexhqoUJ
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg7OeBEYnY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WsZzewOaR
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zu2DyaeX8
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT77XRcOnQO
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp7yf2X59G
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUKEjBO7Ie
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZLXB0p88k
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUALOSo0aAh
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJcUhyFVju
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2B1jjxBRK
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxH2pUpMx4
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlBkFdC6XP
"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLauxIWwG
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBgDdXFeCm
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5BCum3rT5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp16T1JPIz
"It's done," Hanna announced.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MHG8TLpST
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOCU4f9muU
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7O9vYf33
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YXuS2WqYp
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZLjaMDvyt
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqcYFRr3Uz
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieO5mnlOew
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7gmYlqOeZ
"That's it?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6icvF1TXW
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr4gjiID9w
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u8wfGfhbU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZhstSZpF
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj8ILDTjxa
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRHnUXXwFt
"Tremors, sweating-"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rzSG0Q9Wk
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3KitlOxOp
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtMX5PqEXK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgHe5IvNGG
Laughter came through the speaker.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzaD2QiHdT
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ057NStZFFo
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiQU3cp99T
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuInfBbse54
"How big?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcQIU40gMU
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRMsHDNDiR
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0S8e340SK
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c3wgw06ON
"So yeah, that's it."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2M2kA0iaC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZqMnNBjIr
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Vvbo03dD
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTWtMRGNpS
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbtxyv2Bmd
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlEjX8lZFa
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZWvfE0DcJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMrCEvFAyq
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M6c6kjsN3
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpSklIgQlX
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rzVASc1Qg
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmsAItNMK
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzpUZcb9y6
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xMolhsZ0Z
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hyF3gcLf5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX3O1Qy7FY
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJvPJmkzRh

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."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9mo73FzKQ

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwifwraTIc

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwFPL8v8AF

"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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7EFcmMw40

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."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjKnQp47Z6
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."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSQdL99oMN

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."133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEFKcFIY1D

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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWhZ6tkLY

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xOyVUTgM

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw4wzw3WuO

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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpz0Sl6DOm
