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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAK2j4Wpktwe
108Please respect copyright.PENANAxzWsHyAo2S
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAqrJV03ktFk
108Please respect copyright.PENANAf5sE7BvRp6
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAy5ED6THukV
108Please respect copyright.PENANA06Rf3C8Pdy
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."108Please respect copyright.PENANAQyHMDd7y9Y
108Please respect copyright.PENANAWWHkXKBVzx
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAELoW1RQmWD
108Please respect copyright.PENANAxfUnzhDRvI
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAvhDzv4sPXT
108Please respect copyright.PENANAgn6KmDxDXz
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.108Please respect copyright.PENANAMkaFhZ3eRI
108Please respect copyright.PENANAbP7kqsgWoW
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.108Please respect copyright.PENANA4xbAag4Nh4
108Please respect copyright.PENANA3j1I9V894P
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANA5DtZStUzS5
108Please respect copyright.PENANALxONPOAVy5
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANASC2haqXZOR
108Please respect copyright.PENANAMdZfgI1Rrk
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAlmTo4ZEfss
108Please respect copyright.PENANA59g7zX9Fm7
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAzH3J8MG8gb
108Please respect copyright.PENANA42b5ZzI3nA
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAmM7RAnvVEV
108Please respect copyright.PENANANDUfxkhEtr
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.108Please respect copyright.PENANAdQpMB9ZSIV
108Please respect copyright.PENANAMJsdmjf3Hu
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.108Please respect copyright.PENANAEbeHlbD7cs
108Please respect copyright.PENANAS45VqTI5ph
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANASUITQl171h
108Please respect copyright.PENANAmEOkbD1bSl
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAfSFOQB8I1W
108Please respect copyright.PENANAwC7ajay25B
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.108Please respect copyright.PENANACRiJlBkA2R
108Please respect copyright.PENANAxv4CStDZ1e
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.108Please respect copyright.PENANAfJSXUcBhbH
108Please respect copyright.PENANAxvXdWrEtnk
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.108Please respect copyright.PENANAwHSg0bTzFu
108Please respect copyright.PENANA0sqjoFTJz9
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.108Please respect copyright.PENANANvTnrcEKqx
108Please respect copyright.PENANAivYGTyxjw2
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.108Please respect copyright.PENANALrSEw4aZoI
108Please respect copyright.PENANAsNixWTgpIB
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."108Please respect copyright.PENANA8P9OiIsfDa
108Please respect copyright.PENANAvnZzL1blKX
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.108Please respect copyright.PENANABtF1Jrq4jO
108Please respect copyright.PENANAbau8O6BzBn
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.108Please respect copyright.PENANAi01eBYGLOj
108Please respect copyright.PENANAUIRGIfASja
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANA1kJkt39EGe
108Please respect copyright.PENANAJPOQFoW970
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAuOnvTWz89w
108Please respect copyright.PENANA0liVJuD5nq
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.108Please respect copyright.PENANASv2N8YTN3R
108Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q6IKeGQA4
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.108Please respect copyright.PENANAHq6psq8RnK
108Please respect copyright.PENANAk91OtwkjRW
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAY4HfkVx5ud
108Please respect copyright.PENANACFpeTQKAgP
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"108Please respect copyright.PENANAKdZcoSNfeq
108Please respect copyright.PENANAHgDrq4rkMB
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.108Please respect copyright.PENANAizJ9tEWecn
108Please respect copyright.PENANAcktG3YVi6B
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAWelIqmTnro
108Please respect copyright.PENANACwzNPMfYgg
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAyxDKC6b27g
108Please respect copyright.PENANAgiUAl9SAld
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANACCQ4aBBJf2
108Please respect copyright.PENANAs1QYjL7QKG
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANATFDqTUNTMB
108Please respect copyright.PENANA3UE7WNQPB1
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAYgLB89A4ml
108Please respect copyright.PENANA5OrNvL75P4
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAe8xfKnzg4g
108Please respect copyright.PENANALIGDX0TBwa
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAfI2YGVSz0N
108Please respect copyright.PENANAZwuNj2d8fi
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANALD4e5kx3xV
108Please respect copyright.PENANAv9jYCglfBU
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAfrVt2QFXBF
108Please respect copyright.PENANAZQtXZNasyJ
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.108Please respect copyright.PENANAUX2Sd4Z3pa
108Please respect copyright.PENANAGrqtJutLWh
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."108Please respect copyright.PENANAykIT9KQWzX
108Please respect copyright.PENANAK9YX01AkNe
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.108Please respect copyright.PENANAferTX8qH9g
108Please respect copyright.PENANAAHRNMqrT24
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANA911kXCDtWa
108Please respect copyright.PENANAH1JvnPQuHW
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAFbytw43FHF
108Please respect copyright.PENANA3LTe8hUrAY
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.108Please respect copyright.PENANAthfsgMUvSu
108Please respect copyright.PENANAmxDmD2505g
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.108Please respect copyright.PENANAPeediH2f3M
108Please respect copyright.PENANAQqie0tkrkS
"How?" Hanna asked.108Please respect copyright.PENANA27ngDOWe6d
108Please respect copyright.PENANACp8m777Ae9
Kayla gestured to her body.108Please respect copyright.PENANAOeDXHvi3Yi
108Please respect copyright.PENANA7NB8ATEqHb
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.108Please respect copyright.PENANAzVGvxGJF3u
108Please respect copyright.PENANAStv0bairTX
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.108Please respect copyright.PENANAsNAUe8UERR
108Please respect copyright.PENANAX9OQdBApqB
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.108Please respect copyright.PENANAcJaLexr3T3
108Please respect copyright.PENANAK8MU7tyiuK
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."108Please respect copyright.PENANAo6O2RcXojb
108Please respect copyright.PENANAb5EohEkqIJ
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."108Please respect copyright.PENANAztnJBw9euB
108Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1eNBAOqX1
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.108Please respect copyright.PENANAbDEVPY57Z4
108Please respect copyright.PENANA6AB9PDvgmP
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAtO1B6zZEdd
108Please respect copyright.PENANAya1HG4XREh
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAgKo1bR5Vpx
108Please respect copyright.PENANAWJfdTKWrae
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANATzomTENZ4B
108Please respect copyright.PENANAE4saXdqrdT
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAzKPBZKJYcw
108Please respect copyright.PENANA4lPyeIEjJ1
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAWpd9fjuVWr
108Please respect copyright.PENANAnXh1S2Hn1l
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAA2OTs2Iv9u
108Please respect copyright.PENANAfWI3hR7EPI
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAnhIloAggrs
108Please respect copyright.PENANAF44ytMmwBG
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAMl1SoLV5tJ
108Please respect copyright.PENANAbouyknC9Q1
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANA2u2fhjCNv9
108Please respect copyright.PENANAdL5UeWej51
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.108Please respect copyright.PENANAiV94sso3u2
108Please respect copyright.PENANAmsXVAbOrGa
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAMSKYXVrEDh
108Please respect copyright.PENANA68IwK6fa6L
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.108Please respect copyright.PENANALdGWfRQryl
108Please respect copyright.PENANA811NOcsTem
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANApRG9efpb6r
108Please respect copyright.PENANAFJXkOkIcqR
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANASY2ZWTKAQI
108Please respect copyright.PENANAeXhHkBJnnH
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAiWLOYNBr6E
108Please respect copyright.PENANAFy7UR6PExB
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAOivHE17b2T
108Please respect copyright.PENANAQJlQkShgS9
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAvVtlTWs662
108Please respect copyright.PENANAnxhYkKjNzC
"What happened?" Kayla asked.108Please respect copyright.PENANAqfooPH9xn4
108Please respect copyright.PENANAvB7TNMXPvo
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."108Please respect copyright.PENANAfWJfxsIGZ7
108Please respect copyright.PENANAgtIyglieH6
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAS8CYpwYV4j
108Please respect copyright.PENANAH1qQmJbyYz
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.108Please respect copyright.PENANA64GFp123C8
108Please respect copyright.PENANAATrR1Fbbhu
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"108Please respect copyright.PENANAmF5jRuORH3
108Please respect copyright.PENANA0OUtMWIXuq
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAsD2FAt8v4R
108Please respect copyright.PENANAjkCrzq9wGg
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.108Please respect copyright.PENANA4IHml31Zi0
108Please respect copyright.PENANAVqMywONy8w
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAIe4VuY1iIf
108Please respect copyright.PENANAFVENlwhAh3
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAWBQqD0cleH
108Please respect copyright.PENANAFtHH7ePTqF
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAmpJmFtpan1
108Please respect copyright.PENANAVIy2wTc4vc
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAW06ouHKbad
108Please respect copyright.PENANAtkdwkeaSAi
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAWfdYOdqr1X
108Please respect copyright.PENANAYbe3gLpwmA
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANA27rUugYyGt
108Please respect copyright.PENANAtagjX0qNAU
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAN824nQkHKd
108Please respect copyright.PENANAMCa1OwcMlO
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.108Please respect copyright.PENANAG6zWsER6ZF
108Please respect copyright.PENANAfi1CgT6flv
"It's done," Hanna announced.108Please respect copyright.PENANAeQz8JCJphA
108Please respect copyright.PENANASTnd1R8yhm
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."108Please respect copyright.PENANAwHqE1wbVTc
108Please respect copyright.PENANA1PuXsvYkHp
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.108Please respect copyright.PENANAvvQYvf2K1P
108Please respect copyright.PENANAZPYifSFjyv
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."108Please respect copyright.PENANAawF0khrdcJ
108Please respect copyright.PENANAXrmCG5HTS1
"That's it?"108Please respect copyright.PENANATPJZPyzKgY
108Please respect copyright.PENANAaFtrXdEtnp
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"108Please respect copyright.PENANApwe36HeR5O
108Please respect copyright.PENANAC9eWRuwPvG
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.108Please respect copyright.PENANAHkMx9AXdIY
108Please respect copyright.PENANAIvZyJaiLnp
"Tremors, sweating-"108Please respect copyright.PENANAt4eulZOFeZ
108Please respect copyright.PENANAefKx2N6cZN
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.108Please respect copyright.PENANAM5IHNw81R1
108Please respect copyright.PENANA7DYdoWQM2k
Laughter came through the speaker.108Please respect copyright.PENANARNQqGdbhMg
108Please respect copyright.PENANA3XoNhgPVNr
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."108Please respect copyright.PENANAycqhnT5yE7
108Please respect copyright.PENANAcRe734t6w1
"How big?"108Please respect copyright.PENANAaFtFG0jGQY
108Please respect copyright.PENANA1HkwDcXy0p
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."108Please respect copyright.PENANAVpRZHvEJgi
108Please respect copyright.PENANAHRli7NcUqz
"So yeah, that's it."108Please respect copyright.PENANAQfuknMjmoc
108Please respect copyright.PENANAhw5WYYnmjf
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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAYNQuiGdXUC
108Please respect copyright.PENANAxlyWDFSFPG
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.108Please respect copyright.PENANArGB6BMyyVv
108Please respect copyright.PENANATi4d64ePyS
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.108Please respect copyright.PENANABjBeIsFEs4
108Please respect copyright.PENANApRIXyUEY0B
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.108Please respect copyright.PENANAgqsNANGXes
108Please respect copyright.PENANAnlucFylU5V
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.108Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ9wa6PV93
108Please respect copyright.PENANAwVscwnz0Wi
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.108Please respect copyright.PENANAinXmKKOIam
108Please respect copyright.PENANAdgmgh5AcAe
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"108Please respect copyright.PENANA0FcmSVwhx1
108Please respect copyright.PENANAWmiMl4YAUo
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."108Please respect copyright.PENANA3wfv2MJWaU
108Please respect copyright.PENANAlGk30QPifN
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."108Please respect copyright.PENANAWS7nuqqD0j
108Please respect copyright.PENANAml9Kzf4iN2
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."108Please respect copyright.PENANAMOCTVcIuKK
108Please respect copyright.PENANAex5YfGJZZ2
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.108Please respect copyright.PENANAWIgvHdd32I
108Please respect copyright.PENANAi5NEsr1aoG
"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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAk12gTNA06K
