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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkCsDE4oOu
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3mb804ntB
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZOwp1tylx
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRdkJb1IoN
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bbhAJfmX
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbq8JTt61A
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oQuPUcQJj
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUogMzfUQ5j
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMNVBWTfD
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jcGqoN0IM
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokmfs3LYiV
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK3IcqelTD
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBmI8D8Dl2
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb5RcokCbB
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1xru96XpH
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2diq6MSrU6
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkt7EcBoMV
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf4UWdj2Pf
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlfcjZvXPA
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXL4ilTtOo
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95vuD8OWL4
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQiom9Div
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPpLthfex9
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNp7L0PZBa
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDuMA7ujCg
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW25YaAO7kA
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqvT7lBoNo
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13R7ij4Mka
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQHJ6zDX7A
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s5xMPzY7T
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTPuhVzUJr
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzassOOsd7D
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuf2PTETO3
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazbrsRXhas
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV85UhVW7vH
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodfkR9Ns4d
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKv6xCLf3q
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4QWprRYs7
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwDrJl4wr
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HjzO2VO6H
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSRLUplwaf
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12YvIRTwm7
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EIwPnr0wo
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO2uVVBsEW
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKbPmeOcS
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbR1FF2v7
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRfrTd1oh
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT50UpTHvKV
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1oOGl8DFG
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN5Syc9fUr
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKMxD22BuQ
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAEXuisKem
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRXYRGkCMH
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaTxU54nuT
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHhJ7vJ5cE
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzpG63WRBi
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud3BF17fPU
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrLumQOKVE
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgQak0NGsj
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU7bYKHPYk
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiZtAfVJzi
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0OyONNIb
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ11pC88i0Y
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO9vsKCuOw
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvi6tS9pQ1
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13GkmL5uAL
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGD6acHrE
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauD2W5NgfV
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbE3L5VXf0
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAdQlxPAOA
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbIjzObULc
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvFHm53dnY
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZj7kPBwnK
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3KtZjf8Rr
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwoVzydHoH
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqERcg7AHn6
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1WSoWjZQ0
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcLLAfq1c
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdl8pkj1nh
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2RStUurUw
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaNVX6XTag
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqayxSGK8T
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IeioAS1Rd
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROeadaQULo
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ce6ALVYCM
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u9rTNmQgd
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDWdvMGyu2
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN4exlXX1t
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHuMAARcbk
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuOt0mqwPD
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulz4yzKnOH
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdol4ydlDSs
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEncfdppMT
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZw8u3kAn2
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRjVGTmXZF
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTtQSuMWC6
"How?" Hanna asked.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KES5753Iq
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecyNDB6Ojb
Kayla gestured to her body.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHDx6SRlbA
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVBWAp1vXW
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvbEkgv70P
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCkD3eHkg
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAInvSDiTgY
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMcQqn7IUB
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMx7QLTdc6
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyfxt52b8w
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z79YTYjQn
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjJCi6klHb
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YtVMNLzyY
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBdSsnEmDX
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUDreJGXGo
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkJrif2UW
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL04W3ihRCL
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO33p8J95Pf
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTGcPnHBAY
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc2Tm4IZEr
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GNNARSqg5
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WaCd9lMJ
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGECi3qYqb5
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOMJ5H5nKP
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQLB2SjsA
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzDueFQzuZ
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoV1qoGSru
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMyhAjK9wV
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ3PyJRFP0
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDWt2Z0pCM
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YyO7Da5b
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3JY3gmifY
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFfZI8js5u
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjrwscdzmb
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jXPd5oCAK
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIjHzgTP8Z
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7eyad4PSl
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X82nC25IZ
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5AZNYAaLz
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Xs6OAtM3
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYgzO26Rea
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWk27VhEMw
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfhMQOOBc3
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPIzJaIdo9
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzr1VpYFb
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dkp6YueBy
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UNNXvId5G
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRhOvXwsx8
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhOKZU7umH
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj4a36p8Jr
"What happened?" Kayla asked.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhESGB1r6n
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUGRYXLU7y
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMBEuWjNEi
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE6XnpfsvU
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfjIuuJS7D
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfHzPASb6l
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp7wZYrtXJ
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0HrDzG610
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqIEpFYYNa
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Unrt8xWSH
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4WXUeGM8x
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y353noEBc
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuMV9h3V6c
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAtGMtULd5
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ct2IVx1Cv
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzDFsnxIWY
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9WLcL7Jjf
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckEwFhnORv
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLdtCQOD7O
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMhSNyM3Wp
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqYGfAnmRz
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif6BH232Cb
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tbdcEkAs8
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbrCRR7I2A
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nRni958Pt
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Go3PV13qL
"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhCZTZ8pF
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpDktmQXH1
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLMAdkqopp
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVahJip6hby
"It's done," Hanna announced.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs8oHg4JGJ
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXtvgN7RdU
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZj6u25dev
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6osmZKPMW
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntn0J0Jy0a

198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUeWbi0ma
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRAbMpfZHK

"Tremors, sweating-"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdBqummShL

"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJVxVYS8rl
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwq4tVhIxN
Laughter came through the speaker.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ686o6oIzk4

"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrHG1Ns0fs

"So yeah, that's it."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vri3DE7tk
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5SAw2j22F
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAlpt6O732
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQoe1cPMn3
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6eL0oFbT5
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxhDBWzzTW
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU4EwVokEg
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWm2IccLyV
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP7837FSRs
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf8KNOal9u
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6MtffIRpN
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSbWOZL9QM
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FjDoDTvte
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacLu3YeJmX
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6yDkCRKbo
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTvdeXP0oM
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2zSzcpV02

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."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBjENDx7Co

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZxnBWPhLt

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5LfRuYX2v

"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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRQQkkeHdN

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."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPbSsZwBHt
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."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsquSHuwKN

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."198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqVp2MxB5e

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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vBTS37if

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4FH7QdKcI

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNB9Je92eV

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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Vfe9DjZR
