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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIPKMlXpYk
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MFPQsxtFG
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuKnudPkPv
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAH03HF8Ss
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkY0UvBlWT
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7zefGg55y
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOfzo7YZ2B
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2tp6nlc8T
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRRadktu5g
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizCF4LYZWS
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrimI35ZuV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0bJ6A4a53
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM6DQP01ud
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg39hS6X0lj
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70e1QYrB9P
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuOJEtj81
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRAYqo7L6W
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qw6CKE7va
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ010Gwew1oI
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun3pk8hMNq
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3HiAeLyHg
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832dDYGmi8
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxltIfOs72
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rCQcfkyq9
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeMTe2B0fW
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBuipShsAX
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPnfO5U5QN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBnmDyum9
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ECWH4bY1L
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNJnlg6Hc8
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJKilE2Zx
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrNtpXuzWz
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI2ZfeMye5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP2rzm1QKS
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9mSKweYBe
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZLExCcejA
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWhtY6jkKt
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0aoZCUaXa
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB92hkHkKa
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aar6sT8h7
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH3I4Zrw0Z
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KKSdOSjwn
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5IJwgAXt
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseaL8BBkfg
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED1lqBZ6Si
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2QCTHXg7n
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2hE0vpcCq
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzk4ITAzO4
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZh01elRUm
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINawH0Fe80
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQTdpnXzH5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfbHwCcf0i
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRIJSiss5i
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0waLdJk4
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQjyse1EP2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNs7z6sDVk
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4ZyoWo5PY
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6cjsOoy1
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx0WF5avOH
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9quPmmC3L
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLJijlQs9F
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb3fB0os4c
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zK4uXM4Wg
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMMkMEI5Kx
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqZun4sRrs
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV49uNcpez
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHtohSpX2C
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcQjMZXOvK
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9khVSS5Xqr
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvXl3n9jiB
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNxMQKn99L
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGnFKeurR
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpk30NS3HF
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK84s4SG9A
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVzIdrcjgd
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgguaw7Uvfz
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieDA2AWCgI
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpoa7U5QSj
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkbnRv1Q84
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMqBWirWmR
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ78uE2R9fx
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZ7ujvr4H
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYZOv37sE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wqoiayPmq
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDM9znTbsB
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0REJfGvlXq
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYOAqIzU6T
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cuNZBN7F0
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Dlw0Cta2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ILxn1zFbP
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlkr3JMlM
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DKl8nZozw
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92tK3B08ti
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp9rXNMcCk
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbQIpXkZZh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaff5QIJaMe
"How?" Hanna asked.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZJybsCKn
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5biceAgVQ
Kayla gestured to her body.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivzOWh0HE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy9UrxA5t3
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P2wQxkI12
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCV5YHTYhR
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWPAQvcEY2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx6RnqxkjQ
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a4fMSNa56
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK4zCjnNny
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbhDZANQrH
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ftssQBVR
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAX8Wz2qwX
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0x9C9mI5
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU2yaYSbVq
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNurkxKXlW
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFl6Dmo8BA
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrcFn1B0oA
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejlSCQ3fGx
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluV1FsZhju
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gjij85133
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6duAEmHOWK
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJwKMYdxUJ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcX52jtHrN
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ2MpgQinJ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA76H3U5P3q
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcgHd59STE
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK96kP7qMd
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rtwgJ7eg5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4O88qj3Bb
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ6aVzqk5Y
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUvBmUHWY2
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9fUv82ko3
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb7BcCtGtf
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyAz9xCNOt
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrZeX65lGJ
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPm5kTDpko
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fZrg6R3j5
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxxdid4kz2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr9TGIb1Qt
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MPcENvEwO
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHzTgC1m7Y
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZOXy4R9PY
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFl5JaByMl
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiSCFCsO4
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVShVTjEkej
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDhL1QOndP
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP92lEj1TZ
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfERBXLWQD
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRQ1IKVQvO
"What happened?" Kayla asked.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfLZI47Hte
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxpGT2UuVY
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxuPn2gV0c
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfBcvKdQSV
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnZCWxQNUF
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKS6yIRHyf
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztlsnuEzxj
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4myLSqih
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsDPh4zh0p
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkilESrvubg
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N3fs8Yp0o
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLa4Kk0gGo
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ6EGWiTKO
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPWvfH5xD4
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X39GnCa32
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Eyjk8wAE
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQKTl8FCQg
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaAkFdOrdG
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0szrUvSxz7
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lFqK40q8W
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru8DoMDWEb
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzKHmc7X89
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa18CAWuqT
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQHg24MGH
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HFHyb2JA9
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLIPogQk2n
"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJGUVM4S95
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ksJGqz5L
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86L55L0MhD
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2eXqXGzhu
"It's done," Hanna announced.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB8sI4xHgP
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcsNW3Zhwg
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdePCDbCkub
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PRbP5H4Xd
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOAKu5CNZn
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZnlmHtKkb
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKDk8MP9ih
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyBIsUSLAu
"That's it?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdeOfVCDsh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2L4ld2pv7
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFcv2208OP
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQzulugeyo
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4D9hPrOQ3
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bdfkmPW5N
"Tremors, sweating-"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9LrdrGuv7
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjqkEBEdNE
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm668bKKHP
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdewTAcmqJ
Laughter came through the speaker.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyEzvWbyuI
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCYvqQwD4f
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73tmABTBE0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcTlqlemi
"How big?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEAeZK69M7
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxUkyKcrr
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe6rdt3gZ4
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYZUEfY6Fk
"So yeah, that's it."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyR49elO3R
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTjskrkcPe
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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X531jgDCd
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjVByaNlj
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa43IsyNy8
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVtMWgRQws
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivihxCMQRz
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aydE3CLKX
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNpMtVkhJs
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07PoqtF3H
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgcIuqMN3j
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyiExg7It4
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3fQ6pmVXV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsWvT6uHpU
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJMm0KTBi1
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37soAq90xK
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvLP6v7mqr
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx3JC1C6Xc
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."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwQ3B9SLb5
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhN5KsDsCB
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR9XgAarNh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTwmql1XXb
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphopZDIVr1

"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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Wg61xDb1

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."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89kKy3IAFI
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."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCH7zZfKZR

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."66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa3RwtVApH

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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnicpHRLH0n

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr41pC7QQ1

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.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQyxqHRxsU
