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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAA8w3yJL8wc
115Please respect copyright.PENANAR3NKu54g2z
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANANmOCb1i4LJ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAaWT2vIjnVz
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAOiGdIvvhV4
115Please respect copyright.PENANAMGZfOAaPgB
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."115Please respect copyright.PENANAvT41zaztoU
115Please respect copyright.PENANApzU4C3BWLG
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANACrFwyacVCc
115Please respect copyright.PENANANkVy56lXbT
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAhKPe4k3xhl
115Please respect copyright.PENANACt6orfA2zF
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.115Please respect copyright.PENANADmYWOJpVqL
115Please respect copyright.PENANAz4W9QOEZ5c
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.115Please respect copyright.PENANApBhs6M866E
115Please respect copyright.PENANAoe2SeT0QiC
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAfq2X671bah
115Please respect copyright.PENANAQUrlrbto02
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANApCcx9FUQSM
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7uvN9Y2aYc
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAtdvou38QL8
115Please respect copyright.PENANAHHvvSlNUoQ
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAHPZh4Fgm6d
115Please respect copyright.PENANAV78sZm2p3H
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAxlUVT1xP3K
115Please respect copyright.PENANAd84jhfVVyb
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.115Please respect copyright.PENANA8EDC4ILDZJ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAc82jH49l0u
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.115Please respect copyright.PENANAmBEWQDeMCH
115Please respect copyright.PENANAAfn3dHlAAn
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAgXvvzvPzV2
115Please respect copyright.PENANATlQPnFZiPe
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAg2aE11CZLH
115Please respect copyright.PENANAeAlYG096Zg
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.115Please respect copyright.PENANArfPUnzKoXk
115Please respect copyright.PENANAsDwZOM7EJl
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.115Please respect copyright.PENANAkaKg8ienPP
115Please respect copyright.PENANAgB4dbk5ofx
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.115Please respect copyright.PENANAlb6GWIEpIC
115Please respect copyright.PENANAz1vDiSiPSO
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.115Please respect copyright.PENANA7l3yY6RCX2
115Please respect copyright.PENANAISWxgj8Bas
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.115Please respect copyright.PENANAhqTUNldtLk
115Please respect copyright.PENANAoQHeMsCkNQ
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."115Please respect copyright.PENANAKGao8MfIVP
115Please respect copyright.PENANAL6b37OOQlR
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.115Please respect copyright.PENANAb7dKMralGJ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAVAB7TEGltf
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.115Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8BhAtA7T1
115Please respect copyright.PENANAVGwhIPP54D
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANApg2tkF6K9s
115Please respect copyright.PENANAtS6laOYzgq
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAlhBuo9WZkB
115Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1WI7Zg9rG
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.115Please respect copyright.PENANAaCQZ64iZIC
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfL7pxJPvy5
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.115Please respect copyright.PENANAkPLSYRzR0w
115Please respect copyright.PENANABKiDlszaqQ
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAEan6SnVvVq
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7GLs8zioAO
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"115Please respect copyright.PENANAbemMAu4Mpr
115Please respect copyright.PENANAqLFDUa0nE0
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.115Please respect copyright.PENANABC1Po4svdq
115Please respect copyright.PENANAIUTkttUcw7
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAPtQPEE1MX6
115Please respect copyright.PENANAwYMqCZgkDW
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAKUkc3YKyHS
115Please respect copyright.PENANA1wdGN4P9Qq
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAN38AGX1x0n
115Please respect copyright.PENANAiQQ4Ybd5SK
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANABUjZ0Y3Bby
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bf32paOjS
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAGeuFklbaSB
115Please respect copyright.PENANAHcYpqMuTu4
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAuUEx7yu8lp
115Please respect copyright.PENANA2U7M0QnGuQ
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAfLr9Gkxp0A
115Please respect copyright.PENANARYCvyXIRLL
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAdbvoKujwfw
115Please respect copyright.PENANAsjSDgf6OZk
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAkyotQbmMuK
115Please respect copyright.PENANApsIYBQIUDd
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.115Please respect copyright.PENANAMvZE0aAVnR
115Please respect copyright.PENANA2burJNTOjJ
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."115Please respect copyright.PENANA56UU6fExbs
115Please respect copyright.PENANAJ05A1sEu2v
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.115Please respect copyright.PENANAuRdhrAb1qb
115Please respect copyright.PENANAmn6OF6hNQf
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAMTL99ErqKB
115Please respect copyright.PENANA706qBJSBiT
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vn4fi74Hi
115Please respect copyright.PENANADKTLjfFLb4
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.115Please respect copyright.PENANAH5I0zzy8wu
115Please respect copyright.PENANAybKlOKjmrL
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.115Please respect copyright.PENANAPJlraYdD1i
115Please respect copyright.PENANApMKd9MifxV
"How?" Hanna asked.115Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pvti33MAm
115Please respect copyright.PENANA0EqjuW8eif
Kayla gestured to her body.115Please respect copyright.PENANA0oXXFJwIHA
115Please respect copyright.PENANATISbmRpjNr
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.115Please respect copyright.PENANAXFhCDaxUmX
115Please respect copyright.PENANAjFULwfYKI6
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.115Please respect copyright.PENANAdrSRhiK3QC
115Please respect copyright.PENANAbwffbxEfqJ
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.115Please respect copyright.PENANAVApK63Ouvy
115Please respect copyright.PENANA2CuWsbnmTw
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."115Please respect copyright.PENANAYtA2Y5sLQP
115Please respect copyright.PENANAHPD4usfYIf
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."115Please respect copyright.PENANAyol1s9yRMm
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7NnadTMahc
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.115Please respect copyright.PENANA0mbwnC43la
115Please respect copyright.PENANAc91318mWoQ
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAe8SCKLlIyS
115Please respect copyright.PENANAiSIOLLlek3
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA4E6ZAjGrNG
115Please respect copyright.PENANACtCZsyaSeN
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAZhdnuc0BJL
115Please respect copyright.PENANApafrMHoPUu
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAGduY5CMznR
115Please respect copyright.PENANAt8wTsIRigo
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAgPHzindX3o
115Please respect copyright.PENANAYiqwzjzRe0
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANApUQKXcWnKQ
115Please respect copyright.PENANA8bx6JWZh8s
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAlBQjMq0cTH
115Please respect copyright.PENANAbdpyylaekf
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAitpSbEQahO
115Please respect copyright.PENANAUG8Hf6LIfq
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA1QZEoiUoa5
115Please respect copyright.PENANAM8UQGXttUk
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.115Please respect copyright.PENANAfCr76ylmes
115Please respect copyright.PENANAMglNywPZEM
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAYKCRzTbz2M
115Please respect copyright.PENANAcDKOi2XiVV
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.115Please respect copyright.PENANAYdE87OeV2z
115Please respect copyright.PENANAUcprDoD49S
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAArAmVz9VU0
115Please respect copyright.PENANAHsklEaUg02
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAbIAOgwycd5
115Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQ1gEYEYF
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA49DPOtHtLS
115Please respect copyright.PENANAyB2wuesmGf
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAYqwzpLZjhE
115Please respect copyright.PENANAUjlTQf1THN
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAsYfNij06ZA
115Please respect copyright.PENANAzyg6lxdV01
"What happened?" Kayla asked.115Please respect copyright.PENANA7V52Fw8Yg1
115Please respect copyright.PENANAxAn0iXl0bb
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."115Please respect copyright.PENANAUWK2mbI7H9
115Please respect copyright.PENANAXL7zxB1PsC
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA36ulKHsl37
115Please respect copyright.PENANAOOztDytNJm
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.115Please respect copyright.PENANAIjBJRckNFs
115Please respect copyright.PENANAlR1gOQI0dL
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"115Please respect copyright.PENANAArGZnAdBuz
115Please respect copyright.PENANARHoNffDw68
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA1iPJG9ixpA
115Please respect copyright.PENANAE5tP0I9r5x
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.115Please respect copyright.PENANA1B3CRVvIOA
115Please respect copyright.PENANALe12bAZh4m
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAQQKtAK49QR
115Please respect copyright.PENANAaflQlk7hxz
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAVqPynIQaf1
115Please respect copyright.PENANAofhhpZjdmK
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAxNWcmnfN8c
115Please respect copyright.PENANACnUOAqhZEY
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAolWJncDh8p
115Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8K8rhSRDI
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA9w2zIEAkSI
115Please respect copyright.PENANA9BJMNtVMvo
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANA3OB229cpqa
115Please respect copyright.PENANApT496vWvGC
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAIfEitlTz1m
115Please respect copyright.PENANAyyPHGUSzJb
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.115Please respect copyright.PENANAKPscjF9QCZ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAKHWiBhcgcr
"It's done," Hanna announced.115Please respect copyright.PENANAp1Tyh8idai
115Please respect copyright.PENANAAhiAf51ei2
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."115Please respect copyright.PENANAO9ZPN4bhb0
115Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lr0iFQMnm
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.115Please respect copyright.PENANAzcqoC3Ssm1
115Please respect copyright.PENANAPmrSWO9YyF
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."115Please respect copyright.PENANAYCz537N3fy
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfuDvSE4WAz
"That's it?"115Please respect copyright.PENANAAvHok6IS0q
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfeZW3i7gcT
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"115Please respect copyright.PENANAD5owhAtSaR
115Please respect copyright.PENANAEswwb9lYQ5
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.115Please respect copyright.PENANAkD1CwuSYMC
115Please respect copyright.PENANAqhBawwWWeB
"Tremors, sweating-"115Please respect copyright.PENANATN2I2dQ3JN
115Please respect copyright.PENANAKuwWpABH9J
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.115Please respect copyright.PENANArlxeEmcAOV
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfqCrvoGLnf
Laughter came through the speaker.115Please respect copyright.PENANA76WOz35QBK
115Please respect copyright.PENANA60WDMrhhlU
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."115Please respect copyright.PENANAb7rtOuFXxZ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAcX4PKJsrOy
"How big?"115Please respect copyright.PENANAwtBHaQr5gp
115Please respect copyright.PENANAnFvZHDwEkw
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."115Please respect copyright.PENANAbmKSO1Aovm
115Please respect copyright.PENANAmrgmjk9uJ8
"So yeah, that's it."115Please respect copyright.PENANADl2eDyvLbJ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfikDzrwG64
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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAGSz73S3cWR
115Please respect copyright.PENANArYPcwsRIs2
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.115Please respect copyright.PENANACwKugpu255
115Please respect copyright.PENANAOWK39JcswD
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.115Please respect copyright.PENANAHG81kCQel2
115Please respect copyright.PENANA8LV9yT72W9
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.115Please respect copyright.PENANAkN3NRWCcLZ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAwHWEvZ7nqi
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.115Please respect copyright.PENANA4C9fx686PC
115Please respect copyright.PENANAp1UcX8ch68
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.115Please respect copyright.PENANAkzn5HGKiLU
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfGPeTrEdwx
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"115Please respect copyright.PENANAl5SDoYLffW
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5d3xu58ArW
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."115Please respect copyright.PENANApVybP0yiXf
115Please respect copyright.PENANAo1PVtti914
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."115Please respect copyright.PENANAiq0L1bdOHw
115Please respect copyright.PENANA3stSZQpw0z
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."115Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ5nQVRdU2
115Please respect copyright.PENANAPMC888ciH8
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.115Please respect copyright.PENANAuP4hx9cTLW
115Please respect copyright.PENANAPlXIvt6liA
"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.115Please respect copyright.PENANAhsg4sEcYXE
