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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSVmbihsRt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5beDTJZR0G
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxWtF2Vw8b
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWRErEdj5X
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HTpBfMLFP
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd7wXiI0Fp
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C2FuH95uD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dAkt0oT8y
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL1HeDseDv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Neb4aVdv
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc6V3Ys0OC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXvsmQaveW
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cNeHFQPK4
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e5Rf2yoJU
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaAjAlQZpE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaLWyXnfNs
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHUQW5Pa30
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EFmgJPPuF
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzXbcMXGWw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiIvuhWBll
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuWdlsi0mS
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUiMToFMB2
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjihocBB5M
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK69JGqSXE4
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtiesUYDRd
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs4XGAsZDp
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFQEzc4bUm
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDT4prrshI
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRKGop4t2J
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEmclgfa3B
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguxjkViOhI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmlciMqyF0
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XqOdhLxtW
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tVAo7877t
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPUXlIC0wD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgnLMaMDpj
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiSutb6L3i
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLlwuuMfu
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mV2dtV67G
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl1mEsAFY4
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zuL0A9xjT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtYRFY8ERx
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijNDFE0nje
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgGC7Kwqv
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkON1jIHE7
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8txAI0LAi
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAaacrBksI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw50ZBGleL
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXa9fxPxGy
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ychFL2lbr
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHFZXGsRcf
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2ndkRwYD
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCQbc1JW2X
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYgve7PXON
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSfLws4Km
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVWCknDaqX
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyY8OnHRjU
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul6ubMyagZ
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPgWbcINnl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfV4cuTVOj
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOSIhchSJ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGXlMtcwDr
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlxbM06p3U
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvU2gU1Hew
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbBLiUl9y4
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRcZnY2G2x
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqiQdgaCNk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh64ViE1eb
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAwfRKv9AB
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dLXu98WkR
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb3a9plnwY
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OdYsvikE
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN75ZdOiyVR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGdjLwCkRw
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQndLsT0M
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGaY2LoHm9
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdWJTi30Wr
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8akXy69vN4
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNakXqXFSSk
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlD6rTPaM
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvtzgJhNJg
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE5l6qBp3k
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OcChvu1rE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY4J5DHz4j
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBZyg8LIrw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaNVXslYqG
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJh6R9bZnG
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB0Mv8omEE
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhoKhGzsKB
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J38hsCkjD
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EOtCW8M60
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SuwERPz9T
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40EyQshCx1
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxgdJNIpY6
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEUfZxmNPx
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpOjQHdyNS
"How?" Hanna asked.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLT0MDhFLc
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFaqMsfzKL
Kayla gestured to her body.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9bx6YX3g0
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg1G6ggH1T
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPb2s3SyxM
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswjmntK8Zr
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUmifBJzkF
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eZGvI4sM6
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeGdFPMKuA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe9OlL5pRL
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI31lRX6fbA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgkPiPy2c4
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGI0PTTQvI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM4ONUjkaN
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ltiK1S1PN
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNZlxXcbWq
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMMCqCSO3g
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjnOdFyG5N
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRlxyfkd6b
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmVsIGGO4v
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp9e6lUtwR
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf9jEH13UL
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFPcBMoOUT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug2v1x4fAd
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhcAEO6A2p
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkE6rbv1zw
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVLoo1w4u
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kcdVGESEo
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3TqmtQrCl
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94hnnefTxb
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0xKlFrDyt
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6P9Vr3VSY
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVwsdXzMWT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjtSbiWOX4
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4lNWzPgnD
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdW2paW7N5
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHHMYTw4Ai
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekACoIvOvl
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy0QTKXCCz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxOk0UHq9W
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2z7ukgqaL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN31y2ZEUJ
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8WRjhFTmE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTp20LAiFy
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2LUUBEes8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8j7GtMZaC
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgOkNmpglq
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrEPBkVIER
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmexPhC5u8t
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid9bI8eNVz
"What happened?" Kayla asked.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J1Ec5A7Ux
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTshE8hOm8e
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVv1c2U33J
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq52gOKOj0
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFihXYSVxaG
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm6gkfNsFK
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcPG1lavOn
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxq2HPd2Ed
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeECCYl9PW
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSrqiZmyU4
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKViNjui0k
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOgbbzGsQ
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIRZRvsn3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv8IeGJ9le
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sfftld9mL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYXbX3ZZwC
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG59bmwE1PT
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwapzsUBTns
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASBb1GsCiY
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12QKiiCSX6
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBmMcmSC2B
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eoDihE1ow
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfwCvyLdN8
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRrtL3EIj3
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf9bLaC756
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhcIL9b4nR
"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIS5nJNWZL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpH7V5nojm
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nlMHH1ArJ
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h0datfT1m
"It's done," Hanna announced.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdLd8qbysL
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjPKMiXqr
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpiEdPr1w
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BNra6JR7F
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjqdPUfAae
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQtrhnMqf
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXCkWrYfZf
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcm9HeEK8N
"That's it?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7kr70gpNA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3TIzrQOSh
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkvQvqiFDd
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhII5jACc6Y
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFxd6VGxtz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnLVhayhVT
"Tremors, sweating-"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WKA45WFnE
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DwJy1yLdS
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRsKrAp0Y9
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwpcabLnbq
Laughter came through the speaker.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RcmFJYNw3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7RcIJeKZ6
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUqdmWfOzA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA95VnM1D6
"How big?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uv7OUMKW1
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjVB9eQhKB
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n2rX8nvIO
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAOb8poctj
"So yeah, that's it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PsW7UEC21
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGAYBHYWZU
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4p5EdoUR3
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBITOhQMJg
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp22uxMHQv
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuUI0HjM7
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlJdbS2oC
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gaocMWKti
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyiH4oMkHI
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJPpTAIIIL
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ASmdpeVz
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlv0ogUFW8
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXWD04cBCN
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BO2DvBW3L
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgdu1wwMbw
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofUr5OcGTR
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuMg91XqOB
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TfGyzC4dg
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."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Std95wZA
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zs7VxYFkD
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpq87aYvQa
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjhq7dygmv
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzzbb0I2Vi

"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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATyHKXMSGh

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."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtp5YTYQyG
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."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DlY8veoKc

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."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo80sqKCDD

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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw80iaAF6j
