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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYf64EhdMn
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ723edobymi
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgOBBwuAZ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC1d0r36uu
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTiXRJsbyK
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO3G462i4p
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MLipRoYCO
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNvUciUegS
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZhDhVbAW7
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbm1SE8wuL
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDKpLlIISC
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4GbpY7qIL
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSO47veBQ8
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP2Ry8Fw02
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oMCZ4aoTr
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3238x88SAg
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjip0SIAd5T
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71WJiFBQaL
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rFpcDBKVp
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIprrc3L9m
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNrgiK5p6R
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnlFbtcYKu
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEnzE6uk9S
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgOxwdJ8qx
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiagUnRKI4
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqJ2P1s4jd
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZA1kJjCQD
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH3TJ3HJa9
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Enr6yVuZ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6FJBYEDYL
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpgQBhCHkX
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6y2XpHayp
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoDTaFgL2Q
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DX2Nyoljx
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCNgQm2MQB
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHuZVbdtXa
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUYjPQfis
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaYvxhMfAy
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnxq5e8RT6
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgwHcyjyL9
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuxq8n3ZAh
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzBw6T1hb4
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qf0qRhCj9
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZqmzgnYBe
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNraZ1x3CL
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagnp1JRSg8
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPtyjqdOg
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUMiXIZyfE
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyKI3n0YkG
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHk3ivhdP6
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF04xzDRfy
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3SvTf6VXH
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0maUImMF2
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDD8cu9aDQ
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEPAYLje2S
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzIhb0Whb7
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFWXg8GGs7
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h68niFE7P
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIOCA6tW62
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D3ljqw9Js
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdfncgEfcY
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUlagjLSQ1
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rQvUIXFnx
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZaBvlPnhu
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCJHcoLB7f
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmcRtjytFP
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8L24oP06
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD0sP3KhMi
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWyTZZ8UBZ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Lz68QzCr
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBthM6BYQqQ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2qhZFtXzH
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdqheTXwIt
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzyDU11gd2
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXGa4zEqxX
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGwPo8SWt4
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KxtL4yfoy
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9g7kfZKkt
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfUx6sgEn5
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM4iJS5YaU
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmarTLxwU87
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDf1d1q9Ep
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EBqGdy84I
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil9uWQzmi2
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRx84U307a
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62MoQ3221z
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ9EzpfRCJ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjghADksQ6C
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxJoP7zbn
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwvaA86mOP
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUuth89C00
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkULKEmretd
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3GkXZ4Wk9
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvHlzVf0wb
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbNxuoHlgP
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxh9nNIln
"How?" Hanna asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPyrmsQ4SE
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNcKyv2Xfx
Kayla gestured to her body.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirjyPP8kO3
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdf1xCXRWE
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnhh5Npag
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAebJNxS9
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLEvrjVNzz
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE5hXTVF6e
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzOaRigmy7
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubLm3JEnU7
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTrTvK5AV4
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ4JZyt5jU
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCKTccQA19
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaEhTS7HNE
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4P1YOp9H0
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj13HaZmCFj
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit86BUi671
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD3tf99Ejt
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPmhncWw6j
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEIN65mE0A
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPfbyXhVr6
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuGYGuCnGJ
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4jhuIxr3P
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zelXCG2Ie
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmIL7P8P82
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce4DvtQgxC
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9jkJrQoWk
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwsf6jkV8v
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZJBOJqlg4
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoZ1gJ0TEO
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPoOpSODCS
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIPsUjd8sb
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqAtAh0ddo
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG47BiCCy4w
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsye1BLVnVJ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCArkyF2bD
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOQ8gSWqkZ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkTgTlQ8NB
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzGqtoLiY
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW0p9aHLxq
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR0mcIwO65
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvoQCeG8pd
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKISBG8Iwp
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNEYEyxSmi
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pazJE6UIL
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2mw5qJfuv
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U1FrP3G5W
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa4zUchM1c
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo8a1z6Ei0
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs0unpCOU2
"What happened?" Kayla asked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOen75bYH4t
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUziwcpPySB
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtP9dVei7k
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIQMUg8OVC
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRomn8xrfdY
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q5p7xKcfS
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQHrDQGao6
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD7669nRfk
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozdQT4SK8W
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjhVWooI7W
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVVvg9bb14
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ci7Q0m8J
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pka5NBKhv
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHdwvxD82d
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcGSYnFqJs
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpsrn3FNkK
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1O8OIia0K
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UNlHtLRox
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxz1SHxTb
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzoO9tSSU
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbYsHvDnhU
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShoRtDuiA3
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf8EBPVnsQ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5mzKp69tC
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UMPXmiOB1
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YsZK2gaYa
"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2sjD51uJ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JI584NJru
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYfx5Vd6n
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qwUU5gYDi
"It's done," Hanna announced.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXPPOSjTc
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLW74uVYwO
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrp1BvUSLI
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuUr7CNkjp
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRLMIvD175
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ70Sv91ddZ
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rkKgBFiGj

"That's it?"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKCvzSQW2f
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3xVsZ9poj
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGoHJOohvo
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWZx40dNEQ
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmknMqPApV
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUFTCTatep
"Tremors, sweating-"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AztDPoqsk
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv1AXnF8TI
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4lDaUoe1f
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eZ4t5q2nb
Laughter came through the speaker.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sW1SYaMZc
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz26VlLqdu
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0LfvsKxnO
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGZvt3Mqmv
"How big?"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwnyvmneTM
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJwTVrqJg
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4lMCmQ5j
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsImA8UqEX
"So yeah, that's it."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ935JNUtbZ
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PJoXnmMYr
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjmeeBgXts
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPSDLJlpYB
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28ZR6gkwW
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjMsbfEVVz
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5H3mbH1P
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR3qnyQWOm
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa1RgpOOwc
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RE1o2rncC
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UU8ASNJyz
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLroNbFV7z
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18HbUFzs3S
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBSPRABSWo
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrWhb9ajWm
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWfNdGLdBX
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhbrpKcGSX

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."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDbKZgqha3

"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYycyiTL09F

"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Y2pFyUtw

"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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnmXJjieQ0

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."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJCxCLOA2i
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."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR3a0nry4X

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."130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3l5VGANUO

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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunrwWxROrQ

"You too. Call me when you've got your next one?" Hanna asked hopefully.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEmcc60ySg

"Will do!" Kayla called from the doorway.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfOUOwkHch

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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OmAIXvl4h
