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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAQmrlSZX4Ap
24Please respect copyright.PENANASXkX0KeBXM
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAuP77MwE5Eb
24Please respect copyright.PENANAB3KuYUR90I
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAChOcXcac1A
24Please respect copyright.PENANAolaX2SMLES
"Here we are," Kayla announced, tapping her arm lightly. "You can open your eyes now."24Please respect copyright.PENANAmbMp6aQWoM
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAgEYQ50ndp
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAAZM9Gyelsf
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8IPPjFWhIZ
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAgwYpEpYCuK
24Please respect copyright.PENANApYCqEnec5M
"Nice hairdo, you look like you'll fit right in," Hanna commented.24Please respect copyright.PENANArLyAmaEXUh
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2XMKkzmbkQ
"Thanks, a mission always starts right with the right outfit." Kayla winked at her jokingly.24Please respect copyright.PENANARNj2Hbmsu1
24Please respect copyright.PENANACLagGg155h
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAQL7AjinS4M
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5KOh2d8xKr
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9qjuXPP9E
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkbIaZPAo75
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAetMTlf2Rtt
24Please respect copyright.PENANACT2hQntxiI
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAAkMjpsLp42
24Please respect copyright.PENANAitUgEFSmN5
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANA0HukDEBxbZ
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbJjjaEVj5i
"I hope this place is worth the cover," Hanna remarked, looking at the downtrodden exterior.24Please respect copyright.PENANAAJRnFPjADy
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0w2fHEcWaS
"Oh, we'll get our money's worth." Kayla chuckled.24Please respect copyright.PENANApH7kBBgmve
24Please respect copyright.PENANAEUN1NXwzvz
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAkZXmDfJ4L5
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvt0j3eiGmt
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAACbkIQUPV7
24Please respect copyright.PENANAilALThclR9
"I'm twenty five, I shouldn't be getting carded," Hanna complained.24Please respect copyright.PENANAGGarVfquKc
24Please respect copyright.PENANAYgynrfAcOy
"Says the one who started forging her own fake IDs at fifteen," Kayla teased.24Please respect copyright.PENANA6EoSqWN0Np
24Please respect copyright.PENANA48amFna2S6
"It's not like that was to get into bars," Hanna added.24Please respect copyright.PENANAz6hpilrQBX
24Please respect copyright.PENANAM9kNL3xkMn
Kayla gave her a skeptical look. As they walked further inwards, the sound of the music grew louder.24Please respect copyright.PENANADUFgqbG7SG
24Please respect copyright.PENANAi0cZxV0iDy
"Okay, maybe one bar," Hanna admitted.24Please respect copyright.PENANAHf7zVnw0Qc
24Please respect copyright.PENANADw1hd8FpPE
Kayla laughed. "You would have gotten caught too if my mom hadn't caught you first."24Please respect copyright.PENANA6f2IfCK1bD
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8le2LlkzxX
"I've gotten better since then," Hanna argued.24Please respect copyright.PENANAG1L6S5oTVP
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcdvmHyQguw
"I know, I taught you." Kayla smiled back.24Please respect copyright.PENANApC4ElsMKac
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAzAGcqtAQz
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANANWPJmJJJGE
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxMyFDVBuhg
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAIAYN9zlDw8
24Please respect copyright.PENANA4cOBCNwACR
"Where do we look first?" Hanna asked.24Please respect copyright.PENANATop0sVv9zf
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6SWVYxDes7
"The dance floor," Kayla replied energetically, smiling.24Please respect copyright.PENANAeAs3yTWHOb
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6jKUWONiDZ
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANARXIomCewtF
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8zR9yku1Z
Kayla scoffed at her cousin's attitude. "Uh, we have the whole night for that. Have some fun!"24Please respect copyright.PENANABA1IwWIkY6
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhbYmfikbGx
"We're not here for fun," Hanna reminded her seriously.24Please respect copyright.PENANAm0fVuqm3qE
24Please respect copyright.PENANADj4YYKaTT8
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAAZXeH3iae6
24Please respect copyright.PENANAz0XqHOwzbM
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAyQSxpdw9jm
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQDNtZE7Ht6
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANASnOaaMu4yk
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFzffF8lXgE
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANABifNxSdRQK
24Please respect copyright.PENANAznuc6SVKUe
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAUF8on6Bkpi
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzKPZddQYvH
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAo9VyvNrlUe
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqGNJ0JWXFv
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAt1AcZvemlK
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3FMXmKpYcV
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAUa1G4SLwNd
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjo5f8QNHkc
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAoiITEQPost
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmdgPrmv8TO
"What was that for?" Kayla complained with a pout.24Please respect copyright.PENANA6eVtLPAL5E
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8LWXFyCwNi
"I think I found the spot." Hanna gestured over to the guarded entrance. "There's guards."24Please respect copyright.PENANAlFTFjW1wfw
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmtTD8Oxpe8
"Let's take a look." Kayla's tone turned serious instantly.24Please respect copyright.PENANAjkiG1Dp8Kv
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkUZd3aHzoN
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAAdw1FVKlxq
24Please respect copyright.PENANAB4hFoS1SCa
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAeBIetYAL6k
24Please respect copyright.PENANA00TOo4NNNt
"What's the plan?" Hanna asked her older cousin.24Please respect copyright.PENANAbP2DENvmov
24Please respect copyright.PENANAF8zB2lKnyd
"You sneak in and I'll distract them," Kayla answered briefly.24Please respect copyright.PENANAkjutwS6yH8
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXjcoCtSVST
"How?" Hanna asked.24Please respect copyright.PENANAW43U9ll0Ng
24Please respect copyright.PENANA64yyYU9pPc
Kayla gestured to her body.24Please respect copyright.PENANAMA48bIuIOx
24Please respect copyright.PENANAduMjn0ogCf
"The guards are male," Hanna stated.24Please respect copyright.PENANAyB4bVE4VuO
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXZhOLeJFx2
"So?" Kayla replied with a healthy dose of sass.24Please respect copyright.PENANAZLbcx2Kf05
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZvJEN3HCDQ
"You're gay," Hanna reminded her.24Please respect copyright.PENANARF7xs74sqR
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjStqnHrICk
Kayla scoffed. "Seduction is a gender neutral skill."24Please respect copyright.PENANARFeA6Eu9LD
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWpcd7L4CFw
Hanna rolled her eyes at her cousin. "You couldn't get a guy to fall for you if your life depended on it."24Please respect copyright.PENANA9BJtSUrZNh
24Please respect copyright.PENANAO6q2TyBNqq
"Wanna bet?" Kayla smirked as she started walking over to towards the two men, waving and swaying with pretend drunkenness.24Please respect copyright.PENANAdALtiNtZhf
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOPIGHD1Ntp
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANADaL9PTg3Y8
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJx21Dq3vWC
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAU7g085D2Zb
24Please respect copyright.PENANA66f5DpBN4L
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAiXD7Ft4fhy
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkC6gxrMKfm
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANA0XAOmUpPjS
24Please respect copyright.PENANAo5YWQYCFdz
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAvqDpyQPotR
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtc5YSoS4Bz
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANA5QZJeVSHcc
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxzSTVTYAsl
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANADq8Xt5zRNe
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAgjzksRDZA
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAXcHrx76jbN
24Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Q0k5SULx
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAUov47ABS31
24Please respect copyright.PENANAuyEXazqqPD
He stopped for a moment, evidently startled, but then his eyes narrowed. "You're not supposed to be in here," he said, slightly confused.24Please respect copyright.PENANAgaIphLfF74
24Please respect copyright.PENANAU722BHT2vF
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANA4se7GpAgpV
24Please respect copyright.PENANApDzFrGpT3o
"This door was locked," he stated, even more suspicious now.24Please respect copyright.PENANApR7VdmcplN
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoFLDnkcuT0
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAGLuQd2YAZO
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFa5XpGxYrR
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANARG4f4izkEV
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbpCyo9FKuT
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAIlLKi5hnnY
24Please respect copyright.PENANALcz9Cd9aJU
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAjcN3MkhQAp
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9jvmhSz51I
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAmfeXLvXy8N
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxDSppLXVux
"What happened?" Kayla asked.24Please respect copyright.PENANASTCIEtgfV7
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXHu5LHphuS
Hanna shrugged dismissively. "I got the bug in there. Some sort of back room with drugs."24Please respect copyright.PENANAlhp37XuBWM
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcPd37Oiy60
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANA4D5isRxN83
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKwT1Kq3FC8
"Good thing I didn't actually wager anything then," Hanna shot back.24Please respect copyright.PENANAc2xNyIOGuO
24Please respect copyright.PENANADFileJdpJQ
"Sore loser." Kayla stuck out her tongue before slipping on her helmet and hopped on the bike. "Your place?"24Please respect copyright.PENANAVaI0VJKqci
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgnf05uRqyH
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAFatHrrg5KG
24Please respect copyright.PENANAML17ibSnIj
"You only live once." Kayla revved the motor.24Please respect copyright.PENANAkLXViWXiPL
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWfvdbhZBGg
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAsG0ni7DhAC
24Please respect copyright.PENANApdhy0OoUhH
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAr8zFMIhzcq
24Please respect copyright.PENANAy6FAUSeZXz
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAFqYRPKF2Tc
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjgRfVpBDj5
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAadrobv2CCc
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOGvLFXPgLK
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAojsw0xZpmJ
24Please respect copyright.PENANAm17uxP3rwt
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAWbd671ZbCr
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQNvqiPE9FT
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAe3EAjzFsNG
24Please respect copyright.PENANA4e7zBnF1F0
Kayla chuckled, starting to flip through the television channels as Hanna finished setting up the connection.24Please respect copyright.PENANA7gRwvCV080
24Please respect copyright.PENANAsZtX0IOJAP
"It's done," Hanna announced.24Please respect copyright.PENANAOuGvRStSme
24Please respect copyright.PENANA27ILYyGkjZ
Kayla clicked off the television. "Let's see if they're talking about us."24Please respect copyright.PENANAi2NM8nZFDP
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHbDwRrZ478
"Sure," Hanna replied, clicking on the live feed. She did hear some conversation being picked up by the microphone. She turned up the volume.24Please respect copyright.PENANAu8vZ6fcwav
24Please respect copyright.PENANAyJQqSJpfnx
"Deal's on Friday, nothing to do till then."24Please respect copyright.PENANAXLsQqwhCwF
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5EUbIS0qXt
"That's it?"24Please respect copyright.PENANAQSCUwSyZZz
24Please respect copyright.PENANA31PdoWq3UF
"And keep your eyes peeled for any Charax. You all know what to watch for?"24Please respect copyright.PENANA4xs1ZyDE4x
24Please respect copyright.PENANANcZdgKWBPW
Kayla and Hanna shared a quick puzzled look as the conversation kept going.24Please respect copyright.PENANAx0cKdwFvhQ
24Please respect copyright.PENANAY8NWdPdNXC
"Tremors, sweating-"24Please respect copyright.PENANA7bSMsxdPgO
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtsWJn21cQB
"Insane horniness?" Another new voice broke in.24Please respect copyright.PENANAamq9VnY50J
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8PnJicZ8Q
Laughter came through the speaker.24Please respect copyright.PENANA0acrD0gWf9
24Please respect copyright.PENANArW6D43qkgV
"You're laughing now, but you won't be when you see the ID bonus."24Please respect copyright.PENANA4hX2hfotZD
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzHFIdGjnLm
"How big?"24Please respect copyright.PENANA0aXfhoj1oV
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5UwyOx1dmH
"More than enough to settle your debts, Terrence."24Please respect copyright.PENANA3H6c8XndYj
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9DOk5nCtJ
"So yeah, that's it."24Please respect copyright.PENANAi1KakYY94s
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFIYOL0mwR6
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAThHKHSyTLy
24Please respect copyright.PENANAVDjacR6366
"Maybe they came to Earth to party?" Kayla suggested jokingly.24Please respect copyright.PENANAnOFUiSjd3t
24Please respect copyright.PENANAG15Wxh2MYd
"I think the super advanced space humans have discovered nightclubs, Kayla," Hanna said sarcastically.24Please respect copyright.PENANAPOhtTv8jEt
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5OKRCeaImC
"Maybe they're looking for a hookup?" Kayla shot out another guess.24Please respect copyright.PENANAbkJhTsLMck
24Please respect copyright.PENANAuFv6HLfie4
"So... acting like completely normal humans in a club. Doesn't seem like the best way to smoke them out," Hanna remarked.24Please respect copyright.PENANAT6N0DuAByU
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlmJhUK2zkB
"You know the males get all..." Kayla made an incomprehensible gesture.24Please respect copyright.PENANAzV9GIB1kFR
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHDk1HhBH94
"Huh?" Hanna gave her a confused look and waved her hand randomly to mock her cousin's actions. "What's that supposed to mean?"24Please respect copyright.PENANApsZOWwbrAN
24Please respect copyright.PENANA7fINVP6Bnw
Kayla huffed. "Horny, that was obviously horny. You know, when Charax men go into their heat cycle."24Please respect copyright.PENANAgeT08CoxU1
24Please respect copyright.PENANAfelxPmdrNL
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANAh5mfV3Betq
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaPTvI7STjI
"Well, maybe they get a little too desperate and a bit too stupid," Kayla suggested. "Still, Charax are really rare and hard to find."24Please respect copyright.PENANAdhjxJWjDwu
24Please respect copyright.PENANAc88Z4sogXY
"Yeah, so rare that the official stance is there that aren't any left hiding in the general population," Hanna argued.24Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZBHlXGhLd
24Please respect copyright.PENANA49K4ngrFti
"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.24Please respect copyright.PENANApeu4PnlEJx
24Please respect copyright.PENANAeHWUTdHPxM
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANA3CKO1jONde
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANAJQYYhsef6e
24Please respect copyright.PENANAiXOB5qUgRz
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."24Please respect copyright.PENANAKFxM61rKew
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1OIwH38L9Z
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.24Please respect copyright.PENANAzMwPJGMkvN
24Please respect copyright.PENANA587dkaKMZc
