This club was always busy at night but Winx had never seen these two. And she would know, since she practically lived there. She moved to a closer bar stool to get within earshot and ordered a Devorilan Tea so she wouldn’t seem outof place. The man next to her had his back to her but she could tell he was paranoid and irritated. The government official next to the man was searching through some files. Winx activated the camera in her eye and the recording device implanted in her ear.

Finally, the man next to her demanded, “I did what you asked, Senator. Where’s this precious payment you have for me?”

Winx eyed them both as she took a long drink from her favorite beverage. The man rifling through papers tossed a bag at the other and said without looking up, “Contained solar flare cubes in exchange for your… ah… expert assistance. The Board is very pleased.”

“A couple of sun cubes for blowing up that planet?! You need to do better than that!”

Winx heard everything she needed. She pulled out a pistol.
