"Jack," he says, dispensing with the charade. "And you're plenty exposed yourself, don't you think?"

Komodo chuckles at that, resting one hand on her hip. She lets go of her bunny and takes a step forward. "Well, Jack, I'm afraid I'm not an easy book read."

"I have a few notes here on your novel ideas. Quite the page turners, if you'd ask me. All those people working together to blast the infrastructure. Let me guess, you get off to seeing other people completely lose all control, giving it all to you. Got to say, that makes you sound like a goddess or a lunatic."

"Do either of those bother you?" Komodo asks.

"Oh, of course not. It depends on my mood."

"Well, you'll need to bring something stronger than that to get me to budge. That tongue of yours is not fast enough to trip me up."

"Depends on how I use it, don't you think, Miss?"

Arya watches the exchange between the two, shuddering at the sight of the giant woman looking down on the smaller man. "I can't believe how good he is. He never even met her. I have to do so much research on my marks to even get this far."

Jay shakes his head. "This is a huge gamble. He isn't really getting anywhere with her right now. It's up to us to get what we came for. Come on."

The two sink into the crowd, weaving past the ones absorbed by the conversation and stepping over those too drunk to notice the verbal conflict.

Jack notices this egress from the corner of his eye and snaps his finger. "Hey, tall, dark, and handsome. Want to let the bunny go? I think we got exactly what we wanted."

Tobias quirks an eyebrow but shrugs and lets go of the bunny. The boy stumbles forward a bit, walking past Jack and over towards his female counterpart. The two hug, shaking as they glance over towards their boss. Komodo, meanwhile, rolls her neck and says. "Hey, thanks for the gift. Now, I guess I got nothing to give back to you."

"Oh, you got one thing, babe. Just a teeny tiny little thing. Not much bigger than a mouse."

Komodo rolls her eyes. "I keep telling your friend that I'm not-" she motions towards where Arya was, but stops. "W... where'd she go!? Guar-"

Jack runs up and grabs Komodo's arm. "Now, now, it's the Pleasure Society. Let's not-"

The bull grabs Jack by the shoulder and yanks him away. "No touching without permission!"

Tobias rushes behind the minotaur, grappling him from behind. "No touching the goods, bud, unless you want to throw down!"

Komodo smirks at this. "There will be no need for an altercation. Though, you are quite forward, indeed, Jack. What is it you want, exactly? Not what it is your employer wants, as I'm sure you're not doing this out of the kindness of your heart."

"Oh, you caught me. My heart is a bank, and I want to make a deposit."

"I'm afraid here, we deal with matters of other organs," Komodo says. "But I could see what I can do for you. How about a trade? I'll let your friends go talk to my Mouse, and you stay here and indulge yourself for a while. It's the least you could do for interrupting the festivities to do business."

"Well, miss, I can't say that's a terrible trade. But I got to wonder if you're trying to trick me."

"Trick you? The one who distracted me enough to let his friends slip away? Why would I ever do that?"

He smirks, rubbing at his knee. "Well, I guess sometimes, one has to stumble head-long into a trick against someone as imposing as you."

Komodo looks over towards the rabbits and nods off in the direction Jay and Arya left. They both run off into the crowd themselves. "Well, you'd better be prepared to put your mouth where your mouth is."

"Other things as well, miss. I have a few empty places that could use a bit of a filling too."

She flops onto her cushion, her legs spread, her arms spread over her fawning guests. "Well, then, you'd better get to showing me. And what about you?" she nods to Tobias.

"I don't stick my dick in crazy," the Tiger growls, pulling himself away from the minotaur. "I'll keep an eye on things."

Jack snickers at this and hooks his thumbs at his last article. "Your loss, big guy. More for me."

Jay and Arya make it to the edge of the ballroom, only to find each door they try to be locked. Soon, the rabbits hop out from the crowd, standing in front of another door. The rat and the snake stand side to side, ready for a fight, but the female rabbit pulls out a key from her briefs and unlocks the doorway. "Compliments of the house. Miss Komodo found your friend to be interesting enough to let you all through to do your thing.

"Really," the boy says, "If she's trying something big. There really isn't anything you can do about it. But I trust her."

"We both do," the other rabbit says.

Arya grabs the door and pulls it open. "Come on, Jay. Both of us can handle this, together."

Jay nods. "Right. Hopefully, this data will be enough..."

With that, Arya pushes her way into the back room, all the while, leaving behind the upbeat music and the happiness of the party for the cold room beyond...
