Tails maneuvered the Spectre over a building in the ring. He had scouted the building a few days earlier, having found it to be a club. He had seen Nack go in, accompanied by Bean and Bark. He knew better than to assume they were the only people who would shoot back, though.

He turned to the co-pilot seat and shook Fiona awake. "Hey, get up. We're there."

She looked up at him and mumbled something incomprehensible before standing and heading to the back of the ship. "Alright, who are we taking down."

"Nack. He visits this place regularly. He's probably got a few people with him though, so be careful."

Fiona holstered her pistol, leaving the rifle. "You know me."

"That's what I'm talking about." They stepped down the ramp and onto the roof together, then Fiona turned to Tails.

"Why are we on the roof? How the hell are we supposed to get down from here?"

He shrugged. "I was thinking we'd just jump. It's not that far, and there's a truck around back that could cut the distance in half." She didn't look reassured. He sighed. "Look, if it makes you feel any better, I'll catch you."

She smiled playfully. "How sweet of you. Just... just friggin' fly me down there."

He shrugged again and moved behind her, scooping her up in his arms. "...Please try not to add any unnecessary sexual innuendo to this."

"Yeah, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind." He jumped off the roof, landing on the ground behind the club. Fiona brushed her hair out of her eyes and shuddered. "You said you were gonna fly me down!"

"No I didn't."

She stuttered. "F... wha... damnit, Tails! Don't ever do that again!" She fought her way out of his arms and stood, storming off to the back door to the club. It wasn't locked, so she walked right in, followed by Tails.

Fiona stopped and turned when Tails put his hand on her shoulder. He gave her an apologetic look. "Sorry about that."

"Eh, whatever. I know you were just trying to get me to cling to you."

"I told you not to do that."

"No, you didn't."

"Yes, I did."

"...Damnit."

"We should split up and search separately."

Fiona nodded and walked off, intending to find Nack and shoot him before Tails had a chance. She spotted him sitting at a table, actively ignoring the dancer that was obviously interested in him. Also at the table were Bean and Bark, but that didn't surprise her. Bark was simply on the lookout for any trouble, but Bean was distracted by the dancers' shiny costumes. What surprised Fiona was Nic. She sat across from her brother, ignoring the dancers almost as much as him. Fiona almost laughed when she realized how much of a homosexual Nic looked at the moment, actually glancing at the dancers and grinning like someone who was actually interested.

Fiona ducked into a washroom, deciding to disguise herself. She watered down her hair, smoothing it back. Checking herself in the mirror, she kept adjusting it until it looked greased like the dancers'. When it looked similar enough, she left the washroom and went behind the dance stage. If she procured one of the shiny costumes, she could go right up to them. Bean would be distracted; Bark and Nack would ignore her just like the others. Nic was the only thing that worried her, but she was relying on her reputation to keep her from being recognized.

Tails thought he saw Nack. He was heading to confront the Weasel when the music changed. He glanced up at the stage briefly. What he saw made him freeze in shock. It was Fiona. She was on the stage, dancing. He found himself watching her intently. Her hair was smoothed back and her eyelashes had been made more prominent and visible. She was wearing a barely-there silver bikini-style top and a gold, sparkling miniskirt. Two men beside him caught his attention with their conversation.

"Hot damn! Whose the new bitch?"

"I dunno. Never seen her before."

The first man called out to her. "Take it off, baby! Woohoo!"

Tails turned back in time to see Fiona's top drop to the ground. He couldn't keep himself from watching her continue dancing, her bare breasts heaving. He couldn't help the words that came from his mouth. "Holy shit." It suddenly occurred to him how much trouble he could get in if someone asked his age. The club was probably 16+. He was only fourteen. He didn't doubt that Fiona had noticed him watching her. He would probably pay for that later.

Even though he had predicted it, he was surprised when a strong hand grabbed his shoulder. "You don't look old enough to be in here."

Tails didn't even respond. He just reacted. Fiona had to dodge out of the way as the bouncer crashed down on the stage. The music stopped and all eyes turned on Tails. He shrugged. "I hate being told I'm too young." He saw Nack and Nic slip out the back, and Bark blocking anyone from following. Then he felt a gun poke his neck.
