Getting down to business

"Right.", coughed Jim. "Let's get started."

"One moment.", Valerie interrupted. "Eva. Drop your hands."

Eva's eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting it. Valerie continued, "You need to blend in, or at least look comfortable in case someone comes in. Follow my lead."

Valerie took Hawk's hand and guided him to a place on the sofa next to Jim. She placed one hand on both of their thighs as she started to give both men a lap dance while continuing to instruct Eva. "Get on the table and dance a little. There might be cameras, and while the music should hide our voices, we must make sure anyone watching doesn't suspect anything out of the ordinary."

Her commanding tone made Eva unfreeze. She obediently walked to the table, lying down on it and beginning to gyrate to the music. Jim turned red and was trying his best to look away, but Valerie's next words were aimed at him. "It doesn't help anyone if you don't look, Jim. This is a strip club, you're supposed to be ogling naked women. Besides," she winked, "I'll be insulted if you don't look."

"She's right." Hawk chuckled. "Take the invitation. You never know if it ever comes up again."

"R-right." Jim continued, his eyes transfixed on Valerie's breasts. "First things first - were you able to secure the chip?"

Valerie said nothing, instead subtly reaching into the top of her stocking and taking out the chip. She deftly placed it in Jim's palm, disguising it by turning around and grinding on his lap. Eva could see Jim gulp as his pants were suddenly a lot tighter than before.

"Great. I'll make sure the boss gets this.", he replied. "With this successful mission, there might be a path back to regaining your field agent privileges for the two of you. You need to report to HQ, they'll take it from here."

Upon hearing this, Valerie and Hawk's faces brightened.

"Can I get some equipment? Neither of us has, uh, anything to change into." asked Valerie, her voice a mix of concern and embarrassment. It was one thing to act natural in a strip club, and another thing altogether to be naked in your workplace.

"Valerie, I, uh, am not authorized to give you any equipment.", replied Jim. "But, maybe there's something. Hold on..." He fished in his pocket, and took out a roll of black tape. "This should, uh, cover the essentials."

"Thanks.", Hawk piped in, taking the roll of tape. "Don't you worry Jim, I'll make sure she is all covered up." Valerie turned red, but showed no resistance to the idea.

While all this transpired, Eva danced on the table. Inside, she was relieved. Once the chip was decrypted, she could share its contents with the mysterious figure. While she hadn't quite done it all by herself, all that mattered was that she had achieved her objective, even if it meant some unintentional embarrassment along the way.

Jim interrupted her thoughts. "I'll leave you two here. Eva - you're coming with me."
