Evil Tiki Babes
It's a slow day at the Cannibal Cult tiki bar. Bartender Ramon Nomar is passing the time with fellow employee Jewelz Blu when manager Joanna Angel walks in, complaining to Jewelz that their last shipment was confiscated by the feds. Evil tiki babe Joanna Angel has gotten the drop on Aaron and Emma Hix, tying them up and demanding to know why they're investigating her and her bar, the Cannibal Cult. But Aaron's confused. He's no cop, he's a blogger who writes about secret bars. Evil tiki babe Joanna Angel is having her way with Aaron when Emma Hix busts in, revealing that she's actually an undercover agent there to take Joanna down. Joanna thought she had dealt with Emma...PERMANENTLY, so this is definitely a nasty surprise.
