Chapter Twenty One

"Surviving The Storm"

By

Furry Sith Lord

The former lead agent woke slowly and tried to move but was unable. As his mind cleared he realized his limbs were sore from the odd position he was in. He saw a gag in the shape of a bone tying his muzzle closed and limited his speech. He was striped down to his fur locked in a small cage that he was barely fitting into. His arms were tied behind his back and tied to the upper part of the cage. He was kneeling and his ankles were tied to the sides of the cage leaving him prone and helpless.

Several of his comrades around him were tied in similar cages and each of them naked as well. Even the few female agents that were with them were nude. He recognized a couple of the security officers that they had captured when they stormed the mansion were now dressed in their gear and holding their weapons. The agent in the cage next to him had a red collar on and panic filled him as he realized the deer was going to sell them as slaves.

That was it because their lives were over once that happened. It didn't matter that they were federal agents because once they sold all that ended and they were only good for one thing, serving the ones that bought them.

"Good he's awake." The red deer from the video recording said as he pointed at the lead agent. Two of the security guards unlocked his cell and untied him then dragged him out. He stood there slouching slightly trying to be submissive. The deer gently removed his gag and the lead agent wanted to beg for the lives of his team but he could not muster any power to do so.

"Come," The deer ordered and he immediately obeyed and even if he wanted to resist he had no control. He followed the deer as he was led away from the other agents towards a private room.

"Sit." was the next command as he was led towards a chair set up in the center of it. He obeyed and the deer pressed his hoof against the clasp of his collar. "You will only speak the truth to me and you cannot utter any disceptions or lies." He immediately swallowed hard because all the training he had received about enemy interrogations never trained him for this.

"What do you think of my security force?" His master asked and although he knew he was being played with, he wondered why time was being wasted on them. It was not like they were real agents or anything, security's only job was to observe and report. He was annoyed they were wearing the gear his agents brought in with them. It was annoying that they haphazardly wore it as if they had somehow deserved it.

"I think it's a disgrace that they wear it ignoring the fact they never earned it and never went through the hours of training we did." He replied truthfully.

"Really," The master gestured and one of the security officers stepped up to him and the deer pulled the opening of the neck area and revealed that the security officer was wearing a red collar like he was.

"Every member of my security force is a slave, correct?"

"Yes sir!." He replied with army precision.

"When were you captured?" The master asked calmly but his voice held some bitterness.

"A rival corporation wanted you captured to become their slave. You lured us in and we were captured just like the agents were. Everyone of my teammates were sold except me because I was their leader and you made me your personal slave to put my training to some good use." The security officer replied.

The lead agent suddenly realized his mistake because they assumed the deer was an easy target yet he had dealt with this kind of thing before and was ready for anything they attempted.

"How am I as a master?" he asked him.

"You treat us very well. We have a special room in the mansion and we get the best of everything. Although we will never be given our freedom, you have been the best master I've ever had." The security officer said.

"Now here's the part where you come in!" His master told him pointing to him as he remained seated in the chair. "Not that you really have a choice, but if you cooperate fully then when I smell your team I know a very good slaver that will take care of them. I also know a slaver that sells slaves as pleasure slaves and they will probably be raped on a daily basis. I can sell you along with them as pleasure slaves or you will become my slave for the rest of your life. So just to be clear, the fate of yourself and your team rests in how cooperative you are." .

"Understood." he said as feelings of helplessness filled him. It seemed his master was not the type to show anyone mercy if they crossed him.

You currently have two prisoners that I want. Where are they being held?" The master demanded and he looked blankly at him because he honestly had no idea but he was afraid that that response would make him punish his team.

"Certain information, like that, if not widely known in case agents like myself,"

"Slaves." the master interrupted to remind him of his place.

"Are captured."

"How can I find out where prisoners are located?" Lou demanded his brown eyes burned with fire as he seemed to stare through the slave.

"The doberman is the boss but his assistant, a female skunk named Gele has access to all the records. Get a hold of her and you can find what you're looking for." he replied.

"We tracked the doberman to a parking garage. How do we get inside?" The master demanded and his slave was amazed that he knew about that location. The garage had not occurred to him but once the master reminded him of it he had to explain that it is a maximum level detention area where only the worst enemies of C.I.Z.A. are sent to. He told how it is almost impossible to sneak in because of the security checks. Lou paced as he listened to his new slave reveal the secrets of his organization that he once held dear. One of the other security slaves took notes of everything that was said for Lou to review later.

Once the new slave had been pumped dry of information Lou had his stand and delivered his first orders regarding the new addition to his team.

"You've been most helpful, most helpful indeed. Boys, take our new teammate outside to join his former comrades and while he is in direct view of all of them I want you to carefully dress him as one of the team then give him orders to begin his service in our employment." Lou ordered and the new slave looked on in horror at what his new master had said.

"Ple...please master, I will look like a traitor to my men." The new slave begged.

"Exactly, this is the end of your old life and the beginning of your new. They may hate you, but thanks to you they will be sold to a slaver that will treat them better than most slavers usually treat their new merchandise." Lou said and began to walk away as the helpless dog was dragged to fulfill the master's demands.

"Master, there is a slaver fox here to see you." One of the security slaves whispered to Lou after the slave overheard a message on his radio.

"Ah, have him brought to me immediately." Lou ordered and the slave bowed respectfully then scurried off to bring the guest to him. Lou stood there tapping his hoof while he waited but he briefly smiled as an adult male fox entered and he was smiling widely having passed though the main area and he saw the number of slaves that awaited him to buy.

"Well sir, I must say I never expected to see or hear from you again after you bought your two slave cubs from me." The fox replied shrewley. Lou stepped over and shook his paw and put his hoof on his shoulder.

"Funny how things work out sometimes." Lou replied in all seriousness.

"I heard you had slaves for sale and I must say at first I was afraid you were trying to sell those white cubs back to me but looking at the stock waiting out there, I see that Furrymas has come early this year."

"I hope you've saved up your nickels and dimes because I got a big catch for you."

"Yes quite a catch indeed I don't know if I can house them all I may have to sell some to other slavers, at a profit of course." The fox replied.

"Of course. Under one condition, that they are upstanding and kind as you are and will not abuse their goods on the way towards the market." Lou said, giving a side ward glance at the fox.

"Trust me I know the best and they sell the best because of the quality they deliver. Poor quality, means poor sales and no one wants that. Oh by the way, may I see the little ones? I'm just wondering how they are getting on." The fox replied then rubbed his hands greedily as his focus was turned back towards the caged agents awaiting to be sold.

"Are you referring to my son? Tyger and Lyon had our blood transferred into them and they are fully my children now." Lou said firmly and in a surprise move the fox stopped and stood upright fully then turned and grabbed Lou's hoof and shook it tenderly.

"Good, it's what they deserved! The stuff they were subjected to is something that should never happen to cubs. Especially that lion, his guardian was a real piece of work. When I took him, that poor cub was so messed up I had no idea how to help him but I just knew I had to get him away from that monster. Is he safe? Healing?" the fox asked earnestly.

"He's recovering slowly, it took a while but my husband was able to reach him and his brother gave him the strength to not give up. We had tough nights but they changed our lives in so many ways that I can't imagine life without them." Lou replied and was surprised at how honest he was being himself but with the fox showing his true nature and not the guise he played off of allowed Lou to feel comfortable with telling him the truth.

"May I see them?" the fox begged softly.

"I would prefer it if you didn't. I just don't want to bring up old memories." Lou replied.

"I understand...." the fox replied as his voice held a touch of depression.

"Here," Lou took out his cell phone and a couple of seconds later the fox's cell phone beeped. The fox searched the photos sent to him and he smiled as he saw how the cubs had turned out.

"Hey, What's this one?" the fox asked and Lou stepped over to see which one he was looking at. The image had Leggo standing outside being completely nude and he held Lyon in his arms as Lyon was crying loudly. The memory came rushing back and Lou caught himself chuckling.

"Oh my hooves, I forgot about that. Our maid took it and the whole thing was so cute that she sent me the picture. You see, I have a special garden where I grow some of my favorite grass to snack on. So I made it an absolute rule that no one is allowed in there because I don't want my grass trampled.

One night my antlers fell off and Tyger thought I was ill, so he sneaked into my garden to get me some grass to make me feel better. I found out and ran to check my garden yelling and screaming because I tend to be a big Oof about my garden.

I don't know who did it, but one of the servants told Lyon that I sold the last species that entered my garden and made me mad. Lyon threw a bloody fit because he thought I was going to sell his brother. I think my husband was inside... taking a shower," Lou lied as he blushed, not really wanting to tell the whole story of why Leggo was stripped down to his fur.

"So he runs outside and grabs Lyon trying to calm him down. Meanwhile our family maid, who loves the boys soo much she's like an unofficial mother to them, comes to find out why we're all outside yelling and screaming and very sneakily takes a picture of my husband and my son.

I ended up spanking Tyger because he did break the rules and he needed to learn not to, but to be honest I was so touched by his genuine love, because I was still his master at the time, I could barely do it let alone get through it."

"Seems you were blessed to have them. Whatever price you deem for these slaves you are selling I'll add an extra 60% to the cost with the understanding that the extra markup goes to making sure the cubs are well cared for." The fox replied.

"No mark up because I make sure they have the best of everything and I'll charge $1 per slave so you don't become bankrupt. However the order still stands that the slaves are treated fair and sold to good owners."

"The best slavers I know will be the only ones I contact for the buying and I'll pay you $2 per slave and you not only take the markup but keep it safe as a gift from me should they ever need it." the fox refuted, refusing to let Lou get away with going easy on him. It was clear the slaver had fallen in love with his sons but then they had that effect.

Gele arrived home and she was longing to crawl into her tub to soak and relax. She spent the day yesterday measuring consulting agent Will so they could get him the right outfit for his next television broadcast tomorrow when he was to announce his secret militia to hunt the White Fox. Today she had to teach Will his lines and she wondered how had he done it the first time? because no matter how many times they ran through it he was as dense and a door-nail.

"Would you like some more tea, sir?" Her daughter said as she entered the house and figured she was playing tea party with her brothers. She was going to have to rescue the boys who were probably bored to tears right now playing a girl's game but they only had one sister so she had no one else to play with.

"I would love more tea, thank you." A strange male's voice responded and it stopped her dead in her tracks. Who was her daughter playing with?

"Abby, dear, where are you at?" She called out and walked into the living room and nearly screamed at the top of her lungs. Her husband sat on the couch stripped to the waist and he wore a red collar on his neck. He sat rigidly and held something in his hands. He turned and looked at her in fear. Next to him were her three sons and each was stripped to their waists also and they wore red collars too. They all seemed as if unable to speak and they each held something shiny in their hands.

Her daughter sat on the floor with her tea set set up and across from her was an adult red deer. She recognized him instantly. Her daughter had a red collar on but she was more pleased that the deer was playing with her despite being his prisoner.

"Hi mommy," she replied and Lou patted her head as he rose.

"I take it you are the doberman's assistant Gele?" He asked calmly.

"What the hell are you doing in my house!" She screamed out in terror. Lou grabbed the arm of her oldest boy and pulled him to stand in front of the deer. She then noticed that her son held large metal scissors that had very sharp points.

"I want you to tell your mother the rules." Lou ordered and the boy began talking though fear made his voice break at times.

"We are now being held hostage," The boy began and Gele used her hands to cover her mouth. "Our owner regrets that he must sink to this level but the repeated attacks by your job have forced him to do this in order to protect his own family. We are not allowed to talk unless he first gives us permission. If mother or anyone calls the police or back up agents from her job then we are to use these," he showed her the scissors in his paws and held them in front of his stomach as if he were about to stab himself. His mother cried out for him to stop but he was powerless.

"It won't come to that, right miss?" Lou asked her and whispered for the boy to put the weapon away from his body.

"What do you want?!!" She cried out as tears fell. Lou patted the couch and told the boy to sit back down and behave and the boy skunk did as he was told.

"Come with me to your extremely beautiful kitchen." Lou motioned as she obeyed without any resistance. Lou motioned her to sit and he set out two empty cups and started boiling water.

"Do you see how your family is trapped in that room and you are here with no way to help or protect them?" He continued not really waiting for an answer. "That's how I feel right now and I'm feeling the same emotions you are."

"But I have nothing to do about that." she started and a wave of his hoof silenced her.

"Irrelevant. You do have the ability to help me save them from your boss. I need to know where my husband is being kept and the Yellow Labrador you tried to use to cubnap my sons are being held."

"If I did that they would kill my entire family."

"Then I'll put a collar on you and you can explain later you were forced against your will." Lou retorted.

"You don't understand how the C.I.Z.A. works." Gele responded a few seconds later Will entered wearing a red color he went and stood next to her and whispered "help me" to her. She looked at him in horror

"I see you know my inside man. When I captured the team sent to grab my children from me I interrogated them before I had them eliminated. They told me about you and this tiger who was playing a double agent. I had hired him to help me find my husband but it turns out the C.I.Z.A. was using him to pass me false info.

"My boss knows not to trust him." Gele said.

"Then tell me everything your 'boss' knows." Lou demanded.

A few hours earlier, Will met with Lou several streets over from Gele's home.

"Things are gonna get real dangerous, are you ready for it?" Lou asked Will. They were in a special van Lou had prepared in case they had to do what he hoped he would not have to.

"To save my friends I'll do everything." Will said.

"Put this on, it's a white collar I bought and had it painted so that it looks like a red collar. I want to use this to fool them into thinking you're my slave now. This should fool them so they don't think you're betraying them on your own. Plus you can blame the skunk for pointing you out and that's how I realized you were a double agent against me." Lou replied. Will nodded grudgingly.

"Truthfully this isn't some trap, if I put this on I'll still have my free will?"

"I promise you no subterfuge involved. You've been a good ally and I know I can trust you to bring my husband home and his little friend." Lou replied.

"So you're telling me that the C.I.Z.A. sold the Yellow Lab when he failed to cubnap my children?" Lou replied calmly as Gele told everything she could think of. Lou doubted her truthfulness. Though she did appear to want to save her family, she was an agent and he couldn't disregard the special training they had to keep guys like him from knowing the trap they were setting up.

"That's all I can tell you my boss ordered him sold and another agent carried it out. I have no idea which slavers he was sold to or where they are or even if they still have him in their possession. The species I deal with don't play nice and they are not at all forgiving." Gele pleaded.

"I set up a few other rules your son hasn't told you about yet. Think of them as security in case you're thinking of trying anything. First off if I do not appear in front of your family within a week's time they will commit suicide. Since I am the only one that can remove their collars, if I die or when I try to remove their collars I must reveal that I am not wearing a collar or they will prevent me from removing theirs and kill themselves.

If you are so worried about your family's safety because of the C.I.Z.A. Deliver my family to me safely and I'll help you hide from them. New names, new location, even a top job in one of my other branches..... Or you can stay here. I don't really care either way." Lou quoted.

"And what about me?" Will angrily growled as he stared at Lou with hatred in his eyes. He was playing the part perfectly and his lines were right on que. The day before Lou had staged him having difficulty learning his lines in order to keep the C.I.Z.A. thinking he was a simpleton. He had to make it look like he needed an extreme amount of practice to look as good as he did the first time.

"A handsome, ruggard, tiger like yourself can remain my pleasure slave as long as you're obedient. Try and betray me in any way and I'll sell you so fast your tail will spin. Now let me go check on your family while you two hash out a plan to save my husband." Lou replied and left to return to the living room.

"So the yellow dog was sold that tried to help you guys, that's what you people do? Use someone then toss them away." Will said, going slightly off script.

"Pretty much, we have no real use for you unless you're an agent. Guess you're not smart enough to figure that out. I gave you too much credit then because I thought you were smarter." Gele replied.

"Well little skunk I got your scent and if I ever get free from the deer I'll find you, no matter where he hides you. Then you'll watch me rip apart your family in front of your eyes before I finish with you." Will let his words hang in the air before he continued. "Now how do we save the master's... husband?" Will said and he had to force himself to call Lou his master but the struggle made it real that he was slowly being forced into submission by his fake collar. It was always a struggle of some sort in the beginning once a species had been collared and must now adapt as a slave.

The circuitry in the collar allowed for the initial adjustment so the captive was not overly stressed out and had their senses snap leaving them in a permanent vegetative state. Early designs did not allow for this and left many of the slaves as unusable. Lou had made sure to go over a few basics so he could fool her into thinking his collar was real. Even though his anger seemed real he could honestly care less about her because his real target was the doberman.

"Hello, may I speak to Mr. Chordata-D?" Lou said speaking into his cell phone an hour before he was to meet up with Will at the skunk's home.

"Who is this?"

"I'm the husband of your grandson, Leggo." Lou replied carefully hoping to not antagonize him because they had never spoken before. From what Lou remembered he was against Leggo marrying a deer. Especially one that was wealthy because it made his grandson look like a gold digger. Nothing was farther from the truth but he never showed up to their wedding and as Leggo put it, he wants nothing to do with us.

Lou needed a place to keep the cubs safe when he goes in to rescue Leggo and the only other species he could think of was the estranged grandparent. Lou just hoped the old one was curious to meet his grand kids and would put the past behind him.

"Why are you calling me? Has something happened to my grandson?" he asked, his voice was steady but Lou could detect the panic of his words.

"Well, it's kind of a long story,"

"Then please start at the beginning because I want to know everything." the old one interrupted

"I'd love to but may I tell you in person as I drop your grand kids off to spend a few days with you?"

"My what?!"

"It seems we have a lot to talk about." Lou responded and made plans for the cubs to meet their grandfather.
