Chapter Twenty

"Driving A Wedge Between"

By

Furry Sith Lord

Merrik sat in his office as Gele entered after being summoned. She kept her demeanor calm and dignified and had a notebook ready for whatever tasks her boss had for her to do. She had tucked a folder under one of her arms that she had retrieved before she entered the office.

"Did IT find out anything?" Merrik asked as she placed the folder in front of him and opened it preparing her presentation of the data it contained.

"Yes, sir. The team finally managed to get their passwords and gained full access to the B.O.T.S. site. We were able to learn that there are 31 prominent members of the organization that keeps it running.

The leader is called The Gold Dragon and other than that name we have no idea who the identity is. The site then mentions he has 12 Alphas that each help lead the organization. Each seems to have an area of expertise but not all their skills and abilities are listed on the site." She said as she presented the files and a few pictures from the folder.

"Any way to track those 12 Alphas?"

"Only one that we know of... possibly two but the second is very illusive." She said

"Who are they?"

"The most notable and probably the hardest to track is Media personality Alex Johns." She turned to the page that had a picture of a tree frog. Merrik recognized him instantly.

"The frog they make fun of on FurTube that has the cliup of him yelling about the goverment turning frogs gay?!" Merrik asked incredulously.

"The same. There were orders on there that he is to stir up the youth in order to get them to rebel against the system in order to help B.O.T.S. overthrow it. The ideas presented were they get their species inside the school trying to convince the youth to try and get a socialist system in place. Once species are totally dependent on the government alone, they send their armies in to cripple the government and establish a dictatorship with B.O.T.S. as the leaders, and The Gold Dragon becomes the world dictator. If species are completely dependent on the government solely they won't be able to resist a complete takeover. If they refuse to give in then they'll starve!" She replied.

"Bah, I don't see that ever happening." Merrik said, dismissing what was presented to him.

"The second, and more likely one, is Lou Cervus-D, your partner's husband." Gele announced and revealed a picture that was a headshot photograph of Lou. Merrik began to cough loudly and cleared his throat as he realized the implications of what Gele had uncovered.

"Seems I have to pay my friend a visit." Merrik finally remarked.

"Are you sure that's wise? Knowing that he works for the enemy?"

"If true then it would explain a lot... like how they got access to our system. This most recent attack may be the original virus he managed to slip in when we had his husband. It could have somehow been lying dormant waiting to activate." Merrik pondered as he spoke to himself out loud.

"But sir, if you confront him then you give away the game." Gele cautioned.

"I don't think so, I mean yes he will know we're on to him but since The White Citadel has his children and his husband, he'll help us to help himself. We can rely that he'll help us beat The White Citadel and rescue his family. Once we do that he'll probably go back into hiding but not before we... leave him a parting gift." Merrik countered.

"Such as?"

"We'll give all our agents an inoculation, but the one we give him will have tracking devices in it. He'll become a walking tracer and we'll know his location 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Then all we have to do is wait as he leads us to The Brotherhood." Merrik chuckled gleefully and Gele gave him a skeptical look but remained silent.

Sanic stood on a small hill next to Bear's office and looked towards the base where the jail is located. As angry as he was he couldn't help but think about the wolf pretending to be a fox as he sat chained in there.

He had been curious what Bear would do with him but lately the ACs in the office kept breaking and Bear was becoming increasingly ill by the warm weather. There weren't any species skilled enough to build new ACs so Bear was pulling his money and asking for volunteers to buy him new ACs.

The WC created its own form of currency so that the government and society would not interfere in their community. The drawback was that their currency, which was flourishing among themselves, would amount to $0 outside. This meant Bear needed to find a way to get funds.

Over the years he collected personal belongings that belonged to the species that had joined and they were never returned because they represented the old life of those species. In order to be asked to join they had to give up their old lives to embrace the new. Sanic had been taking the collections that Bear had kept and was pawning them to earn money from the outside world. So far the 'junk' pawned had not amounted to much.

Sanic had regretted that he found some of his own stuff and pawned it only to see the paltry sum it produced. It bothered him that the old things that he had onced loved were viewed as being worthless now.

He shifted the backpack he wore as it was tiring him from the stuff he filled it with. Since he got rid of the red panda toy it seemed heavier than usual. He metaphorically had to rip out his heart and stuff it in the pack to keep his emotions from reminding him of the betrayal Leggo had done to him.

It hurt that he had been alone for so long and =finally found what he thought could be a friend only to have that fur betray him. He had to keep telling himself it was all a trick but his heart didn't want it to be true. Sacrifices sometimes had to be made for the greater good! He truly believes in the work to make all species equal and he would do his part even if it hurt as much as it did.

"Hey, HEY YOU." Tyger shouted at him and Sanic snapped out of his daydreaming and looked curiously at why the cub was shouting at him. "Are you Sanic the hedgehog?"

"Yes,"

"Bear asked me to find you and tell you that he wants to see you." Tyger continued.

"Why are you shouting at me?"

"Because everyone in the tail awful place ignores me." Tyger said his voice full of the frustration he felt. BH approached from behind Sanic and stood next to him and crossed his arms across his chest. Lately he had become Sanic's unofficial bodyguard to make up for how he treated him when he was ordered to by Papa Bear.

"See I could piss on his leg and mark him as my bitch and he'd completely ignore me." Tyger argued.

"Excuse me?" BH said and Tyger looked at him in surprise. BH gripped Tyger by one of his ears and the cub tilted his head so that the ear being held was sticking up and he remained helpless as if he was scruffed. Tyger cried out from the pain he felt by BH holding him.

"Who's the bitch?!" BH asked him then as soon as he released Tyger's ear the cub ran behind him and pulled the white wolf's underwear giving him a wedgie. BH yipped and turned around to dislodge the underwear from his crack when the cub pulled the front of his underwear up giving him a melvin.

"That would be you." Tyger replied as Sanic laughed hysterically. It had been a while since he last laughed like this and it felt really good.

"You son of a bitch!" BH grumbled as he undid his pants and adjusted his boxers before he re-fastened them.

"Now, now, he's just a cub." Sanic replied as he tried to stop laughing.

"I swear to my paws I'm gonna buy you a pair of briefs and strip you to your fur then make you wear them. Once you do that I'll give you an atomic wedgie!" BH threatened.

"You gotta catch me first!" Tyger said as he ran off.

"Wait, just you wait." BH shouted after him.

"He's a cub! Plus he was just complaining that everyone keeps ignoring him. He's just acting out. Cut him a break." Sanic replied.

"Oh I'll cut him a break alright. I'll break the underwear I buy him when I give him that atomic wedgie." BH complained.

"How do you know he doesn't wear briefs?" Sanic asked.

"I dunno but he's a cub and cubs seem to be drawn to boxers now for some reason. I remember when I was a cub we only wore briefs and the only cubs that wore boxers were the fat kids because the story weas they were too fat to wear normal underwear like everyone else." BH replied and Sanic gave him a look of disbelief.

"Really?!"

"Yeah, then when I was in college the big trend of everyone wearing boxers started and I was like what the tail?!" BH explained.

"But you wear boxers yourself." Sanic countered.

"Well yeah they're comfortable but sometimes I hate that they lack the support briefs give but they do give you some breathing room, if you know what I mean." BH replied.

"Yes I know what you mean." Sanic replied as he sighed because he was getting sick of hearing about the underwear BH wore.

Sanic entered the office and found Papa Bear on his couch with a wet cloth on his head covering his eyes. The office felt cool but not as cold as it usually was and it was not enough to make the polar bear feel better.

"You asked to see me Papa Bear?" Sanic said feeling a little guilty about disturbing him.

"Yes my son, how's the pawning? Have we raised enough money yet?"

"I'm sorry to report no. The items are not considered valuable and we were offered very little. I barely have enough for 1 AC. I mean most of the stuff we pawned were old stuffies and clothes that weren't returned, not much value in that." Sanic responded.

"I was afraid of that,"

"I'm embarrassed to say so but the wolf we're holding as prisoner had his paw tied to a wealthy deer. We could try and trade the wolf for the money we need." Sanic suggested but still felt a pang of guilt over the thought.

"As you should be! We are not terrorists, nor cubnappers!" Bear replied as he sat up slightly and the cloth fell from his eyes. The angry scowl he had made Sanic feel even more embarrassed.

"I meant no,"

"I know what you meant!" Bear interrupted by shouting and the hedgehog shuttered. Bear let his head fall back onto the couch and he squinted as if he had a migraine and couldn't see properly. Sanic was petrified to do anything and worried that the wrath of Bear would be upon him. Normally he wasn't like this but his health was pushing him to his limits.

"Any luck dealing with the current candidate?" Sanic asked, trying to change the subject hoping that Bear would calm down.

"I'd no time to spend with him, he spends all day running errands that Tessa is too old to do for me."

"I see," Sanic replied.

"If it wasn't so fucking hot then I'd have things settled and he'd have joined us right now." Sanic flinched again because he had never heard Bear swear before.

I ran as fast as I could trying to escape BH, the white wolf. While I had been seeing to Bear's errands, he had found a cub's clothing store and gotten ahold of an old pair of Power Fur Ranger's briefs. He was now after me to get me to wear them, so I could get an atomic wedgie once he got hold of me. Not that I really minded the underwear because I liked wearing briefs when I could get away with it and Lyon and I still liked Power Fur Rangers even though the cubs at school would say it was a baby's show. Truth was a number of species at school still liked Power Fur Rangers but kept that secret hidden to themselves.

I ran because I feared the wedgie he wanted to give me to get revenge for earlier. Even though I was Bear's slave I guess I was still fair game if I acted up and got caught. Not that I really minded it because I did it because the jerk deserved it in the first place. I thought about it and realized that I should have been smarter about how I went about it. He was kinda justified in wanting revenge but again he'd have to catch me first!

I will give it to him that it was at least nice he bought me a pair so he could ruin it. On the other paw, since I didn't have any underwear, being a slave, it made sense he had to buy a pair. When he went to the cub's store there was a loose pair that he grabbed and bought without really looking at it. Someone shopping previously opened a pack to look at them, for some reason, then left the pack and probably bought one that wasn't opened.

Turns out there were other cubs living here but me both being a slave and a new initiative was not allowed to talk to any of them. Which was fine because a couple I saw were younger than me and it'd feel more like babysitting if I tried to play with them. On the other paw, if we were gaming online I'd own them regardless of age. It wouldn't surprise me if they were actually some of my gaming buddies.

I ran back and slipped inside Bear's office thinking he wouldn't follow me in but I was wrong and as I stood next to the couch Bear was resting on BH came in and scruffed me.

"Gotcha!" he exclaimed and Bear took the cloth from his eyes to look at him. Bear cleared his throat and got both of our attention.

"The meaning of this disruption?" he asked and we both swallowed hard.

"Well sir, long story short... This... boy gave me a wedgie followed by a melvin. So I bought him this to get my revenge." BH said as he showed the underwear to Bear. Bear squinted his eyes and looked at what BH was holding. Bear held out his paw and BH hesitated then handed the briefs to him.

"Go put these on and return here." Bear ordered.

"What?!" I exclaimed as I reached out and took them.

"You owe him," Bear replied, then covered his eyes with his paw. I was originally going to give Bear a day or two before breaking his ACs again but he just changed my mind for me.

I returned wearing the briefs holding the loincloth in my paw for when he destroyed the underpants. He scruffed my neck again.

"Baby," I muttered to him but he seemed unaffected. He marched me out but when we reached the door Bear called out to us.

"You get your revenge then you both shake paws and it's over, got it?" Bear instructed. We walked outside to the spot he led me to and I turned so he could grip the waistband. He sat on the ground then grabbed me and bent me over his lap as I began to protest. I cried out with each spank he administered and it really didn't hurt but the shock of being spanked and the embarrassment was what I truly felt.

He stood me up and I wiped tears from my eyes but couldn't remember crying. I saw him hold out his paw waiting for me to take it. I looked at him skeptically as he waited patiently.

"I thought you were giving me a wedgie or a melvin?" I asked and he chuckled.

"I wouldn't do that, I have more class than to do something like that." he remarked and it felt like a slap in the face as he said it. "You embarrassed yourself enough getting spanked in your little boy underwear. Here," he continued and shook his paw in front of my face so that I'd see he was holding it out towards me. I forced a smile as I shook his paw then when he broke it off, he rose and walked away. I put the loincloth on over the briefs and went back inside to my closet prison to think of another way to get revenge against Bear for this humiliation.

"It's not like you to ask to be invited for tea. Is there another reason why you wanted to see me?" Lou asked as he calmly sipped from his cup as he sat at a patio table outside. Merrik sat across from him and reached out to pour himself a cup.

"Look at what I found." Merrik handed the folder to him and when he opened it he saw his picture with the evidence behind it linking him to The Brotherhood. Lou read it expressionless as Merrik watched him looking for some kind of reaction.

"Is this a joke?" Lou finally asked, then focused his gaze on him.

"You tell me, why are you listed as their tech expert?" Merrik asked.

"Who are their other so-called members?" Lou asked.

"That's classified."

"Bullshit," Lou replied as he sternly looked at Merrik.

"So you deny it?" Merrik asked.

"Of course I deny it," Lou lied knowing that he had p;laced himself as a member when he created the website. He was waiting for this confrontation because the C.I.Z.A. firewalls wouldn't allow them access to the members lists. To access these the firewalls must be dropped allowing the mega hydra to further be downloaded into their system. They left themselves wide open as he used himself as bait.

"You realize I cannot allow you to enter our facilities any longer. You pose too great a risk now."

"Which I can appreciate... However, do you think I never kept evidence of you forcing my husband to work as an undercover agent when he was never qualified to be one?" Lou asked smuggly.

"What evidence do you have? We have no record of your husband ever working with us! He asked to join and we sent him through training but he never passed. What makes you think he worked for us? Especially when there is evidence that you are a hostile agent for a foreign organization?!" Merrik snugly replied.

"What foreign organization is that? The Brotherhood of The Snake? Do you really think anyone will take you seriously spouting such conspiracy theory nonsense?! Please, save yourself the embarrassment." Lou took out his phone and played a clip he had created and saved on it.

"I don't trust the government because they're turniung the fucking frogs gay!" The clip had the audio from the famous clip of Alex Johns saying that but Lou had managed to replace the talking frog with Merrik's looks. It literally looked as if Merrik was the one saying the lines with the audio dubbed over.

"What the fuck?!" Merrik replied as he finished watching the 2 minute clip.

"Cute isn't it; it really looks like you but it doesn't sound much like you.... Huh, let's try this one." Lou brought up another clip.

"I don't trust the government because they're turniung the fucking frogs gay!" This time the audio sounded exactly like Merrik's voiced.

"No one will believe that crap!" Merrik countered.

"Well, the conspiracy theorists might and it puts your character in question. Not a good situation for you to be in." Lou said as he put his phone away.

"If you think you can blackmail me with that you're mistaken pal." Merrik replied. The maid brought out two large plates of honeydew and cantaloupe melon slices.

"Thank you," Lou replied and she then ventured off leaving them to continue their discussion. "Would you like some melon, Merrik?" Lou asked and Merrik made a face.

"I'd prefer deer meat but judging by how you look I'd bet you are tasteless, dry and old. More of a tasteless beef jerky than a venison sandwich." Merrik grumbled and Lou began laughing at him.

"If you want my meat, all you need to do is ask." Lou replied as he uncrossed his legs and pointed to his groin. Merrik scowled even more now but was still not willing to admit defeat.

"Whatever, just realize that this is official. If you try to gain access to any of our bases you will be arrested on the spot."

"Here," Lou took Leggo's C.I.Z.A. badge out of his pocket and tossed it to Merrik. "When I knew your plan would fail, before he left I slept with my husband. He didn't know it but I had a tracer on the tip of my penis so when I made love I placed it inside of him. When they brought him to their citadel I learned their location. Since we are officially severing ties I'll mount a rescue without your help.

I feared they may force him to tell them about the tracers he had, so I kept it secret so that he had no idea about it. Now that I know where they are, I can mount a rescue while you chase your tail trying to find them. I think you can find your way out." Lou lied slightly because he never bothered with the microchip. He had tricked Bear into giving him their location by hacking into his computer. He knew where their base was but that was about it. He told all this to Merrik to rub it in his nose. When he became desperate enough he'd be back begging for the location.

Lou was eventually going to tell him exactly where they were but only once he was fully ready.

"I dunno what your plan is but you betta stop! The last thing we both want is for 'your' husband and 'your' sons to come to harm. If you keep playing this dangerous game you might find out the real cost you have to play. It's pay to play time and the question is are you ready to ante up with your husband and sons on the line?" Merrik retorted as he rose and ate one of the melon slices.

"Well, I've done more to destroy The White citadel than your entire team combined. It seems too costly to be associated with you when you've done nothing but fail." Two of Lou's security guard slaves approached and Merrik did a double take as he recognized one of them being the leader of the team the doberman had sent in to capture them a while back. Lou managed to capture the entire team and make them into slaves. He kept the leader but had sold the rest. Try as he might C.I.Z.A. was unable to get them back!

"Please show our guest to his vehicle." Lou ordered them and they gestured for Merrik to follow. He politely nodded as they led the way.

I entered the office and was about to walk into my closet prison when I saw Bear leaning weakly against a wall. He appeared to be waiting for me to return and gave me a stern look.

"Have you learned your lesson?" He asked.

"Yes sir," I replied and he patted my head as he went back to laying down. "Next time I won't get caught." I said silently to myself then I chuckled thinking of the fun I'd have.

To Be Continued...
