"Big Mistake"
By
Furry Sith Lord
"Wow, You guys fucked up big time." I remarked as my father glared at the agents holding my brother and my dad hostage. I was not really worried about them but that my fiance was missing. Either he had gotten away or they had not found him yet.
"They appear unharmed." My father said to me as he was removing his tie. He stuffed it in the pocket of his coat and began to roll up his sleeves. I heard my dad groan through his muzzle because we all knew what this meant. My father was no longer gonna play any games with these guys.
"NOW!!!!!" Lou shouted. At hearing my father's command a bunch of our security officers rushed in wearing tactical gear and carrying rifles.
"We know about your little army and have a much larger force outside. If you stand down now we can avoid any unnecessary violence." The agent said as they seemed unafraid of the force pointing their rifles at them.
"Thank you for increasing my numbers." Lou said and an unseen security officer approached the two agents holding Lyon and Leggo and placed slave collars on their necks. The agents seemed undeterred as my father approached them. He placed the thumb of his hoof against the plate on the front of the slave collars.
"You will obey me." Lou said coldly and the former agents lowered their heads submissively.
"Is the perimeter ready?" Lou asked and the security officer responded with "Yes." and he nodded to them.
"You two, slaves," he said as he pressed his thumb against the plates again. "You will answer me truthfully and not use any subterfuge in any way, understand?"
"Yes Master." They replied.
"How many more of your agents are currently on my property?"
"There are two searching for the other white tiger." they replied.
"You sent in just 5 agents? I'm insulted." Lou remarked to the agent.
"As I mentioned, we hoped to avoid an incident. Remove their collars and we can sit and have a talk. If I don't contact our team leader soon he will send in the rest of the agents in force."
"I'm counting on it. Your entire force will soon become my security slaves." Lou said and one of his security officers cleared his throat intentionally. My father blushed slightly and nodded respectfully to the security officer.
A while back BH had said that he killed my father, Lou, and we had not seen him so thought it was true. My dad, Leggo, was getting ready to take charge of our family business and set about trying to fulfill my father's plans they had talked about. One of those plans was to end all slavery.
The security officers that had tried to previously cubnap my father had been captured and turned into security slaves. My dad had set them free and surprisingly most stayed on under our employ because they liked the guy and the way they were treated. New captures were going to be an interesting problem because, obviously, they cannot be trusted right away.
A security officer handed a slave collar to Lou and he placed it on the neck of the agent speaking to him. The agent tried warning him not to do so but Lou could care less as he made the agent his slave.
"Release my son and husband." Lou ordered the agent.
"Only the lead agent has the keys as a failsafe to ensure your cooperation." The agent said.
"Roger, take these new security officers and put them to work after they strip down to their fur. They will ot be allowed to dress until they learn they no longer have any status. Once they are ready have this former agent contact his friends so they can begin their assault. You know how I want it handled! I will be in my secure area to direct everything. Are we clear?" Lounasked.
"Yes sir!" The security officers replied as they led the new members away as they began to undress. Each article of clothing they removed made them grimace as the embarrassment that they no longer had any status set in.
Lou led us to his secure area hidden as a part of emergency underground tunnels under the mansion. As we made our way to the tunnels, Lou hit a hidden button and a loud female voice said "We have company." On every television and monitor in the mansion the letter C-A-H-K were being spelled out and a few seconds after the word was completed it vanished and was spelled out again. This went on in a continuous loop warning everyone in the mansion about the attack.
C-A-H-K was a pun on words the Lou created as a warning about imminent danger. It stood for Caution Attack Heightened Knowledge. The joke of it was that when said out loud it sounded like the work cock was being said.
I patted Lyon on his head as he stood next to me nearly in tears as his paws were cuffed in front of him but the muzzle on his face was what really made him miserable. I heard him whimper and hugged him. Leggo sat calmly waiting on a bench as Lou was looking at the movement of the agents on several security monitors.
Ben entered and I jumped as I saw him and let out a sigh of relief. He was carrying a toolbox that carried his lockpicking tools. Some students at school had taught us how to pick locks. I was OK but Ben had been practicing and he had gotten really good at it.
He opened his kit and then examined the cuffs and muzzle on Lyon. I saw him frown as he examined the lock. It must be something he was not familiar with but he tried different picks until he found one and set Lyon free. He then went to work on releasing Leggo.
"Perimeter Breach Level One," Lou said as he observed black clad agents jumping over the outside walls. Lou was not bothered in the least by this as he watched the automatic mounted guns rise from their hiding places in the lawn and they fired rubber bullets at the agents. They would not hurt the agents but depending on what they were wearing the rubber bullets would hurt like the dickens.
A couple of agents fell and tried to crawl away but they were not able to avoid the guns, farther back against the wall, from targeting them again. The ones that made it through had to face the security officers and they had the same types of equipment that the Furries had.
"How far do you think they'll make it?" I asked my father. He grinned at me.
"As far as I allow them to make it. I could stop them all at the wall but I thought I'd have a little fun. It's no fun if I make it too difficult or too easy." he replied. I turned my attention to Ben as he removed the cuffs from my dad and he hugged Ben and praised him for releasing him.
"What's next?" I asked.
"The obstacle course!"
"Wait! What about the garden!!!" I cried as I suddenly realized that they agents may go blindly traipsing through it damaging the grass and plants.
"As soon as the alarm went off an underground electrified enclosure rose and sealed it off. Relax son, I've thought of everything." He said as he was grinning again.
In a mobile command unit set up inside a large van The Deputy Assistant Director was monitoring his own set of cameras. Each of the agents had body cams that allowed him to see what they saw and experienced.
Gahin, a large panda, sat in a chair watching the monitors in disgust. He could not believe how this rich do nothing was getting the best of the agents he personally trained.
"Cowards," He remarked as he watched the agents trying to crawl away in pain from the rubber bullets. He nearly laughed as he saw the security officers run over to them and place slave collars on their necks.
"Good," He remarked evilly. He thought about the videos he had seen from C.I.Z.A. that showed the wolf husband of this deer. How he had endured the torture they inflicked upon him when they forced him to become one of their members.
Gahin wanted him more than anything because he had a resolve that intrigued Gahin. The wolf, named Leggo, would make a better F.D.I. agent than a C.I.Z.A. agent. Gahin had plans to make him his!
"Team Two is standing by, sir." Another agent remarked but Gahin seemed to ignore him. He had already planned this operation and he knew what he had available. He planned to have three teams ready but the first two teams only knew about two teams. This would hide team three in case the captured agents were forced to reveal the plans Gahin made.
The first two teams were fed false information to trick the deer and his forces. Once the first two teams were captured and the false intel was passed onto the deer, a much larger team three would swoop in and catch them unaware.
The deer was overconfident and Gahin had planned on it to turn it towards his advantage. Team Two was told to standby and wait 10 minutes before they attempted to engage.
"Their first team has been captured sir." The head security officer said as he radioed in to Lou.
"What is it that they said when you interrogated them? I want to hear it a second time." Lou ordered.
"They have two teams and IF the first team fails then 10 minutes after the first team is captured the second will advance."
"Is there a 3rd or 4th team?" Lou asked.
"Not that they know of. Are you thinking of something?"
"Just that sending in two teams makes no sense. Also the numbers of this first team are surprisingly low considering they know I'm a troublemaker." Lou said and Leggo crept up behind him and wrapped his arms around Lou's waist. Leggo began to lightly kiss his neck. Lou made a soft groan of pleasure but had to force himself to stay focussed.
Something about being tied up and bound always turned Leggo on. Of course he was the same way. He made a mental note that once he captured the commander of the agents and acquired the keys, he would add the pawcuffs and muzzles to their 'toy' collection.
I noticed that Lou was staring at the muzzle that had been placed on Lyon. He secretly was trying to judge if it would fit him. I thought he was getting angrier that my brother and dad had been muzzled by these assholes and he was getting ready to make them pay.
I found myself listening to the soft humming Leggo was making as he gently moved Lou's body from side to side. Perhaps to ease him during this time. Lou was struggling to stay focussed while Leggo 'played' with him.
"Stop," Lou said weakly as he tried unsuccessfully to push Leggo off him. It was clear he was not really trying because he was not using his full strength.
"Sir!" The security officer said loudly to snap Lou back and we saw that he was averting his eyes to avoid the display of affection. Leggo gave a light slap to Lou's behind as he walked away still humming to himself.
"When the second team is captured I want everyone to remain on high alert until I order otherwise." Lou said then he turned to address me as well as the security officer. "I believe we are being fed false information by the captured agents."
"But how? The slave collars make them tell the truth because you ordered them to not lie in any way." I asked.
"It's not a lie IF you believe it to be true. I believe their leader has a secret agenda that he has kept hidden. The only mistake he made was in not bringing larger numbers not to mention that they are not wearing any protective gear. Sending in an army of agents in regular suits had me wondering what they were up to." Lou said.
Leggo sat on the bench with his knees spread wide. Lyon went over carrying the muzzle the agent had placed on him.
"See dad," Lyon was saying. "I told you yours was bigger than mine. I guess you have a big head." Leggo smirked at the comment and Lou turned his head and grinned at Leggo.
"Guess you're right son, I do have a big head that is difficult to keep packaged."
Gahin watched a clock on one of his monitors impatiently. He was getting tired of waiting and finally decided that enough time had passed.
"Send in Team Two," He growled. The agent next to him hurried out to deliver the orders to the next team standing by. He had personally prepared them and they were told that they were to get closer to the mansion before they were to get captured. He was looking forward to taking the deer out!
"Security Team prepare for the next wave and follow with Plan 69." Lou ordered. His words were sent into a microphone for all his security officers to hear. He glared at Leggo as he heard him snickering.
"Stop acting like a puppy!" Lou said and Leggo tried to force himself to stay serious.
Gahin watched in horror as the agents of Team Two were climbing the wall and they would immediately fall to the ground unconscious. He became increasingly annoyed as he saw the security officers climbing over the wall and charging at them!
"A counter attack?!" Gahin said. He heard the agents shooting at the armored security but that did little to slow them.
"Sir, they are close to breaching our defenses. We need to get out of here!" The agent said as he ran back inside the van. The door was slammed shut and the agent waited for orders. Gahin ignored the agent as he continued to watch the monitors.
"Team Three take out the insurgents!" He shouted into a radio and Team Three, that was as armored as the security, ran out to stop them.
"This deer is a pain in my ass!" Gahin shouted. "How did he see through my plan?"
"He obviously isn't as stupid as we thought he was...sir." The agent replied. The security officers threw EMP grenades and smoke grenades at the agents. They kept out of range until they were sure their own equipment would not be affected.
Gahin waited until the last second then he ordered for the van to get away. He was digging his fingers into the armrests of his seat and he swore he would return and get revenge.
A few hours had passed and we finally left the panic room now that the agents had all been captured. Lou had been sorting them out to decide who he was going to keep and whom he was going to sell to slavers. He seemed to be deliberately taking his time as if he was keeping them all as hostages.
"There are a lot of big players coming at us. C.I.Z.A, the F.D.I, and possibly the army next. We're gonna have to pick a side because we can't fight everyone." I said as I pulled my father aside to speak to him.
"Why not? If this is how they ask for help, they are just asking for trouble." He replied coldly.
"Are you really planning to fight the humans AND the whole world also?" I asked. I heard him sigh and he put his hoof on my shoulder.
"I really don't plan to but an example must be set. I would have joined with C.I.Z.A. had they not arrested your dad to try and blackmail us into giving you and your brother to them so they could assassinate you both.
The Furries could have had my support but when they captured your dad and brother they crossed the line and lost all respect. They only reason these government agencies are interested in us is because I am the owner of both Bear and Merrik.
I believe they want to use them to get BH to bow to their will. Should he refuse I have no doubt that all the humans will be exterminated. I agree that BH is a problem but the humans are simple pawns that really don't know how the world evolved around them while they hid in the forests.
We have a chance to save a once extinct species and help bring them into modernity with a chance to grow and thrive. It may take time but they could become valuable allies in the future. That is why this needs to be handled carefully!" He replied.
"Father, I completely agree with you except we need allies. We're spreading ourselves out too thin and this will make helping the humans impossible."
"Then what do you suggest? Son."
"We turn our quote, unquote, allies against each other giving us a better chance to take control." I said and my father raised an eyebrow as he stared at me.
"First we agree to help C.I.Z.A but they must work side by side with The F.D.I. and the same inturn with the F.D.I."
"What makes you think they won't?" Lou asked.
"Because we play with them, turning them against each other... in subtle ways of course." I replied with a grin.
"Of course," Lou repeated but he continued to look at me skeptically.
"Dad and Lyon are... What's the word? Not simple but... innocent so if they let stuff slip," I said but held off intentionally finishing so that my father could put two and two together and get my meaning.
"Ah, I see. We make them suspicious of each other. They turn their focus away from us and towards each other." He replied as he suddenly caught on to my plan.
"As an added bonus to keep them distracted you are gonna free both Bear and Merrik. Divide them, not us." I finished.
"But you know both Merrik and Bear will undoubtedly turn against us."
"I expect that but the enemy of my enemy is a temporary tool to use." I repeated the old proverb they taught us in school.
"That's a hell of a risk." Lou replied. I nodded but I gently grabbed his face and turned him to look at Leggo and Lyon. They were busy having a burping contest and Ben sat next to them covering his face.
"I thought you liked a challenge?" I said and my father grinned again. He grabbed me and kissed my head again.
"You truly are my son," He remarked.
"Seems Uncle Mel will be paying us a visit so that I can remove his collar and turn him back into Merrik. He'll go to C.I.Z.A. and explain our demands while I also send one of the agents we captured to the F.D.I. directors and explain our proposition.
After we get their cooperation we can visit Bear while our plans are set in motion. We'll have to play it by ear but worse comes to worse it'll buy us some time in hopes that a better alternative presents itself." Lou said.
"We still have one more ace in the hole," I said and Lou stared at me in confusion. "When I was a prisoner at The White Citadel I was given to BH as a son. I could always play double agent again." I said and my father suddenly turned angry.
"No fucking way! I'm sure he'll remember that you already did that and if you fall into his paws!" Lou shouted. I lowered my ears as I saw the others turn and look at us. Leggo was frowning and Ben glared at me. Lyon was too busy trying to build up to an even louder burp to even care at the moment. He had been used to father and myself arguing that it seemed to not phase him.
Mel was getting dressed for work when he heard his cell phone ring. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Leggo. This made him quickly answer it.
"Hey buddy, What's going on?" Mel asked.
"My hubby is throwing a shindig tonight and wanted to know if you wanna come." Leggo replied.
"What's the party for?"
"Well my son and his boyfriend got engaged and Lou is busy planning out their wedding years in advance." Leggo whispered.
"In advance?" Mel asked.
"Well they're still to young to officially tie their paws but that's not stopping Lou. He's looking for a caterer to employ when they actually tie their paws so he's trying out some foods and we need help choosing.
Let's be honest here, it's free eats. All you could want... know what I mean?" Leggo said. Un known to Mel Lou was standing by listening in and writing notes for Leggo to say. Poor Leeggo had lowered his ears because he hated lying to his friend, even if Mel was once Merrik and he had tried to kill his boys. He had seemed to change a lot since then after all his memories were erased by the slave collar he wore.
"You know me, I'd never say no to free food. The only condition is that you gotta do a favor for me." Mel replied.
"Sure what is it?"
"Dunno yet... you'll just owe me one. Got it?" Mel asked.
"Sure buddy, anything you say.... just please, please, show up so I don't have to deal with Lou alone. I don't think I can stand him going crazy over a simple wedding." Leggo begged.
"OK but remember that you owe me one!" Mel replied and added emphasis to the last part. He figured he could weasel a free day off from work from Leggo for this one and he was getting fed in the process.
