Lamb chops anyone?

Jake awoke with his shoulders screaming in pain. He had been hung by his hands, and stripped to the waist, and he was barefoot. He felt frigid air flowing over his skin; goose pimples erupted all over his body. He tried to call out, but the ball gag in his mouth stopped his cries. He looked around and was blinded by the pure white light he was bathed in.

"Hello Eddie, it's so nice to meet you." A baritone voice sounded out from the surrounding darkness. Jake couldn't tell where the voice was coming from, until he felt warm hands on his back; they brushed seductively across his back. Jake kicked out in a futile attempt to hit whoever was touching him. He got smacked on the ass for his trouble.

"Now, now Eddie, none of that you'll hurt yourself."

"Mbuk ohh!" Jake mumbled out a fuck you thru the gag, and kicked out again. The man just patted his back and circled Jake.

"Now then let's get started." He said slapping something into his hand. Jake couldn't see his face, but he saw what was in his hand, and Jake was afraid. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________

What happened to Jake?



At the nest Cody sat in front of his computer bank, Donovan sat in front of him watching the tape from the club. They had slow motioned thru the tape when Jake had entered the club, and when he went to the bar, Cody cleaned up the image of the man standing beside him. The unknown subject was Jake's height, blonde, had patrician features and was in form fitting lace pants and a velvet overcoat; his well-muscled chest glistened in lighting from the bar.

"Cody find out who this man is." Donovan said quietly.

"We're absolutely positive Carlos Borrego had nothing to do with Jake's disappearance? Alex asked from the table she was sitting at.

"Yes, Borrego left after you and I did with a set of red-headed twins." Valinda said from the steps leading to Donovan's office. Cody watched Jake leave Borrego's table and make his way thru the crush, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he enhanced the Jake's image

"Sir your might want to see this." He said tapping a few more keys and re-pixelating the image making it much clearer than before.

"Put it up Cody,"

Cody put the image on the big screen. It showed Jake moving thru the crowd and then two large men clad in full latex body suits tackling Jake and pulling him deeper into the club. Jake struggled but was knocked out. The team lost his form in the sea of latex and leather.

He never left the club and I can't make out where he was taken." Cody said frustrated at his inability to provide answers, but he had pushed his equipment to its limit and beyond to get this.

"Monica can you check to see if there are any other disappearances associated with the Leather & Lace or surrounding clubs." Donovan said playing a hunch.

"Yes, sir I'll get right on it." Monica said logging onto the terminal next to Cody's.

Donovan went up to his office; Valinda and her team went to their part of the nest complex. They reviewed what had happened and planned out abilities to avoid this from happening again. Alex went through Jake's arrest files trying to see if there was anyone out to get Jake. She didn't find anyone currently available to get Jake. Monica and Cody continued their computer searches.

After several hours, when the words on the screen were starting to blur, they got a hit. Monica quickly paged everyone back to the briefing room.

"What did you find?" Donovan asked coming down out of his office.

"I've got six missing persons and three bodies." Monica answered.

" The missing young men were all eighteen to thirty years old and disappeared inside the club or in the immediate area. The bodies all showed up within a twenty-mile radius from the club, and they could all be Jake's brother." Cody said punching up file photos and stats.

" What connects the bodies to the Leather & Lace?" Donovan asked.

"Their friends and witnesses place the victims at the club before their disappearance." Monica said taking a closer look at the NCIC file. She held the file up and quickly flipped the pages back and forth several times. " Uh.. We've got a serial killer on our hands." She said looking up. "We have about three days to find Jake before this guy kills him."

"Are we sure this psycho has Jake?" Cody questioned.

"Yes, you said it yourself, these guys could have been Jake's brother." Monica said putting the victims up on the main view screen.

"Okay, okay." Cody gave in.

"What is his signature bedsides young men who look like Jake?" Donovan asked from his seat at the briefing table.

"Day one the abduction and whipping and beating. Coroner's report on all three victims reports deep lacerations to the back and shoulders probably from a bullwhip or a cat-o-nine tails. Day two burns were inflicted wit candle wax and heated metal objects. On day three the victim is repeatedly strangled and revived. On the final day the victim is raped and strangled to death." Monica finished in complete and total silence.

Valinda broke the silence" Then I suggest we get moving, before we have a body search on our hands."

"Cody get me everything there is to know about that club, and I want it yesterday." Donovan ordered.

"Yes, sir right on it."

Donovan took the file from Monica and headed up to his office.
