Mistress Mary
It was Friday night in the Leather and Lace. Strobe lights and spotlights bounced off flesh and leather; tonight was master and slave night, the majority of the crowd either a master or mistress or slave. The music throbbed through out the club, occasionally a scream of pain or was it pleasure broke through the cacophony. Valinda wound her way thru the club, keeping an iron grip on the slim steel chain in her hand. The chain was attached to a studded collar around Toru's neck. Valinda had taken him instead of one of the others, because his culture was no stranger to fetishism.
"Cody where is Mr. Velvet coat?" Valinda asked over her mike as she led Tanaka thru the crush of bodies.
Cody was searching the crowd on his camera screens in the van. "I haven't spotted him yet..ah ha ha got him he's at the main bar next to the dancer's cage." Cody said as he found the velvet-coated man.
"Cody, which cage? There are three of them." Valinda asked in an exasperated tone.
"The one with the two dancers in it on the far left of the bar." Cody said narrowing his location.
"Thank you! I see him now. We're heading over Valinda out."
Tanaka moved in closer to Valinda to avoid getting sucked into the crowd as they moved thru it. He didn't want her to without back up when she confronted the suspect.
Valinda released the chain before they completely cleared the crowd. Tanaka took up a position in the crowd where he could see the both of them. Valinda made her way to the bar.
The velvet coat watched as the tall amazon made her way over to the bar; she was obviously a mistress, probably looking for a slave to play with.
She had Xena looks and an attitude to match. She filled out the leather and lace vest and pants very nicely they were form-fitted and pretty much skintight. She wore her raven hair in a single braid down her back.
"Kentucky bourbon straight up." She demanded and got from the bartender.
He ordered a flaming brandy after she got her drink.
"Well aren't we just the warrior princess." He said by way of greeting.
"Aren't we a fucking fairy." She answered back taking in his velvet and lace wardrobe.
"Such a sharp tongue, how about a truce amazon?" He answered running his fingertips thru the blue flames of his beverage.
They were two feet apart, and her hand was near his. He had a theory about her; something in the way she moved and held herself. He grabbed her hand before she could move it, and brought her wrist over the flame of his drink.
Valinda hissed quietly as she felt the heat under her wrist. She held her ground and didn't pull away, as she signaled Toru to hold his position. Velvet coat was a true sadist; his favorite plaything was the unwilling victim, not the masochist. It was no fun for the true sadist if the victim enjoyed the pain.
"Well now aren't we well trained: so mistress who's your master?" Velvet coat asked twisting her hand until it was palm up.
"I belong to no one." Valinda replied grabbing hold of his wrist and dragging it into the fire.
She breathed an internal sigh of relief when he loosened his grip on her.
"What's the matter can't take the heat?" she purred still holding fast to him.
She released his hand and drank the brandy before he could protest. She knew he had Jake, she knew it deep in her bones.
"I'm looking for a former slave of mine he was in here maybe two days ago, I heard you may have seen him." She asked moving in closer to him.
Velvet coat stood still his ego wouldn't let him admit this woman intimidated him.
"Yes I seem to remember a young man, but then again I see a lot of young dark haired men."
"I'll bet you do." She replied caustically looking into the crowd surrounding the bar.
Without a word she left the bar and walked into the crush snagging Tanaka's chain as she went by.
They made their way to the van quickly and unobtrusively.
"Well, what have we learned from our adventures tonight?" Cody greeted them as they climbed in.
"He definitely has Jake." Valinda replied pulling on her jacket, and helping Tanaka out of his collar.
"How do we know this?" Tanaka said treating the burn on Valinda's wrist.
Valinda hissed in pain as the antiseptic was applied and the bandages were wrapped.
"Because I never described Jake to him I just said I was looking for someone. Cody do we know who this guy is?"
" Yeah his name is Jarod Reed, he owns the Leather & Lace, and get this he built this club from the ground up."
"Cody get me the building plans and anything else on the public record that has to do with this building." Donovan asked reading the screen over Cody's shoulder.
"Jake is still inside and we're running out of time." Valinda added re-securing her back up weapon to her back.
