Kate Beckett and the Mystery of Paradise Island
Chapter 5:
“Leviathanâ€
Paradise Island, early Morning, just after Dawn.
The brown Terrazzo Tiles felt cold under her Philo´s Soles. Philomena stood at the Balcony of their Bedroom. Her and Julia´s. The Scot was snoring softly. The Briton gazed into the Distance at the azure blue, crystal clear Sea and the gleaming white sandy beach. From here she could watch the Marina: It was quiet there:
Several luxury Yachts swayed gently at Anchor.
One secluded Berth was empty she knew. It could not be found in any Plan. It was more of a Bunker – which in Fact it was. A Remnant from the Resorts chequered Past - the Island had been a secret British Base in World War II – which had been used for Black Operations during and after the War. It had been forgotten – till Philomena´s Great-Grandfather had bought the Island and founded Paradise Island.
Now Paradise Island was a very exclusive, very posh Spa: For anyone who could afford it and was interested in its Special Services. Its precise Location was a well-covered Secret. One couldn´t just find it on the Net and book a Vacation.
Among the many Steps required? One needed to be invited by one of Paradise Island´s Patrons. Sarah McKenzie was among them, as was Alecto, Christine von der Marwitz was one too – of late. The Black Lady had vouched for her – and Anna Romanova.
Among the Privileges of Patronage: The special Travel Arrangements did not apply to them.
Her mind wandered back to the previous evening:
Paradise Island´s CEO was familiar with Sarah McKenzie. Intimately. That Woman was Legend – and a Scourge. The Briton remembered especially one Meeting long ago: The Canadian had her fun with her, which meant Philo had ended up stripped naked, frogtied, and ring-gagged on her bed … the Night had been memorable. A nasty Accessory? The vibrating Nipple Clamps …. Her Breasts were tender for Days.
And now they needed the Canadian – and McKenzie knew that ….
“Yesterday evening†the black-haired Woman mused aloud …. “I hate her!â€
The Masterthief had commanded the Room easily the Moment she entered “Philo it is such a pleasure you invited us over†The Canadian smiled “And to see sweet Julia again!†The Redhead blushed and broke Eye contact “You do look splendid†Sarah McKenzie teased the Scot, leering openly at her Decollete – the redhead wore a deep-cut blue gown.
“You are too kind,†Julia nodded demurely and looked studiously at the marble floor. She blushed. The Scot remembered the Spanking the Thief had delivered at their last Meeting too well “I couldn´t sit for two days!†Julia shuddered at the Memory – but not out of Fear ….no, definitely not.
“May I present Natasha Bolkonskaya to you!†the Canadian smiled.
Philomena had noticed the Russian had waited two Steps behind The Black Lady. She sized the Woman up: Bolkonskaya was tall: At least 180 cm, muscular, trained, athletic – with the Air of a Predator “Yet she acts like a Sub†Philomena was intrigued “But she is none!â€
“You are welcome†She smiled at the other Woman “I am Philomena†she pointed to her left “This is Julia†The Scot nodded slightly – but did not look the Russian in the Eye “This is our Chief of Security, Agnetha†Philo pointed at her right “Alecto you already knowâ€
Bolkonskaya and McKenzie exchanged a look. With an imperceptible nod, “By Reputation,†the Russian smiled and bowed slightly. “Your Fame proceeds you, Mistress Alecto!†Her Smile harboured on Arrogance—just. Barely.
“As does yours†the Asian acknowledged with a slight nod. Agnetha Ohlson was intrigued. There were a lot of undercurrents at play here. As Chief of Security, she knew a lot about all Persons present.
“We heard you need our help?†Sarah McKenzie interrupted. The Canadian smiled at them, Silence greeted her “I see†the black-haired Woman smiled – and looked Philomena straight in the Eye, still smiling “You Geniuses managed to get Kate Beckett abducted? Because you played some stupid Game?â€
“Not that you wouldn´t play any stupid Games†Philomena muttered “No†McKenzie chuckled “But I do not lose my Playthingsâ€
The Briton cursed inwardly “You arrogant condescending Bitch!â€
The Canadian still smiled “You are really lucky Chris von der Marwitz and Anna Romanova are on Tour on the other side of the World†McKenzie paused “I talked with Blondie – your luck? She and Romanova have to play this Evening in Tokyo.â€
Still, the Canadian smiled as she continued “Von der Marwitz gives us 24 Hours – if we don´t get Beckett back till then? The Ladies will board the next flight here – and you don´t want a pissed-off Blondie here. Neither a pissed-off Romanova.â€
Alecto kept a neutral Face. She knew enough about the Pianist and her best Friend to know the Canadian was right. In Switzerland, they had not met personally. But the Assassin had her Sources: Alecto would not risk a direct Confrontation if she could avoid it …
“Blondie is very protective when it comes to Family†Bolkonskaya added pleasantly.
Philomena´s Lips were a thin line. She knew the two Artists and their Reputation – by hearsay. And what the Blonde could do with the Katana, the Russian with the Rifle.
“They are not pleased, I can tell you!†The Masterthief smiled maliciously “So you are lucky you have only me here to sort that Drama outâ€
The Thief thought back:
Sarah McKenzie had called Chris from the other side of the World: She and Anna were about to give a Concert in Tokyo that evening “They did what?†Chris von der Marwitz sounded cool and controlled but the Canadian had sensed the Artist´s Rage, lurking under the Surfcace “Yes, our favourite Homicide Detective has been abducted†The Thief confirmed quietly “And no, you won´t cancel the Concert, I and Natasha will handle this. Periodâ€
A Pause at the other End.
“Right, you have 24 Hours†Chris finally spoke “Keep us informedâ€
“I will†Sarah had ended the call.
The Canadian looked sternly at Alecto and Philomena, all jest gone “You asked for my help. You will get it – but there are some Conditions†McKenzie cut across Philo who was about to object “I will call the Shots†She looked each one in the Eye “I will run the Show†That coal-black Eyes gleamed ominously.
The Masterthief waited:
“Objections?†She looked around “No?†She smiled graciously “Then bring me up to speed ….â€
Philomena fumed inwardly – but they had no Choice. They needed the Canadian and the Russian. She had discussed that Issue with Julia, Agnetha, and Alecto “We need them†The petite Swede had ended their Deliberations “We did screw up†She smiled lopsidedly at Philomena and Alecto “No, you didâ€
The Asian had hidden her Emotions behind an impassive Façade – but the Briton knew, she was angry. Philomena knew for a fact that the Assassin had Caroline left ball tied and gagged on her bed – after she had spanked her thoroughly.
“Right,†Alecto had nodded curtly and faced the Masterthief “What do you propose?â€
The Canadian had smiled sweetly “Let me tell you my young Padavan! Let´s say, I have some useful Contacts!â€
Natasha had followed the Conversation – but kept a neutral Face.
Her Mistress had done it again ….
“My Mistress?†she chuckled. Never would Natasha Bolkonskaya have thought she would turn out a switch ….
They had convened around the large Table. Agnetha Ohlson had started a Presentation. “This is the Situation,†the lithe Blonde explained ….
The Present:
Philomena sighed and stepped back into her spacious Bedroom. “Come back to Bed, Philo,†Julia mumbled sleepily. The Redhead was lying on her Front, her long red Mane covering her smooth marble-like Skin, and sleepily searching with her right Hand after her Companion.
A warm feeling flooded Philomena, and a wicked Smile curled her Lips. “I am coming, my Love!†she whispered huskily as she stepped nearer on her bare Feet. “We can do nothing more than wait now anyway.†Longingly, she looked down at the sleeping Scot. “I am coming, my Love! Alea iacta est!â€
And jumped on the Mattress ….
Unknown Location at the Caribbean, later:
Kate groaned “Where am I?†She lay on her back. Something soft covered her Body “I lay on a Mattress†she concluded. Slowly she got more lucid – and Memories flooded back. The evil Twins had their way with her. Finally, the Chloroform doused Cloth …. She had been almost out already, but she remembered a Whisper “Or do I imagine that only?†What had the Voice said, “She will need all her Strength tomorrow, Leviathan is hungry!â€
Beckett shuddered.
The Detective opened her Eyes – and stared at a white Ceiling. Concrete? Painted Concrete?†With a Groan she sat up. The soft Cover covering her Body glided down. Kate looked down: She wore a Pyjama. Absentmindedly she noticed the cool red Silk on her Skin. The Brunette shuddered. She threw the Covers aside, swung her legs on the Floor. It felt cool under her bare soles.
Next to her Feet stood a Pair of red Crocs on the Floor. Kate slipped them on. The Detective hated cold Feet on Principle. Her prison cell was “Eight by eight,†and she smiled ruefully. All Concrete. Besides her Cot, there was a Sink, and a Toilette made of stainless steel. A dim lightbulb spent a flickering Light. Kate noted a simple Table – made of rough Steel too. On it? A Plate: A bottle of Water, Bread, Cheese ….
Only now Kate noted she had been washed and bathed. With a groan, she stood and tapped to the Sink. There was even a white Towel. Kate touched it: Rough white Linen. She splashed some cold Water on her Face. Now she was entirely awake. The Detective looked at her Mirror Image: The smudges under her Eyes. Her Skin was pale. Kate dried her Face with the Towel. It was rough. But rubbed away the last Fragments of Sleepiness.
Her Gaze rested on the Table. The Bottle of Water … “My Throat is as dry as Sandpaper†Kate realized. She gulped down the Water in almost one Gulp. It was remarkably cool – and fresh. And it cleared her still foggy Mind.
The Bread looked fresh too. Some Baguette. And the Cheese … Kate had to smile. Castle was not a friend of Cheese in general. Kate was. Her Mother had loved French Cheese – and taught her a lot about it. By now she had educated her Husband to appreciate all Sorts of Cheese … “Castle, I miss you†she whispered softly.
Kate pulled herself together: If Cersei thought she could break her so easily? She would be in for a Surprise. And there was a Feeling …. A warm Feeling. Something that made her feel good. Somehow she knew she was not alone. That someone would come for her ….
With a Groan she sat down at the Table. It would just be Bread and Cheese this morning. Whatever the Day would bring. Whatever that Leviathan was. She imagined Castle before her inner Eye. Castle, Chris, Anna – Sarah. Someone would come “And I have to stay strong till you come!â€
She would.
Kate ripped off some of the Baguette …..
Somewhere else at the same Time:
Natasha Bolkonskaya was intrigued. She had never been on a Submarine before. The Russian was a qualified Pilot. Had flown Jets, Helicopters, and the like. But a Submarine? That was something new. And she felt a tad uncomfortable. They had departed before Sunrise. They? They had been Sarah McKenzie, Alecto, Agnetha Ohlson, and her Team of hand-picked security Guards. All well-trained and armed to the Teeth.
Natasha had been impressed by the petite Swede. The Russian would not admit that to anybody, but the lithe trained Blonde stirred something into her … If the Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar had a Twin? Agnetha Ohlson would be it. Gellar was famous for her Role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer – but Agnetha was a Slayer too, the Russian had sensed as they met yesterday.
“When all this is over?†the dark-haired Woman smiled to herself “We will have some fun!â€
They had left Paradise Island before Dawn. It had been silent in the Boat. Only the soft Sounds of the Machines and the Mechanics. Natasha looked at her Watch. Three Hours to their Destination. She felt someone looking at her …keenly …
Sarah McKenzie smiled “Natasha, Natasha, “ she thought to herself “Looking for some Entertainment?â€
The Canadian pulled herself together. They had to save Kate Beckett. She had not expected Cersei to go that far …. that Alecto had miscalculated that badly neither. Sarah McKenzie loved a Challenge. She truly did – but this was different. The Canadian had never expected she would feel that way.
She, the Masterthief, the Assassin had met Christine von der Marwitz. Back then? The first Time? The Pianist had been just a Contract. Her Contract had been clear: Persuade the Pianist to back off. To keep her Nose out of Things they did not concern her. But things had gone differently. Sarah had become attached to the tall Blonde, with her green Eyes, her full firm Breasts, her firm Butt, and her soft Feet.

Never had she thought she would be Part of that Patchwork Family. She of all People. Something she had never known: A real Family. Closest Thing to a Family had been her Grandfather, a Fisherman, who had taught her all that was to know about the Seven Seas – and Knots.
The Masterthief admired the Pianist for what she had done: Christine von der Marwitz lost her Parents. That Loss devasted her. Through darkness, through light, the Pianist had founded a Family of her own “What am I?†the Thief wondered …. “In that Family?â€
The Canadian had to smile, mischievously “I am Grandmother†The Masterthief chuckled “And I have to take care of my Grandchildsâ€
And she would.
She smiled coldly:
“Cersei you have been naughty ….. you are in for a good spanking!â€
Her Face grew hard “If you are lucky!â€
Unknown Location at the Caribbean
Cersei smiled. So far, her Game had played out perfectly. This Opportunity to get back at Alecto and Philomena had been perfect. It would have been a shame to let it go to waste. On a certain Level, she felt Pity for Beckett. Enough to let this opportunity pass? No “If she knew what Leviathan is? She would wet her Pants!†Even Beckett.
Today would be spectacular. Cersei looked forward to it. At first “Cersei†had just been some sort of Nickname. Now, she embraced the Name. It had become her Name. She was Cersei. She felt Sympathy for that Character. No, that was wrong – she did not just feel Sympathy. She understood the fictional Cersei´s Actions perfectly well.
For her? Cersei Lannister was a role Model. Her walk of Shame? How had she felt for her? Alecto and Philomena had something done to her that rivalled that Walk of Shame. She would deliver Payback, and if Kate Beckett had to suffer to deliver said Payback? It was an Inconvenience. One, that served a greater Good. The greater Good was important. A single Individual was not. Kate Beckett was not.
A soft knock at her Doors interrupted her “Yes?â€
Penelope stepped over the Threshold “All is ready Mylady†That cruel Smile, that true Cersei-Lannister-Smile curled Cersei´s Lips “Prepare our Offering for Leviathan then – I shall meet you in one Hour!†She turned her Attention to her iBook again.
Penelope knew she was dismissed, bowed slightly, and left “Sometimes she gives me the Creeps†she mused as she strode down the Corridor and to the Stairwell which led to the Complex´s lower Levels. Penelope did not know much about its History. Their HQ had been once a secret British Base, that she knew.
For their Operations, this was the perfect Lair. Only very few People still knew about its Existence – if any. Penelope would not have been surprised if Cersei – as her Boss liked to be called – had taken care, that none was left to tell the Tale. Eradicated every Trace in dusty Archives and Databases.
Kate´s Cell:
Kate counted. Backwards. From 1000 downwards. She fixated on the Concrete Wall she faced. The Brunette sat cross-legged on her Cott. She had slipped off her Crocs. The Concrete in her Back felt cool. And rough. Resolutely she pushed every thought about the mysterious Leviathan in the most distant Corner of her Mind.
Now she was grateful that Chris had taught her some of the “Ninja-Stuff†as Birte Ricciarelli called it. The petite Europol Cop had harboured her Prejudices about the tall Blonde too – but corrected them during the final Stages of the Hunt for the Lost Scrolls:
The Hunt for the Lost Scrolls: Chapter 63 by Imhotep-Ra on DeviantArt
Chris and Anna had saved Birte´s Life in true von der Marwitz Fashion, Kate had to smile … and focused on Counting again: “567, 566, 565 ….†The massive steel Door of her Cell swung open. Penelope and Artemisia stepped over the Threshold …
Kate kept her Face neutral. She tried. And failed.
The Evil Twins, as she had dubbed them wore white skintight Spandex Suits. White Sneakers at their Feet. Penelope – Kate assumed it was Penelope – was in the lead. Her Sister shoved a Trolley over the Threshold. Kate could not see what was on it – yet
“And I thought I would enjoy some quality Time alone …†She quipped.
Penelope smiled sweetly and false “You will enjoy some Quality Time – with Leviathan†If her Handler had aimed for a Reaction she was disappointed “I can hardly wait!†Beckett smiled “There will be Payback Bitch!†Kate thought “You want a Reaction? You have to do better!†Almost lazily she uncrossed her long Legs and stood:
To face her Handlers. Arms folded under her Breasts.
Penelope was surprised. The Detective was more tough than they had expected her to be. She was the trophy wife of a famous Writer and part of New York´s High Society. Penelope smiled. This would be fun!
Kate could see now what was on the Trolly:
“How very creative!†the detective smiled disdainfully “I thought you would come up with something really original!†She chuckled mirthlessly “Don´t tell me! I shall strip now?â€
Beckett smiled almost coyly.
Against her Will Penelope was impressed. This was not simple Bravado. A desperate Gamble to impress her Handlers. Kate Beckett meant what she said, “Too bad we have no time to break you,†The Afro-American thought “Well, Leviathan will break you!†Penelope smiled “No doubt about that†She had watched some Offering Ceremonies. None had been pleasant.
She turned to Beckett who stared defiantly at her from those keen grey Eyes “Yes Captain! Strip!†Slowly, almost lazily, Kate unbuttoned her PJ´s, pulled them off, and threw them on the Floor. Defiantly she glared at her Handlers. The Brunette kicked her Crocs off.
“Isn´t she a Beauty?†Artemisia chuckled and leered at Kate´s full Breasts. Without breaking Eye Contact the Captive rolled the blue fullback Panties down – she was about to throw them on the Concrete Floor, but Penelope shook her Head and smiled at her “Those go in your Mouth!â€
Kate was about to tell her Handlers they should f*ck themselves – but held her Tongue, balled the Panties up, stuffed the used Garment in her Mouth, and wretched “I have been pretty aroused†She concluded. Finally, the deed was done.
Still, defiantly the Detective fixated the evil Twins cooly “We brought you a wonderful Swimsuit!†Artemisia handed Kate the upper Part of a red Swimsuit. It was purple and seemed to be made from the same neoprene-like Material the Suit she had worn yesterday had been made off.
It felt cool to the Touch and heavier than a usual Swimsuit. Kate looked at the Cups inside and discovered hundreds of small Knobs “Isn´t it wonderful?†Penelope chuckled as Kate stared Daggers at her.
As she put the Garment on she discovered two Things: The BH was a tad too Smalls and the knobs, pressed tightly into the soft firm Flesh of her Breasts “Suits you well Captain!†Artemisia teased their Captive and handed her the Bottom with a broad Smile “Don´t worry they are well lubricated!â€
In Disbelief Kate looked at the two Dildos which were Part of the Garment. Kate discovered the Twin had not lied: The two Accessories were indeed well-lubricated. The Brunette winced and groaned, as she got used to the Dildos.
The twins set to Work: 20 Minutes later Kate looked at her Mirror Image. A heavy red Neck-Corset-Contraption covered her lower Face and rested on her Shoulders. Kate had experience with such Gags. Her lower Face felt like in a Vice.
A red Armbinder welded her Arms together behind her Back. Gleefully Penelope had pulled its Crotchstrap tight and anchored it to a Spandex Girdle around her Waist. Her Ankles had been shackled together with heavy neoprene-lined Manacles. Her Gaze rested on her red Toenails:
Under different Circumstances, she would have liked the stylish red Platform Sandals. But like the Bra the Soles of the Shoes were covered with hundreds of red Knobs, which pressed now in the soft Flesh of her Soles.
Another five Minutes later her two Handlers led the blind, mute, and deaf Brunette along a long concrete Corridor: A heavily padded Blindfold had robbed Kate of her Sight, noise-cancelling Earbuds of her Hearing. She could not decide what was more uncomfortable: The Bra, the pulsating Dildos, or the Sandals …
She stepped forward. Head held high. Straight. Not that she could have done anything else anyway.
Outside:
Cersei stood on the Patio, nursed a Planter´s Punch, and gazed down at the small, secluded Cove below. Josef had many Talents besides the Bastinado. Fabricating fantastic Cocktails was one of them. She sensed his Presence behind her and smiled: The Sex this Night had been fantastic. Hard and rough as she liked it.
She had ridden him hard before he had turned the Tables …. She had allowed him to turn the Tables. Cersei smiled “No one controls me. No one. Whoever tries? Pays the Price!â€
The Redhead took another sip. The Cocktail was strong … just the way she liked it.
The Cove was dry. A massive Wall of black precisely hewn Basalt Blocks shielded it from the Sea. In its Centre stood a Pole made of gleaming polished Steel. From the Beach, a Path made of Concrete led down to it.
A cruel Smile curled her Lips “You think she will survive Leviathan?†She put the Cocktail Glas down on a round Table “She is strong!†Josef's Hands moved quickly in Sign-Language “You think so?†Cersei smiled hard “We will see!â€
Inside the Complex:
They had walked several long Corridors. Stairs up, Stairs down. The Air felt cool and dry on her Skin. She smelled Concrete. Several Stairs down. A firm Grip on her right Shoulder. Kate took that as a Signal to stop. A sharp Slap on her Butt “I will kill those Bitches†she fumed “When I get the Chance†– the Brunette pulled herself together “I will get the Chance†she vowed to herself. Another Slap and a firm push between her Shoulderblades. Kate growled into her Gag but stepped forward.
She felt the warm Sun on her Skin. And inhaled the tangy Scent of the open Sea. Kate had no Idea what Hour it was. Her inner Clock – Castle always made Fun of that – told her though it had to be around Midmorning. Two strong Hands gripped her at her upper Arms – and led her forward. Walking on the damned Sandals was difficult. With each Step, the vibrating Nobs pressed in her Soles. Balls and Heels were the worst.
The Path led down gently. Her Handlers steadied her. The Sea´s Scent got more intense. They stopped. Suddenly a Voice rang into her Ears. Kate could hear the Sounds of the Sea now “Listen Sugar†Penelope whispered in her left ear, her moist Lips brushing her Ear Lobe “We will now prepare you for Leviathan – behave! Are we clear?†Kate mumbled in her packed Mouth “I am glad we understand each other Sweetie!†Penelope chuckled – and slapped her hard on her Butt.
Penelope and Artemisia set to work …..
Nobody noticed the herring Gull circling above. It was one over several Gulls.
Somewhere else:
Alecto, Agnetha Ohlsen, Sarah McKenzie and Natasha Bolkonskaya stood around a large Screen. They watched through the Eyes of a Bird circling: The Bird circled over a Cove. The Cove was dry. In its Centre stood a Metal Pole.
They watched at three People. “Enlarge,†the Canadian commanded. The Drone Pilot typed some Commands: Two Afro-American Women wearing white Spandex Suits fastened a Brunette clad in a red Bikini to the Pole. The Brunette was heavily restrained.
“Those Bitches†Natasha muttered. Kate had been tied with small padded Spandex Straps from the Shoulders down. Then she had been fastened to the Pole “I will kill Cersei†Alecto vowed “I will lend you a Hand†Sarah McKenzie stated firmly.
“What are they doing?†Agnetha Ohlson asked nobody in particular “The Cove is dry†Alecto chuckled mirthlessly “I know what they are doing: Leviathanâ€
If one knew the Asian very well? One could think she felt sorry …
“What is Leviathan?†Natasha inquired. “What are they teaching at School these days?†Sarah McKenzie sighed exaggeratedly. “Have you ever read Thomas Hobbes?†The Russian smiled. “I heard the Name!â€
The two white-clad Women left the third Woman alone and walked up the Beach again. The Onlookers watched as Water streamed into the Cove. Slowly the Tide rose. Still, the Water was two or three Meters away from the Woman strapped to the Pole. With every Wave, it crept nearer. She did not move. She did not struggle.
The Brunette wore a red two-piece Swimsuit and shimmering red high-platform sandals. Her Toes Nails in the same Shade. She tried to move her Feet. The Woman seemed to writhe. To rub her Body against the Pole. The Camera focused on the Brunette´s Face. Her keen grey Eyes were wide. Her lower Face hidden by a red Contraption.
The next Wave touched her red Platform-Sandals Tipps.
The Complex: The Patio
“Doesn´t she look good?†Cersei chuckled “You think she does?†the Redhead smiled as she deciphered Josef´s Sign Language “You think she does? I didn´t expect she was your Type!†Something flashed across the Nigerian´s Face. It went quickly though. Cersei did not notice it, too engrossed in the sight below.
The Cove:
The Water had reached her Calves by now. The pulsating Knobs under her Soles, the vibrating Dildos, and the Knobs tormenting her Breasts. Her Handlers had tied her with Straps first before wielding them to the Metal Pole. Her Accessories were obviously coordinated – perfectly synchronized. With every Wave, the Tide rose higher. She had no Idea what would be coming her way.
The Brunette had forced herself not to dwell too much about what Leviathan was. Cersei was playing mind games. The Villainess had wanted to throw Kate off Balance. Captain Kate Beckett was resolved not to play that Game “She underestimates me†– “And I will kick her Ass!†Kate strained against her Bonds “F*ck this!†Orgasm Number Two washed above her. She would have screamed if she had not been gagged that tightly.
She drew breath through her Nose. Tried to regain her Composure. The Tide had risen again – below her Breasts. Kate shuddered. And strained against the Pole she was tied to. Her Arms welded together behind her back felt numb …
Cersei smiled at Josef “Let Leviathan in!â€
Somewhere else:
“What the Hell is happening now?†Natasha stared at the Screen …. Nonplussed.
The Cove:
Kate sensed it more than she saw: Something had changed. A Maelstrom formed ahead of her in the Middle of the Dam blocking the Cove. Another Orgasm loomed at the Horizon – but she denied her Body Control “No!†The Maelstrom was changing Direction. Something lurked beneath the Waves. Was moving. Was moving fast. Heading right at her. Straight like a Torpedo.
Kate steeled herself. Then it broke through the Surface. She froze. Stared at the Thing … the Creature … the Monster. For Kate Time froze as her Brain tried to process what she saw – yet her Body reacted. Kate was sure, she sweated “This is a paradox, I am in the Water, and I am sweating!â€
What did Kate saw?
Somewhere else before:
“What is this?†Agnetha Ohlson frowned as they watched the Video-Feed “This†Sarah McKenzie smiled “Is Leviathan!†“And what is this Thing?†Natasha inquired “A Sea Serpent†The Canadian explained “A real one?†“No Natasha†the Canadian explained “This is Artificial†The Masterthief turned to Alecto, who had followed the Exchange “Our common Friend can tell us more, can´t you?†The Canadian´s black Eyes drilled into the equally dark ones of Alecto “Tell them!†Now Sarah McKenzie sounded cold as Ice “You helped to create that Thing!â€
Grandmother was angry. That much Natasha could tell. And to her surprise, the Asian broke Eye contact – and blushed.
And started to talk.
The Cove:
What Kate saw was this: A Creature. A Serpent with the Head of an Ichthyosaurus. She did not know why she knew. It had been a memory from Childhood she realized later. A Book, Mother had read to her – about Dinosaurs. Somehow it had stuck.
The Creature towered above her. Its body was blue, blue, and grey. A muscular Body with that hideous Skull. It peered down at her from gleaming yellow Eyes. The Serpent dived down, and vanished under the Surface “What is it doing?†Kate´s rational Brain wondered. Then she felt it: Something curled around her tied Ankles. Something squishy. Like an Anaconda, a Boa Constrictor would wrap its Body around its Prey. Squeezing it. Pressing every ounce of Life out of it. Slowly. But relentlessly. Kate felt the Snake´s Body moving slowly upwards. One coil after the other. Squeezed, pressed.
The Pressure was immense. And it got more intense every second. Kate willed herself not to succumb to sheer Panic. The Snake pressed her ribcage together like a Vice. Breathing was already difficult. The stifling Gag. The constricting restraints.
Then it happened: The Creature´s hideous Head broke through the Surface again. Inches away from Kate´s face. Clinically, she registered the Details: The gleaming white razor-sharp Fangs. The flashing yellow Eyes. Rationally she knew the Monster had to be artificial. But it did look so real.
A sharp searing Pain shook her Body “The Beast did electrocute me!†Another shock. Even more intense …. “God, make it stop!†Kate cursed. Did she curse? She did not know. But she endured. Endured long. Endured till Darkness engulfed her with its comforting Veil …
On the Patio:
Cersei had followed with rapt Attention. Heat filled her Body, flooded it. This was better than any Aphrodisiacal. She watched as Kate Beckett´s Body grew finally limp. Her Head sunk “Captain Beckett, I have to give you that! You endured longer than the most would have!â€
She turned to Josef “Stop it. Take care Beckett is brought to her Cell and taken care of! We need her in good Shape tomorrow!†The Villainess signalled. Josef signalled back “I will!†He bowed, turned on his Heels and left. Cersei looked after him and touched herself.
“Josef, we will have some fun later!â€
Hours later:
Kate willed herself to open her Eyes. They felt like glued shut. She stared at the Ceiling. The Ceiling of her Cell. The Pictures did not flow like a fast-running river, more slowly like a Glacier would. As if in slow motion. One Picture after the other. She groaned. Then Memory hit home: The Creature. Its relentless pressure. The Electrocution “Ouch ….†She groaned. Her whole body hurt like after a heavy Workout.
Kate pulled the soft Covers aside and sat up and looked down “I am wearing another Pair of PJs†Grey ones this time. She swung her legs on the Floor. Her bare feet touched the cold Floor “Get up!†she encouraged herself.
Kate slipped the grey Crocs on and stood. The Brunette swayed slightly. She steadied herself and tapped over to the Toilette. Getting there was like a Marathon. Sitting. Pulling down her Trousers, her Panties “Yes I am wearing Panties!†was hard work. She relieved herself – and sighed ….
Business concluded Beckett got up – and realized that the sturdy Table was laid …. “What a pleasant Surprise!†she chuckled mirthlessly. Kate looked at the Table:
This Time her Meal was not as frugal as her Breakfast had been … and Kate could not deny it: She was hungry “I could devour an Ox!†With a sigh she sat down and tucked in … the Red Wine was surprisingly good … as was the hot spicy Lamb Curry. It burned her innards. But the Heat diminished the Pains in her Body.
Somewhere else:
“This is the Plan!†Sarah McKenzie looked from one to the other “No Diversions from the Plan or I will kick your Ass! Even in Hell! I will find you!†Natasha Bolkonskaya did her best to keep a straight face “Of course Mistress!â€
The Canadian stared at her sternly “Behave!†but could not suppress the Ghost of a Smile “Kate Beckett counts on us – and we won´t let her down!†She faced Alecto and looked the Asian straight in the Eye long.
Alecto stared back – but broke Eye-Contact and indicated a bow “Get ready then Ladies!†Sarah McKenzie commanded “Alright†Alecto nodded, the half-moon-shaped Scar stood out brightly red “But Cersei is mine! And mine alone!â€
The Canadian looked long at her “Fine with me!â€
Later: Cersei´s Quarters:
The Tide was running high in the large Dining Room, with its Panorama Windows which opened to the spacious Patio. Through open Windows, the eternal Sounds of the Caribbean Sea rang. As it was custom at small Tortuga Cersei had invited the Team Leaders and other high-ranking Members of the Black Watch for Dinner. This happened usually once a Month – but these Receptions happened also on special Occasions. Today was such an Event.
“I did not expect Beckett to last that long!†Penelope smiled. Like her Twin, she had donned a long blue strapless Gown, which left her muscular Shoulders bare “Yes†Cersei smiled “The good Captain set a new record!†She raised her Goblet filled with an exquisite South African Red “To Captain Beckett!†“To Captain Beckett†the other Guests shouted back.
“Why isn´t our special Guest joining us this Evening?†The Speaker was a tall Woman with long curly brown hair and cold brown Eyes “Cassandra†Cersei smiled “We want her well rested for Tomorrow´s Event – she will need all her Stamina. Not that it will help her in the Endâ€
“What do you have in mind?†Olivia, the IT Genius of the Team inquired “A good old Fox Hunt†The Redhead returned sweetly “Only Beckett will be the Fox!†Now Cersei´s Smile was outrightly evil again.
“Why don´t you have Josef another go at her?†Lucullus – a battle-hardened Warrior with short, cropped hair – inquired “Oh Josef will get his Chance tomorrow†Cersei smiled “If she survives the Fox Hunt†Josef stood behind her Chair, still like Statue.
The Complex: Main Gate:
Jenna Mapleton was bored. She and her Comrade Olga Anisimova had drawn the short Straw this Evening. Guard-Duty, while the Boss partied with their Superiors “This is just not right!†the Briton huffed “They have fun, and we bore us to death!†“That is our Duty!†Anisimova chided the lithe blonde Woman with the stylish Bob in her heavily accented English.
“Duty!†Jenna muttered “What should happen anyway? Nobody knows this Place exists!†She paused “At least Cassandra keeps saying that!†A wicked smile curled her Lips “You think the Boss allows us to have some fun with the Detective?†“No†Olga chuckled “You know her: Such Guests she keeps for herself and Penelope and Artemisia!â€
“Those Bimboos!†Jenna cursed “They always get the best Jobs!†Olga smiled “They have talented Tongues I heard!†“Wait!†Jenna interrupted her Comrade “Was there a Movement?†She pointed ahead – and shuddered “Ouch!†A sharp Prick above her left Breast. Incredulously she stared at the fluffy red bolt above her Breast. Like a large ragdoll, she crumbled to the Floor. She fell and fell and fell – then Blackness.
Out of the Darkness, several Shadows moved nearer. Precisely and stealthily like large Cats. Six Shadows. Natasha Bolkonskaya looked down at the two unconscious Guard under her Vizor Helmet a Smile curled her Lips. That had been Fun. Sarah McKenzie pointed at the two Women. And Agnetha´s People set to Work.
Quickly Jenna and Olga were stripped down to their Bra- and Panties. The Briton blue, the Russian black. Agnetha´s Women gagged the unlucky Duo with each other’s Socks and large Ball Gags on Top. A large array of Zipties held them in very tight Hogties.
Natasha checked: Toes zipped together, tied back to their Elbows. Tight Crotch Zips “Well done!†The Russian thought.
No Word had been spoken. The Canadian had secured the Keycard which would unlock the Gate. She looked at her Watch. Now would be Time if everything went according to Plan. A smile crossed her Face “You have always been a bit too full of yourself Cersei! Did you really think we would not find you?â€
Showtime! Any Minute now!
Around the same Time: The Control Room:
“This is so boring!†Francine pointed at the many Screens in front of them. Each Camera showed a different Part of the Complex. Everything was quiet “We could have so much fun!†The French sighed.
Her Friend and Partner Maya smiled. The tall blonde Dane had propped her bare feet at the Command Console and munched some Popcorn “We will have later!†She smiled “I have something to show you!†Lazily Maya opened one, two buttons of her Blouse …â€You like what you see?†Francine loved that husky alto Voice!
“I do†the petite Blonde whispered and leered at her Lovers full Breasts “After the Shift! I ravish you!â€
“So†Maya smiled “Will you?†She smiled coyly and opened the third Button of her Blouse. She wore no Bra …
Outside:
Alecto counted down: Three Fingers, one went down. Two Fingers. The next Finger. The last. Agnetha Ohlson kicked the Door in and charged into the Room. The two Guards whirled around. Eyes wide with Shock.
Francine stared at the two Attackers: One tall, one petite and lithe. Both aimed at them with evil-looking Handguns “Those look strange!†The French thought. The Assailants pulled the Trigger simultaneously.
Francine felt a sharp Pain. Then nothing. Just Blackness. Quickly Agnetha and Alecto said to work … 10 Minutes later Alecto looked down at the Floor. An evil smile curled her Lips: The French and the Dane lay hogtied and gagged on the Floor. Stripped, their Boobs squashed together. Crotch roped with Zipties. Blindfolded.
Agnetha´s Hands flew over the Keyboard. The Swede smiled as she watched at one Camera Feed “Cersei is having fun!†“Not long anymore!†Alecto replied grimly “I inform Natasha and Sarah!â€
Kate´s Cell:
Kate slept fitfully. She threw herself from one side to the other. Fighting her Covers, as if she was wrestling with Hulk Hogan. After “Dinner†her Captors had left her to her own Devices – for which she was grateful for. Her Body hurt still in too many Places.
The most comfortable Position had been lying on her back. Kate stared at the concrete Ceiling. She had discovered her Handlers had obviously bathed and washed her after her Encounter with the Leviathan and put fresh grey silken PJs on her.
Sleep escaped her for a long Time. The Brunette was exhausted in Body in Mind. Her rational Brain told her “You have to conserve your Strength. You do not know, what Tomorrow will bring†“No†Kate agreed I don´t – but I am just too wired up to rest.â€
“Castle†she sighed – and a small smile curled her Lips “You would jump on the next Flight if you knew something had happened to me. And you would like the Tale of Leviathan!†Kate sighed “I will have to tell you all about it I fear – if I get out of this hellhole!â€
Thinking of Castle calmed her somewhat. She visited her Mind Palace. Chris had her taught that Technique as well “Boy! How I hated Castle when the Mayor forced me to take him along first!†Slowly she drifted away …. Her Rest was not deep though …. Today´s Events haunted her still. Hence the Struggling.
Kate had no Idea what Time it was. Midnight? Earlier? Later? Something had woken her up. She did not know what. It was a feeling. Suddenly Kate was wide awake, she pulled the Covers aside, sat up, suppressed a Groan, and put her bare feet on the Floor. There was nothing she could use as a Weapon ….
Kate stood and faced the Door. Readied herself. She listened intently. Someone was outside the Door! But who? Her Handlers would have opened the Door without Hesitation … The Door flew open.
The sudden Brightness hurt her Eyes. Two black Shadows stepped into the Cell. One pressed a Button on a Tablet? The Light went on. Kate blinked. Two Women, clad in Body armour, wearing full Vizor Helmets. Both carried Automatic Rifles. Both were tall and athletic. And now Kate was sure. She knew them …
“You have come for me!†She whispered.
Kate could hear Sarah McKenzie smiling “Of course Doofus. We couldn´t just let you rot here – what would Castle say? What would Chris say? She almost jumped the next Flight when she learned about your latest Adventure!â€
Kate crossed the Distance and hugged the Masterthief “Thank you ….†She winced. The Canadian broke the Hug and looked at her intently “You are okay? We watched you know …†Kate chuckled mirthlessly “You did? I should have known!â€
The American stood straight “You have something else for me to wear? And a Gun?â€
“I thought you would never ask!†Natasha Bolkonskaya chuckled “We have!†The Russian looked her up and down “These PJs do look good on you though!†Kate ignored her, she knew Natasha – and she was grateful: “Get me a Gun!†She smiled “And something to wear!â€
“We will! Natasha smiled.
Upstairs: Cersei´s Quarters
Cersei smiled. Her Eyes bright. She raised her Goblet and clinked Glasses. Everything was perfect “Alecto! I got you!â€
Had the Villainess known what transpired below ….
She might have been less cocky ….
Downstairs:
Kate had donned the black Combat Boots, the black Body armour “This is better†she smiled, stretched, and winced. The Black Lady said nothing. She had watched as the Detective had undressed:
The Leviathan´s Embrace had left deep Marks on her fair Skin as had the cruelly tight Bonds. From her Ankles upwards. Even the Gag´s Marks had not entirely faded. But the Thief sensed the steely resolve. Kate Beckett was hellbent on visiting Payback on her Tormentors.
Sarah McKenzie watched as Kate adjusted her Combat Gear: Her Combat Knife. The heavy HK 23 Handgun – and the HK 416 Assault Rifle. Beckett shouldered her Gun stood straight and faced the Canadian with her keen grey Eyes:
“Let´s go!†and strode out of her Cell – with purposeful long Strides.
Sarah smiled at Natasha and Agnetha´s Guards “You heard the Lady! Let´s go! We do not want to miss the Party!â€
