Three unmarked Mercedes vans quietly parked at the front gate of Chateau de Michel de Montaigne just east of Bordeaux France. Inside was a joint task force made up of FBI and Interpol agents. The team was made agents specializing in breaching dwellings, surveillance, and hostage recovery and counseling. Their goal, to rescue one FBI agent, one Interpol agent and at least twelve young women who had been abducted over the past year. The suspected kidnapper was Maxine Demerov, the owner of a large number of fur salons, and has seemed to amass a large fortune beyond the scope of a fur retailer.
Over a year earlier, FBI agent Chris Franklin went missing while on vacation in France. It was believed that he was looking for his sister who went missing as well, six months prior to that. When he did not return, Interpol was contacted, and an investigation was started. The Chateau was being investigated by agent Suzanne Lee, who was based out of the Paris office and a liaison to the Chinese government went out to investigate.
She often took assignments where she broke into suspect locations and planted recording devices as well as obtained sensitive data from computers and files. On that night, Lee went missing Interpol received an email with files from her containing Demerov's financial records, an encrypted file with names of customers, and surveillance footage from the night that FBI agent Franklin was disappeared. As well as body worn camera footage that Franklin had been wearing.
The records showed millions of dollars in transactions taken in by this facility each month and yearly amount was staggering. The surveillance footage showed Franklin breaking into a wing of the building. Going down a corridor with fourteen doors. From the footage, ten of the rooms appeared to be single rooms and four appeared to be rooms that were double rooms with a door between them.
Each room was decorated differently and had a beautiful young woman inside wearing furs. In the last room he checked, Franklin found his sister. Soon after it showed an alarm going off, all of the women awakening and rushing the room. The footage stops after that, and no one knows what happened to him.
The only positive is that using the footage provided a layout of a good portion of the building and through the use of facial recognition software, most of the women in the video were able to be identified. Now it was time to get them all back.
The raid was being led on the Interpol side by Veronique LeBeau, the head of Counterintelligence. She was there as a favor to the US government so that their people could operate on foreign soil. For the FBI it was the head of the Criminal Investigation Division Charles Andreson who planned to find and apprehend Demerov himself. One of their people had gone missing and he was taking this personally. The go order was given, and the teams moved to their locations.
The first van held group B which consisted of 4 FBI SWAT members and Group C which contained 4 Interpol Incident Response Team members. Both headed around the sides of the building to contain anyone trying to escape and then make entry through the basement and rear entrances. Van two held most of group A which consisted of 8 members of the Interpol hostage recovery and counseling team. Each assigned to a room with an international kidnapping victim. The final van held 4 members of the FBI hostage recovery team, as well as the FBI and Interpol team leaders. These groups formed up and headed to the front door to gain entry and rescue victims.
Left in the final van was Martin Jordan, a cyber analyst who was in charge of remotely deactivating the security as well as surveillance to assist the teams. He linked directly into the feed for security cameras, created a dead spot to hide the vans and is monitoring the feed from inside the building so that he can relay to each of the teams.
All groups reported that they had reached their entrance door and the order was given for group A, which was the largest group to proceed. Security was deactivated, the front door lock was picked open, and the agents quickly entered the chateau. The team leaders headed to the office and then through a door to what is believed to be the residence level and the hostage recovery group turning right to the private suites and entering that wing. Anderson headed right for the office and LeBeau followed.
As group A moved quickly down the hall to the door in which they were assigned, each member of the team notice a sweet smell of perfume in the air. pleasurable to the senses, maybe even a little erotic, which makes sense since the footage showed what looked to be a brothel in this wing.
Group A finally reported that they were all at their secondary locations and the command to enter all doors was given.
While the agents stormed the building, Maxine Demerov sat at the desk of her private study on the second floor of the chateau. Sipping champagne, wearing nothing but an oversized fur coat and relaxing while she watched the men and women that she would soon turn into her mindless drones. The feel of the warm soft fur against her skin on heightened her senses as she watched all the action unfold on the monitors on her viewing display that were relaying the security footage. She could not wait to have some fun with her would be captors and show them all the pleasures for fur and servitude to her.
As she prepared for what was to come, she saw Anderson and LeBeau on one of the monitors enter through her office and up the stairs to her second-floor residence. As they reached the top of the stairs, they both slowed to check for any threats in the hall before they made entry to through upstairs where they hoped to find Demerov. The pair approached the door outside the upstairs study quickly. Anderson was about to put a shoulder into the door when he heard a voice.
"It's open." she coyly spoke as she called through the door. Anderson stopped his advance, slowly turned the doorknob, and cautiously entered the room. The smell of perfume filled their nostrils as they entered the room, both agents felt a little light-headed and aroused at the same time. The large study was decorated lavishly and had fresh flowers everywhere. Lilacs, Hyacinth, and Roses. Demerov sat behind a large desk and off to the side there was a sitting area in front of a stone fireplace. The lights were dim and soft ambient music played in the background.
"Ah Agent Anderson, a pleasure to finally meet you. Agent LeBeau, good to see you again, what a nice surprise. I was not expecting company tonight, but guests are always welcome." Anderson cautiously entered the room with his weapon pointed at Demerov, wondering how she knew his name and how had she and LeBeau met before. She was a stunning woman, with long brown hair and captivating hazel eyes. She was wearing a full-length sable fur coat and had her feet up on the desk with her legs crossed. She had let her coat fall open, showing off her long legs and stiletto heels. She twirled a small crystal in her fingers attached to a chain around her neck. Anderson caught himself staring for a moment wondering if it was her that smelled so wonderful but then refocused on the task at hand.
"Hands up Demerov, we are here to take you into custody and to recover the agents you abducted." Anderson began to advance across the study, LeBeau however was lagging behind. She began to breath heavily and had to steady herself in the doorframe. There was an audible thud as she dropped her handgun to the floor. Anderson turned and saw a woman with a mixture of dread and arousal on her face as she starred at the crystal in Demerov's hand.
"Where are my manners?" Demerov ignored LeBeau, as well as Anderson's commands and began to walk to the wet bar. "Would you like a brandy, or perhaps some of your American whisky? I must confess that I have a taste for it myself" She poured a drink from a glass decanter and offered it to Anderson. All the while twirling the crystal in her free hand.
