This is a sequel to "The Redhead in the Killer Kollar". It stands on its own, but makes a lot more sense if you have read that first. I don't normally write sequels, but several public and private messages indicated that many of you thought I left too many threads hanging in The Redhead. So, I decided to wrap a lot of them up in this story.
This is primarily an erotic bdsm detective story / murder mystery though it probably belongs best in reluctant or non-consent. It might be a bit heavy or extreme for some tastes, so be warned before you start. If The Redhead in the Killer Kollar was at your limits, this is beyond them. There is NO snuff stuff, but one FBI agent gets killed in a rather gruesome way early on in the story. I don't normally have deaths in my stories, so I want to be explicit about that in advance.

Everyone gets a little nervous when the lights of a police cruiser go on behind them. So do I. But when it's after dark and I know that I haven't done anything illegal, I get more than a little nervous. In fact, my pucker string pulls all the way tight. It could be nothing... or it could be a setup.
A fake police car is the perfect trap that can be sprung almost anywhere dark and remote-- like the section of rural road I was now on. In compliance with the ridiculous concealed carry laws in this state, my Glock was secured in a gun safe hidden in the glove compartment. That requirement is in case I might accidentally drive past a school or playground or hospital or public park or whatever. It only takes a second to get my weapon out, but if I get it out and it is a real cop pulling me over, I risk being shot... or worse, I risk shooting a real police officer who panics and decides to go all Dirty Harry on me because he sees a gun.
If I don't get out my weapon and it isn't a real cop, I'm defenseless against attack... well, not defenseless. I have a an old-fashioned Maglite 3-cell flashlight that sits alongside the seat. It's legal in all 50 states as a flashlight and if I happen to swing it in panic when someone attacks me, then it is only an accident that it happens to have the force of a weighted club.
I decided that I would-- as usual-- wait him out. I never speak first when the law is involved. It gives too much away. Let them be the ones who tip their hand. If things went south in a hurry the window glass wouldn't be of any protection, but the six layers of Kevlar woven with steel and aluminum in the door panel would stop almost anything that came out of a holster. At least they haven't made it illegal to put lightweight armor in your car... yet.
I pulled over onto a wide spot on the side of the road, leaned slightly down into the car, and waited. Like I said, it was a pucker factor five situation.
What happened next surprised me. The cruiser pulled past me and parked in front with its lights still flashing. A black, unmarked SUV with concealed flashers pulled up about a car length behind me. I couldn't see what was happening back there, but the officer in front of me slowly got out of his car and held his hands up and out from his body with his palms toward me and his fingers spread. He then stood in the light from my headlights and turned slowly around, pausing only to make sure that I could see that his gun was strapped securely in his holster. After all of that, he walked over to my driver's side door and held his thumb and forefinger a short distance apart while at the same time indicating with his other hand that I should lower my window. I rolled it down about an inch and waited.
"Mister W," he said softly as he leaned in toward the car, "she said that I should approach you very carefully." He laughed and added, "In fact, she said I should approach you like you were me in a car being pulled over at night for no reason."
"I think I'm going to like you, Officer..." I said rolling my hand.
"Reynolds," he answered, "Bill Reynolds. And the woman who wants to talk to you is Lacy McGrath." He pointed back at the black SUV and said, "She says she's sorry about this farce, but this meeting has to be in secret. There's a mole in their task force."
He pointed again to the black SUV and then made a sweeping gesture with his hands like he was welcoming me into the best restaurant in town. I took a very deep breath and got out of my car. Lacy McGrath was the head of the FBI task force looking for the Master of the Kollar. As I walked back to the unmarked police car, the marked cruiser switched off its light bar and sped away. I walked all the way around the heavy SUV and came back up on the passenger side. The plates were civilian, but there was a small motor pool ID tag at the bottom of the rear tailgate indicating that it was a government vehicle. That reassured me a little... but not much. I tapped nervously on the heavily-tinted front window on the passenger side of the car. Nothing happened at first, then the back window rolled slowly down.
"Back here," a feminine voice said.
I was pretty sure that I recognized the voice as Lacy's, but to make sure I called out softly, "Marco..."
After a moment, the feminine voice answered, "Roni."
It was a joke between us dating from several years back when we had gotten finagled into a long stakeout / manhunt together out in the Arizona desert. What happened there and why I was helping the FBI track someone down is for another time, but a lot of things can happen when you spend almost a month with someone out in the middle of nowhere. One of the things I found out about Lacy-- other than the fact that she is perpetually horny-- is that she had never played Marco Polo as a child, but remarkably had an internet friend by the name of Marco Roni. We were walking through some gullies at night and I lost track of her. I softly called out, "Marco," and she answered "Roni." It was the first thing to pop into her mind and to me it sounded like she was completing macaroni. Luckily there was no one around to hear us laughing ourselves silly. After that, it was a fairly regular way of breaking the monotony.
I opened the door and got in. Her eyes said it all. They were wide and frantic as she said in a very soft voice, "We've got a mole in our taskforce." She took my hand and her voice almost cracked. "We've all been walking around with our backs to the wall the past couple of days scared to death that someone is going to slip one of those Kollars around our necks."
"That sounds a little extreme," I said flatly. She opened the computer in her lap and turned it so I could see the screen. There was a video queued up. Two naked people stirred groggily on the floor. Both were wearing Volkov Kollars.
"These are my lead agents," Lacy said flatly. Then even more flatly, she added, "... were." After a breath to collect herself, she explained, "Four days ago Agent Ramon Sanchez sent me a late evening text saying that he thought he was close to the Master of the Kollar. He said that by morning he would know for sure... or be dead. I got this video in an email the next day."
A voice on the video said, "I think Senior Agent McGrath would like to see you fuck Agent Carter in the ass."
"Agent Julia Carter was assigned as Ramon's partner for the task force," Lacy said flatly. "Except for the fact that she's an extreme loner, she's been a good agent."
Ramon's voice came over the speakers, "You and I both know that's never going to happen, so you might as well pull the string or whatever and get this over with." He then raised his right hand toward the camera and gave the all-American one-finger salute.
