My Captor, My Tormentor, My Love

Chapter 1: The Plan

Nick had called an emergency meeting and the whole team was now gathered together in their usual meeting room at the station. Sean and Nick along with Matt, Bob, Craig, Mike, Chris and Ben were all seated around the large conference table discussing their strategy plan. Nick was making sure to go over all the details of the plan with them, both major and minor, so there would be no margin for error. Since his promotion to Sergeant, Nick had never lost a fellow team member under his watch and he didn't plan to break that winning streak while on this assignment. He didn't know why but he had a very bad feeling that something horrible was going to go down tonight. As the meeting was wrapping up, Nick decided to look over for one last time the diagram plans of Dark Enchantment that had been drawn up for them. 

"Is something wrong Nick?" Sean asked in concern, wondering why he was double checking something they had already been over. It just wasn't like him.

Nick tossed them back onto the table and leaned back in his chair putting his arms behind his head. With a relaxed smile, he told his friend. 

"No. Everything is good. I just wanted to double check something that's all."

Looking around the table, Nick strategically changed the subject and started shooting out questions to his men.

“Are all the ear and microphones working properly?” Nick asked Mike the Technical expert on the team.

“Trust me, as good as they ever will be Sarge” Mike answered.

“What about the surveillance equipment Chris?”

“I upgraded and tested it last week, everything is fully operational and functional.” came the response from Chris.

“Weapons still working properly Craig?”

“I am not the Ammunition expert for nothing, you know.” was the cocky reply from Craig.

He finally looked over at Ben, Matt and Bob his additional backup who were fully qualified in Martial Arts training. They were large, muscular and fit men who had fought by his side in many a situation. The three men taught defensive and combative training at the Police Academy.

Nick called the meeting to an end by saying, “OK team, everything is in order and we know the game plan. Let's get ready to go kick some drug dealing ass. Good luck everyone and please try to remember not to take any unnecessary chances. I know I don’t have to remind all of you to watch out for each other and keep your backs covered. We will get this job finished and come back home together.”

They all stood up and shook hands before heading off to their respective role duties. Nick headed for the men’s room to change along with Sean, Ben, Matt and Bob. They would be dressing for the occasion in style. Dark Enchantment may be a drug dealing den, but it also housed various other types of criminals, and they all had to look the part or their cover would be blown. Ten minutes later, they all stepped out of their individual stalls and were appraising each other.

“Holy Shit Nick, I never knew you were such a looker”, Ben wolf whistled at him.

Trying to refrain from laughing out of respect for their superior, but failing miserably, the others instead tried not making eye contact with Nick.

“Ha, ha, ha, very funny jack ass." Nick mumbled back.

Nick had never been as self-conscious as he was at this moment. Come on Nick, he told himself, you only have to keep up this act for as long as it takes to nail those sick bastards. Nick glanced over at the mirror above the sink, he was dressed in tight fitting brown leather pants that clung low on his hips and accentuated his slim frame and buttocks. He was wearing a dark blue body hugging tank top that was cut mid-drift to the middle and showed off his sleek muscles and abs. He sported a small tattoo on his back left shoulder in the shape of a Celtic cross. His blue eyes were outlined in kohl and seemed even larger than usual. A pair of black biking boots on his small feet completed the outfit. His image appeared to be that of a young man out on the town for a night of adventure with his friends. With his lean body and dark good looks, he made the appearance of being an innocent about to enter the lion’s den. If only he was aware of what would happen, then maybe he would have done things differently but unknown to him fate had already been set in motion.
