Walter heard the door slam. He knew something was up. He grabbed his 
pants and shoved them on, not bothering to zip or button them. He 
pulled open the door just in time to see Alex, wearing nothing but an 
overly large leather jacket while a big goon hovered over him, enter 
a stretch limo. 

"Shit!" he cursed, wondering suddenly if Alex had planned this all 
along. 'But that did not make any sense at all!' he fumed to himself. 

The limo screeched out of the parking lot and Walter saw the license 
plate- Rico1. 

"How original of the man," snorted Walter as he closed the door, 
trying to figure out the best plan of action. He called the local 
sheriff's office and told them to keep tabs on the limo, revealing 
himself as an FBI AD and telling the sheriff that he was in the 
middle of a high stakes case. At least with the local law enforcement 
notified, maybe he could keep tabs on the vehicle at least. He sighed 
to himself, trying to calm his jumbly nerves before picking up the 
phone again to call his friend and tell him that he wouldn't be 
coming after all. No point in getting Hank involved. He put his head 
down, dreading making the next call. He shook himself then dialed 
Fox's office number.   

"Fox Mulder," came the familiar voice over the phone.

"Baby, I - I am sorry. Alex is gone..."

"I thought you were going to be with him before he took off."

"No, uh, it seems that Rico character is smarter than he seems. He 
has taken Alex right out from under me."

"What!?"

"I know, baby, calm down. I blame myself. We should have been more 
careful."

"How'd it happen?"

"I was asleep. Alex answered the door, thinking it was just the 
cleaning lady. Obviously it was one of Rico's goons. I think Alex 
must have went voluntarily, hoping not to involve me in a scuffle."

"Are you sure he went voluntarily?"

"Yes, I am sure I would have heard something and I watched as Alex 
entered the limo with Rico's name emblazoned on the license plate."

"Damn! I have seen that limo before. Was it white?"

"No, this one was black. I don't even think it has traveled as far as 
we have by what I could see of it."

"He probably has connections all over. I don't get it, unless your 
place is bugged."

"Oh damn, I usually have it checked once a month. You don't think 
Alex..."

"Oh no, not - I hope not! Not Alex!"

Walter sighed in relief. "I was so afraid that maybe he had set me up 
but I couldn't figure out why."

*****

Alex was taken to a ranch just outside of town. There were horses and 
cattle in the distance. He couldn't wrap his mind around Rico owning 
a ranch, cattle and all. He always seemed to Alex to be a typical big 
city goon. Suddenly a dark premonition loomed over his thoughts. 'No 
please, not Walter's buddy!' he moaned to himself. The driver drove 
right up to the large mansion-like house and Big Jim opened the door. 

"C'mon, princess, Rico doesn't like to be kept waiting."

Alex dreaded walking into the house, afraid he might see something 
that he really didn't want to see. Big Jim opened the door for him 
and that sent a shiver of nervousness down his spine. There were 
family pictures all over the walls. Not a single picture had Rico in 
it or anyone resembling him. 'Oh no, please no,' he thought fearfully.

After a long walk down the entrance hall, there at the end was Rico 
sitting at a lavish table spread with all sorts of food. It looked 
like Rico was celebrating Thanksgiving or something. 

Rico rose and shook his head at Alex who immediately dropped his head 
in his usual sub position.

"I don't know what I shall do with you, Beauty." Alex flinched at the 
moniker. Big Jim would have a field day when they were alone again. 

"Big, you may leave us," Rico ordered. Alex wondered if it was for 
his sake, but he doubted it.

"Assume the position!" Rico barked once Jim had left. 

Alex flung the overly large jacket off that Jim had given him to wear 
and kneeled down on all fours, jutting his ass out for Rico's 
inspection. 

Rico pried his ass cheeks apart and ran his tongue along Alex's hole 
which spasmed in response. 

"Keeping yourself for me, Beauty? You are as sweet as always. I can't 
imagine Walter likes to bottom. Does your big strong AD man like 
head? You are quite amazing at that."

Alex knew better than respond to Rico.  He was also very grateful 
that Walter had wanted him to top last night. 

"This is far too white, my beauty. I will definitely have to fix 
that," Rico sighed, running his hand down Alex's rear. Alex hated 
that his body automatically responded to Rico's attentions. 

"So responsive, this is why I would never wish you to leave me, 
Beauty. And this time, you won't be able to. I promise you that."

Alex did not reveal any fear or anger, though both flooded him. He 
wondered when Rico would talk about punishment.

"You will never be allowed to visit that Fox man again, unless 
ordered to do so. I have informed CSM of your silly flight and he was 
quite amused. Luckily he told me I could see to your punishment on my 
own, for now."

That sent a shiver of fear down him more than anything said before. 
He would much prefer Rico's punishments to CSM's any day. 

"Looks like we are in for a treat tonight. Hank has graciously 
offered his play room to us for the night." 

Alex froze hearing Walter's friend's name so glibly spoken by Rico. 

"Do not worry yourself, Beauty, Hank will never reveal what goes on 
in his play room. He is quite agreeable. I don't really think that AD 
man  of yours really knows his old buddy as he used to."

Tears fell from his eyes onto the carpeted floor, the only thing that 
revealed Alex's emotions over learning that the consortium had 
corrupted another family so thoroughly.

*****

Walter hung up the phone and sighed, wondering if the best plan was 
to wait to hear from the local law enforcement, or if it might be 
better to try and find Alex right away, while the trail was still 
fresh. He was debating calling on his buddy to spend the night at his 
ranch and checking out of the motel room, or just leaving after the 
officer called him back, when the phone interrupted his thoughts. 

"Skinner," he barked into it, forgetting for a moment that he wasn't 
in his office. 

"Sir, are you Assistant Director Walter Skinner of the FBI?" asked a 
thick southern voice on the other end of the line. 

"Yes," Walter answered impatiently, gripping the receiver tightly and 
fighting off the urge to find the owner of that slow drawl and beat 
him until he spoke quicker.

"Sir, I was informed just recently of this kidnapping you are 
investigating and-"

"Look, I don't know who you are, but I did not mention anything about 
a kidnapping to Sheriff Dobbs. Who are you?" Walter's voice was 
getting thick with anger and frustration as he interrupted the 
person. 

"Sorry sir, I should have introduced myself. I am Ranger Stevens. 
Sheriff Dobbs contacted me about the vehicle you requested to have 
tailed. I have been informed that a local rancher, a Mister Hank 
Samuels, owns the vehicle in question. Very well known man, sir. I 
cannot imagine he would do any harm to anyone. He is a well-respected 
man, sir. Especially 'round these parts."

Walter was flabbergasted. This Ranger was talking about his friend 
being a part of the group of people associated with that smoking man 
who visited his office too often for comfort. He couldn't believe it- 
he didn't want to believe it.

"Sir, are you sure you want this matter investigated further?" The 
Ranger's voice broke into his reverie and he sighed and shook his 
head.

"That's OK, Ranger. Thanks for informing me of the vehicle's 
ownership. That will be all." With that he hung up and stared at the 
phone, realizing he had finished the phone call sounding suspiciously 
like he did the first time he'd told Mulder to get out of his office. 
It had to be shock that had transformed him into that order-snapping 
marine.

His old friend, Hank, a part of the Consortium? He didn't want to 
believe it. Something wasn't making sense-actually a whole lot of 
somethings, but he'd start with the phone call-there was something 
not quite right about the whole conversation. He was certain he had 
not mentioned kidnapping to the Sheriff. He dialed the local police 
department and asked for Sheriff Dobbs. The dispatcher there informed 
him that there was no Sheriff Dobbs working at this department. He 
listened to the lady in amazement as she stated that their Sheriff's 
name was Jones. She asked if he would like to speak to him, and 
Walter was sure he could hear the eye rolling "why do I get all the 
nuts" in her voice. Walter put his hand to his forehead in 
frustration and replied, "No thank you, I must have the wrong number."

He hung up and couldn't believe it. 'Was the whole thing, the whole 
day, a fantasy?' he wondered, massaging his aching temples. Was he 
going out of his mind? He realized it was already late afternoon, and 
he hadn't eaten a thing all day. As if in agreement with him, his 
stomach let out a low rumble.

He suddenly spied Krycek's prosthetic arm in one corner of the room 
along with a pile of clothes, and he felt like crying as he realized 
he could still smell Alex in the room, dispelling the fantasy theory 
completely, and making him worry even more. Sweet Alex was in the 
clutches of Rico and that organization again and he seriously doubted 
that, alone, he could do much about it. He had to call his buddy one 
more time, though, and find out if it was true. He didn't want to 
believe that someone he trusted, someone he called friend, would 
become a part of anything like the Consortium. 

A deep voice answered the phone, alarming him immediately. It wasn't 
anyone he recognized.

"May I speak to Hank Samuels?" he asked through clenched teeth.

"Sorry, buddy, you must have the wrong number." Then abruptly he 
heard a dial tone.

"Oh god!" he groaned aloud. He couldn't believe it. He had to go down 
to the ranch himself to see. He wouldn't believe it unless he 
actually saw it for himself. His stomach growled again and he 
admonished it silently, thinking he would eat after he got to the 
bottom of this-if he could stomach it. 

He pulled on the shirt he had taken off last night and locked up the 
motel room. Pulling the cell phone hidden in his vehicle, he started 
up the car and dialed Mulder's office. No one answered so he called 
his apartment, hoping that Mulder had come home earlier than usual. 
He got the answering machine. He sighed and hung up the phone. He 
would just have to call him later, hopefully when he had more answers 
than questions. He drove away from the motel and followed the route 
to his old buddy's ranch that was ingrained in his memory. A short 
fifteen-minute drive brought him to the outskirts of town and the 
familiar dirt road that lead to his friend's ranch. He slammed on the 
brakes. There was a large gate blocking the road. He stared in 
amazement at the roadblock, glaring wordlessly, as if his sheer gaze 
could fathom the reason for it being there. He had a nasty suspicion 
that he knew the answer and it wasn't pretty. 

*****

Alex was tied down over a whipping horse, spread-eagle, and dimly 
grateful for the leather padding, thinking how much more 
uncomfortable he could be. Rico had stepped out earlier and left him 
alone and wondering if he would ever see Fox or Walter again. He 
doubted it. Rico would not allow him to be near Fox again, unless 
otherwise instructed, and he certainly didn't think those 
instructions would be forthcoming any time soon.

Alex shivered involuntarily when he heard the door open and he 
recognized the smell of Rico's cologne, mingling with the man's very 
unique scent. 
 
"Jim informs me that you haven't eaten. You will be fed, but later, 
after I am through with you. I want your strength up for what I have 
planned for you, my Beauty." Alex didn't like the sound of that but 
at the same time he was marginally curious.  He recognized the 
combination of fear and arousal he felt, knowing it from a hundred 
different situations, and all of them similar enough that his body 
and mind had become conditioned to it's responses. Only with Fox and 
Walter had he felt like he owned his emotions, and they hadn't scared 
him, or disgusted him. But now, with Rico, and even more so with 
Walter's friend, he felt all the despised training coming back to 
him. 

When he had seen Hank Samuels earlier, showing Rico the playroom and 
all the devices and toys, Alex had immediately noticed how large Hank 
was. He was taller than Rico, and wider. He looked like he could 
easily have been Full Back to Rico's Linebacker, and the man's sheer 
bulk made Alex grateful that Rico didn't let anyone else play with 
his subs. He began to wonder just what Rico was planning. He was 
partially fearful and partially aroused by his thoughts. Rico had 
rarely hurt him or left him to suffer for long in the past, but then, 
Alex had never tried to leave him before.  He had a sudden unexpected 
memory of being locked up in complete darkness, and he shuddered. It 
was his greatest vulnerability, and Rico knew it. Ever since that 
silo...he paid attention to Rico's voice again, hoping to distract 
his own thoughts.

"You must be thirsty. Drink, my Beauty." Rico set a bowl of water 
down for Alex to reach with his mouth. This was nothing new to Alex. 
Rico had even fed him out of bowls before when he was similarly bound 
up. Alex quickly drank from the bowl.

"You are surprisingly cooperative, Beauty. I am curious. Did your AD 
train you?"

"No, Master," came Alex's quick reply. He hated having to call 
Rico "Master," but seemed unable to change that. He had almost 
forgotten that there had been a time when they were lovers instead of 
sub and Dom. That man Alex had met not so long ago seemed to have 
been completely taken over by this Dom of a man who never allowed for 
any slips of position or character. Alex always felt like a rabbit in 
an open field whenever Rico entered the room, all senses twitching 
and alert at the same time, which always exhausted him. Alex was sure 
Rico was fully aware of this and played that knowledge to his 
advantage. 

"Hmm. Well, he must have done something to keep you so well behaved. 
I wonder if I should thank him for that?"

Alex did not respond, recognizing one of Rico's rhetorical questions. 

"This AD of yours is a very forthright man, Hank informs me. I am 
almost jealous."

Alex tensed up, waiting for what he knew would be next. He had been 
paddled earlier and spanked with a belt, but not penetrated. Alex was 
a bit surprised that Rico hadn't fucked him, but he knew that Rico 
was probably angry with him, not just for trying to leave, but also 
for making him look bad. Despite his fear, Alex had responded the way 
Rico liked, and he had not done anything further to his 'Beauty' at 
that time, merely left him to his own thoughts. Alex knew that it was 
a false hope to believe Rico was finished with him.

As if reading his mind, Rico reached over and pulled Alex's head up 
by his hair.

"After I am through with you, my Beauty, you will never think of your 
AD or your Fox ever again!" 

With that Rico bent and kissed Alex roughly on the mouth.
