Kapustcha slapped his face. "Shut up, Whore!" Krycek tried to bring his hand up to protect his face, but Kapustcha had grabbed it, was pulling on it, prying him free of the suitcase. "I'm not a whore any more!" he cried as the suitcase tipped over and he spilled out. He groaned as his legs unfurled for the first time in ten hours. His skin was reddened and damp from laying in his own urine. He had to agree that he needed a bath. "You *are* a whore. A whore and a cum slut!" Kapustcha retorted. "A cum slut and a toilet so filthy it needs to be scrubbed and disinfected before it's fit to use!" Krycek bowed his head, not resisting, but not helping Kapustcha drag him to the shower stall. It had wooden slats, a single showerhead, and no walls, just a wooden frame to hold the water pipe, with its gate valve and diverter handle, upright. The frame itself was tacked onto the wooden platform. Crude, but effective. He realized he'd seen it before. Kapustcha's equipment bag was already sitting to one side of the platform, opened and waiting. The shower pipes screeched. The taps protesting as if they hadn't been used in years. Considering that Jeraldine Kallenchuk had been assassinated in Hong Kong five years ago, Krycek thought, that probably wasn't far off the mark. The first water out of the showerhead was as brown as the sludge in the bottom of the suitcase. It cleared, but it didn't warm. Krycek tipped up his head and opened his mouth, drinking the water in as if it were the sweetest ambrosia. Kapustcha hadn't given him anything to eat or drink the entire time he'd been in the suitcase. Just facefuls of chloroform. That would change, soon enough, Alex knew. The reward for playing along was always a meal, usually delivered in bites like puppy training treats. Kapustcha took out a washcloth and anti-bacterial liquid soap in a pump bottle from his bag. He wet the cloth, soaped it up, and dropped it onto Krycek's head. "Clean yourself up." Krycek did as ordered. He knew Kapustcha was too disgusted with him to willingly touch him but, if he balked and forced Kapustcha to deal with his shit, he'd pay for it later. Besides, after so many hours in the suitcase, washing was a relief. In fact, if he knew Kapustcha, he'd be back in the suitcase soon enough. He wrinkled his nose at the thought. "Can...may I wash the suitcase out, too, Big Daddy?" Kapustcha smiled. His Little Whore knew he was going back in the suitcase at some point, too. Fine. It suited him to have the cunt clean out his own sty. He cuffed Krycek's wrist to the water pipe, and retrieved the suitcase, carefully retrieving the leather jacket with an index finger. He held it under the showerhead, then backed away and deliberately used Krycek's own switchblade to cut the jacket to ribbons. He cut loose the six public locker-type keys from the lining, then tossed the remnants aside. "We'll have to have a little talk about where the locks to these keys belong, won't we, Cunt?" he said as he released Krycek's restraints. Krycek, who had watched the destruction of his favorite possession, agreed politely and washed the suitcase out thoroughly. Kapustcha hung the suitcase up to dry. Krycek returned to cleaning himself up, careful with his tender, swollen balls, but no less thorough. When he was done, Kapustcha turned off the tap, lathered Krycek's freshly scrubbed legs up and shaved them. Then he cuffed Krycek's ankles to the frame and lathered up his back side and shaved it. Then he had Krycek kneel up so he could lather and shave his face, armpits, chest, and groin. Then he rinsed him off. As there were no second pipes here, he unscrewed the showerhead and fastened the hose in its place. "On your knees, chest to the floor." Krycek fell forward into position. Kapustcha wet the nozzle, stuck it into Krycek's ass unceremoniously, and turned the tap back on. He reached a hand under Krycek's abdomen and palpatated it until he was satisfied. "Fifteen minutes," he said, as he stepped off the platform. "I'll set out your make-up." Krycek snuffled, but didn't move. As luck would have it, he had managed to give himself a direct view of his ruined jacket. His stomach was aching. He hadn't had anything to eat all day, his bowels had pretty much cleaned themselves out, and, if things followed Kapustcha's usual pattern, dinner was a long way off, but he couldn't force himself to care. The jacket that had been his second skin, his safe, his bank, his attitude, and his only comfort for the last five years had been rended before his eyes into so much trash. He had lost the watch transmitter. He had lost the transmitter inside his prosthetic. He had even lost the prosthetic. Losing the jacket was the last straw. No one was coming to rescue him and, one handed, he had very little chance of saving himself. The worst part was knowing that he hadn't even had the presence of mind to search his jacket for weapons or tools to help his escape when he'd had the opportunity. Now it was well out of his reach, and beyond help or helping anyone but Kapustcha. That would teach him to panic. //You're going to die because you were too fucking sacred to use your brains. You're a worthless piece of shit. You deserve to die,// Krycek berated himself. He vaguely remembered Kapustcha gloating about how 'Chesterfield' had given him permission to teach Krycek a lesson in how to keep his nose out of matters that didn't concern him. This just before he'd given Krycek yet another snootful of knock-out drug. //I'm doomed. I'm going to die horribly, and no one will care. Mulder will probably hold a parade when he finds my lifeless body. Between him and his cancer-riddled 'Daddy Dearest,' they'll declare my death date a national holiday.// The thought made him smile. //Fuck a holi*day;* they'll have a Hate Krycek Month! Marita Covarrubias will petition the United Nations and make it the world's first Global Celebration. The French, Tunisians, and Russians will embarrass themselves by voting with the United States.// "Nobody likes me/ everybody hates me/ guess I'll eat some wor-er-erms," he sang softly to himself. "Long, slim, slimy ones/ short, fat, juicy ones/ itsy-bitsy, teeny-tiny worms." "What's that?" Krycek jerked with surprise. "Nu-nu-nothing, Big Daddy!" Kapustcha grabbed the hose and shoved it up till the nozzle hit the bowel wall. He could have jammed the hose itself up into the bowel, but the nozzle was rigid, and it would have punctured the bowel rather than make the turn into the colon. He shoved it in and out, in and out, bumping the colon every time, then he ripped the hose out. Krycek yelped, but didn't spill a drop. Kapustcha noted his control with amusement. After a suitably agonizing interval of watching Krycek's pucker tighten on its burden, he yelled: "Go!" Krycek let the enema water spew out. He could tell from the way it passed his anus that there were damn few solids amongst the fluid. His guts had been totally cleansed. Kapustcha brought up Krycek's garrote. He had looped the wire through one of the ring ends and looped the resulting noose over Krycek's head, pulling it to the point of tautness, like a choke collar. Then he released Krycek's ankle cuffs from the platform. "Time to get dressed." Krycek allowed himself to be yanked to his feet and walked to the desk that Kapustcha had moved out from Kallenchuk's office to serve as a vanity. There was a mirrored door from her private bathroom cabinet propped atop the desk, and the desk lamp was turned on. Makeup was laid out on the desktop, along with a wig-form and a wig that matched the color of Krycek's hair, a five gates of hell cock ring, and a couple of corsages, one for his wrist, the other for his bodice. The familiar red dress and stiletto heeled pumps and emerald green fishnet hose and garter belt and those funny underwear, a slip, and bra were draped over the desk chair. Kapustcha let go of the garrote noose in favor of an automatic pistol. The better to sit back and enjoy the show. Krycek put on the cock ring first. The first ring slipped over the base of his cock, the next three rings fit along his penis' shaft, while the fifth, (hence the name), ring snuggled the space right behind his glans. It wasn't a hardship to don slack, but once he had an erection, he'd feel like those rings were trying to tie his penis into five tiny sausage links. The underwear had a cloth ring that went around his genitals and pulled them back between his legs. His poor balls were so tender and swollen, he thought he'd die before he could get the cloth retainer around them, nevermind shifting them into position between his legs. The leather and steel of the cock ring prodding them didn't help matters, either. He donned the hose and garterbelt next, then the padded 'Wonder' bra that shoved up his breasts with half falsies and mushed them together so it looked like he had a more ample bosom. A silk slip went over that, then the red dress and heels. He sat down carefully, in the now empty chair without having to be told, his legs spread far apart so as not to aggravate his testes, so Kapustcha could apply his wig and make-up. Kapustcha cuffed Alex's ankle to the leg of the desk and set the gun on the table, across the 'dance floor' from the 'vanity' so he could use both hands. Alex got to view the results in the mirror before Kapustcha shut out the light. It wasn't as effective when his lips were swollen and his face bruised, but he still looked like a damned good-looking woman, to his un-ending rue. Then he was uncuffed and led by his garrote leash to the 'dance floor,' a cleared-out space in the middle of the warehouse. Kapustcha turned on a portable cassette player with the remote and in his pocket, and, with one finger wearing the other ring end of the garrote, he lead Alex in dance after dance. Krycek, trying not to crush his tender balls, tried to keep his legs as far apart as he could and still move to Kapustcha's cues, but only ended up waddling like a bow-legged cowpoke. He was equally careful to keep his painted face from smudging Kapustcha's clothing. Only whores laid their heads on their date's shoulders. He tried not to react as Kapustcha lifted up his skirt and ran his hand underneath the waistband of his underwear so he could rub his hand over the bareness of his groin. Then the hand roved back to his ass, and the treasure trove poking out from beyond his thighs. Krycek's balls were larger than usual. More noticeable for their abuse. They felt different, and Kapustcha found it oddly thrilling. His hand kept wandering from the exotic smoothness of Krycek's groin to the rounded mounds of abused flesh below his ass cheeks. Back and forth. Krycek bit down on his lower lip to keep from screaming his pain at having his swollen testicles fondled none too gently by strange fingers, but he daren't complain. He just concentrated on keeping up with his dance partner, which was hard to do with sore balls, only one arm, wearing those damned stiletto heels. He knew he was missing half Kapustcha's cues, and the fact that he was wallowing about like a pregnant cow only made matters worse. Kapustcha didn't fail to notice his clumsiness, either. He finally stepped back, throwing Krycek's hand down in disgust. "You're hopeless. Your deformity is ugly and it ruins the mood." "I'm sorry, Big Daddy," Krycek whimpered, and his head jerked down with Kapustcha's hand to keep from strangling himself. It made him look repentant. "I want to do well, I really do." He wasn't lying, either. For if he couldn't dance, the only activities left to them were sex and violence. "On your knees!" He tugged the leash down even further, and Krycek dropped to the floor. Kapustcha took the ring off and stomped to the table where he'd laid the gun. He picked it up, sat in one of the chairs, facing Krycek, and aimed the gun at him. "Stand up! Turn around! Now, strip!" "I can't tease you like before. Not with a missing arm," Krycek apologized as he struggled out of the red dress, slip, and bra, defiantly and deliberately clumsy and inelegant. "Garter belt, hose, underwear, and shoes, too!" Kapustcha ordered, to Alex's dismay. If he wanted Alex out of the fancy hose and pumps, Alex was due for some punishment. "Heel!" Kapustcha pointed to a spot between his legs. Krycek padded barefoot wearing only his cock ring and dropped to his knees in the designated spot. Kapustcha unzipped his fly and cocked the gun. "Suck me off. And no biting, or I'll shoot you." The idea of biting Kapustcha and getting it over with flitted over Krycek's mind, but Kapustcha was pointing the gun at his right biceps, not his head or heart. If he bit the man, at best he'd sever an artery and bleed to death; but it was more likely he'd only suffer a flesh wound that would render him temporarily incapable of using his arm. At worst, the bullet would shatter the bones in his arm so completely he'd be permanently maimed. Not that he'd live that long. The real problem with depending on a psycho to put him out of his misery was that, no matter what happened, Kapustcha would have an excuse to extend his suffering for as long as was humanly possible. Krycek reached up gingerly and pulled Kapustcha's penis out of his pants. It was short, thick, and uncut, with a sprinkling of curly, black hairs on the foreskin, a tiny, pinched looking glans, and a decided list to starboard. Nothing like the clean, circumcised missile Skinner was packing. It was the difference between a V-2 and a Saturn V, a butter grub and a moray eel. He ducked his head to hide his sudden smile, quickly smoothed his features then, face impassive, lapped the organ into his talented mouth. //First you bite their heads off/ then you suck their guts out/ oh, how they wiggle and squirm.../ short, fat, skanky ones/ soft, Vienna sausage ones/ limp and squishy, hairy, Polak worms!// he sang to himself. Completely flaccid when he drew it out, his careful licks, hums, and swallows had the organ twitching and swelling to attention in seconds. If anything, it only exaggerated the difference between the swollen shaft and tiny head. Krycek closed his eyes and bobbed up and down on his pink maggot treat. There wasn't quite enough of it to hit the back of his throat even fully engorged, so he was in no danger of suffocating, making Kapustcha's sudden thrusts unthreatening, but it was thick enough to make his jaws ache. Then Kapustcha was cumming. Alex swallowed every drop, then he pulled back and suckled and licked the slit till Kapustcha batted him away and tucked the fat worm of a penis back into his pants and carefully zipped it out of sight. "Make yourself hard." Alex spread his knees and rubbed his cockhead, which was about all that he could touch due to the five rings. He thought of Mulder and his cock stirred to life. "That's my Little Cum Slut," Kapustcha said almost endearingly. He traded the gun for the garrote ring again. Then he drew the second plate from across the table. "Keep yourself hard. Now, open wide." Alex, at first, allowed Kapustcha to feed him what he would. But, despite the enemas and going so long without a meal, five bites later he felt nauseous and turned away from the next forkful. Kapustcha absently followed his mouth like a mother trying to tempt her child into eating one more bite. Krycek turned his head the other way. Kapustcha snagged Alex's chin with his ring hand and pinched. "Don't you *dare defy me!" Krycek opened his mouth and accepted another bite. "Please, Big Daddy, I don't feel well. My stomach hurts and I'm tired. May I go to bed, please?" Krycek said softly. Kapustcha snorted. "I out-witted you, so now you're trying to manipulate me into giving you control again. Well, it won't work! You'll eat till I say otherwise! And if you have the temerity to throw up you'll lick your vomit off the floor!" He held up another forkful of food, which Krycek was quick to accept. "Please, Big Daddy," Krycek said a few bites later, rolling the latest morsel into his cheek to join the previous one, "I can't be what you want me to be. Not any more. Not without my arm. You said so yourself. I'm ugly. Off-balance. Clumsy. Couldn't you please just let me go?" "Let you go?!" Kapustcha roared. "Let you go?" He laughed till tears rolled down his cheeks. Then he snarled and swept his free arm over the tabletop. Food and dishes went flying. Kapustcha threw down his fork, drew off the garrote ring, grabbed Krycek with both hands, and threw him prone onto the table. "You've gotten me in trouble with my superiors again, and you *dare* suggest clemency? You're mine, Bitch!" He pried Alex's cheeks apart to expose the brown rose of his asshole, then bent down to retrieve the butter. He greased his arm, then Krycek's hole. Then, with no more preparation than that, he worked his fist into Krycek's rectum. Krycek screamed as his sphincter was rudely prodded, but tried to relax his muscles so Kapustcha wouldn't tear him too badly. The pain was intense enough to eclipse the ache of his balls. His delicate tissues burned under the determined assault, even as his sphincter ached at the preternatural stretching, and he drummed his legs in agony and screamed for all he was worth in order to express some measure of his despair. Finally, Kapustcha's hand pushed past the ring of muscle and flexed in the smooth warmth of Krycek's rectum. "Who do you belong to?" Kapustcha bellowed. "You, Big Daddy! You and Daddy! Big Daddy and Daddy own me! Only you! Nobody else!" Krycek cried as he panted to vent the pain. Kapustcha drew his fist back then rammed it up to the end of Krycek's colon. "How many men have claimed you like this?" "Only you, Big Daddy!" "How many men will ever claim you like this?" "Only you, Big Daddy!" "Up. Up! *UP!" Krycek struggled to his knees. "What are you?" "I'm your cunt. Your hole. Your bitch. Your whore." Kapustcha twisted his arm. "Your-- your puppet!" "Do puppet's have the right to say 'no'?" "No, Big Daddy." "Turn around!" Krycek, carefully pumped up and down as he twisted his body around a hundred eighty degrees on Kapustcha's fist. Once facing his tormentor, he kept his eyes down, head bowed. He shivered prettily, and it made his lashes flutter on his cheeks. His bitten lips were swollen and inviting. Kapustcha mashed his lips against Krycek's and fucked his mouth with his tongue. Krycek closed his eyes, not wanting the hatred in them to blazon out and capture Kapustcha's attention. "Fuck yourself on my arm," Kapustcha commanded. Krycek lifted his legs and shifted from his knees to his feet, then raised and lowered himself on Kapustcha's fist, now propped on the table by an elbow. "Faster. Harder." Krycek pumped and pumped till blood coated Kapustcha's arm. At that point, Kapustcha pushed him backwards. His back smacked the table top, but he did no more than steady himself with his hand, to ensure he didn't topple onto the floor. Kapustcha ran his fingers down one side of Krycek's rectum, not hard enough to rend the sensitive skin, but forcefully enough to force the piss out of him when he reached the pelvic floor and pressed down on the bladder. Then he yanked his hand out and slipped on the garrote 'collar.' "Heel, Cunt!" Krycek wobbled up and slid to the ground. He crawled after Kapustcha on hand and knees, following him across the room to the shower. He'd no more than climbed onto the slats than Kapustcha shoved the nozzle up his ass, rinsed him out, then shot a douche bulb's worth of medicated lotion up into the inflamed tunnel of flesh. Finally, he had Krycek fold himself up into the suitcase. It was only then he took off the noose/garrote. He zipped the spy up and locked the zipper in place. "'Let me go'," Kapustcha mimicked cruelly. He went back to the table and cleaned the mess up, carefully inventorying every piece of flatware. He wasn't about to allow his bitch to secrete a lethal weapon on the premises to use against him later. That duty done, he strolled back to the boat. Somewhere beyond the gathering fog stars were twinkling. "Fucking Pussy." Kapustcha lowered himself into the cabin's lone bunk and watched some Letterman, jingling the keys that he'd liberated from inside the lining of Krycek's jacket in his hand. He couldn't help wondering what sorts of treasures a spy like Krycek would keep in such places. Money? The Palm Pilot that rumor maintained controlled some un-named Assistant Director of the F.B.I? False ID's? Inside information that was a spy's only form of life insurance, which could be used to blackmail the unwary? It might be worth delaying his trip out of the country to retrieve the contents, not that it couldn't wait for another day when he was safely off the local police's radar screens. He drifted satedly off to sleep, dreaming of riches beyond avarice. ### It hurt to breathe. It was dark. It was cramped. And he was on his own. He had known it would come down to this in the end. It always did. But it was hard to concentrate, the state he was in, let alone plot his escape. It was impossible to maneuver inside the suitcase. It was all he could do to cup his hand around his aching balls and comfort his abused asshole with a gentle rub. He didn't want to panic, but it was hard to stay calm, knowing what was coming, knowing he couldn't do anything about it. It was all his own fault for losing his head when he'd had the jacket in his possession. Not that getting anything in it would have guaranteed him a clean escape. But still. It was something. It had been hope. Now, he was hopeless. He didn't know how much time he had left. How long he could hold out before the inevitable end. He vowed to be stronger. He was in an abandoned warehouse. There was trash everywhere. Surely, he could palm something, a nail, an old box cutter --something that he could use to escape. He just had to keep his wits. //Yeah, right,// he scoffed at himself. He'd done such a good job of that, so far. He wished he still had two arms. He'd have had the confidence to make a break for it, to grab a two-by-four or pipe --anything-- and beat Kapustcha's brains out. He wouldn't just hit and run like the last time, either. He was older, now. Seasoned.... Experienced enough to know he couldn't beat Kapustcha with one hand. If he allowed himself to be choked down, it didn't guarantee he'd die, anymore than if he'd let Kapustcha shoot him. It just meant more bruises and more injuries. But what else could he do? He tried to remember where the door was from his position. Tried to remember anything about the layout of the building whatsoever. He remembered a pile of lumber to his left. Maybe some of the boards had nails in them he could use to rip open the suitcase? //More likely I'll impale myself on a spike and do Kappy's job for him,// Krycek thought morosely. Nonetheless, he tried rocking his way to the left. He had to hurl himself at the suitcase walls, but he finally tipped the suitcase up onto its side. Then he let himself fall onto his other side. Then it was heel over onto the other side, easier done with him tipping towards his knees. And again. And again. And-- he hit timber. It was damned uncomfortable. And no nails that he could feel through the rigid canvas cloth. //Well....that was a perfect waste of time,// he thought. He tipped himself back the other way so he at least had a smooth, even surface to lay on. Then he cried.
