"Should be reaching where you are. She's 5'1", has long dark hair and hazel eyes." Dakota responded into the headset Devitt had on before the 32 year old heard them, putting his mask on.
"You fucking pulled my hand too hard and dislocated my thumb! What was I supposed to do, not punch your fucking face in?!" 23 year old Amanda yelled as the argument continued between her and Seth, Amanda cradling her right hand to her body.
"She's a fiery one." Devitt whispered before he motioned to a masked Karl, who was barely visible in the adjoining hallway.
Karl ran over and punched Seth, knocking him down and Amanda tried to pull Karl off… only for Devitt to run up and grab the brunette from behind.
"Make it look real and kick me a few times-" Karl whispered, cut off by Amanda slamming her right foot into his ribcage as she tried to bite Devitt but he held her mouth closed and got closer, his mouth by her right ear and Karl gripping onto Amanda's legs.
"We're not here to hurt you… your friends called us to get you away from him but you have to make this look real, lass. No biting but struggle against us and hit us… we'll be okay." Devitt responded quietly, Amanda doing so as they dragged her outside and into the vehicle… before they drove off, Devitt and Karl taking their masks off as Tama was driving the Equinox while Devitt held Amanda in his lap after lowering his hand.
Amanda caught her breath as Devitt saw dried blood under her lower lip.
"Fucking hell… this bastard really beat you up, Mandy." Devitt replied after wiping some of Amanda's concealer away and seeing bruises on the left side of her face.
"Seth's temper gets uncontrollable but… the idiots in creative didn't want me split apart from The Shield." Amanda responded.
"It won't continue… we won't let it continue. You're probably wondering where we're headed… I think you'll like it." Devitt said before helping her buckle up after she was in the seat, Amanda still cradling her right hand.
'Tokyo…' Amanda thought, knowing that Wrestle Kingdom 8 was coming up next month.
At the same time, Dianne reached the trainer's room and found Seth, Roman and Dean.
"Damn it, what happened to you three?! And where's Mandy?!" Dianne responded in panic.
"We got jumped after our match!" Dean replied.
"And they snatched Mandy!" Seth yelled, Dianne taking off to where Hunter was.
"Call the cops, Seth claims that Mandy's been kidnapped-" Dianne replied, Hunter getting her to sit down and closing the door.
"She hasn't… Dakota and I came up with a plan to basically rescue Mandy so I called some guys from New Japan Pro Wrestling to pull this off." Hunter explained.
"So they're taking her to Japan? For how long?" Dianne asked.
"Until things calm down here." Hunter answered.
When they reached the private plane and were in it, it wasn't long before they were leaving Houston and on their way to Tokyo… Amanda settled into one of the seats after taking her makeup off, Devitt pulling a blanket onto her and lightly stroking her hair for a few seconds.
"We might need to change this so they don't recognise you right away." Devitt responded, Amanda knowing that he was right.
And it was in Tokyo that she found a hair colorist who dyed Amanda's long brown hair to a bluish grey color and styled it by curling it and putting it in a ponytail. After thanking her, Amanda and Devitt left and met up with the others at Okada's house.
"Kanojo wa gengo no ōku o shiranai." Devitt explained to Okada, who nodded.
"Sore wa daijōbudesu, kanojo ga kihon o manabu no wa sorehodo jikan ga kakarimasen." Okada responded before smiling at Amanda, who smiled back.
"Koko wa anzendesu ka?" Amanda asked.
"Koko de hijō ni anzendesu, misu." Okada answered.
Amanda followed Devitt upstairs and he picked the phone up off the receiver and dialed Bryan's number.
"We've got her. She's safe." Devitt explained, Bryan breathing a relieved sigh.
"That's good. If you ever get back to the states, there's a beach house in LA to hide out too. And I swear, The Shield have no idea where it is." Bryan responded.
"Good… also, how bad are they feeling? We can make them feel worse." Devitt replied.
"Well if you really want to send a ear or something like that in mail." Bryan said.
"I'm not chopping the woman's ear off!" Devitt responded, Bryan laughing.
"Well chop off her finger or toe. Seeing a body part will scare the holy fuck out of them. Make sure you put that thing on ice." Bryan said.
"I have an idea." All three heard, Amanda and Devitt seeing Karl. "I know someone who has mannequins that are realistic enough, we can use a fake body part." Karl explained.
"That's a pretty neat idea. Maybe send a lock of her hair as well." Bryan said.
"Got some of it trimmed off… let's scare them senseless." Amanda replied.
"I'll film their reaction. Make it look like I'm doing my daily vlog to the fans." Bryan said.
After the call ended, the group sent part of Amanda's hair that hadn't been dyed and a fake finger with navy nail polish and blood in a box.
When an over caffeinated Seth opened the door the next night, he picked up the box.
"You order a movie prop or something?" Dean asked… before Seth screamed after opening the box, dropping it and Roman running over and picking it up.
"Dean…" Roman choked out, setting the open box down on the table and Dean's eyes widening in horror.
"Those animals chopped her finger and hair off!" Dean yelled, Seth seeing Bryan in the doorway.
"And look at we got here, The Shield. What's been happening boys?" Bryan asked, flipping his phone around so the camera was on Seth, Dean and Roman.
"Call the police, those animals mutilated Mandy!" Roman responded, Bryan seeing the finger and hair.
"And get that fucking camera away from us!" Seth yelled, Bryan flipping him off.
Bryan knew that they were truly shaken up as he sent the video to Devitt.
