Yukie woke up in her hotel room when the sun was illuminating the city… and realised just how quiet it was on the fifth floor as it was after 11 in the morning.
"Okay, that's odd…" Yukie muttered as she turned the Tv on.
"In a repeat of our breaking news bulletin from earlier, a violent assault occurred at the WWE SmackDown 1000 event last night. The young mother and her unborn child were assaulted in the backstage area but are in stable condition and more updates will be provided as this story develops."
At the same time, Ashley was waking up to see Amanda in clean clothes and in a wheelchair.
"Hey there, sleepyhead. They're releasing me from here." Amanda responded, Ashley letting Seth help her up.
"So soon?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah. Liam and I were checked over and got cleared to leave." Amanda replied.
"I think it might be too soon, I'm gonna yell at a doctor, lousy idiots." Ashley said.
"Ash…" Amanda responded before Ashley left, Seth turning to Amanda. "She can get really protective." She replied.
"Yeah, that's true. But all the scans came back clean, you and Liam are healthy." Finn responded before he and Amanda kissed.
Ashley found Jeff, who was talking to the doctor.
"And you're sure everything's okay with them? Look, she was just attacked 13 hours ago, could've lost her baby, what are you doing releasing her?" Jeff responded.
Ashley turned and saw Chihiro, who had just arrived there 10 minutes ago.
"Shouldn't you be in school?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, but I wanted to skip some dumb quiz anyway." Chihiro explained. "What's this about? I got pranked at home overnight, because of my sister." She questioned.
"Kiddo, this isn't a prank…" Ashley responded before they sat down. "Yukie nearly killed Mandy and Liam last night." She explained, Chihiro's eyes widening in shock.
"Oh my… uh… I think I better go to school." Chihiro responded, before Ashley grabbed onto her arm.
"Someone's got some explaining to do, kid, we're obviously not getting answers out of Yukie and Hiroki crashed out at 7 am. Did something happen when Yukie was younger?" Ashley replied gently.
"Listen, I have better things in life, instead of talking about my sister's BS. Why would I be helping out when I'm supposed to be at school?!" Chihiro responded, as she loudly yelled out hoping for a police officer to hear that she felt like she was in danger.
"No one takes a flight from Jacksonville to Washington D.C without a reason, okay? Please… just help us figure out what went wrong and Yukie won't hurt you, I promise." Ashley explained, Chihiro relenting.
"When Yukie was 20… she was pregnant. At about 6 months in, she lost the baby… because of Hiro." Chihiro replied, Ashley letting her go.
"That son of a bitch. Bet he thought he'd go to his grave with that secret…" Ashley responded quietly.
"He actually… put something in it… like drugs in the fruit punch that Mom created, and Yukie was drinking so many glasses, until she finally passed out. Hours later, Yukie woke up without the baby boy. They… couldn't save them both." Chihiro explained once more.
"Why would he do that? His own grandson didn't do anything to him…" Ashley responded.
"I don't know… but honestly, I'm glad Hiro's gone. He wasn't much of a father." Chihiro replied before she left.
At the house they stayed at last night, Amanda got cleaned off and into pajamas and her and Dave hugged for a few minutes and he lightly examined her bruised face.
"I'm sorry that she did this, kiddo…" Dave responded.
"Ashley told me what happened to Yukie… I hope Hiro's burning in-" Amanda replied before her phone rang and she answered it. "Alexa?" She responded, Alexa breathing a relieved sigh after hearing Amanda.
"You really know how to scare people half to death. Are you both alright?" Alexa responded.
"We're okay, physically… honestly, I'm just freaked out that this happened." Amanda answered before Finn guided her to the couch and they sat down.
"Yeah, I never seen Yukie like that before. I hope that someone teaches her a lesson she won't forget." Alexa responded.
"You're not the only one." Phil muttered as he checked on the pizza.
"You better not burn the kitchen, Phil." Dave responded.
"I won't but I figured Mandy could feel a bit better with homemade food." Phil replied.
"Stay safe, okay?" Alexa asked.
"We will." Amanda replied before they hung up… and Amanda saw a text from Reby.
'I'm watching the news… was that you that got attacked?'
Amanda took pictures of her bruised right eye and face and sent them to Reby… who responded immediately.
'Oh damn it, no wonder Matt's insisting on booking the flights! Who did this?!'
'Yukie… look, I'm out of the hospital, you and Matt please stay put with the boys.' Amanda responded as Finn wrapped his left hand around her right one.
"Now you know that's not gonna work, you're family to them like Ash." Finn replied.
"I know, I just don't want them getting freaked out and Reby going after Yukie… speaking of someone going and hurting Yukie, has anyone seen Ash?" Amanda responded, Seth looking up and heading upstairs… and returning without Ashley.
"She's gone." Seth said.
Ashley reached the hotel Yukie had been staying at the night before… and dragged Yukie out of the rented Traverse and deeper into the parking garage as Yukie screamed.
"Oh shut the fuck up!" Ashley growled before slamming Yukie into the wall and punching her. "You like it when someone does that to you?!"
"Stop, please!" Yukie cried.
"She begged for you to stop! And yet you kept assaulting her!" Ashley yelled.
"I yelled at her but I didn't touch her! Hasn't that ever happened to you, being falsely accused?!" Yukie responded.
"I didn't try to kill an innocent child! What were you thinking, you lost yours so you decided Mandy and Finn couldn't keep their son?!" Ashley replied.
"That's not true. I was never pregnant." Yukie retorted, before she tried to run off and call for help.
"Try to deny it… deny this." Ashley responded after stopping her, showing Yukie a picture of her phone… a picture of the baby.
"What is that?" Yukie questioned.
"The son you never got to hold or hear cry… or watch grow up. Mandy had given Baron a spare key to the townhouse and he found it and sent the picture to me." Ashley explained before putting her phone away.
"Just… Just get away from me. I don't need this anymore!" Yukie responded, before she pulled out a gun, pointing it to Ashley. "I'm going to walk out this garage, and if you dare call the police on me… Just stay the fuck away from me." She explained, before walking away once more.
"You seriously were gonna try to shoot me?" Ashley asked.
But she got no answer and left, reaching Dave's house… and walking in, her and Amanda hugging.
"I suggest a restraining order and evicting her from your home… she had a gun." Ashley explained once they let go.
"A gun, what the… oh fuck!" Amanda responded before Katherine dialed 911 and explained the situation.
Yukie was in a police station a half hour later and handcuffed to an interrogation table.
"Homicidal, my ass!" Yukie muttered.
She felt like she couldn't get free now.
