Keigo leaned against the counter, staring at Dabi as he was stocking the shelf of shot glasses. He had a soft smirk on his face.

"Okay, what's with the look?" Dabi asked, feeling the stares.

"Just wondering what we're gonna do tonight."

Dabi smirked as he walked over to the register. Getting up behind Keigo so he was pinned between him and the counter, Dabi leaned in close. "I'm sure we can think of something," he whispered in his ear.

Keigo flushed. The store closed in a few hours, but he wasn't going to object if Dabi wanted to leave now.

At that moment Sero walked into the shop. "Take it to the backroom, you two."

Shinso, who'd be organizing the shirts, laughed. "You act like they wouldn't do it on the sales floor if they could."

Keigo shot him a glare before looking at Sero. "What are you doing here so early? Who's filling smoothie orders?" he asked, pushing Dabi's face away with his hand.

Sero shrugged. "Boss is training my new co-worker."

Dabi raised an eyebrow. "You guys were hiring?"

"You're not the boss?"

Sero shrugged again as he poked a lava lamp. Having a co-worker was a new concept since he'd been running the smoothie bar solo for the last few years. "Anyways, I'm done for the day. Just hanging around until Yumi is out of work. She gets out early tonight so I told her we'd do something."

"That's right, the old men aren't here today. Out celebrating their anniversary," Dabi said with a chuckle.

Keigo looked to the side. He could only imagine what it was like to be able to celebrate a wedding anniversary. After 6 years, he didn't think it would ever happen between him and Dabi.

"What are you doing here, Nugget?" Dabi asked as Shoto walked in.

Shoto shrugged. "Amijiki said we could close today due to Mr. Aizawa being out. I'm just hanging around, trying to figure out what to do."

"Make sense. Hooters is closing early as well. Guess that's what happens when the managers take a personal day off. Golden Noodle for their anniversary is a good choice," Sero said, remembering how good the food had been.

Shinso scowled. "You know….if Aizawa and Yamada are both out….I wonder if he has any self-control."

They all knew who he was.

"Isn't he still banned?" Dabi asked, wondering if things were about to get interesting.

"Yeah, but you think that would stop him?"

Shoto thought about it. "Mr. Aizawa manages to keep him on a short leash around the store."

"I'm gonna go check and make sure everything is okay," Sero said, walking out. His next stop was Hooters.

Standing at the register, Yumi focused on inputting the latest ticket into the system.

"Hey, Yumi. Do you know where Mr. Yamada is?" One of the girls, Violet, asked as she walked behind the counter.

"He's not in today. He and his husband went to Golden Noodle for their anniversary," Yumi said, not looking up from the ticket.

"Is that why we're closing early today?"

Since it was a special occasion, Mr. Yamada told supervising staff that they could close a few hours early that day. They were closing in an hour, yet there was still a restaurant full of people.

"Yeah, that's why. If you need anything, I think Mirio, the assistant manager, is in the office."

Violet nodded and walked away, presumably to talk to whoever was supervising.

Yumi printed out the receipt for the table she was waiting on when she heard the door open. "Hi, welcome in," she said looking up, and instantly noticed a familiar stature. "No. No. Get out." She hurried from behind the counter to confront him.

"What's the problem?" Mineta asked defensively, looking around at other patrons.

"You're banned! A lifetime ban means you can't come back," she said, as she gestured for him to leave.

"Come on. Let me have a seat," he complained. He tried pushing past her, wanting to be let in.

By now the whole restaurant was watching the two of them.

"No way, perv. Get out or I'm calling the cops."

"Fine, fine I'm leaving. Don't bother calling the cops," he said as he turned around.

He walked out. Yumi followed after him, wanting to make sure that he actually left. Watching Mineta walk towards the mall, Yumi sighed. This whole situation gave her a headache. Reaching into the pocket of her apron she pulled out Sero's car keys. Since she would be getting out first he let her have the car that day. Walking over to the black 2015 Toyota Camry parked off to the side of the restaurant, Yumi opened the back seat and leaned in. She had a box in the back with some aspirin as well as hygiene products.

Suddenly there was pressure on her back. Someone grabbed her arms and pulled them behind her back.

"What the hell," she said, as she struggled to get the weight off her. Looking over her shoulder, she saw it was Mineta. He had a knee on her back, pinning her down to the seat as he had a roll of duct tape in his hands. Where had he gotten tape? "Get off of me, Mineta!"

Instead of listening, Mineta started wrapping the tape around her wrists, securing them together.

Yumi struggled, trying to get him off. "HEL-mph " Her attempt to call for help was cut off as Mineta pressed the tape over her lips. He wrapped the rope around her head twice before tearing off the piece.

"It's all your fault," he said as he tore the tape from the roll. "Because of you I got banned from going inside. All I wanted to do was look at all the gorgeous babes, but no. You had to stop that."

After two long years, Mineta was tired of the rejection. Hooters had been the one place where beautiful girls had to talk to him. However, thanks to Yumi, he'd been banned after she'd attacked him. In his mind, if he could get rid of Yumi, then things could go back to the way they had been. With Mr. Aizawa and Mr. Yamada gone, and no one around to see them, this was his opportunity.

Getting off her, Mineta sat her up. He pulled the tape and brought it just above her chest. Yumi struggled as he wrapped the tape around her body several times, pinning her arms to her body. He pulled Yumi out of the car. Using her car keys Mineta popped open the trunk.

"Come on," he said, pushing her into the trunk. She resisted, so Mineta hoisted her into it. The scrunchie holding her hair in a ponytail fell out of her hair, falling on the floor. Not that he noticed.

He grabbed her ankles and wrapped some tape around them.

"Mmph!" Yumi cried as she tried kicking him.

To prevent her from kicking the trunk door to get attention, Mineta pulled her legs behind her and wrapped the tape around her thighs and legs. Once he was sure she was secured, Mineta pulled back and reached for the trunk door. Yumi let out a muffled scream as he closed the trunk.

With the keys in hand, Mineta walked around to the driver's door. Now that he had Yumi he wondered what he should do. A part of him thought about having some fun with her before disposing of her while another part of him thought it was best to go with his initial plan: drive the car into a nearby lake with Yumi in the trunk. Probably best to do that.

Sure people would notice she was missing instantly, but there would be no way people could connect him to it.

"Mineta, what are you doing by my car?" Sero asked, walking through the parking lot.

Mineta dropped the keys, startled. Crap, Sero was out of work already.

"Nothing. I was just looking at it. Seemed like a cool car is all," he said, nervously backing away.

Sero's brows raised, confused. "Thanks?"

Walking around Sero, Mineta chuckled. "Well I gotta get going," he said before taking off running. He was screwed. He was so screwed.

Sero watched him run off. He knew that Mineta would end up over at Hooters with no one to pull back the reins. Still, he was confused as to why Mineta was over by his car.

As he began walking away from the car, Sero noticed the keys on the ground. Picking them up, he looked at them.

Yumi had the keys….

A bad feeling was setting in as he looked at Hooters. He ran over and rushed in.

"Hey, where's Yumi?" he asked, hoping maybe she'd dropped the keys when she'd come into work.

"Yumi? I'm not sure. She followed that one guy out when he tried coming in," one of the girls said.

"Which guy?"

"That little pervert. What's his name again," she said, pondering a bit. "I think it's Mineta?"

The world went silent as Sero spun around and ran out of the restaurant. What the fuck had that asshole done with her?

Going to the car, Sero looked it over. He noticed a bright orange scrunchie on the floor. Picking it up, it looked similar to the one Yumi always used at work. He looked at the trunk. Was she in there?

His hands shook as took the key and pushed it into the lock. As he turned the key, he half expected to find her dead body laying there. God only knows what Mineta was capable of. Opening the trunk, he saw Yumi squirming around, all taped up. He let out a sigh of relief, glad to see she was still safe.

He looked at Yumi as she stared back at him with her amethyst eyes. He could see the fear and the anger she had. "Don't worry, I got you," he said as he walked away.

Going to the passenger seat he opened the glove box and pulled out an emergency knife he kept in there to cut the seatbelts. Hurrying back to her, Sero carefully cut the tape around her ankles and legs. Mineta had gone to so much effort to make sure she couldn't get free on her own. Sitting her up he was careful to cut the tape around her wrists and arms. Once her hands were free Yumi pulled the tape down from her lips and painfully dislodged it from her hair.

"I am so gonna kill Mineta for this!"

Sero smirked. "That's my girl," he said, helping her out of the trunk.

Back at Spencers Keigo was still leaning against the counter, snacking on some popcorn, when he noticed something purple run past the doors. He hadn't caught what it was.

"Well that was weird," he said as Dabi walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"I think my eyes are playing tricks on me. I might be tired."

"You need to work in order to be tired," Shinso muttered, sweeping the floors.

As a response, Keigo dropped some of the popcorn he'd been munching on.

Dabi chuckled. "Can't say I didn't see that coming."

Shinso muttered something under his breath as he swept up the popcorn.

Sero came running up to the store. "Has Mineta passed by here?"

Keigo raised an eyebrow. "No...why?" Something told him this wasn't good.

"Because he's a dead man!" Yumi said, walking into the store. She had her hoodie over her uniform and had changed out of heels into converse. Her hair pulled back into a ponytail.

Shinso whistled. "Oh she looks pissed," he said to Keigo as he walked past him.

"That fucking idiot tried to kidnap me!"

Keigo, who was just about to eat another handful of popcorn, stopped. The popcorn spilled out of his hand and landed on the floor.

"Oh come on!" Shinso said as he walked over to sweep it up.

Dabi was just as stunned as Keigo. "He did what now?"

"Found her in the trunk of my car, all taped up. Apparently, she chased him out of Hooters and he overpowered her somehow," Sero said, shaking his head a bit. He didn't want to think about what would have happened had Mineta been allowed to drive off.

"Have you guys seen him?" Yumi asked, tapping her foot. She was ready to repay the favor.

"I think I saw him run past here just a few minutes ago," Keigo said, pointing in the direction Mineta had gone.

Without a word, Yumi took off out of the store and in the direction Keigo had pointed her.

"Are you going to do anything about Mineta?" Dabi asked Sero, curious if he was going to protect his woman.

"Yeah. Make sure she doesn't kill him. You saw how mad she was, I'm not gonna try to interfere," Sero said, knowing when to pick his battles. Did he want to kick the guy's ass for harming his woman? Hell yeah, but he knew this was something Yumi wanted more than for him to defend her. He knew when to hold back for her. Maybe, if he let her do this, she'd let him tie her up like that later. A man could dream.

Keigo chuckled. "Smart man."

Sero took off, running after Yumi. Keigo looked back at Dabi, who just smiled. Reaching into his pocket Keigo took out a $20 and set it on the counter. Dabi reached into their stash of snacks and pulled out a few bags of popcorn.

"We'll be back Shinso," he said, walking out with Dabi in tow.

"But I want to watch too!" Shinso called out.

~.~

Mineta ran down the mall, in the direction of Dicks. He was sure by now Sero had figured out what had happened and gotten Yumi free from the tape. His life was now on the line. Dicks was closed and locked up when he got there. Getting to the gate, he reached into his pockets and took out a store key that he'd swipe early on. He managed to get the gate up and he forced the door open.

The room was dark, and Mineta tried to feel his way around the place.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The silent alarm had been triggered, startling Mineta. This wasn't good. He just wanted a place to hide. With the alarm going off, police were going to be notified. Now he'd have to explain why he was in there, and why he now feared for his life.

Running further into the store, Mineta tripped over one of the bikes. Knowing how far into the store he was, it was a good idea to just wait there for the police to arrive. He'd rather get arrested for breaking and entering than have to face Sero.

~.~

Keigo and Dabi finally caught up to Sero outside of Dick's. He was just sitting there, looking inside.

"Dude, what are you doing out here?" Keigo asked, looking inside. It was pitch black in the store without any lights on. How the hell were they going to see the ass whooping?!

Sero looked up at them. "Well, she went in. I'm staying out here because it seems safer."

The two thought about it and agreed.

"He's in God's hands now," Dabi said as the two sat down.

Keigo grabbed a bag of popcorn and opened it up. From outside they could hear the alarm blaring. However, every so often they heard Mineta's screams. She'd found him.

"Remember, don't kill him. You don't need a murder charge!" Sero yelled inside to Yumi as Mineta's screams got louder.
