Dean had been chewing off every finger nail when Seth finally returned many hours later. He had left that morning and didn't come back until in the middle of the afternoon. Both Dean and Roman had been on edge. They were scared out of their minds that Seth had been spotted and captured.

"Where the fuck were you?" Dean growled.
"Relax. I'm back now. I had to follow her around to make sure they weren't following her too, and wait for the right moment," Seth said.

Dean pulled Seth in for a hug.

"I was scared, you son of a bitch," Dean said.
"I understand," Seth said.
"What did she say?" Roman asked.

Seth sighed and looked at Tori with regret in his eyes.

"Sorry, Tori. I didn't want to believe you but you were right. Becky stabbed me in the back," Seth said.
"Did you kill her?" Dean asked.
"I wanted to so bad but I'm not that man anymore. I'm better than that," Seth said.

Seth sat down on a chair and sighed again. He only trusted very few people in the world and one of them had just abused that trust and sold him out.

"I cornered her in the parking lot of the mall. I forced her into my car and drove for an hour to a place where I could easily have made her disappear. She told me everything. Tori was right. She's convinced I want Tori so she decided to break my heart the way I broke hers. Her words. I couldn't make her understand that I have no feelings towards Tori or her. Love is the furthest thing on my mind right now. I just wanna live, damn it. I just wanna fucking live," Seth said.

Roman reached over and patted Seth's shoulder.

"We all do," Roman said.
"I left her there," Seth said. "She could walk home or hitch hike. I was so angry that I thought it was the right punishment. I didn't lay a hand on her. I swear. I'm never gonna hurt anyone again that way. Not unless I'm fighting for my life."
"What do we do now?" Roman asked.
"What do we do about her?" Dean nodded at Tori.
"Drive her back after nightfall," Roman said.
"Yeah, about that," Seth said.

Seth sighed and threw a news paper on the floor in front of them. Tori was on the front page.

TORI MILLIS DISAPPEARED LAST NIGHT.
Was she kidnapped by Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, or is she working with them behind everyone's back? Police thinks she might have known more than she originally said, and that she's working with them on something big. Right now they're handling it as a terrorism case. They don't know what the target might be yet but they got every man on the force on it. Tori recently won people's hearts again when she did her latest piece on the three men, but now it looks like she might have been stomping on people's hearts from the beginning.

"That's a lie," Dean said.
"Technically not. We did kidnap her," Roman said.
"Fuck!" Dean snapped. "What are we gonna do?"
"Use me to bargain if needed," Tori said.
"No!" Roman raised his voice. "We already put you through enough. We are not using you in a war against an enemy that you don't stand a chance with. This is our fight. Not yours. You got caught in the crossfire once but we're driving you back tonight. End of discussion."
"Think about it, Roman," Tori said. "Keep me a little longer. I got contacts. I can get you out of the country unseen. I can get you to countries that won't hand you back even if USA demands it. Let me do what I do best and help you."

The three men quickly looked between each other and nodded.

"What do you need?" Roman asked.
"My phone," Tori answered. "Not the one in my bag that Dean dropped. That's my normal phone. I got a phone only I know about. I keep it hidden in my garden by the strawberries. Last row, left side. You gotta do a bit of digging but you'll find it in a plastic bag there."
"We need to go back," Seth sighed.
"I'll go," Dean said. "I owe that to Tori after the shit I've already put her through."
"We'll all go," Roman said.
"No," Dean said. "They're all over her place. I can sneak into her garden and dig out the stupid phone. Three of us trying to hide behind plants will be too noticeable. In case I get spotted, rather it's only me and not all three of us. You know no torture will ever make me break."
"God damn it!" Roman growled. "Fine! But I don't like it."

That night Dean crept through the darkness all dressed in black, crawling over the ground almost down on his stomach. He could see people inside the house through the dark window. They were watching and waiting, not knowing the enemy was so close.

He found the strawberries and crawled to the exact spot she had said. He started digging with his fingers until he felt plastic. He pulled it up and looked at the phone and charger hidden inside. He pushed the dirt back in place so they wouldn't notice anything. He knew these people noticed the weirdest details. They were trained the same way as him. He crawled back out of the garden, ran to the car and hurried back to the house.

"Got it!" He yelled as he opened the door.

He ran to them in the next room and handed the plastic bag to Tori. She opened it, took out the phone and turned it on. She dialed a number and waited for a few seconds.

"Rat," she said.

She waited a few seconds before saying a mmm-hmm sound that sounded like she agreed on something.

"Four," she said. "Fast. Tomorrow if you can."

She hung up and looked at the men.

"We'll leave tomorrow morning," Tori said.
"Rat?" Seth asked.
"I'm the rat spilling all the secrets," Tori smiled. "My contact prefer pets as names for people. He picks them."
"Where are we going?" Roman asked.
"I don't know. He never tells people until the second they're leaving. He'll contact me with a place to meet, and we'll go there. Don't worry. Your faces are all over the place. This guy knows his shit. He'll have fake passports ready tomorrow morning. I have no idea how he works as fast as he does but he's helped a lot of people out of the country. You can trust him."
"Trust," Seth sneered. "Trust sucks."

Dean looked over at Tori with sad eyes. He lifted his hand and pointed at her throat.

"You're starting to change color," Dean said. "I'm so sorry."
"You should see my back then from when you tackled me last night. I look like I fell down the stairs," Tori said.
"God, make me feel worse, will you?" Dean said.
"I forgive you, Dean. I understand where you were coming from," Tori said.
"Whatever," Dean said. "I'm sleeping on the couch tonight. If I have a nightmare, don't go fucking near me. Just throw something at my face and steer clear of me."
