It goes...poorly

"We meet again, Amanda.", said the devil. He appeared nonchalant, but Dana could sense that he wasn't pleased. She saw Amanda's face, her expression betraying her fear and recognition.

"You made a big mistake coming here.", he continued. There was a hint of menace in his words.

"As did you.", responded Amanda, her voice quaking just slightly. "Now stand down. You will come with me to Acropolis."

"Will I, now?", he shot back incredulously, his mouth twisting into his trademark smile. "And you're going to make me do it?" He took a small step towards Amanda. She had her weapon trained at him, but she didn't move.

Eyes wide in shock, Dana saw what was happening. She needed to warn Amanda, but found herself unable to move or say anything. She was frozen in place, no doubt by some magic - a spectator to the events in front of her.

"You know what I can do to you. I have to commend your bravery - although I know you never lacked it.", he smiled as Amanda winced. He was slowly walking towards Amanda as she kept her weapon trained on him. Dana could sense that these two had a history - what it was, she wasn't quite sure yet.

"I have backup. They know my location.", said Amanda - almost to convince herself as much as to deter the devil. He laughed dismissively as he took another step, coming almost face to face with Amanda.

"They're still far away, my dear. And I don't say this often - it'll take me far less time than that.", he said as he laid a gentle hand on Amanda's weapon.

Amanda let out a small gasp as she looked down - all this time that she was talking to him, her outfit had been disappearing, one by one. Dana had tried to warn her as she saw Amanda's suit vanish piece by piece, followed by her underwear - but she was helpless herself.

Amanda stood there in numb shock, naked as the day she was born. Her body was red with embarrassment as he removed the weapon from her grasp. She didn't resist as he lifted her on one shoulder before turning to Dana.

"Just like the good old days.", he laughed, before all three of them vanished. By the time backup arrived, there was no trace of them.
