What could be the possible motives in a story where a woman kidnaps a saleswoman?

One possible motive could be financial gain. Maybe she thinks the saleswoman has access to money or valuable items at her workplace. For example, if the saleswoman works in a high - end jewelry store, the kidnapper might hope to get hold of some precious jewels through her.

If there are any objects around, she could use them as weapons to defend herself and escape. Like if there's a heavy object like a vase, she could hit the kidnapper (not too hard to cause serious harm but enough to daze her) and then run away. Also, if she has a phone or can get to one, she could call for help secretly.

Maybe she's trying to protect Naruto from something she knows about but others don't. She might think that by kidnapping him, she can keep him safe from an imminent threat that the village or his friends are unaware of.

She might be a huge fan of the writer and think that by kidnapping him, she can force him to create a novel just for her. Maybe she has some very specific ideas in her head that she wants to see in a novel and believes this is the only way to get it.

Well, in this kind of fanfiction, Doc Oc could kidnap Spiderman to force him to reveal his identity. Doc Oc might think that knowing who Spiderman really is would give him an upper hand in their ongoing battles. It could also be that Doc Oc wants to study Spiderman's powers. He's a scientist after all, and Spiderman's abilities are quite unique. He might believe that by kidnapping and examining Spiderman, he can find a way to replicate or counter those powers.

Well, it could be out of jealousy. Maybe Dean feels like he's losing Ginny to someone else and in a moment of madness, decides to kidnap her. But this is all just speculation within the wild world of fanfiction.

It could also be for power. Perhaps Stiles has some knowledge or ability that Theo wants to use for his own gain. In the show, Stiles was quite smart and resourceful, so Theo might kidnap him to get access to that intelligence or those skills. In some fanfictions, Theo might be trying to use Stiles as a bargaining chip to get something from the other characters like Scott or Derek.

It could be for comedic effect. Writers often use absurd situations to make people laugh. So, the idea of a woman putting a man in a washer is so outlandish that it can bring a lot of humor to the story. Another motive might be to show the woman's dominance in the relationship in a very extreme and funny way. In some stories, it can be a way to turn gender roles on their head.

One possible motive could be Damon's possessiveness. In the 'The Vampire Diaries' universe, Damon has a complex relationship with Elena. He might kidnap her out of fear of losing her to someone else, like Stefan. Maybe he thinks that by taking her away, he can have her all to himself and make her see that he is the one she should be with.

One possible motive could be related to power. Maybe Sasuke thinks that Hinata has some sort of connection or knowledge that could help him gain more power. For example, her Byakugan might be of interest to him in terms of seeing things that he couldn't otherwise. Another motive could be a misdirected sense of revenge. He might believe that Hinata is somehow connected to someone he wants to get back at. It could also be a plot by an outside force that is controlling Sasuke to kidnap Hinata, perhaps for some kind of experiment due to her unique abilities.
