spirits away
Whisks off covertly
To spirit away is to remove someone or something swiftly and secretly, as if by supernatural means: The witness was spirited away to a safe house before the trial.
The phrase suggests mysterious or covert disappearance—someone vanishes without explanation or is whisked off before others notice.
