"EVADING MACUSA... AGAIN"
Tina explained who Gnarlak was. Her informer from when she was an Auror. Apparently he could help them track Newt's creature before it was too late.
Kenna grimaced at the mentioned of Gnarlak being a Goblin. 'Pest arrogant creatures' she had murmured as they made their way to a speakesy.
Kenna murmuring to herself all the way as Tina lead them through an alley to a doorway that was covered up with a brick and the poster of a strawberry blonde woman gazing herself in a mirror.
Kenna groaned in annoyance seeing the sisters pulling out their wands, transforming their own clothes into flapper dresses.
"No way" Kenna argued crossing her arms over her waist, feeling self-conscious as Queenie turned to her with a charming smile.
The woman didn't want to make a bad impression on the woman thinking she was afraid of her after seeing what she was capable of on her sister's mind.
"We all gonna go inside, Ms Page..." Queenie said with a small smirk "You don't look too appropriate"
Quennie raised her wand.
Kenna raised her hand, stopping her "All right. But I choose how to dress myself" she said eyeing the women's dressing.
Queenie exchanged a smug smile with Tina
Newt pursed his lips looking down hiding his amusement.
Kenna grumbled, pulling her wand out, the tip of the wand lighting up as she passed it over herself changing her attire into a purple flapper dress adorned with silver lining.
Kenna noticed Newt holding back an amused laugh and pushed his shoulder with what she thought was strength but she wasn't known to be a bludger so Newt barely swayed before pulling out his own wand smiling lightly as Tina knocked on the wall rhythmically.
Newt conjured himself a little bowtie to fit in with the women as well as Jacob seemed in a trance looking at Queenie with a smile.
Where there was the poster woman's eyes, those disappeared for masculine eyes (or so Kenna wanted to think) surveying the newcomers.
Once they were inside, Kenna noticed with a small smile a female Goblin singing which she thought sounded great. However her gaze fell to the walls and grimaced figuring out what kind of speakeasy was this one.
Wanted posters hung proudly on the walls and she recognized MACUSA's logo on the corner of those.
"Is this some kind of refugee for criminals?" Kenna questioned Tina in a whisper. The woman in question gulped lightly as she nodded in answer. Kenna scrunched her nose and started rubbing her arm uncomfortably for being around a lot of people, criminals at that," Fantastic"
A part of Kenna, the stern one it always carried around her while working as an Auror was itching for her to put her hands on them and drag their asses back to jail but she knew right now she wasn't an Auror anymore.
She realized with a sigh, she was a criminal now.
Newt, Tina and Kenna found themselves siting on a table while Queenie and Jacob stayed behind at the bar leaving the ex-Aurors and the magizoologist to deal with the Goblin.
Newt looked down at Kenna noticing how skittish she seemed to be looking around and rubbing her arm. Action he noticed she did quit often, including when she was at Hogwarts.
"I've arrested half the people in here" Tina broke the silence between them.
"How comforting" Kenna murmured nervously, Newt caught it as she was siting next to him and chuckled lightly.
Newt looked at Kenna for a second gathering information on her behavior when he remembered having witnessing something similar hours earlier from someone else.
"You can tell me to mind my own business" Newt began looking across the table to Tina "But I saw something back in that death potion back there. I saw you hugging that Second Salem boy"
Kenna looked up in interest, as she had been possessed (as she put it when the Obscurus was released) she hadn't seen on Tina's memories past the ones of her parents on the potion pool. But Newt had always a reason behind what he was questioning, so she knew what he wanted to know was important.
"His name is Credence" Tina said sympathetically "His mother beats him. She beats all those kids she's adopted, but she seems to hate him the most"
Something inside Kenna stirred up and she tensed up.
"And she was the No-Maj you attacked?" Newt questioned softly
"That's how I lost my job" Tina said in a sad tone "I went for her in front of a meeting of her crazy followers" she bit her lip "They all had to be obliviated. It was a big scandal"
Kenna looked down at her lap wondering if the Obscurus belonged to that child. He had all the signs. She needed to save him. She was about to stand up when a hand on top of her hands stopped her from moving, she peered up at the hand and noticed Newt was the one who stopped her.
Newt saw right through Kenna after Tina explained who Credence was and had to stop her before she did something reckless. Newt looked down at her and shot her a look shaking lightly his head.
Kenna was prone to make a scene right there exclaiming he had no right on telling her what to do when a nudge from Tina stopped her from whatever she was gonna say as she pointed ahead of them.
There she spotted the suave dressed Goblin Gnarlak making his way to them, sitting in their table. "So, you're the guy with the case full of monsters, huh?"
"News travel fast" Newt said.
The wizards exchanged an uncomfortable look and things were going from bad to worse as the Goblin didn't want to accept anything they had to offer for his help unless it was something he wanted.
Kenna's obscurus was bond to make an appearance if there wasn't success even thought the Goblin had shown up some interest when Newt placed a frozen Ashwinder egg on the table. However, Pickett the Bowtruckle made the mistake of poking his head out from Newt's coat and that's what made Gnarlak lit up finding what he wanted
"That's a Bowtruckle, right?" The Goblin asked pointing at Newt.
"No" Newt told him sternly, shifting in his seat to hide Pickett from ghe goblin's view.
"Oh, come on, they pick locks, am I right?" Gnarlak asked.
"No, you're not having him" Newt told him.
Gnarlak smirked slightly shaking his head, "Well, good luck gettin' back alive, Mr. Scamander. What with the whole MACUSA on your back"
Gnarlak stood, starting to walk away.
"Alright" Newt called out to the Goblin.
Kenna looked at Newt incredulously, hissing. "What are you doing?"
Newt ignored her, pulling the Bowtruckle out from his pocket.
The little creature clang into his hands making small noises that broke her heart as it seemed like he was crying. Pickett looked up at the woman as well begging with his eyes as he had been witness of the love and care she had with a creature, even thought she was dangerous in other's eyes for what she was.
When the obscurus had saved Pickett throwing him to Kenna's head, he had noticed she got control back for over a second taking the Bowtruckle carefully placing him on her coat smiling a small smile before her eyes turned dull again as she had lost control.
"Newt..." Kenna began noticing Newt didn't look over at Pickett's direction as he gave it to the Goblin.
Pickett's little body fell in defeat and made one more small sad noise.
Kenna's eyes focused on the creature on the Goblin's disgusting hands holding the Bowtruckle as he struggled as hard as he could to get away from the goblin's grip.
"Somethin' invisible's been wreakin' havoc around Fifth Avenue" Gnarlak gave them information they were interested on. "You may want to check out Macy's Department store. Might help what you're looking for"
The lights flickered around the bar slightly as she focused on the Goblin as Newt asked about Mr Graves.
Shit was coming down if she didn't calm herself down....
"MACUSA are coming!"
Kenna looked up with a dark look as a house-elf yelled.
Tina stood up angrily "You tipped them off!"
Aurors burst out everywhere into the area to restrain and arrest everyone.
Gnarlak laughed out evilly as chaos broke out as everyone scrambled to escape.
Kenna ignored the commotion and slowly stood up making her way to the goblin. Lamps breaking as she passed while some ash colored smoke rose from her fingertips and out of the broken lamps.
Newt noticing that knew there was a matter of time before the Obscurus was released again if she didn't calm down.
Gnarlak noticed the dark look on the witch's eyes, his smug expression disappearing "You have something it doesn't belong to you" she spoke lowly and darkly as he was lifted up by an invisible force surrounded by dark ash colored smoke.
Jacob noticed wide eyed the substance and quickly hit the goblin in the face knocking him down unconscious before the witch would do something she may regret later, but felt good knocking him, smiling at Queenie in victory.
Kenna blinked, the dark matter that had appeared disappeared with a puff and that's when she finally noticed the chaos around her as everyone tried to escape the aurors. Her name, Newt's and Tina's appearing on every wanted poster around the area.
"What happened? Who tipped MACUSA?" Kenna asked Jacob in alarmed confusion.
Queenie looked at her in concern as Tina reached them.
Jacob drowned out a shot of Giggle water letting out a high-pitch giggle as Newt reached them, Pickett safely in his hands, grabbing Kenna's arm and all of them disapparated from the Blind Pig.
Jacob's giggling echoing as they landed on Alley away from the Blind Pig.
