Invisible String [t. s]

Chase & Catch

"What are you doing?" Asked Jacob.

"Hush. Tin's in trouble, I'm trying to listen." Amélie frowned. "Any of you knows, where's Newt's case?"

"Graves has it." Rosier answered. "Must be at his office, don't know where it is though."

"I do. Come on."

"Wait, you're not going to obliviate me? The question's specifically for you, French miss." Élie smiled.

"I'm not obliviating you, Mister Kowalski. And I know she won't do it either." Queenie smiled.

"Of course not. You're one of us now." Said the blonde woman.

From that moment on, it didn't take them long to reach Graves' office. It was closed and the door was locked. Queenie started to make an attempt to pick the lock using classic spells that would open it like 'Alohomora' or 'Aberto' but none worked.

"He would know some fancy spell to lock his office." Said Queenie and Amélie pulled out her wand.

"If I may..." Said the man beside her and she simply nodded, giving him a try. The two ladies stepped back a bit and, seconds later, he kicked down the door. Rosier chuckled.

"Magnifique." She complimented and Mister Kowalski smiled.

"Thank you." Queenie rushed into the office, took the case and the wands from the desk, and walked out quickly. With a flick of her wand, Amélie fixed the door for it to look as good as new.

As they walked back to the cells, alarms started ringing and many people in leathered coats started moving. As they all walked and rushed to get to the lobby, they bumped into the two wizards that were sent to die. They all understood each other with their eyes. Everyone asking questions like 'are you okay?' and 'what do we do now?' Queenie looked at her hand and moved up the case.

"Get in." She said and Tina, Newt and Jacob got into the case while the two other girls walked out towards the lobby again. Queenie made her pink coat appear with a flick of her wand as they walked into the lobby. They started walking downstairs when someone called the blonde girl. "I'll meet you at the entrance." Amélie nodded and simply walked out of the building. They met right outside seconds later.

"So? Where are we off to now?" Queenie offered a hand and Amélie took it, that's when they deapparated just to appear on top of another building. That's when the case was opened and the other three came out, moments later, they kept on moving and apparated on top of Jacob's building.

"Graves always insisted the disturbances were caused by a beast." Said Tina. "We need to catch all your creatures so he can't keep using them as a scapegoat."

"How many creatures are you missing, Mister Scamander?"Asked Élie.

"One. And, please, call me Newt." Rosier nodded with a smile. "Dougal, my Demiguise."

"Dougal?" Asked Tina and Newt chuckled while she simply smiled.

"Slight problem is that, um...he's invisible."

"What?" Asked Élie.
"Invisible?" Tina repeated at the unison.

"Yes." Said Newt. "Most of the time he does, um..."

"How do you catch something that's-?" Amélie started to ask.

"With immense difficulty." He answered.

"Oh." Exclaimed Tina. "Oh." It sounded like she had realised something. "Gnarlak." Everyone looked at her.

"Excuse me?" Asked Newt.

"Gnarlak. He was an informant of mine when I was an Auror. He used to trade in magical creatures on the side."

"He wouldn't happen to have an interest in paw prints, would he?"
