"Afternoon Mr. Graves, sir." Abernathy said, straightening up and looking at Tina and Celeste one last time.

"Afternoon, uh, Abernathy." Graves said lethargically.

"Mr. Graves sir, this is Mr. Scamander. He has a crazy crea--"

"No! He doesn't!" Celeste cut in, jumping in front of Tina.

 "Yes. He does. And it got out and caused mayhem in a bank." Tina informed Graves.

"Not mayhem or anything it just may have stolen a few things but Newt took care of that and--"

"Edgecombe," Graves silenced, and Celeste stopped talking, looking down. "let's see the little guy."

Tina let out a nervous smile and turned to look at Newt one last time before taking his case and placing it on a table.

"M-Mr. G--" Graves held up his hand and Newt immediately stopped speaking, looking in worry at Celeste as Abernathy, Graves, and Tina walked over to a desk where Tina placed the case down.

"I tried." Celeste mouthed at Newt, shrugging in guilt as they both turned their heads to see Tina open the case.

Opening it, Celeste and Newt in surprise saw that instead of magical creatures roaming in the case, there was sections of pastries.

Newt, Celeste, and Tina looked at each other in confusion.

"Ooh, can I have one?" Celeste asked, being the first one to break the eye contact, but getting a few incredulous looks. "What? I'm hungry..."

Graves looked disappointed as he turned away, walking out without a word, closely followed by Abernathy.

Tina looked dejected.

Newt was worried.

Celeste was just overly hungry. She grabbed a croissant from the case quickly before Tina closed the case, and they all left MACUSA headquarters to go look for the muggle.

"I can't believe you didn't Obliviate that man. If theres an enquiry then we're finished." Tina said.

"So why would you be finished? I'm the one--"

"We're not supposed to go near the Second Salemers." 

A buzzing noise filled the air, and Celeste turned her head to see a billywig flying around the air.

Tina stared at Newt and Celeste's backs for a moment, then caught up with them. "What was that?"

"A--" Celeste started.

"--moth I think, big moth."

Tina, lagging behind, didn't hear when Celeste muttered to Newt. "And you're a big liar."

Newt hid his smile.

They kept walking until they spotted a neighborhood with people evacuating, with a huge hole planted on the apartment.

Yells and cries could be heard, as Newt, Celeste, and Tina all followed the crowd curiously. 

"It was a gigantic, huge, hippopotta--gaass..." A man trailed off to the police when Newt secretly Obliviated him, and the shouting started again as Celeste Apparated to the hole in the building once she got into the apartment.

Celeste gasped, running to the muggle she had seen earlier.

He groaned a bit, trying to swat Celeste's arm off as she tried to look at the muggle for any injuries. There was a murtlap bite on his neck.
