Before the Heir

Chapter 4: late night creature retrival

New York City No POV

Credence walked back home as he went in, the eldest daughter heard him come in as she was washing the dishes.

Mary:<sitting on the stairs> Crednece, where have you been?

Credence: I was looking for a place for tomorrow's meeting. There's a corner on 32nd street that could... I'm sorry, Ma. I didn't realize it was so late.

Mary didn't even need to say anything as Credence took off his belt and gave it to Mary as they both went upstairs. The youngest daughter stayed at the bottom of the stairs looking up.

Meanwhile in Central Park

A group of kids were ice skating on the frozen water just having fun until a rumbling made one of the kids fall and the rest just kept playing, a girl was going to help the boy as the rumbling continues and something glowing could be seen from under the ice moving as the kids all saw it.

With the Trio

Axel, Newt and Jacob were walking through the streets late at night.

Newt: I was watching you at dinner.

Jacob: yeah.

Newt: people like you, don't they, Mr. Kowalski?

Jacob; oh. Well, I'm sure people like you, too, huh?

Axel:<chuckles>

Newt: not really, no. I annoy people.

Jacob: but Axel...

Axel: I am one of the few people that can tolerate him enough to be his friend.

Jacob; ah.

Newt: why did you decide to be a baker?

Jacob: well, um... because I'm dying in that canning factory. Everyone there's dying. It just crushes the life out of you. Do you like canned food?

Newt: no.

Jacob: Axel?

Axel: I prefer if it's fresh or homemade so... no.

Jacob: yeah, me neither. That's why I wanna make pastries. You know, it makes people happy. We're going this way.

Newt: so did you get your loan?

Jacob: no.<scoffs> I ain't got no collateral. Stayed in the army too long, apparently. I don't know.

Newt: you fought in the war?

Jacob; of course I fought in the war. Everyone fought in the war. You didn't fight in the war?

Newt: I worked mostly with dragons. Ukrainian Ironbellies. Easter Front.

Jacob: and you, Axel?

Axel: I was a person given special assignments. These assignments included espionage and assassination. Not a very proud role.

Jacob; Queenie said you had a Tale?

Axel: I don't like talking about it, let's just say I killed a Dark Wizard in Russia that was planning to control the Tzar then after the war, he becomes the Tzar.

They stopped when Newt sees the thing that's supposed to cover the pipe in front of a car missing as he sees some jewels in the ground as he follows the trail. He was past a jewelry store window where the Niffler was staying still trying to act like a jewel display.

Newt backtracked on his steps to see the Niffler inside as the jewels on his arm falls as he looks at Newt slowly before grabbing the jewels and then running away further into the store.
