"Has no one noticed this mess?" (Name) asked as she looked around with her mouth hanging slightly open. Newt had looked around, seeing some kind of police tape on the large gate that closed off the exhibit. "No, I think they have." He had said before pointing to the gate. (Name) turned to look at it with a frown on her face. She sighed before rubbing her face and looking around. "Alright, so now what?" She asked as she crossed her arms tightly over her chest. Newt loosened and tightened his grip on the handle of his case in a nervous manner. 

Newt's lips were pursed as he looked around the room. His searching had went to a halt as he heard the familiar screech of his thunderbird. Relief fell over Newt as he put his free hand over his chest, a smile on his face. "Thank god." He had breathed out while he opened his case, setting it onto the floor.  He slowly stood up and put his hands up, walking towards the exhibit. "NEWT!" (Name) had whisper yelled with her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes narrowed. Newt turned to look at her and tilted his head.

"What are you doing!?" She had once again whisper yelled. Newt had just ignored her this time, turning forward and now climbing into the exhibit. The glass that had originally separated the people from the creatures. Newt just stepped onto the glass, the crunch of the glass echoing through the room. (Name) had opened her mouth to call Newt again, but she decided against it and simply closed her mouth. "Frank?" Newt called out, his voice echoing through the room.

"Frank? What is it, a lizard?" (Name) asked and snickered at her own comment. Newt had looked back at her with pursed lips and a glare. "It's not a lizard." He said in a mocking tone before turning back forward. The girl mouthed what Newt said in a complete mockery, with another loud screech. Newt got sight of Frank, flying down in an elegant manner. A Phoenix looking creature with six large and golden wings flew violently, a storm rapidly growing above head. "That....is not a lizard." (Name) said breathlessly as rain began pouring. Inside the room. She had her eyes wide as she looked forward at the creature with her hair matting down against her head.

Pickett made a few angered squeaks as his head got wet. It seemed this was a common occurrence at this point. "Sh, shh! It's alright, mummy's here. Mummy's here." Newt said as he put his hands up in the direction of the thunderbird. Frank had flew down with three rough flaps of his six wings, blowing Newt's matted hair over his eye. He quickly brushed the wet hair off his forehead before swallowing nervously, taking a cautious and slow step over to Frank.

"Frank, it's okay. It's okay. It's just (Name) and I. She's very sweet." Newt said as he looked over his shoulder. The girl had a dumbfounded look on her face as she stared at the creature before Newt. She did not even dare to bother to fix a strand of her hand running through the center of her face almost comically. Newt could not help the smile twitching upon his lips as he looked at her. Frank had looked at her for moments before slowly walking over.

Newt's eyes had widened. Frank was not the social type creature, and the mere idea of Frank socializing with the muggle was impossible in his mind. "Don't hurt-" He began while he reached an arm forward. But, he stopped himself. Frank had rubbed his large head against (Name) in a puppy like manner. Newt's mouth gaped while he stared at them, (Name) hesitantly and shakily petting the beasts head.  A smile slowly grew on Newt's face. No amount of words could possibly describe the overwhelming happiness in his chest. He moved the case closer to Frank. With little effort, Newt had guided the beast into the case with a smile.

"You'll be home soon, Frank. I swear to you." He said softly, before he turned to (Name). He had smiled softly while he moved the stand that sat in the center of her face behind her ear. She stared at him with a softness and curiosity in her eyes. "Hey, you there!" A voice called as they had hit the gate. Newt shot his head over to the man who stood there. A muggle officer.

With a grin on his face, he began running with his hand in hers.
