"Holmes?" Watson called once he walked into the apartment. "Holmes?" he called again as he led Newton into the room. Watson sighed when he knew that his friend was hiding. "Ok Holmes. I know where you are," Watson said as he led Newton over to a chair and sat him down. Then he looked around and then laughed when he saw where his friend was. He always sat on the chair by the door. Watson smiled to himself when he saw Holmes in one of his 'disguises.'
"Well done Watson. You are getting good at this," the voice of Sherlock Holmes said as he took off his disguise and smiled as his friend took off his brown coat and waistcoat.
"I need your help Holmes," Watson said as he looked over to Newton who had fallen asleep. Holmes hummed and looked at the boy.
"You found him in an alleyway," Watson nodded and sighed as he looked at the boy over once again. Holmes nodded to himself and said: "He was attacked by some animal but he like the animal. So, it seems that he likes animals. Even though some can attack him. The boys miss his brother you can tell by the tear stains on his face," Watson nodded and looked at Holmes.
"His name is Newton. He said that he ran away from home because he was mad at his brother, but he did not say why," Holmes hummed again and looked at Newton.
"Father issues," Watson nodded as he looked at Holmes and smiled a little. However, it was a sad smile at this fact.
"What do you think we should do Holmes?" Watson asked as he sat down and picking up the paper. Holmes hummed and then nodded to himself.
"Let's wait until he wakes up. I think you should look at
"At his leg? I think I should do that now," Watson said as he got off his chair and pulled out his medical bag. "This won't take long. Do drink anything from this bag," Watson warmed him once he opened it. Holmes rolled his eyes and pulled out his pipe and watched as Watson looked over the boy.
Theseus sighed and looked around his brother's room one more time as he stood at the door. He had just finished Newt's journal and he knows Newt really needs help more than ever. "Don't worry Newt. I'm coming to find. I will find you," Theseus said to himself as he grabbed his wand and left the room. Then as he was leaving the house a knock came on the door and Theseus let out a sharp breath. "Newt?" Theseus said to himself as panic formed inside. Theseus sighed and opened the door slowly with his heart hammering in his chest: Hand shaking as he opened the door. However, in the doorway was not Newt. Theseus felt tears burning in his eyes when he saw Mr. Crane in the doorway.
"Hello, Mr. Scamander. Um, I just came over to ask if you and Newton would like to come over for dinner? You guys have been through a lot and I think…..." Theseus smiled cutting him off and then nodded however Mr. Crane could see a mix of sadness and anger in his eyes as he did so. "Are you ok Mr. Scamander?" Mr. Crane asked as Theseus simply nodded and made his way to shut the door however he stopped with his hand on the doorknob and started to cry. Mr. Crane saw this and walked into the house unsure what to do. However, Theseus calmed down a little and said:
"Newt ran away. I can't…this is my…...my fault…...I…..." Theseus trailed off as tears filled his voice. Mr. Crane looked at him and sighed.
"I can help you find him. don't worry I'm sure he's fine. Newton is a smart kid," Theseus half smiled at this and nodded slowly. "First let's go to the police station. I know the muggles can't really help, but I think Newton is somewhere in Muggle London," Theseus looked at him and sighed knowing that he was right.
"Alright. Let's go. I hope Newt did not get into any trouble," Theseus said with a small laugh, but it was filled with pain and a little bit of anger as they both left the house in search of Newt.
Newt woke with a start and looked around. He was in an old apartment, well it seemed old to Newt. There were two men talking behind him. Newt knew the voice of the doctor, what was his name? Newt does not remember and then there was a new voice it was quiet and filled with mischief and curiosity. Newt smiled to himself, but he let out a shaky breath that Watson heard. "Holmes. He's awake. Hello there, do you remember me?" Watson asked Newt who sighed and nodded slowly but he kept his eyes to the ground to avoid showing the tears that were still in his eyes. "How are you feeling?" Watson asked Newt who looked at Holmes and sighed but he did not say anything, and Watson knew at this point that Newton did not like people very much.
"Are you going to….to help me find…. find my brother?" Newt asked with fear dripping from his voice. The shorter man heard this and sighed as he looked at the doctor.
"Of course. Right Holmes?" The man- Holmes nodded and looked at Newt. "What is your brother's name?" Watson asked as he got down to Newton's level and smiled when Newt smiled a little and said:
"Theseus, sir, Theseus Scamander sir. Please, he's all…. all I have left," Watson and Holmes hum at this and then they both realized that Newt does not have any other family. However, before Watson could ask about him Holmes raised an eyebrow.
"Your brother's name is Theseus?" he asked the boy who slowly nodded unaware of what Holmes was doing with his hands because he was looking at Watson's cane. Newt smiled proudly and nodded.
"Yes. That is his name. I…I got mad at him because he was watching like my father that, well left when I was nine," Newt said to these two men that he does not even know. However, they are helping him so they must be nice. Right? Newt sighed and winced at his leg. 'Muggles.' He thought as Holmes was going to tell him something when Newt looked at the when he heard a nock.
"I'll get it, Holmes. Can you watch him?" Holmes nodded as Watson walked to the door. In the doorway stood Mycroft Holmes.
