The three young Aurors apparated onto the Muggle pier, wands at the ready. Jessica Goyle spotted the Muggle flash fire first.

"There's Dean," Hans Malfoy said as he pulled both Ronda and Jessica out of the way of a wayward stunning curse. The three Wizarding folk made their way quickly over to the Half-blood London Police Muggle Liaison.

"We have two Muggle security guards down; both unconscious," Dean Thomas, Jr. said as he fired his handgun at the Death Eaters. "Two of our guys are wounded. We took out three of their guys, though."

Ronda Potter hurled a few offensive spells at the remaining three Death Eaters. "What the hell are they doing here?" she asked as Hans blocked a few of the Death Eaters' curses with his Protego charm.

"Pier security called London Police regarding strange characters attempting to steal a container," Dean said as he fired off another couple of rounds. "Detective Chief Inspector Horowitz thought it would be best to send us."

The London Police Muggle Liaison Office, a trusted group made up of ten Wizarding Squibs, was one of only a handful of divisions that were allowed to use lethal weapons during its operations. The rationale behind that line of thinking was that the only thing that would be able to stop crimes committed by Wizarding folk was with deadly force.

"We need to corral those three," Dean said.

"We'll handle that," Ronda said nodding at Hans and Jessica. "You get to your men and call in Medical Services."

The three Aurors hurled offensive spells at the Death Eaters. They moved from their position as they gave chase.

The youngest Goyle sibling took the path to the left, chasing after one of the Death Eater wizards. Hans went to the right after the witch. The ginger haired Auror chased after the last hooded figure down the central corridor created by shipping containers piled high on either side.

"Expelliarmus!" Ronda hurled the disarming charm at the wizard ahead of her.

The wizard was thrown off his feet, stumbling to a halt. He looked back at the Ministry Auror, their eyes locked for a moment. He felt for the sheathed dagger on his belt. He spotted it, a good meter from him, a few meters from her. He searched for his wand. He reared backwards as she approached. He grabbed the wand with his deformed right hand and sent the stunning curse her way. She was barely able to avoid the curse which nicked her, rendering her unable to move for a moment. She watched as the Death Eater rose to his feet and disapperated.

"Are you alright?" Hans asked rushing over to her. He helped her up.

"Shit," she said under her breath as she dusted herself off. "He got away."

"Yeah, mine too," the platinum blonde Auror said.

"Let's double back to Jess," Ronda said. "Maybe she had better luck."

With disillusionment charms and the silencing spell Muffliato, both Muggle and Wizarding law enforcement teams were able to process the crime scene in privacy. Lauren Thomas, lead official from the Department of Mysteries apparated into the crime scene along side Obliviator Blaise Zabini, Jr. who was on his way to the Muggle hospital. The pair arrived fifteen minutes after the initial call from the London Police Muggle Liaison and one minute after receiving the Patronus signaling the all clear from Auror Ronda Potter.

"Sis," the tall black Half-blood Squib came over where the two newcomers appeared.

"Dean, what have we got here?" Lauren asked as his younger brother approached followed by Hans and Ronda.

"Your Wizarding world hijinx has spilled into the Muggle world," the Muggle liaison replied. His sister smirked at him.

"Where are the Muggles?" the Obliviator asked.

"The two security guards are on their way to Saint Augustine's," Dean said. "Dr. Malfoy's already been made aware of the situation."

"Okay. I'm off then." Blaise said nodding and then disappeared with a crack leaving the rest of the law enforcement teams to finish processing the scene.

Ronda handed the evidence bag to Lauren. She studied the sheathed weapon within the bag. "Is this for real?" she asked as she used a levitation spell to remove the weapon from the bag and in turn the dagger from its sheath.

"We were hoping you would be able to tell us," Ronda nodded at the weapon.

Lauren turned the dagger in midair. She blew out a breath as she saw the letters engraved into the blade. "We need to get this back to the lab so I can authenticate it."

"We'll accompany you back to the Ministry," Auror Jessica Goyle nodded at the Department of Mysteries official. She held the Mobilicorpus spell on the lone Death Eater prisoner. "We need to interrogate this guy anyway."

"We'll have the lab check for biological marker evidence on the dagger first. Maybe we can figure out where it's been the past thirteen years away from the Department of Mysteries," Lauren said as she replaced the dagger into its sheath and back into the evidence bag.

"Maybe this git will shed some light on what happened tonight," Dean said nodding at the prisoner.

"We can only hope," Lauren said.

"Hey, be careful alright," Dean squeezed his sister's hand. "I'll see you at Mum and Dad's tomorrow for the usual Saturday dinner."

"Right back at you," she nodded at him. "Stay safe."

With that, the three apparated back to the Ministry.

"What the hell is going on?" Hans asked as he cast Priori Incantatum on one of the dead Death Eater's wands. He blew out a breath.

"Evanesco?" Ronda asked as she too cast the same spell on the other wand.

Hans nodded. He turned to Dean, "What was stolen?"

Dean showed the wizard the shipping manifest. "Muggle assault rifles and handguns confiscated by Interpol set to be shipped off to the U.S. for destruction and disposal."

"Do we know the quantity of arms that were in the container?" Ronda asked.

"Two hundred assault rifles and five hundred handguns," Hans answered as he looked at the document.

"This is not good is it?" Ronda said looking at the two who shook their heads.

"What the bloody hell are we in for?" Dean asked.
