Newt was in Arizona, as Tina had tipped him off, that thunderbird smugglers were there trying to capture said magical beasts which the male wizard could not stand, plus Frank was helping because it reminded him of the past, so wanted to stop it happening to others of his specie seeing others of his species being chased by smugglers.

They will regret doing that, plus Newton will stop those jerks, like before, but I can free tnem from those shackles.

The male thunderbird was using his talons, to free the others of those shackles, while Newt was dealing with the smugglers, seeing them flying off, making him relieved that tne smugglers had lost seeing Newt there, stunned that Frank had cut through the shackles, using his talons making Frank wonder what was going to happen to those smugglers.

"MACUSA is dealing with them, you know?" Newt assured him, as they were leaving, letting MACUSA take things from here, knowing the Ministry of Magic back in England might not get why he had been here, so was keeping it from them and his brother, Thesus which Frank got, after what had happenedin Paris which Frank knew had not been his wizard's fault as they were back hoping that nobody had seen him or Frank.

It was also the beginning of the new year, and Christmas had been fun, with Kayley visiting along with Bolt, so Newt hoped thathis niece was alright at Hogwarts breathing deeply while makimg himself tea and for Frank as welk, seeing things were quiet which was good since he needed to go check on the other beasts in the basement hopimg the baby Nifflers had not caused too much chaos while he and Frank had been gone, seeing thevZouwu was asleep which was a good thimg.

He saw the baby Nifflers being calm for once and sleeping in tneir areas for once, seeing teaspoons in there, making Newt shake his head guessing their mother was encouraging their antics, which made him remember what happened in New York, when Nigel had nearly exposed herself and magic, just to get her paws on coins in a bank vault so hoped that the infant ones would not try the same thing when older, leaving them be.

After feeding the beasts tneir breakfast, Newt was going back upstairs, seeing Frank on the couch, wondering how things had gone, hearing him say that things were calm hoping that MACUSA was dealing with those thunderbird smugglers making Frank nervous, in case the Ministry of Magic found out that Newt had went to Arizona seeing him shake his head at the male thunderbird's anxiety, like when Frank had talked to a young Muggle girl.

"Yeah you have a point, but let's hope your brother does not know." Frank replied to him.

"He won't ashe and tne Ministry have more important things, to worry about." Newt responded, seeing owls bringing letters making Frank shake his head as it was fan mail from people tnat had read Newt's book which was a good thing, but also a bad thing because he knew Newt hated being the cenyre of attention hearing Pickett agree from Newt's jacket pocket.

"Yeah, but it helps tnem understand you guys, or how I see you." he said while writing using his quill to reply, putting tnem in envelopes putting wax stamps on the backs letting the owls take them, relieving him, drinking tea.
