After settling everything at the Ministry, Magnus first arrived in London, it was a sunny day, looking very cheerful and clean, not really matching to what they were doing. He needed to find a way to get the police involved in this case, so that he doesn't have to deal with all the statements and annoying legal things later.
"Why are we here, sir?" Adrian asked him.
"To find a cop, his name is Tom. He was a constable a few years ago, I wonder if he was promoted. He told me he wished to someday be awarded by the queen, I guess his wish will be fulfilled now." Magnus revealed.
After looking around a little, Magnus finally saw the man. It seemed Tom had started working out and he didn't look fat anymore. He was in his uniform, eating a snack while sitting on a bench.
"Well, it seems he's been promoted one rank. Now he's a Sergeant." Adrian said, noticing the insignia.
"Let's go and talk to him. I wonder if he remembers me." Magnus muttered and walked forwards. Now Tom had a stubble beard on his face and his eyes seemed to have dark circles. Magnus only remembered him from the time he was lost, he hadn't heard of him ever since.
"Excuse me, Uncle Tom." He voiced.
Tom was tired after a whole night of running around the city due to work, only now he had got to eat something. But, this was after such a long time someone called him Uncle Tom.
He looked up and saw a boy. He felt like he had seen him before but couldn't pinpoint. Magnus had changed a lot since his height and body changed, even his face had a scar on his right eye.
He politely asked, "Yes, how can I help you?"
Magnus chuckled, "Did you not recognise me? The lost boy you found sleeping in that park?"
Slowly, Tom's face changed and a big smile appeared. For some reason, he seemed very happy. "AH, I remember you... how can I forget that day, Inspector's pocket had caught fire for some reason. How are you, umm... Magnus, right?"
Magnus appreciated that Tom remembered his name, a good quality for a policeman. "I'm fine. Congratulations on getting promoted. I knew you would become a big cop someday. Maybe even the Commissioner someday."
Tom embarrassingly rubbed his head. He remembered he had confessed his big dreams to Magnus that day. He was new to the department, so he had no idea how promotions worked.
"We'll see, what about you? Oh... I remember the news about you a few years ago, you saved some kids in a burning bus and got a medal from the queen. I told my friends that I knew you but they did not believe me." Tom rambled about his life.
Magnus kept smiling. He could only imagine what Tom's face will be when he takes the throne. He will be able to boast for his whole life, that he had saved the King when he was young and got lost.
"Yes, I also completed my school. But, uncle, quick quick, I need your help. I think I saw a suspicious building, I could hear the cries of many children from there. Let's go quickly." Magnus urged him.
The small sandwich immediately fell from his hand. "WHAT? I've been looking for a kidnapped daughter of a prosecutor. She's just 10 and was picked up yesterday evening while returning from her dance class. Quick, take me to that building."
Magnus nodded. "Follow me, we brought a car with us."
They immediately jumped into the White Range Rover that Abe had brought there not long ago. He had returned after that as his duty was to keep Adam and Grace safe.
"Who are you?" Tom asked Adrian.
"I am Adrian Durian, CEO of MEDA." He introduced himself and put forward his hand.
Tom was frozen, of course, he knew the name of MEDA. They have been so helpful in solving many cases. Even now, the police had unofficially asked MEDA for help as this child kidnapping case was too high profile.
"Woah, even the CEO has come out to work. No wonder your company is so good. Let's go." Tom praised and got in the car.
Adrian just nodded and started driving fast. He didn't tell him that Magnus was the owner of the company. Magnus, though, was unhappy that he was made to sit in the backseat.
Adrian drove very fast, heading somewhere outside of London city, in the outskirts of Surrey.
"Wait, I thought it would be close by," Tom exclaimed as he held the roof handle of the car.
"It's not too far away, Uncle Tom," Magnus assured him.
After about 20 minutes of fast driving, they arrived at the area. It seemed to be mainly farmland, with various houses in distances. They could not go there directly as it would alert people, so they ditched the car and went on foot.
"Is this the house?" Tom asked as he took out a standard revolver to check the bullets and keep it ready.
[A/N: Note that the police in the United Kingdom are heavily restricted from carrying firearms. Only about 17% of officer carry a gun in London. But, as Tom is a Sergeant, he can oversee who gets to take the guns, and can also keep one.]
Magnus looked at the revolver and thought, ~Just hope that there are no wizards, or else this will be useless. Tsk... I hope I haven't jinxed it now.~
Magnus and Adrian kept their wands ready to start at any time. Magnus had also cast a few charms on himself and Tom, to make sure they were not discovered so easily before they got close.
Adrian was already an expert in everything, he was an auror and now into detective work, so Magnus let him lead with Tom. He had their backs covered.
"Shhh..." They crouched as soon as they arrived behind the building. It was a big concrete building, that was probably some kind of an office before. It was decently large but all its doors and windows had been sealed. As far as they could see, there was nobody outside the building. Even the area around the building was desolate.
"You heard the kids here?" Tom asked them.
Magnus silently focused and tried to hear the noises in the surrounding area. Then, he suddenly prone on the ground and put his ear on it.
"Got them, they are underground. I can hear their cries and pleas." Magnus noticed.
Immediately Tom and Adrian also crouched and put their ears on the ground. Soon, they also heard them.
"Okay, how are we going to do this?" Magnus asked, but he had already discussed it with Adrian.
So Adrian started, "Simple, you and Magnus go through the front while I enter from the back. We don't know how many there are but we must save the kids quickly."
Tom nodded but then looked at Magnus, "We can't take him inside, it'll be dangerous."
~Yes, for you.~ Magnus thought.
"Come on, uncle, did you forget I was able to bend steel rods in that burning bus? I was 9 then, now I am much stronger. Look, I even brought a metal baseball bat to beat them. You can be in front of me, while I stay behind." Magnus proposed.
The thing was, Magnus was not as small as he should be in terms of height. So it created an illusion for Tom that made Magnus look older.
"Okay then, you will stay behind me. Let's go." They got up.
Adrian was going to apparate inside the building and start dealing with them quickly. Now there was no doubt that this place was where the kids were kept.
Magnus and Tom went to the front door. But as Tom was about to knock on it, Magnus stopped him.
"Stop, I will knock, with a childish voice. They might not open if they hear you." He reasoned.
Then, Magnus used some force and knocked on the door. He made the cutest voice he could, "Please, let me in, please..."
Tom held himself from coughing as he choked on his saliva. Magnus almost sounded like a girl moaning while doing the deed.
Magnus though was satisfied by his girly voice. ~I bet I can fool Rag and Sev. Hehe, I should totally prank Sirius and James with this. Remus might be too smart to fall for it though.~
*KSHHH...*
The doorknob started to turn with a creek. Tom immediately pulled Magnus behind him and hid his gun, but still had it ready in his pant pocket.
The door slowly opened and a man appeared, about 30, medium build, with brown hair and nearly as tall as Tom. His pupil dilated immediately as he saw the police officer.
"Yes, how can I help you?" He asked rudely.
"Do you live here?" Tom asked.
"No, I come here to shit every day, of course, I live here. Go away now, don't bother me." He tried to huff them away and close the door. He smelled something wrong with the mix of Magnus and the cop.
...
But, just as that was happening, Adrian had entered the building. He was silently knocking men out. But, the whole building was like a maze and he was having to move around to find people.
However, when he entered one room, there turned out to be a small stash of weapons, and 4 men were playing cards there. They saw Adrian and immediately picked up their large guns.
