[Newt's had a busy night. It's taken a fair amount of time to set the stage—ransacking the lab, dismantling the generator, rigging up the trap in the fun house... But it's finally time to go find Hector. This is the nervewracking part of it all. Once the plan is underway, Newt will feel better, but for now, he's jittery. It's annoying. Maybe if he'd had more time to plan...
Whatever. It doesn't matter now. He heads for the school to begin the search, but he stops short when he spots something moving on the football field. Uh oh. Another murder? This could give him a leg up at the trial if he manages to stay unseen.
He ducks behind the bleachers to watch, but it doesn't take him long to realize what he's seeing: It's Hector, and he's... Digging? And that sure is a body next to him. Huh.
Newt should just lay low until Hector's done with whatever he's doing. Hide, get the jump on him as he's leaving, and kite him into the trap as planned. But, dammit, he can't fight the curiosity. If nothing else, confronting the guy will just speed things along. They don't have all fucking night.]
I gotta say, I'm impressed. Didn't think you had it in you.
[Newt approaches with his hands in his jacket pockets, fingers gripping the mirror shard just in case.]
Then again, you are one of Ruin's, so I can't be too surprised.
