Hang on, Héctor, he's got you. He hates that they have to get this freaking amulet that's clearly going to hurt Héctor and also himself, but is there any other way to do it? They need a place to hide and regroup where the Hollow won't find him. Is the influence of the amulet enough to reach through the wall? He can definitely feel it. Maybe that's enough to cover them without having to actually break into this shop.
So - still holding onto Héctor, he bursts the padlock on the dumpster and throws it open. Luckily for them it seems to be mostly clean; Peter shoves the rest of it out onto the ground, sorry about your mess. Then he shoves it back up against the wall, right up to the spot where the amulet is. Good enough. Going to have to work.
"C'mon," he says climbing into the dumpster with Héctor. "Almost there. Stay with me..." He carefully puts the skeleton down against one of the few remaining bags of garbage; it seems reasonably soft and not gross. And then he turns back to the lip of the dumpster, carefully grabbing the edges of the lid and crimping it down. There. Now nothing can get in here for a hot second.
