After entering at the arrival terminal, Vaishnavi spent 10 minutes finding a place to park her car.

"Vaishnavi, tell me one thing." Sid said.
"Hmmm?"
"Do Brett and Eddy know us?"
"Yeah."
"I meant would they recognise us?"
"Oh like that. No."
"Do you have your phone, a pen and paper?"
"Let me see. I have them. What are you thinking?"

The plane landed in Brisbane at 8:30am.
The passengers were told that their suitcases would arrive at belt 1.

Eddy and Brett reached belt 1 a little early.
10 minutes passed by and no suitcases arrived.

Ping. Eddy recieved a message on his phone.

8:40am
Sid: Hi! I and Vaishnavi, we're coming to the airport to pick you both.

8:45am
Hey! Thank you so much!

8:46am
Sid: No problem! We're standing at arrival gate number 5.

8:48am
Ok. We'll be there in 15 minutes.

8:50am
Sid: No worries. Take your time.

"Sid and Vaishnavi are waiting for us at the arrival gate number 5." Eddy said.
"Oh!" Brett said.

After they collected their suitcases, Brett and Eddy walked towards arrival gate number 5.
When they exited, there was a huge crowd of people waiting for their friends and families.
Out of the crowd, one placard stood out.
On a paper, there was a logo that Brett and Eddy could never forget.
The twoset logo.
They waved towards where the placard was.

"They saw us!" Vaishnavi said.
"Oh great!" Sid exclaimed.

After moving out of the crowd, Vaishnavi and Sid met Brett and Eddy.
"That was a good idea!" Eddy said.
"Yeah! Good thinking!" Brett said.
"Thanks!" Sid and Vaishnavi said.

The four walked all the way back to the place where Vaishnavi parked her car. And after keeping all the luggages they got in the car and exited the parameters of the airport back to the uni.

On the way back,
"Does Vacy know that you're here?" Sid asked.
"He wanted us to come here." Brett said.
"What?" Vaishnavi questioned.
"We solved two lines of the riddle.
The first line: come with your crowd. Crowd means violin." Brett spoke.
"Oh really! I never knew that!" Vaishnavi exclaimed.
"And what does Vacy mean by saying Vegas of the South?" Sid asked.
"The second line: Reach the Vegas of the South, meaning Brisbane." Eddy said.
Vaishnavi and Sid looked at each other in surprise.
"How did you solve?" Vaishnavi said.
"We'll tell you on the way." Eddy said.

"Before I forget, do you both have anything to disguise?" Sid asked.
Brett and Eddy were confused.
"The reason why Sid asked was when we left for the airport Vacy followed us. He doesn't know that you're coming to uni." Vaishnavi said.

"On top of that we have another competition tomorrow morning. Our group was selected as the top three." Sid said.
"Oh wow! Congratulations!" Brett exclaimed.
"Congratulations!" Eddy also exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Sid and Vaishnavi replied.

"And yeah, we might have something to disguise." Brett said looking at the violin cases of his and Eddy's.
"So, what's the plan?" Sid asked.
"We're going back to uni." Eddy said.
