After avoiding Vacy as much as possible, the four reached Sid's room.
"Nice room!" Vaishnavi said.
"Thanks!" Sid replied.

The suitcases were brought in and was kept in the corner of the room.
"Thank you so much for helping." Eddy said.
"You both have helped a lot." Brett said.
"Come on! Anything to help you both!" Vaishnavi said.
"Yeah!" Sid said.
"I am making coffee, anyone wants?" Vaishnavi asked.
"Would love to try your 'bru' coffee!" Brett said.
The four laughed.
"I'll also have!" Eddy exclaimed.
"Me too!" Sid also exclaimed.

While having coffee,
"The coffee is amazing!" Brett said.
"Yeah. It's too good!" Eddy said.
"This one is always my favourite." Vaishnavi said.
"Oh! It just occurred to me, aren't you both missing your classes?" Eddy asked.
"We have classes till 1pm. We'll cover it up later." Vaishnavi said.
"You cannot miss your classes because of us!" Brett exclaimed.
"And on top, you have to practice for tomorrow's competition?" Eddy asked.
"Oh yeah. That too." Sid said.
"You both go attend your classes, we'll be fine." Brett said.
"Really?" Sid asked.
"Are you sure?" Vaishnavi also questioned.
"Yeah." Brett and Eddy said.
"The cafeteria is not far from here, it's just downstairs." Vaishnavi spoke.
"Ok." The two violinists replied.

When Sid and Vaishnavi left the room,
Brett suddenly realised, "Oh! We forgot to call Bella!!!"
Eddy immediately called Bella.
"Hello?" Eddy spoke.
"What happened? Your flight landed around 1 hour ago." Bella said.
"Sorry Bella, we forgot to call you. Sid and Vaishnavi came to pick us up at the airport." Brett said.
"Oh! Where are you now?"
"We're in the uni. In Sid's room." Eddy said.
"Oh. Any progress on the riddles?" Bella asked.
"Oh yeah. We solved two lines." Brett said.
"How?"

The two explained to Bella how the riddles were solved.
"Wow. What a coincidence! You came to Brisbane to confront Vacy and he wanted you both to come here?" Bella was surprised.
"I know." Eddy said.
"We cannot figure out the third riddle.
'Find the corner of grey'." Brett said.
"Oh. Let me do some search and I'll get back to you?" Bella asked.
"Yeah." Eddy said.

Notifications came on Eddy and Brett's phones.
Both sighed deeply while reading the email.
