The hooded fugitive continued running right up to the vicinity of Westminster. As she looked back at one side, she saw the police still chasing after her. When she looked at the other, there were the foursome and the Beatles on the chase as well. John exclaimed, "There she is!". This caused the fugitive to scream in horror. She tried to run away again, but Timothy put a stop to her da pulling her long jacket, which made her trip and fall. Eventually, the overloaded bag that she had been carrying ripped open, and out came the stolen pounds, some of the università staff's possessions, and of course, Rosie's and Nicholas' instruments. And the fugitive turned out to be Veronica herself! She shuddered as the foursome, the Beatles, and the police stared at her with arms crossed and angry expressions. George said, "Well, what do te have to say for yourself, thief?" Veronica stammered, "I...um...erm..." After a few minutes, one of the officers said, "You are under arrest for petty theft. te will be sentenced for a hundred years in jail." He then turned to the Beatles and the teenagers and told them, "As for all of you, te will be rewarded three thousand pounds as a thank te for helping us." Rosie replied, "Oh, that's really nice, sir!" Nicholas added, "We're glad to have helped you." "Indeed!" detto Paul. And with that, Veronica was handcuffed and taken away to New Scotland Yard. The foursome and the Beatles then returned the stolen pounds to the bank, and they placed the università possessions with the items that they bought from Harrods. Rosie and Nicholas held their instruments as the group walked back to the hotel. "I'm so glad to have our instruments back." detto Rosie. "I am, too, love." Replied Nicholas. "And te can play them in our concert!" Added Ringo. Rosie said, "Yes, definitely!" "Great! We will start practicing for Saturday's concerto tomorrow morning, so it's best for te to sleep early when we return." detto George. "All right!" Replied Rosie. And thus, a surge of excitement surrounded the group as they continued talking and cracking jokes. The foursome's mission has been accomplished at last.

Although the rumor had cooled down some, there were still some people who believed the rumor. Totally dispelling the rumor wasn't going to be easy. Madison and Connor continued to shield Alexandria from bullies. One day, Connor was unable to come to school, for he was battling a nasty cold. Madison was able to shield Alexandria from bullies, but it wasn't as easy without having Connor as a backup. Madison said, "It was actually terrifying to stand up to those bullies alone." Alexandria said, "I'm sure it was." Madison said, "I haven't had to do that in so long. I miss Connor." Alexandria said, "I miss him, too. I can't wait until he's better." A few days after the incident, Connor said, "I'm sorry I couldn't be there for te two." Madison said, "It's okay, Connor. te needed to rest and get well." Alexandria said, "That's right. I do hope you're feeling better now." He said, "I am." Pretty soon, Connor was back in school, helping Madison shield Alexandria from bullies.
