We all started the next day a bit sleepy and slightly hungover, but still in a good mood. Louis, Ed and Linda had made breakfast and while the ten of us squeezed around the table in the living room, Roxanne was already explaining her new plan.

"As much as I appreciate our social gathering yesterday..."

"...It's called a party, Roxy," Louis interrupted her and Roxy threw a grape at him, which he fished out of his hair laughing.

"Thank you, Louis. So, I haven't been idle and I wanted to present you the latest investigation results already. First of all, about our medical evaluations. We all know, of course, that they're bogus, but I've also been able to find the man we have to thank for them."

"Wait, you found our medical reports? How did you do that?" asked Avery in surprise.

"I hacked into his computer using Ed's. It's interesting what a little Trojan can do, if you just cover it up properly," Roxanne grinned triumphantly.

"Remind me never to mess with you, Roxanne," Liam said, seriously impressed, and I inwardly agreed with him.

"You all already have, but don't worry, I wouldn't hack you unless I considered you a threat," Roxanne replied like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Good to know," Harry muttered.

"Back to the subject at hand. I found the supposed doctor who wrote and signed our evaluation," Roxanne explained.

"Wait, this guy really exists?" asked Zayn now surprised.

"Indeed he does, and he's actually a doctor. His name is Ivar Hermansen. However, he has been prohibited from medical practice for about 4 ½ years. That's because our good doctor has a gambling problem for about 6 years now, and as a result he has gotten himself into a lot of debt. And to get out of debt, he started to increase the medical bills of his patients by about 20%. At some point they found out about it and his license was revoked. So I can well imagine that he is making up these reports and signing them in exchange for payment from Hempton. That way he can pay off his debt one by one," Roxy finished her narrative.

"Wow, apart from Ed, is there actually anyone in this camp who has heard of any legislation?", I asked now seriously doubtful.

"I would say the words 'law', 'fair' or 'decent' are generally not in their vocabulary," Niall answered my question.

"I think we can all agree on that," Zayn grumbled.

"Okay, since we all know how thorough you are, is everything we have enough for a sentence against him as well?", Avery now probed.

Roxanne raised her eyebrows as if she had just been deeply insulted before nodding.

"Yep, plus I've already organized who our evidence will be sent to and how and when we'll get back home. Since they're looking for all of us, it might be wise to go back in groups so we don't get noticed so quickly."

"Okay, are we going back in the same groups as before?"

"Not necessarily. Daisy, I'd send you back with Linda and Liam. Avery, you go back to Amsterdam, Harry, you go with Louis and Zayn and then that just leaves me and Niall."

"But if they're looking for us in the city, how can we fly back? Surely the police will be looking there too?"

"Yeah, but I've already taken care of everything. We won't be flying by plane, but by buses and trains, and I'll request the tickets under Ed's name."

Ed, who had only been listening so far, looked at Roxy with raised eyebrows.

"And what money will we use to pay for the tickets? I mean, a trip to Amsterdam or England by train can't be cheap," Liam interjected.
