Dean bought a musketeer costume.

Night fell, and the party began.

In front of the party room, Abbie and Megan were selling tickets for the party.

After the tickets were sold, Abbie and Megan put the money they had collected in a room.

But something was strange.

Dean saw someone wearing a musketeer costume who seemed to be watching the room where the money was kept.

And it turned out that Dean's suspicions were correct; the musketeer stole the money.

Dean immediately chased after the person dressed as a musketeer.

Unexpectedly, the person behind the musketeer costume was Troy, the clerk at the clothing store where Dean bought his costume.

Dean was caught by Troy, who then held him captive. Fortunately, he was able to send a message to Abbie before he was captured.

Abbie, on the other hand, was shocked to find that the money was gone when she went to check it. Abbie immediately went to look for Dean, but she couldn't find him. She quickly checked her phone and saw Dean's message. After that, she immediately went to the costume shop. Megan, who saw Abbie, followed her with Mr. Alcott.

Dean, who realized Abbie was there, told Abbie to take the money back and leave the place.

Abbie took the money back, but she didn't leave immediately; she wanted to save Dean.

Troy, who had finished his call, realized the money was gone and noticed Abbie was hiding.

Troy threatened Abbie that he would hurt Dean if she didn't give him his money back.

Troy did this because he was afraid of someone named Kray.

To make matters worse, Kray arrived, complicating the situation.

Kray demanded the money he wanted from Troy.

Troy, not knowing what to do, said frankly that the money was with Abbie.

Kray threatened Abbie, who was hiding, that he would hurt Dean if Abbie didn't give him the money.

Fortunately, before Kray could act, Megan and Mr. Alcott arrived, along with several police officers.

They managed to find Dean, but couldn't immediately rescue him because of Kray.

Abbie, seeing an opportunity, attacked Kray with a sword.

Kray, caught off guard, dropped his gun.

They used that opportunity to capture Kray and Troy, and didn't forget to free Dean.

They got their money back and were able to go on their school trip.
