Poppy paced back and forth down in the bunker as she awaited her group of friends to show up. She knew they would help her figure this out. She just needed to find out who the real thief was and then Branch could finally come home...

     With a soft gasp, she suddenly remembered something, a brilliant idea popping into her head...

     Branch had set up security cameras all over the village to ensure the troll's safety. Maybe one of them caught the actual culprit!

     Quickly, she ran into Branch's surveillance room, searching frantically through every second of everyday before Branch was taken to jail for a crime he didn't commit...

     "Bingo!" the queen of pop suddenly shouted out, finally finding what she was searching for.

     The video showed a troll that looked a lot like Branch walking stealthily through the forest, but Poppy would know her husband anywhere... and that troll... the troll she was currently watching... that wasn't him...

     "Guys!" she shouted out, swinging open to the welcome hatch. "I know who did it! It was Cre..."

     But her statement was interrupted when she realized who was actually standing on her doorstep... the last troll she ever expected to see there...

     "Officer Sparkleton?" she questioned, the red glitter troll giving her a sorrowful look as he held his hat respectfully in his hands...

     "Queen Poppy..." he said softly, a few tears sparkling in his eyes, causing Poppy's heart to sink deep into the pit of her stomach, dreading what she was about to hear... "It's Branch... there was a... incident... in the courtyard. He... he's..." He sighed, lowering his head so he was no longer looking the pink pop troll in the eyes. "He's gone..."
