He exhaled to calm himself down and quickly put a fresh new smile on his face.
"You are right. We are indeed here for a reason. But that reason is also to see you, so do not get us wrong," he said. "Anyways." He pulled out Avelina's photo from the pocket of his coat.

"Where did you get that photo from?" Mr. Hamilton questioned. "How do you know her?" He was becoming very agitated.
This caused Olive and Loui to become confused. They were stunned, unable to understand why he was getting aggressive and angry—they could see it in his gray eyes.
Olive frowned. "Um…nowhere exactly. We just happened to do so." He was definitely Avelina's father. His reaction—surely not what they expected—did affirm their doubts.
