The girls sat on a bench outside the Turner House. "How could you steal that letter?" Trixie questioned Chloe. "I don't know, I just had this weird feeling especially when he mentioned his son."Chloe told Trixie. Tootie added, "The look on his face was rather heartbroken."
Chloe began to read the letter.
"Dear Pa, I hope you and Ma are well. This is the tenth letter that I have written to you and still you have not replied. I don't even know if you are at this address anymore.
I am just writing to tell you that I will be holding my first overseas exhibition this month. I wish you could come. My favourite painting is of us together before I left. I am really worried that I have not heard from you.
How is ma? Is she angry at me too? I hope you write to me soon. I really miss you both. Love Timmy."
"What! Another Timmy?" Tootie exclaimed after the revelation of another Timmy. "Sounds like they had an argument. The old man doesn't want to talk to anymore." Trixie said theorizing the letter. Chloe read the address, "He's in Hong Kong."
Tootie asked Chloe. "Whatever happened to his mother?" she then continued, "I mean he said he hasn't heard from his mother yet."
Chloe then turned her direction to Tootie. "Remember the chest from earlier?" Tootie gulped and muttered "Yes."
