Just as Sylvia somewhat suspected, the paint job was not their doing. She listened to what they had to say and she raised an eyebrow at the mention that some guards had arrested the boys for drunken and disorderly conduct. She had her suspicions that the mentioned guards might be the corrupted guards who only arrested the mentioned men with pain, so they could have scapegoats prepared for the real vandalism cases. 

She smiled at Elena's question as she answered, "We're doing good. We area on another adventure," She then continued addressing all three of the family, "I'm glad to see that you guys only had paint splashed on the store. Our current adventure involves worse acts of vandalism," She then added, "We should talk more inside," She was cautious that someone could be eavesdropping, and she wanted to ask more about the guards who arrested the people who splashed the store with paint.
