It had been almost week since Tarrlok had arrested him, his brother and his brother's girlfriend. Bolin stared at the wall. Six days, five nights, and there had been no word from Korra since they were arrested. Absolutely nothing, and it wasn't like she was the patient type. If the system was working too slowly, she would have done something reckless like attempt a prison break. Bolin grinned. He liked the idea of Korra smashing through the prison through the prison for him. Them. Smashing through the prison for them. Bolin rubbed his hand over his face and sighed. Why hadn't he heard anything from outside?A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Visiting hour, someone's here to see you," a guard informed him as the door to his cell opened. Finally, it had to be Korra.
"Woohoo!" he cried as he hopped up. "About time!" The guard ignored him. A second guard handcuffed him before they began walking. Bolin had a smile on his face the whole way. This was it. Korra would have a plan, and they would stage a thrilling escape from prison. They would soon be free and eating real food again. Honestly though, he would be pretty happy with just seeing her smile again. Bolin sighed. Yeah, even if she couldn't do anything for them yet, her smile would be enough for him.
"Right through here," the guard in front gestured toward a door marked 'Visitation Room 4'. Bolin was nearly skipping. The first guard opened the door, and Bolin bounced after him.
His shout of joy died in his throat, and his smile wilted. It was not Korra.
"Ah... Wha-What? Why are you here?" He stammered. The second guard entered and closed the door behind him.
"Is that how you greet everyone? I suppose I shouldn't have expected more from an amateur off the streets."
