"Good morning Mako!", said the young desk clerk at the station.
"Good morning to you too Lee.", he nodded. "Having a good first week?"
"It's been wonderful Chief."
Mako grinned as he strolled past the desk and into the halls of the station. Lin had retired five months ago after Toph had moved to the city to help with rebuilding, and to spend more time with her family. There was some controversy in the media going against Lin's choice for replacement wasn't a metal bender. But after many cases and jobs, the city and the force were warming up to him.
He reached his office and put his briefcase on his desk. And not even two seconds before he could sit down, his favorite officer walked in.
"Hey big bro!", Bolin said, walking in after a quick knock on his door.
"Didn't I say you couldn't visit me unless you had police stuff to tell me?", Mako asked.
"This is police stuff. Really fun police stuff!"
Uh oh, he could see where this is going.
"I already told you, I'm not gonna go with you to arrest the Triple Threats.", Mako said sternly.
"But Mako come on!"
"Bo, I'm not saying this as your brother, I'm saying this as your boss. Unless there's an actual crime we need to look into, we're staying away from there!"
"Actual crime?! You were a first hand witness to their crimes!"
"Bolin, they've been off the DL for almost a year. They either died in the battle when Kuvira attacked or they were scared shitless and left the city. It's dangerous down there, and I'm not sending you down there if there is no real reason to."
"If there's no real reason to then why do you think it's dangerous out there?"
Mako scowled at his brother.
"Bo, I love you but you're driving me crazy."
"Mako what if we just-"
"Bo, don't ever bring this up to me again and go back to work."
Bolin pouted with his puppy eyes and turned out back into the door from which he entered. Mako shook his head and returned to his desk to continue whatever not so fun police work he had today.
