One day, in an Earth Kingdom village Aang and his cousin and friend, Iroh were on a walk together. They continued to walk until they came to a large house.
"Say, Aang, you see this property here?" asked Iroh.
"Yes, we walk past it once a week, cousin." replied Aang.
"Not long ago, a most remarkable event led me here. I'm surprised I've never told you." stated Iroh.
"Then tell me now." insisted Aang.
"It happened some months ago, late at night in the Kanna neighborhood, which as we both know is named after the founder of the neighborhood. A young girl collided with a man coming out of a cross street. Before the girl could even apologize, the man struck her down." told Iroh.
"Horrible! You didn't let him get away with it?" asked Aang.
"Indeed not. While a doctor attended the girl, I chased the villain down!" replied Iroh.
"The girl's screams had brought her father and neighbours out. We surrounded him. He saw that he was helpless so he asked for a price to be named."
"Price? Surely the girl's father didn't settle for money." exclaimed Aang.
"He was poor, Aang. He named a price, and the villain agreed to it." stated Iroh.
"The awful man lead us to this very property and to that rear door." said Iroh. "He returned with a portion of the sum in gold and wrote a check for the rest."
"Did this brute have a key for that door? Did he give you his name?" asked Aang.
"Yes. I don't believe he lives here, though."replied Iroh. " His name was Zuko."
"Zuko? How strange." said Aang.
"I thought the man who lived here was Doctor Sokka." said Aang.
"That's right! His name was on the check to the poor girl's father. How did you know?" asked Iroh.
"Sokka owns this property and is a client of mine. I helped him prepare his will." replied Aang.
"I see. If he's a client, we should speak no more of this." suggest Iroh.
Agreed. The less said the better. Now, please excuse me, Iroh." said Aang.
And with that, Aang left.
Later that evening, when Aang returned home, he was looking at the last will and testament of Dr. Sokka. Indeed the name of Zuko was there, as Sokka's heir! That brute must have had some hold over Aang's friend.
