Chapter 2: Old friends

Bolin had to lean his head on his arm to try and stay awake during the board meeting. Since Verick had gained parole two years ago he offered Bolin a job at Verick industries as one of his corporate executives. It wasn't as exciting as his previous job for Verick but Bolin did enjoy his salary and benefits of being an executive.

Sitting across from him was Asami who was there on behalf of future industries who were still doing business with Verick. Verick was up and talking with his executives discussing a new venture "All right people I think the venture of new one-man boats that can travel at incredible speeds will be a success I already have a new name for them. Ski jets".

Bolin had been listening to Verick go on for hours about this new venture and he was ready to fall asleep at any moment. Verick trying to Bolin "Bolin I'd bet you'd like to be the first one of us to try out the new product " . "Huh what? Oh right of course Verick" Verick smiled "stupendous if everyone would follow me".

Verick led them all from the board room to a few cars waiting for them outside the building. They got in and were driven to the part of the harbor owned by Verick industries. Near one dock there was a small boat that looks almost like a motorcycle-boat.

"Uh Verick, how exactly do I drive this thing?" "It's easy ,it's just like a motorcycle but on the water" Verick said. "All right sounds fun" Bolin got onto the ski jet but saw Pabu was still on his shoulder. "Pabu you stay here, I don't want you getting hurt" Bolin said as he put the fire ferret down on the dock.

Verick handed Bolin the keys, " all right now just turn on and let it go". Bolin turned the keys in the ignition and felt the boat start. "I now I just gently twist the throttle and yaaaaah!" Bolin screamed as the ski jet zoomed forward faster than anything Bolin had ridden before. Asami looked concerned as Bolin flew through the water.

"Uh Verick , are you sure that thing's safe?" , "Asami do you really think I'd put my beloved Bolin in harms way". "Help me!" Bolin screamed at the top of his lungs. Moments later Bolin was flung off the back of the ski jet and into the water. The boat continued moving until it crashed into the harbor wall and exploded.

" All right she needs a little tweaking ,but I still feel the new product will be a bestseller" Verick said with optimism. After the meeting had finished Bolin was driving Asami home. The two often drove to Verick industries together on days that Asami was needed there. As Bolin drove Asami noticed he was still soaking wet from earlier. "Bolin are you sure you're still okay to drive?".

"What? I'm fine just a little wet and shook up ,but I'm fine. So how have you and Mako been doing lately. You little lovebirds you". " We've been doing fine I guess" ,"you guess that doesn't sound very good". "I don't know it just seems like he's been missing Korra more and more. I'm afraid he still has feelings for her" Asami said.

"Come on Asami remember he chose you over her" , " no he broke up with her and then started dating me" . "Yes that's technically true, but remember even after she regained her memory he still chose to broke up with her again because he wanted to be with you. He had the chance to start dating again but he chose to stay with you right" Bolin said trying to be optimistic.

Asami smiled "I guess you're right Bolin, and I suppose I can't blame him too much for missing Korra I miss her too". Right we all miss Korra, she's an amazing girl and the avatar. And who knows someday she'll come back here and we'll all be able to see her again. Oh no!" Bolin said.

"What is it?" , "I just remembered I promised below I take them to a probe ending match yesterday". "Well what happened?" , "I had to stay later to see Verick's new ideas for the dumb ski jet. Man that little guys gonna hate me".

"It'll be all right Bolin why don't we had to air Temple Island and explained to him maybe we can go to match tonight" Asami said. "You don't have to go home and take care of things for future industries?". "Nah my assistant to handle it", "all right sounds good maybe we should see if Mako wants to come". "All right he should be getting off work soon why don't we swing by the police station" Asami said.

Mako was at his desk using a typewriter to write up his 61 on the arrest of Don Carlo. He saw one of the two officers who was with him the other night. "Hey did you get your 61 on the Don Carlo arrest finished yet?". The officer turned to him looking confused " you didn't get the memo from Tanron. We uh don't need to type up 61s on this one". "What you talking about it's standard protocol what does the lieutenant not what the chief to find out about this".

"Find out about what" both officers heard behind them. Mako turned to see chief Bei Fong standing there. " Chief I was just about to give this to you my 61 and the Don Carlo arrest" mako said as he handed her his report. "Don Carlo? You managed to arrest him why didn't you tell me sooner I would love to see that scumbag get thrown in the cage" Lin said.

" Lieut. Tanron didn't tell you?", "No I wasn't told anything" Lin turned to the other officer looking very angry. "Now that I think about it I didn't see Don Carlo in the cages earlier if you arrested him where is?". "Chief we were uh, told by the lieutenant he was being taken to another station". "What? No you and Marklinz said that you were going to bring him here to the cages" Mako said.

"Well I" , " where is ?" Lin asked. "I don't know". "Well why don't you help me find him. Mako you've got your 61 done you can head home", "thank you chief" Mako put the rest of his paperwork away and began walking out of the police station. He was getting a little suspicious of lieutenant Tanron's actions.

He set up a sting without telling the chief, made sure the other officers didn't type up 61s and now he was hiding Don Carlo. What could he be up to. As soon as mako got out of the police station he saw Bolin and Asami pull up and Bolin's car. "Bolin, Asami what you guys doing here?", " Mako were going to take below to a probe ending match you want to come?" Bolin said.

"All right sounds fun". Mako got into the back of the car as Bolin started driving towards a shuttle that would take them to air Temple Island. "So how was my little policeman's day at work?" Asami said. " A little weird actually, two nights ago I went out with only two other officers and we arrested Don Carlo". "Don Carlo well isn't he like the biggest triad leader in the entire Republic" Bolin said.

"Yeah we managed to arrest him but today I found out that the chief didn't even know about what we were doing, I mean they said that it was on the lowdown even during the arrest but I thought for sure the lieutenant would tell her after we got him. On top of that Don Carlo's gone missing". "Woah, this is like that new crime drama I've been watching it's called order and law" Bolin said.

"Bolin that show is nothing like how real police work is done" Mako said. " Aww I thought it was so realistic". After another 15 minutes they reached the shuttle that would take them across the bay to the island.

On air Temple Island Korra was meditating with Tenzin. Among them were a number of spirits who were staying close with Korra until she found them new homes outside of Republic city. Tenzin was amazed at how spiritual core had become over the last three years. All of the spirits Korra had brought with her seemed very comfortable around and clearly trusted her greatly.

Jinora and Ikki were both trying to play with a few of the spirits Korra had brought with her. A spirit resembling a cat-bunny floated around Genora's head in wiped its whiskers across her face. "Stop that tickles", Ikki tried to catch one of the spirits that kept moving around her. "Hold still I just want to hug you".

Kya and Pema were watching as Meelo and Rohan were playing together. "All right little brother today I'm going to teach you about spirit training" Meelo walks over to a small spirit that looked like a turtle duck. "Okay spirit I want you to fly up to three cartwheels, a loop de loop, a barrel roll, and then land on top of the Temple" Meelo said.

The spirit tilted its head like a dog would then flew off towards Korra and Tenzin. "Ha you see the trick is to overshoot it so they at least do something". "Isn't that cute he's trying to teach his little brother" Pema said. "It reminds me of Bumi and Tenzin when they were that age".

As Korra and Tenzin meditated they could both hear the spirits speak to them. "I like this island isn't touched by the nasty city" one of the spirit said. Tenzin was happy that the spirits liked his home he had always hoped someday he could meet spirits like this.

"I'm glad you like my home you're welcome to stay here as long as you like". "I was hoping that I could meet you son of avatar Aang" one of the spirit said. After another few minutes Korra got up "Alright Tenzin I think I'm going to head into the city and see if I can find my old friends to do some catching up".

"All right have fun and if you're planning on eating here, is going to have dinner ready by 6:40". "Thanks Tenzin but I think I'll probably be later than that". Moments later Asami, Bolin, and Mako walked up towards the group and saw Bumi hanging hit upside down from a tree branch lifting his upper body up to his knees.

When he saw them he said happily "oh look who's here , hello young people". All three of them were a little freaked out "Uh hi Bumi" Mako said. " You guys won't believe who's here". "Who?" Bolin said. "Guys" a familiar voice said. All three of them looked forward to see Korra standing in front of them. "Korra!" They all shouted and sprinted forward. Bolin was first to wrap his arms around her followed by Asami and Mako.

"Korra oh it's so good to see you after so long"Bolin said. "When did you get here" Asami said. "I just got here yesterday I was about to come and try and find you guys". "While it's good to have you back and Republic city we've all missed you so much" Mako said.

"I've missed you guys to". Korra took a look at her old friends they looked pretty similar to when she last saw them but had all clearly gotten more mature as she did. Mako felt a little uncomfortable around Korra at first remembering the last time he saw her was when they had broken up.

At first Korra thought she would be nervous when she saw Mako again. But now that she was there seeing him it was not like seeing an old boyfriend but an old friend . She was relieved to know that she was over him.

"So how did you guys know I'd come back?". "We didn't we were coming here to take Meelo to a probending match" Bolin said. "Hey Bolin!" Meelo shouted as he ran over to them. "Meelo hey little guy, sorry I couldn't take you to a probening match yesterday I got kinda caught up at work" . "It's alright Bolin I kinda forgot about it when Korra came back".

"Well if you guys are ready we should get going the match begins in 40 minutes" Bolin said. The group got back on the ferry and rode back to the city. In Bolin's car Korra was sitting in the back with Mako and Meelo. "So Korra how have the last few years been for you?" Mako said.

"Yeah tell us about all your fun adventures with the spirits" Bolin said. "Well I've mostly been helping the spirits readjust to living in the human world. Helping people get use to living with spirits". "You must have been to lots of places around the world" Asami said. "Yeah, I've been to every nation, from Ba sing se , to the fire nation capital. I got to meet the Earth Queen and the firelord many times".

"That must have been exciting, meeting all those different people and their cultures" Asami said. "It was and I loved every minute of it. My whole life I dreamed of being able to travel the world and see the different cultures".

After another 20 minutes they reached the probending arena. It took them another 10 minutes to get to there seats. Bolin sat down next to Meelo and handed him a bag of popcorn. "There you go little buddy" , "Thanks Bolin" . "Ok the Polarbear dogs are taking on the rhinos , they're both pretty good teams so this should be an interesting match" Bolin said.

The two teams took their position on the stage. The announcer took to the center of the stage and held up a microphone. "Alright ladies and gentlemen our two teams are both here and ready to begin the match". The announcer got off the stage just in time for the bell to ring and the match to begin.

Moments later the water bending player on the rhinos whipped his arms forward and unleashed a wave of water that was just within the limit on the 3 polarbear dog players and extinguished the bursts of fire that their firebender had just launched.

The 3 polarbear dogs were knocked to the ground quickly and as they tried to get up the entire team was knocked back into the water by earth disks and fireballs. "Woah folks it's a knockout!" The announcer said. "Well that was fast" Korra said.

"Woah that was so cool they just knocked them so fast like, pew , pew " Meelo said. Mako looked back at Korra and stared at her for a minute. He smiled and turned back, he realized that she hadn't held resentment towards him at all. He had also realized that he could see her as a friend and just a friend.

After the match the 5 of them went out to a noddle restaurant for dinner. "So Bolin you're a executive for Verick industries how's that going for you?" Korra said. "Oh well it's alright I guess. The money's pretty good and all, but it can get kinda boring after a while". Bolin returned to his noodles as Korra turned to Mako.

"So Mako I heard from Bolin you arrested Don Carlo", "Yeah but now he's gone missing. I don't know what Lieutenant Tanron is up to but Chief Bei Fong is going to find out one way or another". "That sounds like Lin" Korra said.

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you guys, in a few weeks we're going to be visited by firelord Ursa and her father Zuko" . "Really can we see them to , I've always wanted to meet a royal figure" Asami said. "I'll have to check with Tenzin but I'm sure he won't mind". "You can come over anytime you want don't be shy" Meelo said as he started blushing.

Later that night in an abandoned warehouse Don Carlo was tied to a chair. Blood was coming from his nose and mouth as he slowly looked up at the 3 men in front of him. All 3 of the men were wearing police uniforms and the one in the middle had a Lieutenant insignia on his.

"Are you ready to start complying with us Mr. Carlo?" Lieutenant Tanron said. Don Carlo looked up at him and spit in his face. Tanron metalbent the chain out of his armor and whipped Don Carlo across the face. The other two officers held the chair down as Tanron began punching Carlo in the gut repeatedly.

When he stopped Carlo tried to catch his breath. "Mr. Carlo my employer paid you to do a job and he paid you well. You should have known there would have been consequences for not completing your job. Now you are going to finish the job we paid you to do and because of your recent actions. It will be under our supervision".

Tanron's men untied Don Carlo and dragged him away as he walked over to a telephone in the room. "Yes sir we have him. Yes I made sure that the officers didn't write up 61's on the arrest so we're clear". Tanron put down the phone and walked out towards his car.
