Chapter 2
The Showdown
"Damn it!" Smellerbee thought to herself. "Nothing has changed. Why does Jet have to be so damn stubborn?" And then it occurred to her. "He's just upset that Lee refused his offer to join the Freedom Fighters. That must be it. Oh!!! Why does he have to do this? And why does he have to drag us on his stupid crusade?
As soon has the train had stopped in the inner realms of Ba Sing Se and the passengers had gotten off; Jet immediately set off on his mission to find and expose Lee and Mushi as Fire-Benders. Smellerbee and Longshot got separated from Jet and spent the entire afternoon looking for him. When they finally found him he was a little peeved. "Great you're here! Where have you guys been? I could use your help in surveillance." Smellerbee began to protest and Longshot gave Jet a stern glare. "Fine! If you don't want to help me, I'll get the evidence myself." Smellerbee and Longshot exchanged concerned glances, there was no talking to Jet when he was like this. With a sigh Jet and Longshot resignedly followed Jet. They just hoped he hoped he wouldn't do anything to crazy.
Their hopes were dashed. Jet confronted Lee and Mushi. Soon they were embroiled in a fierce fight. Jet was trying to get Lee to use fire-bending. Lee was an even match and seemed to be trying to kill Jet in the fight. All Smellerbee and Longshot could do was watch from the sidelines.
Smellerbee was worried, if this fight went on any longer one or both of them were going to get hurt. Smellerbee loved Jet and didn't want to see him get hurt; On the other hand Lee just wanted to be left alone, he wouldn't hurt anyone unless they tried to hurt him first. Smellerbee and Longshot were sure that they wouldn't like the outcome of this fight; despite whoever won.
