Korra and Asami headed towards the Republic City police station, talking about what they had just seen.
"So, do your past lives have anything to say? Any ideas on who this guy is?"
Korra shook her head. "No. Aang and Roku only ever saw him once, and only in passing. If they hadn't realized he looked familiar when he passed me, I would never have noticed him."
"Could he be a spirit?"
"I doubt it. I've never even heard of spirits that look anything like people."
"But it's possible?"
"I suppose. I could ask the spirits, see if any of them-"
"Korra!"
The girls looked up to see Mako running towards them.
"Mako!" Korra said as he reached them. "It's good to see you."
"Korra, Chief Beifong just got a message. Some of the Airbenders in the Eastern Air Temple found a hidden room with a small box in it, addressed to Avatar Kioshi."
"Are you serious?" Korra asked excitedly. "What was in it?"
"They haven't opened it yet. They thought opening it might help you reconnect with Kioshi, so they're saving it until you arrive."
"Let them know I'm on my way. Asami, would you like to come with me?"
"Of course." Asami said. "I'll just need stop by my office to let my staff know that I'll be gone for a few days."
"Then let's go." Korra turned to leave, then turned back to Mako. "Oh, could you pass a message to chief Beifong for me?"
"I'd be happy to."
"Please tell her to be on the lookout for a young man with silver hair, in a gray coat. I have memories from both Aang and Roku of meeting him before."
"How is that possible?"
"I don't know. When you find him, be careful. He's got some sort of weird ability. I had him pinned to a wall with a fence, but when I blinked he was gone."
Mako tilted his head curiously. "Korra, are you sure you saw him?"
"Yes! Asami saw him too."
Asami nodded. "It was like he was there one second, then gone the next."
"Alright. I'll pass this on to Lin. It sounds like we should have a word with this guy."
"Thanks Mako! I'll talk to you when I get back."
As Korra and Asami headed to Future Industries HQ, Mako headed back to the police station to report.
"Is that all the description they gave you? That he's young and has silver hair and a gray coat?"
"Yes chief. I don't think that they got all that good a look at the guy."
Chief Beifong sighed. "Alright. Put out a bulletin on the guy. Did you remember to tell Korra about the package at the eastern air temple?"
"Yes chief. She and Asami were headed there right after we finished talking."
"Good that's one problem off of my plate. Now if I could find this guy Korra's looking for, I can get back to my regular work."
There was a knock.
Chief Beifong turned to the door. "Yes? Who is it?"
The window exploded behind her, and a man dived into the room and rolled to his feet.
Mako and Chief Beifong turned to find a man wearing a gray coat, with silver hair and green eyes.
"You!" Chief Beifong dropped into a combat stance, followed by Mako. "Keep your hands where I can see them!"
The man smiled. "So sorry to bother you, Chief Beifong, but I couldn't find Korra at home." The smile turned mocking. "I was hoping you'd help me with a missing person case. I'm just dying to find her."
