Ch 10 arrests and break outs
That night, they were next to Asami's car, waiting for something to happen.
"All officers, please respond to the 5600 block of dragon flats borough. Equalists have taken to the streets. Consider them armed and dangerous. Proceed with caution."
"Something isn't right." Boba said, sitting the front seat, next Asami.
"What do you mean?" Asami asked, starting the car up.
"Why would the equalist take to the streets, that doesn't fit their MO of hit and run attacks." Boba said, setting his rifle up.
"After you." Mako said.
"Thanks, such a gentlemen." Korra said, as Mako helped her in. Asami noticed, and looked at it via mirror. She narrowed her eyes in response.
They quickly headed to the borough, seeing 5 zeppelins sweeping the area with their search lights. The lack of any power caught their attention.
"Why is the power out?" Korra asked.
Exiting the car, they did see a large crowed of people taking to the streets, but they weren't equalists at all.
"What's going on here?" Boba asked.
"None of your concern." An officer said.
"Mom, look. It's the Avatar." A young child said.
"Please help us. You're our Avatar to." The mother said.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of this." Korra said.
They headed to face Tarrlok, who was busy talking to a member of his task force.
"Tarrlok, you need to turn the power back on and leave these people alone." Korra said.
"Avatar Korra, you and your playmates have no business here." Tarrlok said.
"We're not leaving, unless you give them their power back." Boba said.
"This is an equalist rally. There's nothing innocent about it." Tarrlok said.
"They're not equalists. They're just normal people who want their rights back." Asami said.
"They are the enemy." Tarrlok replied, before turning to the police. "Round up the equalists."
The officers moved forward and started to contain the crowed by force, only for Korra to stop their efforts with her earth bending.
Tarrlok grabbed Asami with his waterbending in response.
"Let me go." Asami said, struggling against Tarrlok.
"You're under arrest." Tarrlok said.
"You can't do that." Mako said.
"I can. Her father is a known equalist, and she's a nonbender outside of curfew." Tarrlok said.
"Let her go." Mako said.
"Arrest him, and his brother." Tarrlok said.
"On what charges?" Boba asked, pointing his rifle at Tarrlok.
"Tarrlok!" Korra shouted, lifting two large slabs of earth in front of Tarrlok and his police officers. Boba stood next to Korra, his rifle trained on Tarrlok.
"Unless you want to be thrown into prison, lower your weapons." Tarrlok said.
Boba and Korra were forced to drop their weapons, and admit defeat.
"So sad to see your little team avatar broken up. You had a good run." Tarrlok smirked.
"This isn't over Tarrlok." Korra said.
"It is. Take them away." Tarrlok ordered.
Korra and Boba were at the police station and were stuck there until Tenzin came.
"I came as fast as I could. Are your friends alright?" Tenzin asked.
"I don't know. These knuckle heads won't tell me anything." Korra said.
"I'll take care of it." Tenzin said.
Tenzin spotted Saikhan and called him over.
"Saikhan, a word." Tenzin said.
"Councilmen Tenzin. I'm pretty swamped at the moment. Can it wait?" Saikhan asked.
"No. it cannot." Tenzin said.
"Three of Korra's friends were wrongly arrested tonight, and I'd like you to release them immediately." Tenzin said.
"They're not going anywhere. They were interfering with police business." Saikhan said.
"You call going after innocent people police business? Someone must have put something in the water here." Boba said.
"All equalist suspects are to be detained indefinitely." Saikhan said.
"This is a load of bullshit." Boba said, and walked out of the police station.
Boba headed to the temple island and planned to break them out. He already had a layout of the station, thanks to serving under Lin.
1 hour later, and Boba left the island and headed to the station. The streets were empty thanks to Tarrlok's new law, and Boba stayed in the middle of the street. It didn't take long for Boba to head to the station, and he headed to the back of the station.
Boba noticed some wires heading to the ground and ripped them out, short circuiting the power in the station. Boba opened the back door, and snuck inside, activating his night vision.
"This night vision makes it too easy." Boba muttered, as he slowly walked to the prison cells.
Boba had to look into each cell, until he found who he was looking. First cell he opened was Bolin and Mako's.
"Who's there?" Bolin asked, hearing the door open.
"Boba. I'm getting you out of here."
Boba then broke out Asami, and led the three down the same way he came, down the hallway, thru a large room, and out the back of the station.
"Boba, thanks for getting us out." Bolin said.
"Quiet, and follow me." Boba said, brandishing his rifle. Now they had to worry about being caught.
"Go." Boba said, as the four of them ran across the street and hid in the shadows of a building.
Boba crept along the shadows, and ran from block to block, using the shadows as cover to avoid being seen.
"Into the water, go!" Boba said, grabbing Mako and throwing him into the bay, followed by Asami, Bolin, and Boba.
They swam all the way to air temple island, Boba taking the rear. Walking inside, Boba gave the city one last look and closed the door.
"Hit the hay. It'll be a long day tomorrow." Boba said.
"You broke us out of prison, and no-one noticed." Mako said.
"That's the hope. I didn't leave any evidence of a break in." Boba said.
It then hit them how dangerous Boba truly was. Hardly anyone could break into the police station, grab 3 people from jail, and get without leaving a trace of any kind.
"How long have you been a bounty hunter?" Asami asked.
"Since I was 13." Boba said taking his helmet off.
Asami, Korra, and Mako got a good look at Boba's face. Pale complexion, light green eyes, short hair, no stubble (Boba shaved), and a couple of scars on his face.
Asami admitted to herself she'd be enamored with Boba if she wasn't with Mako, but that wasn't the point.
"And it's been fun doing so. I'm hitting the hay." Boba said.
