Mom and Zuko put me on the stretcher. Then, they carry me to the prison where Jing is being held. They put me in a chair across from where Jing is. She's seething at me. However, she makes no move against me. This, alone, confuses me.
"Why isn't she attacking me? All she's doing is glaring!" I point out.
"Well, Avatar Aang is here, actually. He's sleeping on Aapa just outside the city. Aang took her bending away," Zuko explains.
I turn back to Jing. "Jing, I need to know what happened on the night that you had our parents murdered."
"Oh? Are who's gonna make me tell you?" Jing laughs at my face.
"I'm gonna make you?" I growl.
"You, and what army?" Jing sneers at me as she mocks me.
"I don't need an army!" I yell. Despite the pain from my injury, I rise up out of my chair and slam Jing against the wall.
"Fine. I'll tell you," Jing coughs out the words.
"Well?" I prompt her.
"Our parents aren't dead. I had them injured. They are imprisoned somewhere in the volcanic tunnels. That's all I'm telling you!" Jing yells.
"That's all I need to know," I release Jing. I turn back to mom, Zuko, and Katara. "I need your Earthbending friend. Could you contact her?" I ask, addressing Zuko and Katara.
"I'll do it right away," Katara agrees. She goes to do as I asked.
