Chapter 11

Korra:

Bolin and I had spent all night and well into the early morning developing our plan. We had fallen asleep at about four in the morning. When I woke up, I was sprawled

across the couch. I could hear Bolin's loud snoring coming from his room.

I looked at the clock on the table next to the couch. It read 10:26. Bolin and I planned to go to Asami's house just after she left for her city office. Going over our plan in my head got me kind of nervous so I decided to make breakfast.

I got up and opened a couple cabinets searching for something to eat. I found some fruit in the fridge so I cut that up and put it in two bowls. I took them into Bolin's bedroom. I put both bowls in one hand and used the other to shake him awake.

"Mmm…."

"Bolin, wake up," I said shoving him harder.

"Uhh… just five more minutes!" he shouted half asleep.

"Bolin, wake up!" I said more forcefully this time.

He sat up, his hair sticking up in all different directions. He was giving me the nastiest look ever.

"Why did you wake me up?" he asked, throwing his hands in the air.

"Because, it's almost 10:30. We need to leave at 11:00. Plus I have breakfast." I stretched out the hand that held my offering.

"Cool. Thanks!" he said, his bad mood dissipating.

"Eat your fruit quickly. It's a long way to Asami's house."

About five minutes later we were on our way to the big mansion. We didn't take Naga because she was too hard to hide. It would have been much quicker though.

When we arrived, we skimmed the perimeter of the house. It didn't look like anyone was home. We found an open window and I airbended us up to it as quietly as I could. We landed silently inside and took a look at our surroundings.

We were in a long hallway lined with various doors. I opened the one directly in front of us. It was completely empty on the inside with just a couch and a coffee table. Bolin came up behind me, glanced inside, and shook his head. I inched backwards and shut the door.

We continued along the hallway, opening doors as we came to them. We found most of them empty and lacking any clues. When we finally reached the end of the hallway, we came to a staircase. Before we could make our way up it, we heard footsteps. I quickly grabbed Bolin by the back of his shirt and pulled him behind a corner and out of sight. I was worried it was Asami, but as the figure reached the end of the stairs, I recognized it as Asami's butler. I breathed a silent sigh of relief. I could see Bolin doing the same.

Once her butler passed, we quickly went up the stairs. There were fewer doors up here, but one in particular caught our eye. These doors were bigger and had intricate designs on the handles that reached the ceiling. Bolin and I looked at each other smiling and nodded our heads.

I reached forward and gave the door a little push, making sure it wouldn't make a sound. Luckily it didn't and I peered in to make sure no one was in there. Sure enough, it was empty and I pushed the door completely open. I waited until Bolin got inside and then shut the door.

The inside looked like an office, with a desk in the very center of the room. I could tell this was Asami's office because there were blueprints EVERYWHERE. Every single free space was taken up by some kind of blueprint.

Bolin didn't waste any time. He got to work, looking through the piles of papers in the corner of the room. I immediately went to the desk and started opening drawers. So far, all I could find were various letters and old family pictures. I briefly looked at a couple letters. Scanning the return addresses, I found that most were from her dad and a couple of them were from me when I stayed in the South Pole for two and a half years.

I was about to put them down when something caught my eye. One letter stood out from the rest. Like I said before, most of them were from me and her dad. Not this one. This letter didn't have an address at all. There wasn't even a name.

"Bolin, I think I-" I started to tell him, but I was interrupted because the door was slowly being opened.

Using my lightning fast reflexes, I stuffed the letter down my boot and shut the drawer as quietly as I could manage. I tried not to look too guilty as I turned toward the window and pretended to admire the view. Bolin must have saw it too because he was next to me in a matter of seconds, the same terrified expression on his face.

"What are you guys doing here?" came the voice I was dreading the most.

Asami had caught us.

I turned around to look at her face. She didn't look angry… just confused. She must not have seen us, I thought. I struggled to come up with a lie, but luckily Bolin beat me to it.

"We came to visit you! No one was around, so we decided to wait for you here!" Bolin's voice was steady and radiated his usual bubbliness.

"Oh, sorry! Ichiro was dealing with an issue in the kitchen and I was at the factory."

"That's okay. We didn't have to wait too long." I was so relieved that she believed us.

"So what did you guys need?"

We tried so hard to keep the smile on our faces. I was hoping she wouldn't ask anything and we could leave without an explanation.

"I just wanted to see you and Korra decided to come with," Bolin said without a pause.

"I wish I could stay, but I have to get some blueprints back to the factory. That's actually why I'm here," she said looking kind of uncomfortable.

"That's okay! We can come back another time!" Bolin said.

We made our way to the door, said a quick goodbye to Asami, and tried not to run to the front door. When we were a few blocks away, I let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"That was close!" Bolin exclaimed.

"Too close," I responded.

We walked all the way back his apartment and when we got there, I collapsed into the couch. I pulled out the letter from my pocket and showed it to Bolin.

"What does that mean?" he asked.

"I have no idea. It was the only one in the whole pile that didn't have a name on it."

I turned it over and pulled out the contents. There was a small folded up letter inside. Carefully, I opened it and read what was inside:

I accept your proposal. I take my payments upfront. The job will be done a few weeks from now.

My jaw dropped and I couldn't move.

"What?" Bolin asked getting impatient.

I held the letter up to him and he took it.

"Holy shit," he said when he was finished reading it.

We sat there just looking at the note for a while and I waited until Bolin could say something.

When he did, he looked at me and said matter-of-factly: "Well that is a problem."
