Korra had visited Tarrlok's office after the whole incident, to convince him to drop the charges against her friends.
"You have to let them out! They didn't do anything wrong!"Korra demanded.
"I don't have to do anything. You see, they intervened in police business. A very serious offense."Tarrlok responded with a smirk.
"I don't want to hurt you."Korra threatened.
"You have no firm evidence that they are innocent. Who was the man in the hood? You seemed familiar with him. Tell you what, if you give me his name, I will release your friends."Tarrlok offered.
Korra had a battle within herself. She knew Connor could handle some cop lackeys but at the same time he would constantly be under watch.
"No dice. Release them."Korra demanded.
"What a shame."Tarrlok sighed as he got up from his desk.
"Now I have to take you out."Tarrlok spat.
The next morning...
"Come on, I'm busting you out."Lin stated as she opened the door to Asami's cell.
"I owe you one."Asami replied.
Lin let out Mako and Bolin as well, she was going on a manhunt and she needed people to help her.
"Korra was captured by equalists last night in a brawl at city hall. Tarrlok was there as well."Lin said to the group with a concerned tone.
"What? We have to get her!"Mako exclaimed.
"I know. We need to get some answers."Lin replied.
"We should get the big guy. Were gonna need him if we get into a fight."Bolin suggested.
"Good idea. We should get him now, the sooner begun the sooner done."Lin responded as the four went to Air temple island.
When they reached air temple island they found Connor walking out of his room, assassin gear dawned.
"We need you for an investigation."Lin stated.
"What kind of investigation?"Connor questioned.
"Korra has been kidnapped, we need you to help us locate her."Mako replied.
"Very well. I suppose I could help, where do we start?" Connor sighed.
"We have to get Tenzin."Lin responded.
The five walked into Tenzin's office and found him talking on the phone. Presumably to find information on Korra's whereabouts.
"Lin you should be in the hospital! You three should be in prison! Connor! You're fine."Tenzin exclaimed.
"I figured you could use our help finding Korra."Lin said calmly.
"Do you have any leads?"Mako intrigued.
"I've been on the phone all morning, nothing."Tenzin said regretfully.
"We need Naga, she can track her."Mako added.
"Her polar bear dog is missing as well."Tenzin replied.
"My guess is that they are keeping her underground, in one of the tunnels beneath the city."Lin chimed in.
"Underground...just like my fathers secret lab, figures."Asami said spitefully.
"When I was in the equalist truck it sounded like we drove through a tunnel."Bolin added.
"I know where to start looking!"Mako exclaimed as the group followed his lead.
Once they arrived in the area, Mako led them through the streets trying to discern where the tunnel entrance was. Lin had located it with her metalbending sensory ability and they entered the tunnel.
"Korra has to be in here."Mako said with confidence.
They reached a path with a couple tunnels branching off in different directions.
"This one."Mako suggested.
"What if Korra's not on that path?"Asami asked.
"Then we pick another!"Mako replied aggressively.
"Something troubles you."Connor said to Asami which caught her off guard.
"Mako seems a little too worried about Korra. Do you think he like likes her?"Asami whispered back.
"Not sure."Connor growled.
"Connor! We need you up front."Lin ordered. Connor obeyed and ran to the front of the group.
"What are those?"Bolin asked, pointing at Connor's fists which had knuckledusters on them.
"Brass knuckles, I'm going to be cracking skulls."Connor stated.
"You could do that without the knuckledusters."Mako replied.
"Those are illegal you know, I could confiscate-"Lin was cut off by Connor stopping in front of her.
Connor spun around and starred her down, his size proving menacing as always.
"If you think you can take me, go right ahead."Connor said with his fists clenched.
Lin stood her ground.
"That's what I thought."Connor spat as he stormed down the tunnel.
"He is pissed."Bolin whispered.
"He is angry that Korra is missing, we should keep a close eye on him. While he cannot bend, he is more of a threat than any bender I know."Tenzin stated.
A little while later...
"Where is Korra?"Mako demanded from an equalist.
"She isn't here!"The equalist responded.
"Move."Connor ordered as he threw Mako out of the way like nothing. He grabbed the man by his throat and raised him into the air. He unsheathed the hidden blade on the hand that wasn't holding the man.
"Do the math, I can do the same with the hand that is currently pressed against your throat. Where is the avatar?"Connor said with a low voice.
"I'm not lying big fella! She is not here!"The man said while squirming to get out of Connor's grasp.
"I searched the whole complex, she isn't here."Lin chimed in.
Connor growled and dropped the man. He ran away like his life depended on it, Connor was debating on whether or not that was justified.
"Tarrlok played us all!"Tenzin said in an angry tone.
"Why would he make up a story like that?"Mako intrigued.
"Because he has Korra."Tenzin added.
"I'm going to feed that despicable man to the wolves."Connor said as the group exited the tunnel.
Once they reached city hall, Tarrlok was still being questioned by the police.
"Where is Korra?!"Mako demanded.
"We know you have her Tarrlok, tell us where she is."Tenzin demanded.
"What a disgusting thing to accuse me of."Tarrlok chuckled slightly.
"I will not play your fucking games you conniving weasel!"Connor shouted as he ran at Tarrlok.
Tarrlok then put everyone into a stunned state, bending their blood to his will. He put everyone down, except for Connor who had pure determination and anger in his eyes.
"Resilient are we? I can change that."Tarrlok smirked as he threw Connor at a stone pillar.
Connor was still awake.
"It...will take more than just some physical punishment to break me. Fight me like a man."Connor grunted.
"Why would I do that when I have you right where I want you already?"Tarrlok asked rhetorically.
"You are a coward."Connor spat.
Tarrlok clenched his fist, knocking Connor out cold.
"Took near all my energy to bring that one down, better leave with haste. The police will be here soon."Tarrlok said to himself as he ran out of city hall and proceeded to the mountains.
