I don't on avatar.

Most of the crew was rather surprised in the fact that Zuko and Canoi did not seem to like each other in the romantic sense. Indeed, Canoi was rarely around him, the only times they left were when they went looking for the avatar alone together. However, one thing puzzled Iroh, in nearly every port that they stopped at and where Zuko and Canoi went looking for the avatar, there was a heist pulled off by the latest thief duo, The Shadow and the Blue Spirit.

While Zuko and Canoi were rather indifferent towards each other, The Shadow and the Blue Spirit were definitely in love. Often, just after a heist, the Blue Spirit would slightly lift his mask, and the Shadow would lower the cloth around her mouth, and they would kiss.
The heists weren't stealing, per say, they were more often the freeing of prisoners. During the day, Zuko and Canoi would look back and wonder why they had pulled the heist, but they continued to anyway.

"I want to know, what is the pattern!" demanded Admiral Zhou, "Who are these two masked thieves!"
Just then a small guard came in, "Well, sir, I might, um, have something here sir."
"Tell me!"
"Well, um, I noticed that every town where these thieves have struck is always where Prince Zuko's ship has just docked."
"Very good Zong. Or, should I say, Lieutenant Zong."
Zong bowed, "Sir, this is such and honor, being, well, a lieutenant, thank you sir!"
"Oh, no," said Zhou, and folded his hands behind his back, "Thank you."

"What the heck are we doing here?" asked the Blue Spirit. The Shadow glanced at him, "Simple, Spirit, We're collecting you're buddy Zhou's leads on the avatar. Duh."
"Shadow, you had better be right," he muttered. Just then, Zong walked by, talking to a fellow firebender, "Yep, I figured out the pattern in the heists, Zhou seemed pleased. I can't wait to tell my cousin!"
The Blue Spirit's eyes widened and he tugged The Shadow back, "We'd better skip this. Zhou knows."

The fact that Admiral Zhou now had a good guess of their identities did not deter the Shadow and Blue Spirit for long, though. After all, they were cocky, they were teens, and they were in desperate want of leads on the avatar. But this would inevitably lead to a mistake...
