Chapter 9
Her eyes were full of a dead life as she stared at Sokka. Tears were forming at the sides and slowly dripping down to her chin.
Aang and Zuko had left the room to give them a small moment alone.
They had been sleeping in his room when a dirty and crying Toph came through the door throwing herself into Zuko's arms.
Eventually she regained a sense of dignity and told the whole story and how Jet really was back and had Katara and Mai locked up.
"I just finished calling the Police." Aang walked over to Zuko who had his head in his hands.
"And?"
He took the seat beside him, "They'll call me back."
