A/N: I'm so sorry it's been so long. When I started working on this again, I had so mental issues half way through. I hope I haven't lose a lot reader for being so late.

The Republic City Precinct was busy as usual. Mako tried to make his way through the busy officers and interns carrying stacks of case files. He had to hurry to Beifong's office, even if it meant bumping into someone and knocking papers out of their hands. After finally reaching his destination, Mako slid through Lin's opened door and closed it behind him.

Mako observed the office. "Sir, I understand your urgency. We'll try to find your wife as soon as we can, I promise. Now, I would advise you to surround yourself with family and get some rest." Lin was obviously talking to someone on the phone about a missing person case. Mako just stood at the door and stayed quit. Lin bid the other person on the line a goodbye and best of wishes before hanging up. "What do you want Mako? In case you can't tell, I'm very busy. I keep getting one Missing Persons Report after another. Parent's daughters, husband's wives – I'm starting to think there's a cereal kidnapper who's just targeting females."

Fear slightly struck Mako. He started to curse himself under his breath. "Mako, why did you come in here anyway? I know you have paperwork to fill out." Lin said as she sat in her desk chair and started looking through files.

Mako rubbed the back of his neck. "Um, well, I need to show you something I found last night." Mako laid a bag with two identical clear colored darts inside on Lin's desk.

"What are these?" Lin asked as she picked up the bags.

"I found them last night." Mako went in on explaining his plans to meet Korra for dinner and then finding only Naga in the park and later finding the darts.

Lin angrily slammed her hands on her desk and stood up. "You mean to tell me that Korra's been kidnapped again?! Mako, you know how serious this?! Why didn't you report this at once?!"

"Because I went looking for her all night, that's why!" Mako snapped. The two shared intense, angry stares at each other. After a while, Mako decided to speak. "I reported the kidnapping now, be happy for that. Now, I just want to hurry up and find Korra as much as you do, and to do that is to get these analyzed in the lab. I know one of them hit Naga, and I'm thinking the second one hit Korra. If we find out what was in them and who they belong to, we'll be able to find Korra quicker."

Lin sighed and looked at the two darts once more. "Ok then, I'll have these processed at once, but you have to inform Tenzin about this."

Mako thought that telling Lin was horrible, but telling Tenzin about Korra seemed worse.

Down a dark brick hallway laid a valuable object – the Avatar.

Korra was lying on her side in a dark cell with crossed bars blocked her only use of an exit. She was still knocked out from whatever drug that was introduced to her system, but Korra could still register some things. She knew that she was in some place foreign and it was cold. Korra wanted to get up after knowing that, but her limbs wouldn't listen to her brains commands. She then began to hear muffled noises along with sound of metal hitting metal. Korra started to become more aware of what was going on. The muffled noises were voices she didn't recognized, she was in some area that was cold and made of brick, and she must've been knocked out for a while because of the lack of strength in her arms and legs.

Then a rush of ice cold water was spread over Korra's body, making her jump up without thinking of the pain she would feel from the sudden movement. She was gasping for air as the pain set in on her.

"Look who decided to wake up." An unfamiliar voice echoed with a laughing tone.

Korra looked toward her barred door and saw two male figures standing there, one serious and the other a little more laid back. They both had mask on to cover half their faced so Korra could only see their eyes, a pair of blue and a pair of gold.

"Where am I?!" Korra demanded. Her emotions were a mixture of anger and fear. She wanted out of the cell and to go back home. The two men looked over at her and turned away to carry on a quiet conversation. "I asked you a question. Where am I?!" This time Korra swung a thin line of fire at the two, hoping the sight of it or the heat would get their attention. Before the fire could reach the men, the one with gold eyes stepped forward and diverted the wave.

The man then grabbed Korra's outstretched arm and pulled her to bars. "Why don't you just sit back and behave yourself or else I'll gladly punish you myself."

The other man placed a hand on his partners shoulder. "Calm down would you? The boss said to not touch her till he checked her out." He then walked over and took out a syringe. "Sorry Miss Avatar, but I'm just doing want I'm told. The boss likes his silence and we can't take any chance of you escaping." He then injected the mystery fluid into one of Korra's veins.

After he finish he took the needle out and his friend let go of Korra's arm. She stepped back and held down the spot he injected as she stared down at it. Her vision began to blur and her body was shivering. Whatever she was injected with, she knew it was the same stuff they used on her before. Her head became dizzy and her balance weakened. Korra was down to her knees holding her head praying for the dizziness to stop. She looked up at the two men to see that they were having their quiet conversation again.

"Let's just go. We'll let the boss handle her." One of them said before walking off.

Korra just stayed kneeling on the floor, and then she reentered a world of darkness.

"What, Korra's been kidnapped again?!" Bolin yelled loudly. He and his brother were at Future Industries to meet with Asami about having Mako's motorcycle serviced. When the heiress arrived Mako dropped the news about Korra.

"What has Lin done about this?" Asami asked worried as she moved her focus from Mako's motorcycle to him.

Mako crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against a small table behind him. "She's sent out some search parties to look all over the city. Lin's also having what little evidence we could find be processed ASAP. I doubt she'll make the case public, thinking that Korra's kidnappers will take her out of the city if she did, or worse."

"Do you think this has something to do with the other recent kidnappings?" Asami asked as she glanced at the two boys. They stood in their spots in silence.

Bolin then decided to break the silence with a question that was in the back of everyone's minds. "Do you think Korra might end up like she did after Tarrlok took her?"

"No, she won't." Mako quickly spoke out. He then ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "Asami is my bike almost done? I need to get to the port to take a ferry to the island."

Asami snapped out of a small thought of hers and looked over at the motorcycle. "Um, well I already changed the oil, but it still needs a brake test. Also, when you rode it in, I heard a weird noise coming from the engine. If it's alright with you, I would like to keep it to figure out what the noise was. But, I think it'll be ok to drive around if you just go on short trips."

Mako walked over to the bike and took his keys out of his pocket. "Thanks, but I rather take it for now. I'll bring it back in tomorrow if I can." Asami stood from where she was crotched down at the bike's motor and allowed Mako access to it.

"Why are you going to the island?" Bolin asked confused.

Mako sighed as he picked up his helmet. "Lin's making me tell Tenzin about Korra."

"What, you haven't told him yet?!" Asami shouted out of shock. "What is wrong with you?! You know he thinks of her as a daughter!" She then slapped his arm out of frustration.

"Hey, I haven't had time to, ok?" Mako snapped back at her. "I went looking for Korra after seeing she was gone, collected whatever evidence I could find, reported it to Lin, and then patrol around the city for a while with the search parties Lin sent out." Asami crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Mako with an angry pout. Mako just looked back at her with a narrow eyed frown. He soon gave up the starring contest and started to get ready to leave while mumbling harsh words about the heiress under his breath.

Tenzin stormed into the busy precinct and made a beeline straight for Lin's office. Mako was following close behind, visibly trying to calm the aging Airbender. "Tenzin, please calm down. You can't just barge in on Lin. She's trying everything to find Korra." Tenzin ignored the young officer and continued on to his destination.

"Lin have you had any leads on where Korra is," Tenzin asked demandingly as he stormed into Lin's office.

Lin looks over at the two men surprised. She's in the middle of a phone and raises a finger and continues on with it. "I'll call you back. Keep working on what you have to go on." Lin hung up the phone and groaned in annoyance. "Sadly, no; whoever took her was able to clean up good."

Mako jumped in with his own question. "What did the vet say about Naga? Did they find out on what knocked her out?" Lin shakes her head and Mako's shoulders instantly sink. He then felt a hand rest on his shoulder and squeeze it gently. Mako looked up to see Tenzin smiling down at him.

"It's not your fault Mako, so beat yourself up about it. We'll find her, just like last time." With that said Tenzin and Lin soon left the office, leaving Mako alone to collect his thoughts.

After a few moments of silent thinking, Mako looked over at Lin's desk and spotted a few evidence bags spread across it, one being very familiar to him. Mako walked over to the desk and picked up the evidence bag that contained the two darts he turned in that morning. Mako looked around the closed room, as if thinking someone was watching him. He then took a deep breath and held on tightly to the evidence bag.

The cell is dark and a little too small for Korra's comfort. To distract herself, she's sitting in the middle of the cell, meditating to try to connect to the Spirit World for help. Sadly, the slight fear in the back of her mind prevented Korra from concentrating.

Korra relaxed as she breathed out a long breath. I don't know what to do. I can't connect to Aang, I can't even signal to someone that I'm here. Korra thought as she sat in silence.

"Hey. Avatar Korra," A voice whispered from a distance. Korra turned to see who it is, but no one is at her cell – she's even unable to see the person in the cell across from her. Korra slowly rose to her feet, her joints slightly cramping from sitting for too long. She walked up to the cold bars and looked up and down of what she could see of the hallway. To her right she could see an outstretched hand holding a mirror poke out from a different cell about ten feet away. In the mirror, Korra could see a reflection of a pale skinned, brunette, and very dirty looking face of a girl. "Don't worry. I'm sure they're not going to make you do what the rest of us do." The girl gives Korra a small smile. She then moves the mirror and her face disappear – probably focusing it on Korra's reflection.

Korra tightens her grip on the bars and swallows a growing lump in her throat. "Do you know where we are?"

The mirror moves to focus on the girl's refection. "No, not really," the girl says it like she's having a normal conversation with an old friend. "When those guys took me and the other people here, I was blindfolded, my ears covered up, and my hands were tied behind my back." Korra looked away with a confused look as she remembered what little she could of her kidnapping. "They use a different procedure with benders. But with you, being the Avatar and all, they probably did something completely different." Korra thought the girl must have turned the mirror to her reflection to see her confusion.

Korra looked back at the mirror. "Do you know who took us?"

The girl turned the mirror to her reflection and shook her head. She then opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when she heard the sound of jingling keys. Korra then saw the girl's reflection put her finger to her chapped lips and then go back in the cell.

Korra looks to her left and sees a metal door beginning to open. She takes a step back and sits back on the floor waiting for whoever it is coming to pass her cell. She hears that they're in the middle of a conversation.

"She's an Earthbender, correct?" The voice is new to Korra.

"Yes sir," a familiar voice to Korra speaks out; it reminded her of the serious looking man from earlier.

"And she's had a background of practicing Metalbending," the unfamiliar voice responds.

"Yes sir."

"Ok, well then, getting her will be tricky. Just have that buffoon you work with get her drunk and tie her up. For her cell, she won't be able to be put here. I guess make it out of ice; it'll cool down a girl with her personality and make it easier to break her."

Korra realizes that they're planning another kidnapping. She's surprised that they're so open about their plans – to let everyone know how they were kidnapped maybe. The footsteps of the men approached Korra's cell and stopped. "Hello Miss Avatar. My colleague here has informed me that you have some questions for me," the new voice to Korra spoke out.

Korra looked at the two men. She was right; the man in the background was the serious one from before, but the other man she's never seen before. He had a red mask covering half his face instead of a black one, maybe to distinguish himself from everyone else. He had gold colored eyes and black hair– he looked familiar to her for some reason, but she couldn't put her finger on where. "Ya, I have a few questions," Korra said as she stood up and walked up to the bars, being sure to stay at least a good two feet back though. "Who are you, where am I, and why did you kidnap me?"

The man with red mask looks Korra over and, by the slight movements of his mask, seems to smirking. "Persistent, aren't we? Well, all I can, or will tell you is that you know me through someone you've had arrested before, you are in a location I wish not to reveal to you, and you're here so that you don't ruin my plans."

Korra gave the man a criticizing raise of her eyebrow. "Ok then, if you're going to play that way, why don't you tell me what you want to tell me about your plans?"

The man laughs. "Now that's not going to happen, Avatar. Why don't you just sit here in your cell, behave, and I might let you out when I'm complete with my plans."

Korra and the man have a staring contest, figuring out what the other was going to do. The man in interrupted when he hears the door open. "Sir, the shipment you've requested has arrived in the bay," a disembodied voice speaks out. Korra never takes her eyes off the man and notices that on the right side of his neck there's what seems to be a slight scar, from a burn maybe.

"Good. I guess I'll be on my way," the man says as he turns back to Korra. "It's was a pleasure speaking with you… Miss Korra." The sound of hearing him say her name makes Korra cringe.

Central City Station of Republic City was bustling with activity. Mako found it hard to get around after bumping into four different people. He finally made it out of the busy crowd and to a less congested area. He looked up and down the street to see where he was. Mako began to walk down the street to a nearby book store, where a familiar vagabond was peeking into.

"Hey, Skoochy," Mako called out.

Skoochy jumps and takes a defensive position. When He saw that it wan Mako, he dropped his stance and donned an annoyed expression. "What do you want? I didn't do anything," Skoochy snapped.

Mako rolled his eyes and looked in the store, just as he saw the boy do. "Jinora's out of your league."

"Ya, well, the Avatar was out of your league. But, I guess she realized that when she left you." A prideful grin stretched of Skoochy's tan skin.

Mako narrowed his eyes at the boy and instantly grabbed him by the collar and dragged him in an alley. He found it easy to ignore the boy's protest, since Mako's done this many times before. When reaching the end of the alley way, Mako lets Skoochy go. The boy pulled away and fixed his shirt and jacket.

"What do you want," Skoochy demanded through gritted teeth. Mako reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a clear evidence bag with two clear darts in it. Skoochy looks at the bag and decides to speak before Mako could get a chance. "So your boss let you take evidence out to ask me about it? Look Mako, I haven't done anything in the past two months, not even pick pocketing."

"This doesn't concern you. I just want to know if you seen anything like these on the street; as in being carried around, used, or given to people. They were used in Avatar Korra's kidnap and I need an answer quick because Lin doesn't know I took it." Mako speaks as professionally as he can.

"Good cop gone bad," Skoochy mumbles with a smile. "Sorry pal, but no."

"Do you at least think something might be up? Like with people who would kidnap Korra, or something like that?"

"Well, the gangs have been acting weird lately," Skoochy replies as her thinks.

"Weird how?"

"Weird as in, more people hang out in public bars instead of their usual places and people quit the gangs they're in for a different on but then they're never seen again. I don't know man, after giving the crap up I haven't really paid attention to them unless I'm with old friends." Skoochy tries his best to explain, but it's better than nothing to Mako.

Mako pats Skoochy on the shoulder as he walks off. "Thanks, tell me if you find out any more information please." Mako then walked out of the alley and soon disappears in the crowded streets.

Feedback is greatly loved.
