"Thanks guys." Aang smiled. "Now let's start getting ready to leave. We don't wanna loose their trail."
The 3 of them finished packing and carefully checked around the palace one more time. They didn't see anything so they took off on Appa.
They were getting close to the new location. Aang could see it and took off on his glider.
Aang looked around. no one was there. He had just missed them.
Appa landed in the clear area beside the place. Sokka and Suki ran over and asked if they were still there.
"No. We just missed them." A few tears slid down Aang's cheek.
Then he got up.
"Let's look around. But be careful for booby-traps."
They all took off in different directions. They were all very cautious.
But sure enough Sokka fell into a trap. It was just a wooden cage with a note tied inside.
He took the note and seen a new location.
Aang came pretty close to setting off some traps. But he didn't.
Aang found nothing so he head back to Appa. He sat in the saddle waiting for the 2 to return.
Sokka cut himself out of the cage with his sword; he bought himself a new sword before he left the Earth Kingdom to go back to the Southern Water Tribe.
Suki was around the prison cells.
"Wow. I bet this is where they kept Katara." she quietly said to herself.
A moment later she fell on the ground. She looked down to see she tripped on a wire.
Nothing happened. Then she looked over and seen a scroll.
She opened it. And read the one word.
"Don't? Don't what?"
She got up with the note and hurried back to Appa.
Sokka arrived with his note before Suki. He gave it to Aang.
"Thanks Sokka. At least we know where we are going next."
"Hey guys!" Suki yelled almost out of breath from running the entire way back.
She reached Appa and stopped.
"Look what I found." she said taking deep breathes of air. She handed the scroll to Sokka.
"This is just one word. How can this help us?" Sokka blurted out.
He helped Suki onto the bison.
"I found it in the area that holds the prisoners."
Aang grabbed the scroll and looked at it.
"Do you think it's Katara?" Suki asked.
"No. it's not her hand writing." he said. Crumbling up the note, throwing it back into Appa's saddle.
"Let's try and get to the next location before it gets dark."
Aang said as they took off into the air once more.
