After her date with Huan, Ikki went home and she was surprised to see Lin there. The police chief was having a sad look on her face and she didn't look so well.

" What 's wrong, Lin? " Ikki asked while she hugged the sad woman

" I'm here to say good bye. " she answered whipping her tears

" What? You leave? But you can't! I need you. "Ikki cried

" Ikki, you know I can't stay here anymore. It hurts to see him. "

" It's about my dad, isn't it? " she said whipping the tears away

" I'm afraid that the answer is yes. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ikki. I know he loves Pema and I accepted that, but is still hurting. "

" I... Know, but I'm going with you. "

" You can't, kid. "

" Look, when I was in the spirit world I met Grandpa Aang and A lot of his old firends and they told me that... Zaheer is bad and he is planning something and I have to stop him. "

" Ikki, you're Okay? "

" You don't believe me, right? " the girl said, disapointment could be seen in her eyes

" Kiddo.. "

" Never mind. Do what ever you want, Chief Beifong. "

" You never called me like that, you're upset? "

" No, I'm perfect. "

" Ikki. "

" Good bye. "

Ikki turned around and she went in her room. She closed the door behind her, letting her body to fall on the bed.

Her eyes closed and tears fell on her cheeks.

The person that was like a mother to her didn't believe what she said.

Who will believe me? I didn't believe me either. The airbender thought

Maybe Zaheer wasn't bad, Maybe Aang was wrong.

Yeah, Maybe Aang was wrong.

Ikki pushed herself near the window where some voices were heard.

She heard Zaheer 's voice, talking with someone at a phone.

"The deal is over, do you get it? " he said the first time

" I don't care about the avatar anymore, okay? Leave Korra alone, she's just a teenager, " he said nervously

" Look, Saphire, the deal is over and I won't help you with your stupid plan and you gotta deal with it! " he said coldly, ending the call

" Zaheer? " Ikki said confused

" Ikki? " he said scared

" What deal you were talking about? "

" You heard all I said? "

" I heard enough, " she said, putting her legs on a chair, she used her old air hoodie and she flew down to Zaheer

" I need answers Zaheer. Now. "

Huan was in his room, drawing.

His thoughts were set on the date he had a few hours ago with his soul mate.

A big smile crossed his face while he was doodling Ikki 's body on his paper.

A knock was heard and the artist went to unlock the door.
