Inside Korra's mind

The Avatar finds herself alone all of a sudden. She'd felt her wife's presence in her mind a few moments ago, but now there was nothing. It was like she'd lost something. No, it was more like she'd forgotten something. What the heck was going on?

"Asami?" She calls out into the darkness. Where had the heiress gone? Korra knew enough to know that her wife had knocked her out. Asami didn't have to take things that far. She wasn't gonna hurt Iroh. She just wanted to get them home as soon as possible. Asami should understand better than anyone how dire their situation was. Sure she needed rest but her wife didn't have to force it on her.

A woman robed in white appears in front of Korra. The water tribe woman exhales roughly through her nose when she catches sight of her mentor's face. "Stay away from my family." Korra growls. The ethereal entity gazes lovingly into Korra's eyes. The Avatar was having none of it. "Did you hear what I said?! I won't let you hurt them!"

Katara lifts her hand to cup Korra's cheek. The angered Inuit slaps her hand away. "Get away from me!" Korra unconsciously begins going into the Avatar State. "How could you do this to us?! We trusted you!"

4552 Main Street

Chief Beifong watches one of Asami's executives go into an abandoned building. She parks her car in the back of an alley. The moment she opens the car door a sharp pain hits her chest. Lin sits back in the seat, closes her eyes, and takes a few deep breaths. There was no way she was having a heart attack; she was as healthy as a horse.

A minute later the pain subsides. Lin opens her eyes and furrows her brow. She felt different somehow. She slowly looks at her hands then down at her feet. An odd thought pops into her mind. She furrows her brow again. "Is something like that even possible?" The chief apprehensively steps out of the car, inhales, then stomps her foot on the ground.

Her eyelids flutter as her mind lights up like a Christmas tree. She could actually see the executive walking up the stairs inside the building. The woman was meeting someone. Lin shakes her head blinking rapidly as the image disappears. Green eyes widen. Had that actually happened? Lin looks up at the building then down at her foot. She takes a deep breath and stomps again.

And yet again her mind is bombarded with sonar like images. The executive hands a folder to someone inside. Lin breathes out through puckered lips then pulls the gun from her hip. Somehow she knew the other woman in the building was Chelse Redding. The police chief gulps. She leans against her car then grabs the handle of her gun with both hands. Could she really trust what she'd just seen?

Inside the building

Chelse opens the folder. "Thanks, I needed this."

The woman nervously rubs her arm and adjusts her purse. "Chelse, it's not true right? What they're saying on the news. That you're with the Red Lotus. And that you're responsible for Miss Sato's disappearance."

Chelse shakes her head as she reads over the documents. "Why would you come here if you believed something like that?"

The woman lowers her eyes. "I-I don't, that's why I'm asking."
