Chapter Forty-Seven

The three of us found guard uniforms and changed into them to disguise ourselves. I was the only one who had a phone now since Sokka's phone was on the plane and I never bought Zuko one, to begin with.

"I hope these disguises work," Zuko said.

"We just need to lay low and find my dad as soon as possible," Sokka replied.

"Easier said than done," I rolled my eyes, adjusting my helmet.

A guard ran up to us, "Guards! There's a fight in the yard! Let's go!"

We nodded and ran after the guard.

"I've had it with your unruly behavior!" Another guard, I'm going to call him, Beardy (because he has a beard), was yelling at a prisoner.

"What did I do?" The prisoner asked.

"He wants to know what he did," Beardy said walking to Zuko, Sokka, and I, "Isn't that cute?"

I coughed, "Extremely."

Beardy gave Sokka and Zuko a weird look when they didn't reply. I kicked Zuko in the shin.

"Uh, very cute, sir," Zuko said.

"Super cute," Sokka joined in.

Beardy smiled and then walked up to the prisoner again, "You didn't bow down when I walked by, Chit Sang!"

"What? That's not a prison rule," The prisoner (Shit Chang? What an odd name) said.

"Do it!" Beardy yelled.

"Make me," Shit Chang said.

His parents must have hated him. What a name.

Beardy attacked Shit Chang (Do you think I can just call him Shit?) and Shit countered with firebending.

Beardy clicked his tongue, "Firebending is prohibited. You're going in the cooler," he turned and pointed at Sokka, "You! Help me take him in."

Sokka turned to Zuko and me, "Meet back here in an hour," he whispered before running after the guard.

I turned to Zuko and blinked, "That was... eventful."

Zuko smiled and nodded, "Yeah..."

We walked upstairs and eventually found the Lounge. Zuko and I walked inside and started to serve ourselves food.

"Hey, newbies! I know it's the rule to have your helmet on at all times, but this is the lounge. Relax," A female guard called out to us from a table filled with other guards.

Well if we took our helmets off we'd get arrested on the spot, so I think I'd rather keep it on. Of course, I didn't say that.

Zuko walked up to the table, "But what if there's an incident? If I'm not prepared, someone could strike me on the head."

I tried to stifle a laugh before joining Zuko at the table. We sat down.

"Can the new guy ask you veterans a few questions about the prison?" Zuko asked.

"No, you can't date the female guards," the girl said.

I laughed, "No. Actually, we were wondering if you guys knew anything about the prisoners here."

The female guard blinked, "What about them? We get a whole array of them, mostly war prisoners at this point."

"War prisoners?" I asked, "Specifically, what about water tribe prisoners?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Oh," I thought for a moment, "I was fighting for the Fire Nation when water tribe forces invaded. I want to know what happened to those lunatics."
