"How will I catch Asami?" Korra asks herself while pacing around her room.

"Well, obviously I could just go over to her house. But what am I supposed to say? Hi Asami, I am here to talk to you and maybe arrest you... this sounds so ridiculous. Ugh, I just want to sleep."

She stands up to go to her bedroom and lay down. Korra doesn't know how to separate her feelings from this case. Not even a day goes by without thinking about Asami. Seeing her will make Korra happy, but the reason for seeing Asami isn't making the situation better.

"How will Asami even react if she finds out, her ex-girlfriend wants to arrest her?"

Disturbed by her thoughts, Korra decides to listen to some music. After a little while, she falls asleep. And just like Asami, she has a sad expression on her face.

--------------------------------------------

Asami slowly wakes up as the sun shines through her window.

"What time is it?"

Asami asks herself. She turns on her TV just to see it is 7 am.

"I have a little time to make some breakfast"

Asami thinks to herself and stands up to make some coffee. After some while, Asami finishes her breakfast and goes up to her bedroom to dress up for work. She makes sure to close the door and heads to her office with her car. As she enters the building, Zhu Li is the first one to greet her.

"Hello Miss Sato, how are you doing?"

"I feel great thank you and of course thank you for taking over some work for me."

"No problem boss, you really needed a break."

Both of them head to the elevator to go to their offices. As Asami opens the door to her office, she notices a pile of files on her desk.

"This will be a long day" she sighs and starts to work.

-----------------------------------------

Korra's alarm clock goes off and her eyes widen when she sees the time.

"Oh no it is 10 am! I will be late for work!"

She panics and gathers all her work clothes, quickly runs down the stairs, nearly falls down and makes herself a little breakfast containing a piece of bread and an apple.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" Korra laughs but then her expression becomes sad.

She remembers how she used to say that to Asami when she was sick. Realization hit her as she thought about Asami.

"I have to see Asami today and even talk to her! This will be a long day."

Korra exits her house and heads over to Future Industries, because she knows that Asami can't be home at this time.

"She has to be in her office, I know it."

As Korra arrives at the Future Industries building, her heart starts to pound fast. She will see Asami after a while and she is very nervous about it. Especially because she has to talk to her and possibly interrogate her.

"What a nightmare" Korra says out loud and enters the building.

"Hello! Welcome to Future Industries, my name is Ginger, how can I help you?"

Ginger is Asami's loyal secretary who has worked for the company for a long time.

"Um hello, my name is officer Korra and I have to talk to Asami Sato."

"I am sorry officer, but right now it is not possible to talk to Miss Sato."

"Why not?" Korra asks angrily "I am from the police and I have to talk to her right now!"

"I am sorry, but it is just not possible, how about you come back later and we can discuss it then?"

Korra feels like she won't get far if she keeps arguing with the secretary, so she simply agrees and leaves the building.

"I guess I can try out new methods to meet her, she won't be in her office all day."

-------------------------------------------

Ginger immediately calls Asami's office to let her know that the police is after her.

"WHAT?" Asami shouts "What do you mean an officer was here?"

"Yes, a police officer was here and she was asking for you!"

"Did she give a reason?"

"No, but I told her to come back later, Miss Sato, what is happening?"

"I don't know Ginger, but I will take care of it don't worry, thank you for notifying me."

"You're welcome boss, I hope nothing happend."

Asami hangs up the phone and lays her head onto her desk.

"What does the police want from me? This is ridiculous!"

Asami sits at her desk and looks out of the window for a while. Suddenly her phone starts to ring.

"Varrick? What does he want? Hello?"

"Miss Sato? Hello how are you doing?"

"Hello Varrick, I am fine and you?"

"I am fine too thank you, um listen, you know we had a deal right?"

"Yes, why are you asking?"

"Well.. um.. how do I say this... one of our partner's did something bad, like really bad, and now everybody that works with that company is under suspicion for illegal business."

"Wait what?! Is this why the police was searching for me?" Asami asks shocked.

"Yes, but listen Asami, we can't let them get us, even if we are innocent, they will get some kind of dirt on us! Be careful and avoid the police as good as you can understood?"

"Varrick, are you serious right now? You are telling me to basically run from the police?"

"No, I didn't say run, I said avoid, that is different."

"Riiiiight..." Asami sighs.

"Asami whatever you do, don't fall into their trap, they will find a way to make us look bad."

"You know that running from the police will make us definitely look bad?"

"No it won't trust me, I know they are all undercover right now so this investigation is on the low, just trust me and listen: avoid the police understood?"

"Got it, I still think it is a bad way to handle th-"

"Okay just try to follow my advice okay?"

"Got it."

"Be careful Miss Sato, goodbye."

"Bye."

Asami hangs up the phone and lays her head onto her desk again.

"This is a damn nightmare."
