Summary – A conversation between assassins.
Interlude Ten –
“The Earth Kingdom girl must die,” a voice whispered in the shadows. “Her testimony could cause major problems down the road for –”
“No, no!” the would-be-assassin hissed. “Don’t even speak her name.”
In the distance, fireworks illuminated their treachery in a display of joyous union and both men shrank farther into darkness.
“How can I kill her?” asked the would-be-assassin. “The Avatar rarely leaves her side.”
The man heaved a sigh of frustration. “You’re an Earthbender. She is of the earth. Make it look like an illness. I don’t care how it’s done. Just do it!”
“You’re an Earthbender too! Why don’t you do it?”
“Because I have to kowtow to Princess Wan!” Mongi, the Bei Fong family stooge, stepped out of the shadows.
“Fat lot of good that did! The old bird listened to that girl. That girl can easily identify Qiang and…” the man shuddered not wanting to even say the name. “I have another problem too. I think our ward is suspicious.”
“What do you mean?” Mongi asked.
“At the conference this morning… She got really agitated and pointed at me.” The would-be-killer shifted uncomfortably.
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Mongi jabbed a finger into the man’s chest. “She can’t see!”
Slapping Mongi’s hand away, the man shoved him against the wall. “Look here! I didn’t sign up to kill this many people. My mission is to kill Zuko and anyone else who aspires to the throne. I can’t help it if our attempt on the Waterbender’s life didn’t work. How was I to know that she would freeze the water in the mud and break free?”
Mongi scoffed in disgust and pushed the man away.
“Plus I had to work around Lao’s big-mouthed brat!”
“It doesn’t matter,” Mongi chastised the other man. “Just get the job done! I’ll take care of the big-mouthed brat.”
