“That’s right, it was Fred who found it,” he said softly. “He has some expertise in this area, so investigating the formula was a piece of cake.”

“But…” Lina blinked. “I thought someone would secretly dispose of the drinks to destroy the evidence after the event that night. I never expected you could find a sample!”

“It wasn’t my brother who found it!” Toph grinned. “Guess who helped us this time, Pammy?”

Lina’s heart skipped a beat.

‘Could it be her again? Lena?’ she wondered.

“Someone did want to destroy the evidence.” Zuko smiled faintly. “But that’s a massive task. Just as that person was trying to get rid of the remaining problematic drinks, Lena caught him.”

Toph continued. “It’s quite a coincidence. That person was trying to dispose of the evidence in the alley behind the bar where Lena works!”

The subsequent events did not need to be explained further.

Lena was already quite skilled at dealing with men, so catching the person and getting the remaining problematic drinks was a breeze for her.
