Thank you.
Sheik ran into the locker room with a large sack wired with excitement. She hoped and prayed that Bravo team was alright, but maybe in Kokiri Forest she'd run into Link! Highly unlikely, but it had been so long since she had seen him.
She grabbed a few hammers and beam swords, tossing them into the bag. Suddenly she felt uneasy, that something was wrong and she spun around to find a shadowy figure standing behind her.
Grabbing the nearest item in self defense, Princess Zelda realized stupidly that it was a fan left at the station by Princess Peach. She was about to bolt out the doors when the figure stepped forward, palms turned up. His approach seemed harmless enough, but then again why was he grinning like a freaking shark?
Whoever he was he had fine taste in clothing, he was wearing a long brown trench coat, tied in the front with a brown leather sash. Atop his head was an old hat that looked like something straight out of a Dick Tracy novel.
Sheik was only able to put aside her immediate feelings of mistrust by looking into his eyes. The man's eyes were the biggest, brightest, bluest eyes she had ever seen in her life. They were full of kindness and warmth, but something seemed to sparkle beneath the surface. Humor possibly, or maybe she really couldn't trust this man?
"Don't worry Sheik," the man said in a perfectly calm voice as he put his hands down. "My name's Trent and I'm a... friend of the S.S.B.F. I'd like to help you."
Sheik distractedly stuffed the small fan in her pocket and shouldered the heavy sack. Checking her watch she noticed in shock that she was already running late to meet back up with the team.
"Sorry Mr. Trent," Sheik replied. "I'm on a tight schedule. Besides, I don't think I want or need your help." Walking back to the door she turned and smirked, "Anyway, you're not authorized to be in here in the first place." The doors swung shut and she started down the hall and then stopped.
She grimaced, realizing she forgot to grab Falcon's gloves and Helmet from his locker. She would have to go back for them, back to that strange man's company. "Ah hell, you're a cop," she muttered and stepped back into the locker room. Trent was gone.
She grabbed Falcon's gear and began to leave when something shiny on a nearby bench caught her eye. Squinting, she tried to make out what the object was. Sheik dropped the sack and stepped over to the device. She started, it was a mini-disk reader.
The small display screen on the machine read, "Sheik, trust no one. Trent." Sheik whistled in approval, the message was a mystery to her but for Trent to just give her this. "Man he must be rich!" She tried to replay the brief encounter with Trent, tried to think of any clues to tell her who this guy was, but then she remembered Bravo team.
Sheik shook her head, pocketing the device. "Get your ass in gear princess," she mentally kicked herself.
On the way up to the launch pad, she stopped in the S.S.B.F. office to grab her pack of cigarettes. "I won't last this hectic night without them," she thought as she bolted through the office doors only to collide with Captain Falcon who had just been trying to enter the room.
"Jesus Sheik," he cried out spilling his armload of equipment all over the floor. A radio shattered to pieces as it hit the floor hard.
"Cap. I'm sorry, I didn't see you." Sheik said helping him with his mess.
"Man Sheik we gotta go, Captain Luigi sent me to find you."
Zelda noticed that Falcon was shaking and whispered, "Nervous?"
Falcon nodded, "Yeah, nervous as all hell." He fidgeted in his armor, feeling more like a frightened child than a police officer. Falcon was a rookie, only 22 year old. He was only recently switched over from Bravo team to Alpha team, so he had known the other team better than some of the other Alphas. He was a very talented enthusiastic man though a bit inexperienced.
Sheik smiled, pulling her mask down from her face. "Hey, they're going to be ok, we'll go get them."
"No!" Captain Falcon shook his head, his face turning as white as paper. "It's not just that. I checked out both of our helicopters last night and they were both in perfect working order." He looked away from her in shame of what he was implying.
Sheik chuckled to brighten the atmosphere, "You saying that one of our members of S.S.B.F. tampered with the copter?"
Captain only nodded, eyes staring at the floor.
"Well that's crazy talk, Falcon I bet.," then Sheik remembered Trent's words. Trust no one. Is that what he had meant? She stared at Falcon for a moment or two.
"Falcon jumped, "Oh no it wasn't me!" He threw up his hands. "No way. But Sheik."
"Yes?" Sheik asked. Falcon shrugged, "If I told you something would you promise not to laugh at me?" He grinned sheepishly.
"Sure," Sheik smiled warmly. "My god I'm flirting with the rookie," she thought crazily.
"I found a paper," Falcon started. "It was a lot of mumbo jumbo but it had someone's name on it, someone we know right? I think it was some heavy stuff." Sheik nodded, urging him on. "Well, promise not to laugh? I'm serious it had a name on it, the name was.."
Suddenly Captain Luigi ran around the corner, "You ass-holes we have to move, let's go!"
Sheik shrugged at Falcon, giving him an apologetic smile. Falcon only sat there for a moment, obviously disappointed he couldn't finish talking with Zelda.
"We'll finish talking later. After we get back," Sheik said as they ran down the corridor.
Luigi closed his eyes in anger as he ran, "I can't believe you two. Making out in the hallway while we wait for you to go help our comrades in peril."
Neither of them shot back at him, he was their boss after all. They reached the helipad minute later. "Pikachu! Took you long enough," the mouse said.
"Sheik grinned, "Sorry, your damn locker wouldn't open Pikachu."
"Yeah stop babbling Pidgey-heart Vickers." Captain Falcon laughed at Pikachu.
Pikachu's eyes crackled with electricity, "I am not a chicken, and I'm not pidgey-heart Vickers. I'll prove it to you on this rescue mission. Whatever happened to the Bravos I'll be there for them."
"Yeah sure buddy!" Donkey Kong laughed as they lifted off the ground. Pikachu veered right and then they were headed straight towards the Lost Woods. The S.S.B.F. had no idea what they were about to get themselves into, and Sheik couldn't stop thinking about Trent's last message to her. "Trust No one."
