They left the car in the parking lot of the inn inside Kakariko and made their way through the town, checking the GPS to Dorian's whereabouts. Before long, they found Dorian outside the gates to Impa's house, talking casually with the guards on duty. The guards opened the gates and Dorian drove inside.

"What do we do?" Zelda whispered.

"You stay here," Link said to her. "I can't have you in the way if things go badly."

"And what if they do?"

Link hesitated. "Don't go home," he said. "Drive and don't stop. Go to Urbosa. She will help you."

"What? Why? Why can't I go home?"

"Because there's a chance your father is in on this, too," Link snapped.

Zelda stared at him, her mouth gaping. "He's not. He wouldn't."

"We can't trust anyone right now."

"I can trust my father," Zelda said in a loud whisper. "He's the only one in the world I can trust. He would… He'd never… How could you think that?"

"Do you trust me?" Link asked.

Zelda hesitated.

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes," she finally breathed out.

Link pulled his gun out of its holster and slid in the magazine. "Wait at the car," he said before leaving her side.

Link kept to the treeline as he followed the outer walls. Security cameras were mounted all along the premises. He knew taking them out would likely trip the alarm system, and if that happened, it was unlikely Dorian would stick around. He followed the wall towards the back and, figuring it was as good a spot as any, waited for the security cameras to turn, leaving him a small opening where he could jump the wall.

He waited a few minutes, watching the cameras as they moved back and forth, timing their movements until he found his opening, then sprinted towards the wall and climbed up and over onto the other side. He pressed himself against the wall, waited for the moment when the cameras would move once more, and sprinted towards the building. He followed the wall to the corner, pausing as he heard Paya's familiar humming. The humming moved away and Link peered around the corner, watching as Paya turned around the far corner, leaving the back door open as she often did.

Link hurried towards the door and slid inside. The room - their back storage room - was dimly lit. Link was fairly familiar with the layout of the large house and he knew that the door on the other side would bring him into the kitchen. At this time of night, it was unlikely anyone would be in there, so he hurried across and opened the door slowly. When he was sure the room was empty, he slid inside and followed the wall around the dark room to the next door which would bring him into one of the main hallways.

He stood for a moment, listening to the sounds on the other side of the door. There were faint voices that traveled down the hallway, which he assumed came from the front foyer. The voices were unmistakably Impa's and Dorian's. He strained to listen through the door, picking out a few words.

He heard Dorian's voice first. "Divine Beasts… activated… Link…"

Impa's followed. "Yiga… Ganon… traitor…"

That was enough for Link to act on. He opened the door slowly, inspected his surroundings, and inched his way against the wall down the hallway. As he neared, their voices grew louder and more clear.

"The king wants me to return to the Yiga," Dorian said.

"I don't care what the king wants," Impa said sternly. "He made a promise to you, as did I. You will not go back there."

"Whether you like it or not, Impa, my orders don't come from you anymore."

"The Yiga are ruthless, you know that as well as I do. Have you forgotten what they've done to you?"

"They will stop at nothing," Dorian hissed. "Not until the king is dead and Ganon makes his return. That I can promise you."

Link cocked his gun and Impa and Dorian turned to him. Whatever surprise they may have felt was masked as their hard gazes settled on Link.

A grin split Dorian's face. "Well, this certainly is a surprise. Do you plan to kill me?"

"I'm prepared to," Link said.

"Link, what are you doing?" Impa said, her voice hard.

"I want the truth, Dorian. Stop using me in your games."

"The sooner you accept the fact that we're all just pawns in war, the better," Dorian snarled. "What is it that you think you know?"

"You're working with the Yiga Clan," Link said. "A double agent."

Dorian met Impa's gaze.

"Link," Impa started. "Put the gun down."

Link hesitated, his gaze shifting between Impa and Dorian. At that moment, the doors flew open, and two Shiekah soldiers entered with Zelda in their grips.

"What in Hylia -" Impa started.

Zelda dropped to her knees, her hands raised defensively. "Impa," she whimpered. "Don't hurt him."

Impa's gaze turned to Link. "Is that Zelda?"

Dorian laughed and shook his head. "Shit. How long has this been going on? I suppose you have my car bugged too, huh?"

"Someone better start talking," Impa growled.

"I want answers," Link said.

"Dorian's not working with the Yiga!" Impa shouted. "At least, not anymore."

Dorian's grin disappeared and his hung head slightly.

"Link," Impa started. "The Yiga are a group of Sheikah that have have betrayed us. Sheikah that support Ganon and his power and work actively to help him gain control over Hyrule. Dorian was a part of the clan."

"I left the Yiga Clan," Dorian hissed. "I left them the day they murdered my wife. But then they threatened to take the lives of my children and blackmailed me into spying for them."

Link hesitated, his gaze turning to Impa. He lowered his gun.

Dorian continued. "I acted as a spy for them for some time. In return, they promised to spare my children."

"What did you tell them?" Link growled.

"I told them about you and about Zelda. I told them about the king's plan to activate the Divine Beasts and the Guardians. I told them about the Master Sword and the Triforce."

"You betrayed us," Link hissed. "That was your plan this whole time. To get me to get the sword, then take it."

"Yes," Dorian said. "That was the plan."

Link raised his gun once more.

"That's what the Yiga Clan thinks I'm doing," Dorian said. "I didn't believe in what they were doing. I am not loyal to them, or to Ganon. I told Impa and the king everything. I'm not afraid of the Yiga Clan. I can protect my family from them, but not if Ganon returns. I will not sit by and let that happen."

"We came to an agreement," Impa said. "Dorian would act as a member of the Yiga and feed them false information and in return, he would give us any information he has on the Yiga Clan, including the whereabouts of their hideout."

"I was not privileged to that information after I first tried to leave. Not until recently."

Link's brows knit together. "And you trust him?"

"Yes," Impa said simply.

"The Yiga Clan's hideout is somewhere in Gerudo Desert," Dorian said. "I learned that shortly after I heard of their attack against Zelda."

"An attack you caused," Link snapped. "They would have killed her."

"Yes, they intended to kill her," Dorian said. "But I knew it wouldn't come down to that. After all, you were trained by the best of the best."

"I don't pity you," Link snarled. "You're a dead man." But before Link could even think to fire his weapon, a force knocked it out of his hands. It flew across the room, hit the far wall, and clattered to the floor. Link stared at the weapon in shock, then narrowed his eyes at Impa angrily.

"Enough," Impa shouted, her hand raised. "Whether you like it or not, Link, we need Dorian. He is not a threat to us."

Link's hands balled into fists as he fumed. "You don't that. You know what he's capable of."

"I trust Dorian. And if you want to win this war, you need to trust him as well."

"I don't trust traitors," Link hissed. He made his way across the room and picked up his gun. "Let's go," he said to Zelda.

"Link," Impa said. "You have orders to fulfill, remember."

Link stood at the door, his back to them, Zelda at his side.

"We need the Master Sword in our possession," Dorian reminded him.

Link met Zelda's gaze. He could read the confusion and fear in her eyes. What was worse was the fact that he didn't know what to do to keep her safe. He was terrified, too.

Without another word, Link left, Zelda at his heels. He trotted down the steps and out the guarded gates. He strode through the town and back to the parking lot where their car waited.

"What are we going to do?" Zelda asked him.

"You're going to find your power, I'm going to get that sword, and we're going to end this."

Link was quiet as they drove out of Kakariko and back onto the highway. Zelda's heart was still racing with fear in her chest; fear at being caught by the guards. Fear for Link. Fear of Dorian. Was this what the agents in the SFU dealt with on a day to day basis? She couldn't imagine how they did it day in and day out.

"Are you okay?" she dared to ask, her voice soft.

"Yeah," Link said. "Why?"

"I don't know," Zelda said. "I'm not exactly a trained SFU agent, you know."

"Right," Link said. He met her gaze for a moment. "Are you okay?"

Zelda sighed. "Yeah. I guess so. I mean, no one died, so, yeah, it's all good."

"You're not going to start crying again, are you?"

Zelda shook her head. "No. I think I'm too afraid to do that right now."

"Don't be afraid."

"Easy for you to say."

Link bit his lip. "Not always."

"You can't be afraid," Zelda said. "I'm counting on you to get us through this mess."

Link smiled. "I plan on getting us through," he said. "I plan on winning this."

"You're pretty confident."

"I'm twenty-six-and-oh so far," he said. "By the time I'm done, that number's going to be a whole hell of a lot higher."

Zelda didn't know what that meant, but she had a feeling she didn't really want to know. She turned her gaze out the window, watching the trees pass by, and then their exit to the city. "Where are we going?"

"I still don't trust Dorian," Link said. "We need to stay ahead of him as much as possible. We're getting that sword."
