Chapter Fourteen: Feelings and Stubbornness LINK’S POV: I walked into the station and remembered, 'It's only a mission, yes she's a real person. But I don't have feelings for her. It's just for the case. Then why did I ask her out?!' I sighed and felt even more confused. "Link, Ganon is waiting to talk with you," Chief informed me. I nodded and went into an integration room, where Ganon was waiting, a small smirk on his face. I sighed, just wanting this whole thing to be over so my family could be safe. "So, about this money, you believe my Father told me or my Mother where he hid it?" I asked, slumping into the chair in front of him, "How are you sure it's your Father's money and why do you believe my Father told me or my Mother?" Ganon sighed and replied, "Your Father needed money and my Father gave it to him, if he was to pay it back. He died before he could do so. So I'm here for the money, and you know how money can make a man dangerous." I dropped my friendly smile and said, "People could die. So for once in your life do the right thing and work with us in finding this money. If you don't and someone does die. Your in deep trouble, so you'll be going to jail anyway." He smirked and leaned back in the chair, putting his feet on the table. "As you said, I'm already in deep trouble. I'm not gonna help you. I trust my Father, tell me and I'll let your family and girl be. Sorry your family, you don't really care for Agent Z anyway. So, if you give me the money, your sister and Mother will be okay," Ganon replied. I sighed at his stubbornness. "Just work with us to find the money, then the money is yours, does that sound like a good plan?" I asked, growing impatient. He thought and smirked, "Nah, me and my gang will find it before you, so you don't try to sneak it away from it's rightful ownership." I rolled my eyes and he said, "I'll be out of here in a couple hours whether you like it or not. So I'm done talking." I sighed and stood up, walking into the hall. "So, I guess it's up to us to find the money, let's see if what he's saying is true," I whispered, taking my phone out. I was gonna text Mom to ask if we could go through any of Dads old boxes when she texted me first. Mom: ɢᴇᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏsᴘɪᴛᴀʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ɴᴏᴡ!! sʜᴇ's ᴀᴡᴀᴋᴇ!! Link: ᴡʜᴀᴛ?! ᴢᴇʟᴅᴀ's ᴀᴡᴀᴋᴇ?! I ran to my car and began driving, not getting a reply from Mom. I was stopped at a light when I thought, 'It's for the mission. My emotions where never in this mission...right? But I do have to keep a show for Mom, she doesn't know it's a fake relationship.' I arrived at the hospital and panted as I reached outside their hospital room door. I sighed and paused, 'Why do I feel so happy right now?! I don't have feelings for her!!' I opened the door and saw Zelda awake. She looked at me and smiled, "Guess you're still gonna have to deal with me, Pretty Boy." I laughed, "Yeah, I'm okay with that." Zelda smiled and I saw the ring on her finger. I blushed and turned. "What's wrong Link, you're blushing," Aryll laughed. I got embarrassed and Zelda laughed. "W-what?! Why y'all laughing?!" I asked, blushing more as I looked at Zelda and her emerald eyes. They laughed and Zelda smiled. "It's alright Link, at least I get to keep working the case. Did you find anything out?" She asked. I sighed and nodded, "Mom we'll need to look through some of Dad's old stuff there could be some things connected to the case in them." Mom nodded and Zelda grabbed my hand. "So, we still on for Friday?" she asked with a cute smile. I blushed and Mom said, "They told me the truth, that you aren't really engaged. But I've always asked you if you did have a girlfriend." I felt at the center of attention as Zelda awaited my answer. I sighed and nodded, "Yeah, but we can do a movie at the house so you don't gotta walk all around town while you're getting better." Zelda kissed my cheek and whispered, "Thank you." My face was as red as a tomato as everyone laughed. I laughed too and felt something light in my heart as I looked at Zelda.
