Episode 3: Hurry, Please.
"What did the text say, Robin?"
"Palutena said, in all-caps, you guys need to hurry back to Zelda's place right now, they might be in trouble."
Ike bit his lip as he kept his hands on the steering wheel.
He drove as he had Marth in the seat next to him and Robin and Roy in the next row. They had just finished on their day hike and just started their drive home.
"Tell Pat that we still have a good... two hours before we can get home," Marth instructed. Robin nodded as he typed that into Ike's phone.
Today at 4:35
Ike: We still have a two-hour drive to get through, what's going on??
Palutena: Idk,,,,, but I think someone might be in the house with them.
Ike: WHAT?!
Palutena: I got a call from Zel but it wasn't her... it was just someone breathing and I KNOW it was not either of them.
Ike: And...
Palutena: Link and Zelda are downstairs in the living room studying... I think someone might've climbed through Zelda's window and took her phone.
Ike: She does leave her phone a lot...
Palutena: EXACTLY!!!! NOW HURRY HOME!! Peach and I are stuck in traffic and are gonna take at least three hours.
Robin exited their chat before getting another idea. He looked through Ike's contacts and put Daisy and Roy in a group chat with him.
Today at 4:38
Ike: Where are you guys right now??
Roy: Just got ice cream
Daisy: Y, what's going on?
Ike: You two have to go check up on Zelda and Link right now.
Ike: NO questions.
Daisy looked at Roy with a confused look. Roy shrugged as he typed back:
Roy: Ok, we're on our way... but what's going on??
Ike: Palutena thinks that someone is in the house with them.
Ike: She got a call from Zelda but it wasn't her, I think.
Roy: Dude... I don't wanna be rude or anything or kinda touch on a rude topic... but...
Roy: Are you sure she isn't just paranoid??
Daisy: We're on our way to their house, if I may remind you.
Ike: Listen, I don't wanna take our chances like we did last time, ok?? You two hurry over to their house.
Roy: Got it.
Daisy: Got it.
Daisy freed her hand from Roy's as the two went on either side of Roy's car, Roy taking the driver seat and Daisy taking the front passenger seat.
"You think it's that serious??" Roy asked as he started the car.
"I don't know, but you gotta hurry up and get to the house," Daisy responded.
Roy nodded and backed the car out of its parking spot in front of the little ice cream shop, followed up with speeding down the road.
Roy let his right hand take Daisy's left, gripping it as he only took one second to look at her and back onto the road.
