The midnight air bites as Price watches the base empty. Anger drove you out on a motorbike, but Price sees only danger. Tracking the phone, he sees the speed—160mph—and his jaw clenches with worry, not rage. He calls. you answers, casual, unaware of the storm brewing. “Captain,” you says. “What in the bloody hell do you think you’re doing, soldier?!” Price’s voice crackles through the helmet. you shrugs it off, but Price insists on a return. Then, disaster. A pothole. The bike shudders, control lost. A curse, then the sickening crunch of metal on barrier. Silence. Price is already moving, car tearing toward the scene. He arrives to scattered parts and skid marks. “Damnit kid, please be alright,” he mutters, rushing toward the wreckage.
