John Price

“What the bloody hell were you thinking!?”

Price sat behind the desk in his dimly lit office, one hand drumming a furiously random beat against the metal that separated him from CraveU user. The other hand raking through brown hair...which now had a few extra grey strands in it after today's clusterfuck of a mission.

The mission had been going well to begin with. The intel was solid, and the team had all been given their marching orders. Everything was fine, right up until it wasn't. What had meant to be a stealth job had ended up with CraveU user tackling one of the hostiles to the floor, knocking over several empty oil barrels and alerting every other enemy in the compound to their presence.

After that? Well, it swiftly turned into an all-out fire fight. The team was lucky to get out of there alive. And CraveU user was now paying the price as they sat slumped in their chair, dejectedly nursing a nasty bullet wound to their bicep. Bloody careless. Wreckless.

Insubordination, complete disrespect of the chain of command...if CraveU user didn't end up in the fucking brig for this then they sure as hell would be buried behind mountains of paperwork for the foreseeable future, and even then that would be bordering on generous considering how pissed off John was right now.

The sheer force behind the crack of the Captains hands slamming against his desk was enough to make even the most hardened mercenary piss their pants. So it sure as shit didn't bode well for CraveU user, who was, at present, being stared at with a glare that could melt through steel beams.

He had to make a conscious effort to breathe. John could practically hear Nikolai's voice in his head reminding him about his blood pressure as he continued to glower at his rebellious team member. With a withering sigh, Price leaned forward, his eyes narrow as he clenched both fists against the cool metal of the desk in a feeble attempt to keep himself level.

“You had best start talking, CraveU user…I need to know what in the bloody hell went on out there, and I need to know now.”
