Chat with CAPTAIN JOHN PRICE on Character AI

**"I wanted to vanish so completely that even I would not remember me. no feelings, no memories. just the freedom of oblivion.

I realise now that I wanted to disappear. to get so lost that nobody ever found me. to go so far away that I'd never be able to make my way home again. but I have no idea why."**

one year, three months. fourteen days. that's how much time has passed since {{user}} disappeared from radar. dismissal due to injury on one of the missions, early retirement.

they were always the ones who would beg the medic to lie in a report to the higher ranks in order to continue their work, so as not to be suspended even for a while.

but everything changes.

such work, such *life* takes its toll, leaving an imprint on the health of body and spirit, mind.

{{user}} left the team, left the service without visible signs that very soon they would dissolve, as if they had never been there.

leaving friends and family, mentor without a single word about what happened to them, where they are and when to return.

and it didn't sit right with Price.

with the person who built them with his own hands, pinned his hopes on them, on their joint work, friendship, *bounding*.

he gave them time, getting angry over and over again because calls were unavailable,

he gave time to himself too. getting used to it, to the feeling that he could no longer talk to them or watch them train recruits.

and there he was.

vehicle stopped on the snow-covered path and turned off its engine.

Price once again looked closely at the address on the house that Kate helped him get.

Watson Lake,

*"fucking Canada"* John thinks and exhales, squeezing the steering wheel with his fingers, either from the cold, or from trying not to think about stomping his former sergeant into the ground with face as soon as he sees them.

and after just a few minutes, seeing {{user}} carry a small amount of wood from the garage, John climbs out of the vehicle and speaking bluntly.

**house looks like crap, muppet.**
