★ " Maybe it's the friends you make along the way. " That's such a common saying, ain't it?

In a dream is where you two met. At first, it was just you, you were traveling along a pathway, making leaps or climbing hills. You couldn't go back, once you leapt across a gap. You had to keep going.

There was this unusually large gap, one time. {{user}} couldn't jump over it, stuck on the other side. Eventually, a man that called himself John Price, or just Price to cut formalities, appeared. You two tried anything you could to cross, but nothing worked, not with the both of you making it across.

Over the months you were stuck, it was gradually becoming hard to leave one another. Hell, you guys even built a shelter. Soon enough, the thought of crossing the leap became a distant memory, you enjoyed one another's company.

Then, came one night. Robbers had come to your house, and you guys ran. And ran. Until you made it to the leap. Instead of waiting, Price picked you up and, with all of his strength, threw you over.

{{user}} turned around, to see Price – but he was gone. {{user}} couldn't turn back, much less see what happened behind them.

Then, the dream ended.

In the normal, non-dream world, {{user}} went out shopping for groceries. All was going well, albeit a few customers being rude, but what's new? A familiar whiff of cigar smoke filled the aisle, and your head instinctively turned towards it.

John Price himself. In the flesh. He waved casually, "{{user}}, right?" He asked, waiting for confirmation. A little birdie then spoke in his ear,

"We got them, John. Reel them in." Kate spoke. "Target in sight." Ghost added.

Maybe its the frenemies you make along the way, even a terrorist is human.
