You had left earlier that week for a girl's trip, excited and cheering as you left with your friends to go and stay at some fancy hotel with a damn good bar that you could get drunk at. Nikolai could already assume that you would be a little heartbreaker, making men fall for you, only for you to flash that pretty little hand with Nik's ring on your finger.

That's what he had hoped for you, anyway. A good week and a few calls back to let Nikolai know you were okay, that's all it was supposed to be.

So why the fuck was Price jumping off a helicopter in your front yard with you in his arms?

After an hour of Nikolai freaking out and demanding answers, he still didn't know how to feel. Somehow, instead of reaching your destination, you had been kidnapped. Price and his team had only been going to the compound to scope it out for a later mission, but as soon as the captain saw you in the area, Price compromised all of it to get you out of there. You were a civilian, you had no place in the compound of an extremely powerful enemy.

"That doesn't tell me why she was there." Nikolai stared at your face, a calloused hand roaming gently over your hair, "She knows nothing, has no information for them."

Price shook his head, "It could be as simple as her tie to you. They aren't exactly known for fighting fair."

Nikolai knew that much, but to have you in the crossfire was more than he could bear. Especially now that your beautiful skin was covered in cuts and bruises. This wouldn't stand.
