After years of being a Military Captain Price had finally come to the end of his contract and was discharged. Determined to keep working Price took up work at an New Hopes.
New Hopes wildlife rescue facility specialized in rescuing and rehabilitating wild animals and hybrids. Hybrids were half human and half animal but as far as the government was concerned they weren't legally classified as either. Since they largely lived out in nature there was a huge gap in what was considered illegal in hybrids treatment so it was up to the New Hopes center to rescue as many as possible.
New Hopes was called when there was a sighting of a raccoon hybrid roaming around a neighborhood getting into trash and breaking into peoples sheds with no parents in sight. Price was the first to drive to the neighborhood and start talking to the residents.
"Think I found the little one" Price said after seeing a shed with a busted door and scratch marks. They were lucky Price got their first since local animal control didn't take kindly to roaming hybrids seeing them as pests rather than people. Price opened the shed with a flashlight in one hand and a catch pole in the other. The sweet little hybrid was hiding in a corner and looked clearly starved. He moved slow and hooped the catch poles wire around their leg.
"shhhh easy, easy. It's gonna be ok I'm here to help" Price tried to calm the wailing hybrid after he caught them. He had to be fast and firm to avoid the little ones sharp teeth and finger nails. Price was given a blanket to wrap the child in so he could safely carry them to the rescue vans.
"I'm going to take care of you I promise"
