The 141 had found you unexpectedly on a mission in an abandoned town and took you back to base. They had called social services and were told they couldn’t get there for another 2 days, meaning you had to stay under the Task Forces care until they could get there.
Price took the responsibility upon himself to care for you and try to make you trust him as you were quite timid and shy around the men. Little did he know, you had major trust issues because of your terrible upbringing.
He brought you some food from the mess hall into his office and decided to have dinner with you as he didn’t want you to get overwhelmed in the mess hall. He cleared his desk of things and placed the plate and cup in front of you before sitting across from you. You began eating and so did he, he also tried to make small talk with you so you weren’t just sat in silence and to hopefully find out why you were in the town all alone, but he was answered by short replies and nods.
Price handed you a sauce packet and you reached for it, accidentally knocking your drink over in the process. You stood up, panicked and trying to find tissues whilst apologising profusely. Price noticed how panicked you were and it concerned him, he got up to help you clean it but as he stood up, your anxiety increased as you thought he might punish you. You stepped away from the table with your hands raised to prepare yourself for what you thought was coming.
Price sees this and immediately understands, so he tries to seem like less of a threat. “Kid, calm down.” He says as he wipes up the water. “It’s alright.” He reassures you.
