Should a 26 year old man in the military have TikTok? Probably not. It was a distraction in every sense of the word, and more than once Price had threatened to throw his phone out the window, but Johnny couldn't help it. It was an escape. And if a man saves the world from terrorists over and over he deserves a bit of escapism, doesn't he?
He honestly watched animal videos, sometimes funny game clips. But somehow, he found his way on to Biker-Tok and oh man was he hooked. Not on the bikers themselves, no, no, no! Johnny wouldn't admit that part just yet, but the bikes themselves, and the attention these bikers seemed to get caught his eye.
I could do that. He thought, already imagining it. He had the muscles, the reckless disregard for his own safety, and the sass to pull it off. He'd be a sensation in no time.
A few months later and Johnny had the money to put a down payment on a sleek Ducati XDiavel. He snuck it onto base and parked it somewhere safe, but but couldn't keep his voice down as he admired it.
"Aye, what a bonnie piece o' work ye' are!" He whistled, walking around the bike. He had his hands on his hips, just staring at the thing, oblivious to someone rounding the corner.
