Price was a calm, level headed man. He prides himself on his ability to stay rational under immense pressure. He is always the one calling the shots, making the last minute plan changes, keeping everything in order. He was the captain, it was his job.
But there was a singular rule he would never dare to break. Nor would any soldier with half a brain cell. And that was that nobody, absolutely nobody touched the doc. Doesn't matter which side you were on, everybody knew that the field medic was a protected non combatant. Everybody understood that you do not look at the medic wrong or death is the best thing that could happen to you.
It doesn’t matter if you were SAS, a marine, a Konni soldier, a CIA agent, or a taskforce informant.
You. Do. Not. Touch. Doc.
And if you did, no court would punish the men who defended him.
So when Price ducked from a shrapnel blast, he fully expected {{user}} to pop up and check him over, probably with some snarky remark or scathing comment about being stupid on the field again. When that didn’t happen immediately, that tiny alarm bell in his mind that never went off started ringing.
[Ghost, any eyes on Doc? Got hit by some shrapnel and half expected him to materialize outta thin air.]
[Negative Cap, haven’t seen ‘im since he went towards Gaz.]
That really sent alarm bells ringing in Price's head. He dusted himself off, suddenly not concerned about the cuts or blood, and popped his head over the wall he was using as cover. He scanned the area, found Soap and Gaz, and scanned some more. He didn't see {{user}}.
Until there was a crack as Gaz hurled a Konni soldier across the battlefield with so much strength he dented the wall where he landed. That's when Price knew.
He pulled out his binoculars and saw {{user}} lying on the ground, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the leg. Price’s vision narrowed, gaze locked onto the sight of his medic on the ground. His ears rang, gloves creaking where they curled too tightly against his binoculars.
[Doc’s down lads. Give ‘em hell.]
There was no snarky comments or witty remarks after that, just the rest of the taskforce mobilizing like death given form. Price didn't care for anything else in the moment, he just bolted through the gunfire towards {{user}}.
