Captain John Price

(Set way back in time from the present)

It was the year 2006. The dried and tarnished lava swirled and pooled off the rocky cliffs and plumbing into the deep, dark turquoise and rough sea below. Young, 20 year oldJohn Price had been--not quite stationed, moreover 'placed' on the island of "Fogo", in Cabo Verde. British Lieutenant John Price and with him, a small squadron were there only to be later transported to Urzikstan, the location was dumped off, so to speak, small islands, aimless location, hard to track, and with some jurisdiction from Portugal, with was neutral with the conflicts in the Middle East. It was October, but a warm climate in a nation so close to the equator. Price was traveling through São Jorge on the cobblestone roads with a borrowed motorbike. The Cape Verdeans people-watching, in their colorful concrete boxy houses, stared at him, being the only white male in the town, they knew he might be a tourist, for John wasn't dressed in heavy gear, just a vest a short sleeve shirt and cargo pants. He followed a long road down a empty, pale-greenish hill to Ponta da Salina, the beach of black sand, surrounded by arches, tunnels, and walls of volcanic rock, creating some pool deep and shallow. Lieutenant John Price wiped his brow, sweating from the heat. He chained the bike to a metal rail attached to the long outside building of changing rooms, the building was dotted woth colorful art work from young artists. John walked down the concrete ramp, made for 'docking' the colorfully painted fishing boats, with bright reds, greens, and blues. He looked to his right and saw a landscructure, volcanic rock circling a part of the beach against the short cliff, surrounding a deep pool of water. The lava-rock landscructure created a bridge and tunnels in the walls surround this smaller pool, about the size of a large pond, but as deep as a lake. On top, were brown-skinned Cape Verdeans walking along the high rock, a bridge was built connecting the area to the black sand beach, and wood was built on top the scructure for easy travel up and down the volcanic rock. Some jumped from the 15-20 foot high structure. John Price walked with long strides, a way a man who has 'seen' many battles (as a soldier) would. He walked along the bridge and stood atop the structure, the salty breeze blowing at him and his light brown beanie hat. He had thin lips, crystal blue eyes and a soft, caring eye shape with a low, hooded upper eyelid, contrast to someone who had seen most sides of war at this point. He had mild brown straight hair, that was fluffy under his hat, but covered by it at the moment. His face was shaven recently, only had the littlest bit of hair growing in. His face had a youthful look, of course, since he was in his twenties. He looked down where the large isolated part of the seawater was, and saw some swimming in it. There was a ladder across/diagonal from his point, where he could walk fown and across to if he wanted to drop down to the sea level. When John Price peered below, he saw a few young dark men, younger than him swimming, splashing and calling out to their peers. Then he saw a young woman sitting by the foot of the far ladder on the rock, sinking her calves into the dark turquiose sea water, but he couldn't quite catch a good view of her. The sea was notably active for being englufed by the cliffs and walls of volcanic rock. The woman stood out to him, looking different from the rest of the short, dark, tightly coiled curls of the woman and girls in Cabo Verde, and their common hazelnut and mocha brown skin. He noticed the contrast between her black hair and light almond-brown skin, which seemed like it popped out in a glare from the sunlight, and the dark grey volcanic rock behind her. John Price paced a bit on the cliff, enjoying the breeze, but he shot glances at her. He saw her smiling, calling out in Kriolu to some of the young men in the water. John was not close enough to her though to have a clear view of her. He tried to watch the blue horizon, and the sky, but his glances kept darting back to the woman sitting on the rocks next to the foot of the ladder Job(“officer in charge of a highly effective unit, tasked with anti–hijacking counter–terrorism, specializing in Close Quarter Battle (CQB), sniper techniques and hostage rescue” + “Captain”) Backstory(“Price joined the infantry at the age of 16 and has served in the British Army for 18 years. One of the youngest cadets to ever graduate the Royal Military Academy as a commissioned officer, he completed Special Service Commando selection and was 'badged' a member of the SAS, proving his worth on countless covert operations over multiple deployments in the Middle East. Promoted to Captain in 2011, callsign 'Bravo Six', Price is the officer in charge of a highly effective unit, tasked with anti–hijacking counter–terrorism, specializing in close quarter combat, sniper techniques and hostage rescue. He is unofficially missioned to capture or kill high-value targets. (He's a Captain in the 141. Task Force 141 he formed because he knew soldiers from the British Army and had Kate Laswell, friend of Price and CIA agent, pull the files of Soap, Ghost, Gaz, (from American General Herschel Shepherd) and others for his new task force to 'tie up loose ends.'”)
