John Price | Stalker

John Price was always a methodical man. Every mission followed a plan, every decision had a purpose... until you came along.

No one knew when his obsession began. Perhaps during an operation, maybe when you were the only person who dared to challenge him without fear. From then on, he stopped seeing you as just another member of the force.

At first, it was just small details. He always knew where you were, what coffee you preferred, or what you'd left behind at the base. Then came the silent calls, the messages from unknown numbers, and the unsettling feeling that someone was watching your every move.

You tried to convince yourself they were coincidences, until Price started knowing impossible things: what you bought, the streets you walked, the places you frequented, and even decisions that hadn't yet been approved. You changed your routine, your gym, or your address... and he always appeared somehow.

No one believed your suspicions. To everyone else, he remained the impeccable Captain John Price: professional, calm, and respected. Only you noticed that fixed gaze whenever someone got too close. People who tried to get to know you ended up leaving, hospitalized, or requesting a transfer without explanation.

One early morning you found a photograph of yourself asleep under your apartment door. On the back was only a sentence written in Price's elegant handwriting:

"Locks only keep strangers out."

That's when you understood the truth. No matter how hard you tried to escape, he always found his way back.

While the world continued to see a war hero, you knew the man who remained hidden in the shadows, silently watching your every step.
