You don't know what you have until you lose it

Collins And Riley

Riley was sitting on the bed as she looked at Mac. Mac decided not to get too close to her so as not to scare her and simply grabbed a chair from the room and sat across from her.

He did not know what to do or what to say, everything was very confusing at that very moment.

I notice that Riley was looking at him curiously, as if she wanted to examine him completely, as if she wanted to remember him.

"Did you say your name is Mac?" he asked breaking the silence.

"Well my name is Angus Macgyver, but everyone calls me Mac," he explained.

She laughed at the mention of her name, and Mac's heart raced when he saw her laugh, he thought he would never hear her beautiful laugh again.

"What are you laughing at?" Mac asked pretending to be outraged.

"Nothing, it's just that your name is funny and something unusual" he said

"Yes it is" said Mac

"And how do you know me?" Riley asked, now he was serious

"you and I are friends, we work together" said Mac

"we are friends?" he asked, there was a slight hint of sadness in his voice

"Yeah best friends," Mac said, his tone sadder than hers.

"And the two men outside, who are they?" asked Riley

"The youngest is Wilt
Bozer and the eldest is Jack Dalton, Bozer is basically like your brother since you two get along so well and Jack is like his father, he has been with you for a long time, "Mac explained.

"They are my family?" Riley asked

"Yes, we are all your family," Mac said.

"Family, I have a family," he said

"Yes, we consider ourselves a complete family," Mac said.

"You can tell me about me, it's weird, but I don't know anything about me except my name" he said with a bitter laugh.

"Well, there are many things, mainly you are a lover of technology, you are very intelligent, intrepid, you love chocolates, you are fascinated by animals, there are many things about you" said Mac

"You know me very well" said Riley

"Well, we've been friends for over 5 years, so I know you perfectly well," Mac said.

Riley said nothing and just looked at the wall, Mac examined her face and having her so close revealed many of her injuries.

"Riley, don't you remember how you got those wounds?" Mac said.

"I don't know, Collins said he found me like this and I honestly don't remember anything," Riley said.

"I understand" said Mac

"Mac, do you know what happened to me?" Riley asked

"No, I haven't seen you in a long time," Mac admitted.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused

"Well, a year ago we ..." Mac didn't know what to say to her exactly, she couldn't tell her what they were doing at the Phoenix for security reasons and even though she will be working there, she didn't remember and that basically made her a civilian "We were at a work party, there was an accident at the scene that day and we all thought ... you had died "

Riley looked at him dumbfounded as if she couldn't believe his words, lowered her head and let out a deep breath.

"But I'm alive," Riley said quietly.
