Thank you guys so much for all of the comments; I really appreciate them! Anyway, happy reading!
Jack woke up in a large room. He was strapped very tightly to a chair that was connected to the floor. In front of him, there was a table of tools, Jack would call them.
Then he remembered again what had happened. Mac. He had been dying, from the look on Jake's face. He had been shot again. He was crashing. That was bad.
Anxious to look around the room more, Jack got out of his dazed state and tried to focus as much as possible. He could see the tools more clearly now and the brick wall that lined the room. Uh-oh. This was going to get really bad.
To the left of him was the same boy as the room before. No, it was Mac. Jack was now struggling with his memories and vision. What Jack could see were bloodied bandages on Mac's gunshot wounds and everything else that had contributed to him almost dying. He was hanging from the ceiling with his wrists, though. He knew what they were going to do.
As if on cue, the man from before walked in. He looked exactly the same, so Jack couldn't have been passed out too long. He was angry. Jack could now not count the amount of bad things going on right now.
Since Mac was not waking up, the man decided to talk, but in a harsh voice, "Hello, Jack Dalton, again. Are you ready to talk? As you saw previously, I am not afraid to hurt him."
Jack looked at him and didn't do anything. He was getting really mad now. The man looked so much like Mac and it bugged him. Jack didn't know what he would do if they pushed Mac over his limit.
The man stepped forward, "Fine. I guess that if you will not tell me anything, I will tell you about Mac and I. My name is Tor Gym Conclave. It is an anagram of my real name; our father had a sense of humor. Mac and I are brothers. Different mom, same dad. Angus MacGyver is 12 years older than me. Our father was not a good man. Once Mac's mother died, our father went off to make my family, leaving poor Angus alone with his grandfather. Jake met Marissa, his wife, and then had me. I had a great childhood, no parents dying or abandoning me. Marissa is actually still alive, I am surprised. She didn't really agree with our father's ways. Fast forward, we hear that a US agency has stolen our files, and it just happens to be MacGyver. So, just hire a trained abductor to get passed highly trained agents and get an injured Mac, mission ¾ of the way completed. Easy. Any questions?"
Jack just looked at him. This topped everything emotional that had happened. Mac's father left him to start another family because his wife died. This was going to hurt Mac very badly.
Tor went to Mac and shook his upper thigh. His wrists looked really red and irritated from hanging in very coarse ropes. He also looked very pale, considering all of what he had endured, that was expected.
Mac opened his eyes and looked completely exhausted. He knew what was going to happen, so he tried to focus more to block out the pain when it came. He did it successfully, even though he had a pretty bad migraine.
"Oh, Jaaack! Are you ready to talk now?" Tor said to Jack, hoping he said no. He felt that he needed to be doing this to show Mac that the brightest people can have people that abandon them and end up falling, wanting Mac to be the example.
Jack looked at Mac. Upon seeing the 'no' face, Jack shook his head and said no to Mac's brother. He was never going to get used to saying that.
"Alrighty, then. I have been wanting to use some old tools that we haven't used in a while due to... 'horribly trained in interrogation' agents. Let's see," Tor paused, looking at the assortment of all the tools he could use that were the downfall of some agents, "we will use the picana. I am sure you will like that!
As soon as it made contact with Mac's wrapped gunshot wound on his shoulder, he screamed, not really thinking about Jack, who was in the room with him. It hurt so much that even if he did process Jack, which always meant safety, being here, he still would have screamed.
"Ready to talk now?" Jack heard someone say that, not really registering it. He was too busy on his partner that was being brutally tortured that he didn't notice him do it again. And again. And again. Until he passed out.
When was Phoenix, if they even were, getting here?
Phoenix Foundation
Riley and Bozer had pulled themselves together and were in the war room with many Phoenix agents that were done with sweeping Mac and Bozer's house, not finding anything else but the dog tags. Matty was going to give a debrief about what had happened and give a mission.
"Everyone, listen up," Matty said, very demanding yet gentle, "Angus MacGyver is still missing, he was not in the warehouse that was on the dog tags. Jack Dalton has just been taken too. These agents were taken by Tor G. Conclave, an acronym for Colton MacGyver. If we find Colton, we find Dalton and MacGyver. Now, we have had recent credit card purchases by someone with the name of Mar Volt Cogency, another anagram for Colton MacGyver, to let his people know he was safe. I want everyone to be tracing him to raiding abandoned warehouses. Good luck."
Riley went up to her boss after everyone with tac gear was out of the room, "Are you okay? I mean no one is okay with this, but how much of this are you putting this on yourself?" when Matty didn't respond, Riley continued, "You shouldn't be doing that. It couldn't have ended differently."
Matty gave a small smile. Now she knew why she liked Riley so much. She wasn't a drama queen, but she wasn't serious all the time. She was well-balanced.
"Thank you, Riley. I really appreciate that. Are you okay? Jack is very close to you," Matty said, wondering if she was having a silent breakdown.
Riley had a pondering look on her face, "Yeah, I am fine. It hasn't caught up to me yet. I hope it happens after the mission when we have them back, because we will."
... And selfless.
Matty nodded, "Thank you. I have just had my fair share of wins and losses, and I forget how talented my own team is. Because, truthfully, you guys are amazing and I wouldn't have anyone else."
Before Riley could respond, a man in a tac vest came in, "Ma'am, we have found the car that was used to take Jack Dalton to their site. Would you like Miss Davis to look at it?"
Matty nodded and Riley soon had the vehicle's image in grasp, typing away to get a match, "Yes. It is a match to a Mar V. Cogency, Colton MacGyver's alias. It leads to an abandoned place downtown. What would you like to do, Matty?"
Matty looked interested, "Cooper, take 3 teams down to that warehouse to check it out. Report back to me as soon as you get there. Understood?"
Cooper nodded and headed out of the war room, leaving Matty and Riley to their thoughts since neither spoke.
You can get out of this, blondie, Matty thought.
You may be old, but you can still take down a couple of guys! Riley thought.
Both women had faith in Jack and Mac to get out. Hopefully they weren't expecting too much from the Phoenix agents.
Hope you enjoyed! There are only two more chapters left. :-)
