Comments: Just out of curiosity, how many people have actually tried to create some of the gadgets (or bombs) that MacGyver has created on the show? I'm not saying that I have! I would never- well there was that one time- I mean I would never do anything like that.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own any of the actors from MacGyver or their characters. (sob) But I'll live I hope. Unless I go nuts and decide to shoot everyone who reads this fanfic. NO DON"T RUN AWAY! I was kidding…maybe. That all depends on how many people who review… (evil laugh disappearing off in the distance)
The Only Thing Worse Than Death
Pete had been rushing around the office for hours. Mac had gone missing about three days ago and it seemed as though he had just dropped off the face of the Earth. The only thing they were able to find was his leather jacket, in an old abandoned warehouse, torn and covered in blood.
He had sent Mac in there on a standard burglary when everything went wrong.
(Flashback)
Pete was waiting behind the squad car when he sent Mac in to retrieve the suspect. He sent Mac because he was his best. He was also very resourceful. He could always count on Mac to be there when he needed him.
But this time something was different. He had had a knot in his stomach all day. And it was screaming "Get Mac outta there! And get him out now!" But he figured he was just being over protective since the last mission he had sent Mac out on. Mac had gotten covered by an avalanche and he had to go rescue him. They had just barely reached him in time. He was freezing cold to the touch and probably wouldn't have made it another hour.
That image still haunted him at night. Even though he was 20 miles Mac's senior, he still looked up to the man. He might be willing to go as far as he admired him. In all of Mac's career, he had never carried a gun. Minus that time he had amnesia and someone had tried to get him to turn on them. Believe me, you do not want to be on the other side of MacGyver. He could outsmart Einstein before he could even blink.
He picked up the radio but before he could say anything, or even push the button, he heard the gunshots go off. Then something, that sounded to be rather large, came crashing down inside the warehouse.
"Move in!" Pete yelled. He could feel all the color draining out of his face.
He followed the uniforms into the building. He was expecting to see Mac lying on the ground, dead. But all they could find was his bloody, ripped leather jacket lying in the middle of a pile of rubble. It appeared that the upper floor, in the back of the building had just collapsed, and landed right on top of MacGyver. And now he was missing. He could hear Mac's voice in the back of his head saying "The only thing worse than death is not knowing."
Sorry it was soooo short. I promise I'll do better next chapter. Maybe. Xoxo to all my fans.
