Hi friends! I'm back with a new fic. Those who are waiting for an update on 'My lost Family', all I can say is that I'm stuck with the end. I need sometime to think how I want to end. Until then I wrote this to clear my mind. I hope you guys like the first chapter.

Sorry for mistakes

Enjoy :-)))

Jack pressed on the break pedal and got out of his car. The agent whistled knocking at Mac's door "Open up Mac! Duty calls" Jack waited for few seconds before knocking again, this time more harder "Don't tell me you've overslept. Mac you in there?"

Jack looked around narrowing his broad brows. Why wasn't his friend answering the door. Usually the boy gets ready for work before he does so what made today a different day. He pulled out his cell and dialled Mac's number but it came switched off. His spidey senses immediately told him something was wrong. Jack knelt down to pick up a flower pot and took the key to Mac's house (by the way it was his idea so he could enter the house in case of emergency, which was totally the case today)

Jack cautiously stepped in praying mentally that history was not repeating again when Murdoc had kidnapped Mac. He scanned the hall and found nothing out of place "Mac? Are you here bud?"

A muffled moan

Jack's eyes shot upstairs towards Mac's bedroom. He took two steps at a time, heart hammering against his ribcage "Mac?" he pushed the door open and nearly gasped at the scene

Mac was curled up on the bed, eyes shut close and face scrunched in pain. His hands were tightly wrapped over his stomach and sweat covered his body wetting the sheets below. Jack crossed the distance and placed his hand on Mac's shoulder "Mac? Are you alright?" ofcourse he could see the boy was far from alright but he didn't know what else to say

Mac cracked his eyes open which were cloudy and tinged with red. He clenched his teeth and forced his tongue to work "N..No" he managed to wheeze out. Mac felt his abdominal muscles were clenching with pain. His eyes were stinking with burning tears and every single nerve in his body felt like was on fire

Jack's hand hovered over Mac's pale body. He didn't know what was hurting the boy so badly. What if he makes it worse. Jack slowly placed his hand on Mac's arm "What's hurting kid? C'mon talk to me"

"My...st..Stomach" Mac let out a loud yell as the doubled and he curled even further. Jack's eyes widened. Something was seriously wrong with his friend and he had to act quickly "Okay...okay I hear you kid. Ah...yeah okay...let's go to hospital. We can't wait for 911. It will take too much time. C'mon Mac...let me help you"

Mac yelped in pain when Jack tried to help him out of the bed "Sorry...take it easy...here lean on me" the agent spoke softly. Mac's hand were still tightly wrapped over his stomach and Jack could see he was visibly in agony. What the hell was wrong with the kid?

"I got you...easy...watch the steps" Jack held Mac by his arms and gently guided him down the stairs ignoring the occasional hisses and grunts from his partner. He wished the front door could come closer to him. Finally they are out where Jack opened the passenger door and delicately helped Mac into the seat without hurting him further. Mac's breathing became irregular as another pain shot through his stomach "Hu...Hurry"

Jack nodded and closed the door running towards the driver's seat. He slammed hard on the gas pedal "Hang on kid. Give me five minutes...just five minutes"

The ride was blur to Mac because his mind refused to work anymore. All he could think was one word, PAIN. He had woken up to an intense pain in his stomach which demanded his attention immediately. He tried to ride out for few minutes but then it got worse and the boy hunched into fetal position. His hands reached out for his cell. Mac cursed when he saw his cell battery had died. He then tried to get up but couldn't even sit upright without screaming in pain. In the end he decided to wait for Jack knowing he was most probably on his way to pick him up for work.

Jack gripped the wheel tightly until his knuckles went white. To say he was worried would be a understatement because he was so close to having a heart attack. He wouldn't be surprised if the doctors decided to admit him along with his friend. How many more gray hairs do you plan to give me kid, thought Jack and glanced beside him. His heart clenched on seeing the boy in so much pain. The agent had seen many times Mac suffer before with injuries and wounds but this was totally different case. He had no idea what was causing the pain and it frustrated him to no limits. He drove to nearest hospital since it would take longer to reach Phoenix foundation.

Jack jumped out of the vehicle when they reached hospital and again helped Mac out who seemed like he was going to pass out any second. Jack wished he did so he would suffer less. He held the boy by his shoulders supporting most of his weight and walked in the hospital "Help! I need help!"

A gurney was rolled infront of them by two male nurses. Jack and one of the nurse helped Mac gently lay on the hard surface "What seems to be the problem?" asked one of the doctor who came rushing towards their side

"He is having severe pain in his stomach ..I don't know what's wrong" Jack worried voice didn't go unnoticed by the doctor who was now checking Mac's pupils "Okay no problem...We'll take it from here. Could you tell the nurse what had the patient eaten last night. I'm taking him for scanning"

Mac tried to focus on his friend. He held his hand out and was glad Jack gripped it tightly "Th..Thanks" he croaked out. The agent smiled assuringly "You're in good hands buddy. Stay strong okay. I'm right here"

"We gotta go now" said the doctor and Mac was whisked away from Jack who stood alone in the hallway, praying for his partner's health

"What are we going to do Marcus? The cops will be here any minute and I have no intentions of getting arrested. You said you would help me...if I get arrested then I'm going to..." Rodney hissed at Dr Marcus who was a senior surgeon in the hospital

Dr Marcus gritted his teeth "Don't remind Rodney! I'll get the job done. I'll protect you" he heard a knock and scowled "Who is it?"

A junior doctor walked in "Sir we've an emergency. Looks like patient's appendix has bursted. We need you at the theatre"

Dr Marcus was about to deny when a idea popped in his mind "Get the patient ready. I'll be there in ten minutes" he saw other doctor leave and then turned to grin at Rodney "Give it to me. I'll take care of it. You can leave without any fear...no cops will be able to catch you"

Rodney handed him a small white envelope "What do you have in mind?" Dr Marcus smiled "Trust me. You're going to love it"

INSIDE OPERATION THEATRE

Mac was made to wear white gown as he was carefully laid on the operating table. His eyes and mind was fuzzy not fully registering all the people running around him. One poked a needle, one placed a oxygen mask over his mouth and one checked his vitals.

A face hovered over Mac and he blinked in confusion "Relax kid. My name is Dr Paul Marcus. You've bursted your appendix so I'm going to operate you. Take a deep breath and close your eyes" the doctor was handed a anaesthetic who slowly injected into Mac's IV "Sleep son...everything is going to be alright when you.."

That was the last words Mac heard before his eyes drooped close and he lost conscious.

Soooo how was it? Continue? Anyone? Please leave a review and do tell me :-)))
