"I'm sorry Agent Dalton but it seems the patient is suffering from amnesia"
"What?"
The doctor nodded "We asked him few general questions which he was able to answer them but the kid's face went blank when I asked him who he was. He doesn't even remember his name"
"My God"
"I think it's because of the bullet hit he took on his temple"
"How long will it last? I mean he'll get his memory back right?" Jack asked hopefully. The doctor shrugged "To be honest I can't say for sure. The kid's memory could be back today, tomorow or it may take months"
Jack blinked in shock. It was his fault MacGyver had lost his memory. If the boy hadn't taken the bullet then he would be fine right now. The agent gulped down the heavy lump "Can I see him?"
"Sure but please be careful. His mind is very fragile. I don't want him to take any stress. The boy is already scared enough"
Jack nodded and walked towards the room. On entering his eyes locked with the hazel green ones which held nothing but fear in them. The kid looked like a epitome of innocence. The charm was so strong that Jack found himself drawn towards the boy. He walked near the bed where the boy was sitting upright and playing with his IV "How are you feeling MacGyver?"
The boy seemed alert but didn't reply to Jack's question. He scooted to his side "Who..are you? My father?" Jack's heart thumped at the question. Yes sure he was old enough to be a father of a teenage but he didn't expect the boy to assume he was his father "No I'm not your father"
Jack ignored the hurt look on the boy's face "Listen kid..."
"Why don't I..remember anything. What am I doing here? Who are you? Why is the police standing outside my room? Did I do something wrong?" MacGyver started panicking. Suddenly the pain in his head flared up and he clutched his head tightly with both hands "Aaah!"
Jack's eyes widened and he quickly crossed the distance between them "Hey hey relax MacGyver. Don't put too much pressure on your mind. Take it easy kid" he held the boy by his shoulders and gave a light squeeze
The boy relaxed after few seconds but still looked like a lost puppy "What's going on? Will you tell me the truth?" The agent didn't know what to do now. The kid was vulnerable and scared. How could he break the news to him...how could he tell him that he was a criminal who was suppose to be in prison
"Please! No one is answering me. Please tell me who am I" MacGyver pleaded and Jack sighed in defeat. He had to tell the truth. He couldn't break the law. The kid even if was young had to face the law for his crimes "What do you want to know?"
"What's my name?"
"Angus MacGyver"
"What kind of name is that?"
Jack almost laughed but steeled his expression "Yeah.. then we'll call you Mac from now. Good?"
Mac nodded "What happened to me?"
"Ah...you took a bullet to your head that was meant for me. You saved my life"
"A bullet?" Mac's eyes widened "What was I doing with a bullet?"
Jack huffed out a breath "I'm a FBI agent. My name is Jack Dalton. I was on a mission when this accident happened. I don't know what you were doing in the warehouse" he lied. The agent just couldn't tell the truth. Jack decided he would have to wait until Mac was healthy enough to take the news of him being a criminal
"Oh" Mac screwed his face in confusion "Mr Dalton..."
"Call me Jack kid"
Mac nodded "Where are my parents?"
"We don't know. This is our first meeting but my team is trying its best to find your parents. I'm sorry Mac"
Mac bit his quivering lip "Jack what's going to happen now?" Jack ran a hand on his face, frustration leaking from his eyes "I don't know kid. I'll have to talk to my superior. Let's see what she has to say. Are you sure you don't remember anything at all?"
"I'm not lying!"
"Take it easy bud. I'm just asking. What about the bruises on your body? Do you know who did this to you?"
Mac shook his head and wrapped his arms around himself "I'm sorry...everything is blank..I can't remember" Jack sighed "You take rest" he turned around to walk out of the room when Mac called out "Will you come back?"
Jack's heart clenched at the request. He had literally met the boy but still found himself getting attach to him "I'll be back soon" he saw the boy sagged his shoulders in relief and lay back down
AT BUREAU
"What!? You want to send Mac to juvie?" Jack nearly yelled at his Boss. Matilda raised her perfectly sculpted eyebrows "Mac? Since when MacGyver is Mac to you Dalton?"
Jack swallowed thickly "He is a kid Matty"
"A criminal" Matty reminded
"Yeah a criminal who is still a kid. He's sixteen and doesn't even remember his name! He is very scared right now and you know what kind of place juvie is"
"Agent Dalton..."
"Plus someone has to keep an eye on him. We don't know when his memory will return. What if runs away" Jack said feeling proud of his argument
Matty thought for a while before gave her consent "Fine! What is your suggestion? We have to find a place for him"
"Mac can stay with me" Jack blurted out before he could stop himself. Matty was shocked at this decision "What?"
"Ah...yeah...I mean why not? He did save my life so technically I owe to the kid. If he stays with me I can always keep an eye on Mac. Until then my team will investigate more on him...about his past or parents" Jack finished and took a deep breath
Matty stood from her chair "Jack I don't think it's a good idea"
"Please Matty. I'm asking you as a friend. Trust me on this one"
It was Matty's time to sigh in defeat "Alright..if that's what you want. I'll arrange the necessary paperwork. Just be careful alright"
"Thank you" Jack gave a appreciative nod. He just hoped his decision wouldn't bounce back right to his face. What had he gotten himself into. A teenager in his house? This was going to be interesting "You better not make me regret Mac" he muttered
