a small bonus scene set in chapter one.

I have two more bonus scenes, and I'll post one tomorrow and the last one on Sunday.


MacGyver stumbled through the halls of his captors' base, his bare feet slipping over the slick tile and the cuffs that bound his wrists behind his back biting painfully into his wrists, as he was pulled by two large men to- somewhere.

The blond was effectively rendered blind by the bag over his head, and he was distracted from his predicament by the pain radiating from almost every part of his body.

The agent had been captured by a terrorist group three days ago on his way home from a mission, and in that time had been interrogated relentlessly for information on his agency. Now, however, the interrogators were taking him somewhere other than his usual cell. They had grinned when he had asked where he was going, and the cruel smiles hadn't boded well for Mac.

Suddenly, the men made a sharp turn to the left. Mac stumbled over his own feet, thrown by the unexpected change in direction. His arms were released suddenly, and the young man fell to his knees, too weak to hold himself upright. Exhausted by even the short walk, Mac's head drooped for a moment, his chin hitting his chest, before one of his guards pulled the bag from his head and then yanked his head upright using his hair.

Mac blinked back the involuntary tears of pain and peered through the glass that was at the forefront of the room he found himself in. There were two men visible through the glass, one of them looking at Mac while the man that was standing looked over at the one who was sitting. Mac took in their faces and took in an involuntary breath.

The man staring at him through the glass was Conrad Dalton, Jack's uncle and the President of the United States.

Okay, Mac thought to himself, time to modify the plan.

He might currently be in for quite a bit of pain right now, but, really, it was nothing he hadn't done before. Besides, there were more important things to worry about than his pain, like Jack's uncle's safety.

Mac hunched his shoulders and braced himself.
