Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

"Mac? What are you doing here?"

All the colour drained from Mac's face and he swallowed hard. Jack gad caught him red handed. What was he suppose to do now. He saw the agent cross the distance between them and snatch away the file from his hand "Jack...please I can explain"

Jack's eyes widened on seeing the file "What were you doing with this file?" his eyes went back and forth and suddenly felt as if his brain had started functioning with full force. The agent looked at the boy with disbelief "You came here... for the file?

"Jack.."

"Jesus...it was all a lie? Everything?"

Mac shook his head, eyes glistening with tears "Jack.." The older man raised his finger "It's Agent Dalton to you" Mac looked brokenly, tears finally escaping from his eyes

"I can't believe this" Jack started pacing around the room, connecting all the dots from the start "Your head injury...memory loss..everything was freaking lie!"

Mac took a step forward "I can explain.." Jack shook his head "Enough MacGyver!" The boy's heart sank when Jack called him by his full name "It wasn't me..I mean it was but..."

Jack laughed bitterly, ignoring the boy "I treated you like my son. I tried to be there for you and you were lying to me. Hah! You must be thinking what a fool I am"

"No" Mac cried "I did this because my father asked me too. You've to believe me Jack...I didn't want to do this" he pleaded in heavy voice. Jack glared at the boy "Aren't you tired of lying? How many lies do you intend to keep in your pocket?"

"I'm not lying" Mac sniffed

Jack caught his arm and shook him "Tell me one thing MacGyver, if you're not lying what were you doing with my file?"

"I came...to steal it" Mac admitted

Jack's grip tightened and Mac winced "Is the reason you came into my house?"

Mac nodded tears dripping from his face "I'm sorry. My father...he.." Jack roughly let go "Ofcourse you've a father to guide you in your crimes. I'm so disgusted by you. I can't even look at you"

"Jack.." Mac tried again

"Agent Dalton" Jack reminded him coldly "No amount of excuses will justify what you did. You're a liar. Very well played MacGyver" he clapped his hands "I was an idiot who forgot, once a criminal always a criminal"

Mac's heart clenched in his chest. He stood on the spot with his head bowed down. How could he forget he was a criminal. His father was right. Jack would never believe him. The man was so mad at him that he didn't want to hear his side of the story. Everything was ruined.

Jack heaved short breaths in anger. He still couldn't believe Mac had lied to him. But the confession just confirmed his crime. Though it pained in his heart, he had to make a right decision "I'm calling the cops. You're getting arrested"

Mac looked up with wide eyes. He couldn't let this happen. If he got arrested then James will never get the file and he will surely kill Jack. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if anything happened to Jack "No! Don't call the cops. Please he'll kill you"

Jack glared "Are you threatening me boy?" Mac vigorously shook his head "Jack please..."

"I can't believe I ever thought you as my own. You are nothing but a liar MacGyver" he saw Mac was again taking a step towards him "Stay where you are. I'm not letting you go anywhere before I personally handle you to the cops"

Mac became desperate. He had to get out of here with the file or else James will kill Jack. He made a dash towards the agent and tried to snatch the file out of his hand. Jack being an FBI agent saw the boy coming and used his training to grab the boy's wrist and twisted it behind his back. Mac gasped, pain shooting through his entire arm. Jack gritted his teeth "You're one selfish brat I've ever seen in my life. I hope you rot in jail for the rest of your life" with that he pushed Mac with full force and quickly walked out if his room and locking it from outside

Mac stumbled few steps. He tried to balance himself but then his leg got tangled in the covers that were lying on the floor. Mac's body fell face down and his head connected hard with the edge of the bed. Hot pain flared right through his skull and he scrunched his face. His vision blurred as Mac tried to get up, hand going at the right side of his head where it felt warm and sticky. He fell back on the floor with eyes fixed on the door "Ja..Jack" he feebly called out before his eyes shut close and lost consciousness

Jack angrily wiped his tears as he came down in the hall. He mind replaying all the moments he had with Mac. Damm the boy was so professional in his work that he fooled him each and every step. But then... why did he feel the loneliness in those eyes that always carved for love. Mac seemed to be genuinely whenever they enjoyed time together. His eyes again burned with tears. Jack no longer could understand what was going on? His mind was confused and frustrated. Maybe he should talk to the boy alone before handling him to the law

Door bell rang and Jack was brought back to real world. He checked the time and wondered who might be this late at night. The agent pulled out his gun and slowly walked towards the door

"Jack? Open up! Jack?" few knocks were heard and Jack frowned "Riley? Is that you?"

"I've something very important to tell you. Please open the door" said Riley and Jack unlocked "What are you doing here so late? Is everything alright?"

"No Jack. Ah...where is the boy?"

Jack looked upstairs "Up. Why?"

"We've found something ..about MacGyver" Riley started and Jack sighed "Yeah...you're a little late on that"

"What do you mean?"

"I know MacGyver hasn't lost his memory. He playing us from the beginning" Jack said with heavy voice

"He said that?" asked Riley looking shocked

"Yes. It was all a lie...can you believe he still has the guts to say that he's innocent in all this" Jack sat down on the chair

"He might be telling the truth"

"What?"

"Jack..we interrogated Jason and Ron. They told us before calling you MacGyver dialled a new number and talked to his father but the line got disconnected... twice"

"So?"

"Jason said the person who answered the call told MacGyver it was a wrong number and disconnected it. That made me suspicious. First of all if the boy had lost his memory then how did he dial his father's number. And secondly why did his father disconnected the call when Mac's life was in danger"

Jack was listening intently "Continue

"We tried to trace the call but it couldn't find the location. Jason said MacGyver looked heart broken when the phone was disconnected"

"You still lost me Riley. What are you trying to say?"

"Remember you admitted the boy for fever in hospital and he dissapered for one whole day?"

Jack nodded

"Hospital authorities have found this footage. They had fitted hidden cameras in each room" Riley showed a pen drive

"What does it say?"

"Jack, it shows MacGyver was forcibly taken out of the hospital by a man"

Jack's eyes widened "What?" he got up from the chair "Are you sure?" Riley nodded "They too were shocked and decided to report to us. All I'm saying is there is more to the story. You've to confront him. If he doesn't say then we call the cops"

Jack eyed upstairs. His intutions weren't wrong. Something big and terrible was going on in Mac's life. What if the kid was actually telling the truth this time. He had to give him one chance "Riley stay here. I'll go talk to Mac"

Jack unlocked the door "Mac?" he frowned to see his room was still dark. The agent extended his hand and switched on the lights "Mac we need to talk...Mac!"

Jack's heart leaped out of his chest when he saw the boy lying unconscious on the floor with his one leg tangled with the cover. He quickly knelt down and cradled the boy's face in his both hands "Hey Mac.. open your eyes...kid!" he saw a small trail of blood and suddenly remembered how he had pushed the boy when he was trying to escape. A small gasp escaped from his mouth on realising his mistake and Jack cursed himself "What have I done"
