You can run, but you can't hide
Rebel munitions warehouse, South America
You know...the usual
"Please, put that down. Trust me, you don't want to play with it." Mac says
"Yeah. Yeah. Just hand it over. Just hand it over, okay?" I asked and the monkey chirped, "Just hand it over." I said to the monkey as it held the detonator, "Hand it over, little monkey, okay?"
"Hey, little man." Jack says walking into the room holding a fruit, "Hey, man, look what I got. A ripe, delicious thingamabob. All his monkey buddies are eating these outside. They're going crazy for 'em. Hand that detonator over, and this baby's all yours. Hmm?" Jack asked and took a bite of it, "So good. Oh. Mmm Mmm. So juicy. Mmm." He took another bite then burped and gagged, "Oh, y'all eat these things? How are they not extinct?"
"How are you not extinct, Jack? What kind of Darwin Award nominee puts down a detonator in a room full of explosives?" I asked him
"The kind with only two hands who had to zip.." He started to say and burped again, "..oh Zip-tie a rebel leader in a hurry, Val. That's who. I just set the detonator down for a second, man. How was I supposed to know some cappuccino monkey was gonna go picking it up?"
"Capuchin." Mac corrected
"Ah, I think it's cappuccino."
"It's Capuchin." Mac says again
"Guys, it's a monkey." I told them
"You know what? Good news is safety's still on. So we're not in any real danger, unless he somehow figures out how to.." Mac says and the money turned off the safety,"...arm it."
"Uh-oh. Hey, I think we better give Curious George something else to be curious about before he pushes that button and ends us all right here." Jack says
"Yeah, yeah, like what, like what?" I asked him looking around
"I don't know."
"Hey, buddy." Mac says to the monkey and I see him hold up his pocket knife, "What's this? Yeah. Yeah. You like that, don't you? Want to trade?" He asked the monkey moving slowly towards him, "Yeah. Uh-huh. Just like..." The money screeched taking the pocket knife and dropping the detonator that Mac quickly picked up turning the safety back on, "We're safe."
"Safe? What is safe about giving a knife to a monkey? Do you have any idea what that could do?" Jack asked him
"I don't know, Jack. What?"
"You probably just started Planet of the Apes, man." Jack tell him and I rolled my eyes
"Hey, guys. I just I wanted to say thank you so much for all the flowers and the gifts. And, Bozer, you're right. The leftover Christmas pastrami is surprisingly good." Cage says over video and Bozer laughed, "So the, um, the doctors have approved my travel request. I'm gonna be flying home to Australia tomorrow to be with my sister, while I'm finishing PT. I'm gonna miss you guys. All of you. So take care of each other. Especially Jack. And if you can find Murdoc for me." She finished and Mac turned it off as I looked down then he grabbed my hand
"I told her that was the plan." Mac says and I looked at him, he put his arm around my waist then kissed my temple
"Amen to that." Bozer said
"How's it going over here?" Mac asked turning to face Bozer's lab table then we walked over to it
"Slow. I mean, I kind of thought you lost your mind when you said that 11 digit number etched into that gear was a clue that might help you find your dad. But then, his super weird Christmas present shows up, proving you right but leaving me with even more questions."
"Yeah, like, why do the numbers on this guy's arm match part of the number on the gear?" Mac asked picking up the file
"Yeah. And who is this guy? And what does he have to do with your dad?" Bozer asked
"Look, all I know for certain is he's not in any database." Mac tells him and walked over to the computer
"What does Matty think about the dossier?" Bozer asked him and Mac looked at me
"Uh, I don't know."
"You haven't shown her?" Bozer asked
"Nope."
"Why not? When it comes to analyzing confusing intelligence, no one is better than..."
"Because I think she's involved." Mac said cutting him off and Bozer looked at him then me then Mac again, "Yeah. I thought I'd found proof that she knew my dad, so I confronted her about it. She said she didn't. I think she's lying, but at the same time, there's no way to know."
"Man. This is a lot to process, Mac. Now I understand why you're not upset you lost your knife." Bozer told him
"Didn't lose it. Gave it away. Besides, it was just a knife."
"Uh, no. What we use to carve the Thanksgiving turkey is "just a knife"" This was the vintage pocketknife that your grandfather gave you." Bozer pointed out
"Fair enough. But since its final act was to save my life, and Val's I think Grandpa would be proud." Mac says and I smiled at him
"I'd be happy to order a replacement knife for you." Sparky told him, "Or you could just ask my replacement to order one."
"Dude, for the millionth time, you're not being replaced. That is a vehicular combat drone for DARPA's Korman Challenge." Bozer told him indicating to our drone, "The competition's been going on for years, and nothing from our lab has ever been replaced because of it."
"Well, I should hope not. Those weapons are utterly useless in a laboratory setting. And have you tried talking to it? It has absolutely no personality." Sparky says and I laughed wrapping my arms around Mac's shoulders from behind as he sat down
"That's because it doesn't need one. The goal of the challenge is to prototype a fully autonomous military vehicle, not a lab assistant. Your skill sets don't overlap in any way. Okay?" Riley asked Sparky
"This guy could someday do for ground troops what Predator drones have done for our Air Force." Bozer added
"If we could beat the CIA this year." Mac says
"And the NSA. And the DoD, JPL.." Riley mentioned
"And Homeland." I said and Mac held my hand then kissed it
"Which we absolutely will. Have some faith, guys. This is our year." Bozer tells us and I smiled as the lab door opened
"Hey, guys? I know you're busy getting ready for the competition, but Jack is acting weird." Jill told us walking in
"To be fair, it would be weird if he wasn't acting weird." Mac pointed out and I lightly smacked his chest
"Yeah, Jill. By now, you should know that's kind of his default setting." Riley adds
"Right. No, this is weird weird. Even for Jack." She says
"Okay." Mac said and we left.
"What's going on, Jack? Who's this guy?" Mac asked him as we walked into the round room
"Assassin? Terrorist?" Bozer asked as well
"No. Worse. Way worse. Meet James LeRoy. "Jimmy" to his friends, and his enemies."
"Uh sorry, did we just get a new mission?" I asked him
"No. He's not a mission, Val. That right there is my old high school nemesis."
"Seriously?" Bozer asked him
"Look who finally decided to listen to me and go to his high school reunion. Good on you." Mac tells him
"Apparently, the same guy that used Phoenix resources to dig up dirt on an innocent civilian." Riley pointed out
"Innocent"? Who said he's innocent? That guy right there spent four years ruining my life, always one-upping me. When we both went out for class president, he won. We both go out for starting quarterback, he won. And when we were both up for "best hair," guess what?"
"He won?" Bozer asked
"That's right. He won. And senior year, when he beat me out for homecoming king I was never the same after that."
"Well, you do know that homecoming kings hold no real power, right?" I asked him
"Just sayin', this punk really shook my confidence."
"Well, he may have, Jack, but this was years ago." Bozer told him
"Decades." I added
"Centuries, even." Mac says and we all chuckled
"Yeah Oh, very funny. No, no. Go ahead. Laugh it up at my expense. I'm telling you, this was a real turning point for me in my life. Who knows what I could've accomplished if it weren't for that guy, right there?"
"If you hate the guy so much, why are you even going to the reunion?" I asked him
"Well, I wasn't, but then you fools all signed up for this robo-apocalypse contest, and I don't want no part of that."
"Jack. The Korman Challenge is a friendly competition." Mac explained to him
"Yeah, I'm sure that's what Miles Bennett Dyson said when he activated Skynet and unleashed an army of Terminators. Does-does Matty even know you guys signed up for this contest?" Jack asked us and the screen chirped then Matty popped on
"Can someone please tell me why I'm waiting on you guys? I mean, we're all loaded up, ready to leave for Virginia, and we're just missing the team that's, you know, actually competing." Matty tells us and we walked out of the room except for Jack.
"Ten years ago, DARPA scientist Martin Korman had a dream: to create an autonomous medevac transport that could rescue wounded soldiers from the battlefield without risking additional troops. So he created the Korman Challenge. To bring the brightest minds together, with the hope that one day, someone would fulfill his dream. But one aspect of the competition has always remained the same. Our team has never won. But this is our year." Matty tells us and we all clap, "The year that the Phoenix takes home the blue ribbon, and all the black budget funding that comes along with it. So tighten every single screw, and double-check every line of code, because everything on this vehicle must be absolutely.." Matty says and sparks flew out of our drone, "Bozer?" She asked him
"No problem. We can totally fix that."
"No mistakes today, people. None. Now, go win that challenge." Matty told us and walked away as Mac and Bozer walked over to the drone while I sat with Riley and we see a girl walk in
"Pliers and a folding chair?" She asked them and I glanced back at her then looked at Riley who shrugged, "Wow. The Phoenix Foundation really works with some cutting edge tech. Good to see you again, MacGyver." She told him and I looked at them, "I came by to wish you luck."
"Allie Winthrop. How's life at the CIA's Special Research Division?" Mac asked her
"Oh, you know. Another year, another kick-ass prototype." She says and walked out with us following her seeing another drone drive over, "Meet Bruno, the Battle Ready Unmanned Networked Operative. See you at the finish line, MacGyver. May the best bot win." She told him and walked away then the drove drove away
"Yeah I'm not sure this is gonna be our year." Bozer pointed out
"So, when did you two hook up?" I asked Mac and he looked at me
"What?" He asked then I raised my eyebrow at him, "Yeah, fine. That happened."
"Hmm." I said with a smirk
"Korman Challenge bonus points. Why didn't you tell me, man?" Bozer asked him
"Because it wasn't like that. It was a few years ago. It was my first time here. I really liked her. And I thought she liked me. Right up until I saw her going through my drone's design specs on my laptop." He told us and I nodded then looked over at her
"She was snooping on your laptop?" Bozer asked
"Yeah, well I guess for some people, winning is the only thing that matters." Mac says then Bozer and Riley walked away, "Val.."
"Don't. I'm not jealous. I have ex's too," I told him and he walked over putting his hands on my hips, "Besides, past is the past." I said and he lightly kissed me
"That's right, I have an amazing girl who I can't see my life without."
"Who's that?" I asked with a smile and he smirked then kissed me again
"Val?" I heard someone ask and I turned around
"Kevin?" I asked and he laughed then hugged me spinning me around then set me down
"How are you? I haven't seen you since you left us." He told me and I smiled
"Oh I'm good, just working for Phoenix."
"What's Phoenix?" He asked and I looked over at Riley, Bozer and Mac who was looking over at me.
"The Phoenix Foundation, it's a think tank."
"A think tank? Wow that's awesome. What do you do there?" He asks
"Mmm a little of this, little of that." I tell him and glanced over at Mac who was trying to not be obvious as he looked at me, "But I gotta go, our drone is up."
"Oh yeah of course," He says and hugged me again, "Good to see you."
"You too." I told him and walked over to the others
"Who's that?" Mac asked me looking forward.
"You're not the only one with an ex here." I said and he shifted, "Are you jealous?" I asked him with a smirk
"No, no I just...Okay a little." He says and I kissed his cheek
"Past is in the past." I told him and he smiled then gave me a quick kiss.
"Next contestant to the starting line." The announcer said Riley drove it forward
"Organization?" The judge asked
"Phoenix Foundation." Mac told him
"And the name of your entry?" The judge asks and Bozer pulled off the paper to the sticker
"Dalton's Nightmare." Bozer laughed and I looked at the judge who had a 'not amused' look on his face, "It it's kind of a inside joke."
"Okay. It's a 20 mile course. Your vehicle earns points from speed, accuracy, and the ability to differentiate between targets. This is a live fire exercise, so I'm gonna have to ask you to..." He tells us indicating behind him
"Oh. All our weapons are state of the art, less lethal technology: Taser cannons, beanbag rounds, pepper spray grenades." Bozer explained
"I don't like guns." Mac added
"Super. I'm still gonna have to ask you to step behind the safety line." The judge told us, "All set?" He asked Riley
"All set." She says and we all walked behind the gate
"If your robot doesn't win, you're all fired. Best of luck." Matty told us
"Be advised, this is a live fire exercise. Weapons hot. Ready. Set..." The judge started to say then suddenly we hear and explosion and see Allie's drone shoot at the other ones and everyone panicked, then it shoots at ours and Mac turned me away then we looked over and saw Allie come out of her tent with her computer.
"Okay, this has to be a rules violation." Bozer says
"I don't think this is part of the contest." Mac pointed out then rushed over to her and we followed, "Allie. Allie!"
"It's not me. I'm locked out. Bruno won't respond to any of my commands."
"Has this ever happened before?" Riley asked her going to another computer and I see BRUNO drive over to us
"Never. I don't know what's going on."
"Mac!" Bozer yells moving out of the way and I grabbed Riley's jacket pulling her out of the way as it drove by us then I see Mac and Allie on the ground watching it drive away
"High-impact polymer armor, and a gas-electric hybrid engine with a 600 mile radius. I-It's like a Predator drone on wheels run by an on-board artificial intelligence that's just gone completely insane." Matty says
"Well, technically, A.I.s can't go insane. This is more like when an aerial drone goes rogue because its code has bugs. They call it a "flyaway." Okay, maybe now's not the best time to nitpick terminology." Riley said and I smiled as me, Mac and Allie tried to find the drone
"I ran Bruno through 10,000 simulations without a single glitch." Allie mentioned
"Bruno destroyed eight other drones and tried to turn us into human roadkill. That's a bit more than a glitch." I point out and she looked at me
"Guys, the only thing that matters now is stopping Bruno before he hurts anyone else.
"Well we can't stop him if we can't even find him. So how do we do that?" I asked
"Head for McLean." Allie says to Mac
"Virginia? You think he's headed to CIA Headquarters?"
"If Bruno ever malfunctions, he's programmed to go into safe mode. As long as the on board GPS still works, he should be driving back to my lab as we speak."
"Running home to mama. It's cute when a puppy does it. This? Not so much." Riley tells her
"Okay, Allie, I've got birds in the sky, Jeeps on the ground and satellite views from here to McLean. There's no sign of your lost dog." Matty says, "How do we get eyes on it?"
"I'm not sure we can. Bruno is radar, sonar, and thermal invisible. He's got visual camouflage, and he's programmed to use dense foliage for cover."
"And good luck following the right set of Humvee tracks on a military base." Mac adds
"Say, Allie. You didn't want to maybe put in a master kill switch just in case, you know, this happened?" I asked her
"Of course I put in a master kill switch. It was the first thing I tried when Bruno took off. But the code is corrupted. It's-it's not working."
"Wait a minute, Allie, you said that Bruno is a gas-electric hybrid?" Mac asked her and she nodded her head, "Then I think I know how to find him. Hey, Matty, would you tell all of our search vehicles to turn off their engines."
"Because we'll find Bruno faster if fewer people are looking for it?" She asked
"Yeah, well actually, we're not gonna be using our eyes. We're gonna be following our noses. Allie, can you take over the wheel?" Mac asked and unbuckled
"Oh, yeah." She says and I watched them switch
"Val, can you get me a screwdriver from back there?" Mac asked me
"Yeah." I said then grabbed one and handed it to him
"You're using the A/C system's carbon dioxide sensors to build an electronic nose so we can sniff out Bruno's exhaust." Allie pointed out
"It may not be the cutting edge tech you're used to, but it should still do the trick."
"Look, I know I'm not in the position to criticize anyone else's work right now, but are you sure this contraption of yours is gonna work?" Allie asked as me and Mac held our sensors out each window then mine beeped
"Oh. Left, Allie, left." Mac told her and she turned then his beeped, "Oh, right. Take a right." She turned then after a moment both mine and lit up, "Bruno should just be straight up ahead." Mac says and we see the drone drive by us
"Riley, we got eyes on Bruno. Follow our signal." I tell her as we follow it and Mac handed me his sensor which I put in the back
"I see your signal. More importantly, I see his signal. I'm gonna try to hack in and see if I can shut him down."
"Well, hack fast because Bruno just left the reservation. We're in civilian territory now." Mac pointed out and we passed the exit
"Guys, that was the exit for McLean." I told them
"What happened to "he's programmed to go home"?" Mac asked Allie
"I don't know. He is programmed to go home."
"Damn it, guys, I can't get any kind of access." Riley told us
"If you use my login credentials, it should give you admin privileges." Allie told her
"I tried. The admin's been changed. I can't hack in because someone else already has. Whoever they are, they still have control of Bruno."
"So if Bruno isn't going home, where the hell is he going?" Bozer asked
"You can't think of any way that someone could've gained access to Bruno, like a-like a breached firewall, or a phishing e-mail?" Mac asked her
"No. No. I'm insanely paranoid. And my security protocols are better than the NSA's."
"Well, somebody got in. We need to get them out. Riley, what if we just shut down all the cell towers? Cut them off from Bruno?" I asked her
"It's the first thing I tried. But 300 milliseconds after I killed the towers, Bruno switched over to a Chinese spy satellite. I'm trying to hack into that now, but it could take hours."
"We don't have hours. The Pentagon is only 30 minutes away." I point out
"And even if you kill the satellite, I programmed Bruno to adapt. He'll just switch to ad hoc cellular, unsecured Wi-Fi, infra-sound." Allie says
"Actually, I have an idea. Allie, pull over now." Mac told her and she did then he got out at a house running tot he yard and grabbed the satalite then ran back to the van, "Okay, go, go, go!" Mac says and we drove off
"Hey, Mac, didn't you hear what I said? If you jam the signal Bruno is using to receive commands, he'll just switch to another." Allie told him
"Yeah. We're not gonna jam his signal, we're gonna mess with his mind. Hey, I need Allie's help. Uh, so can you just switch with her?" Mac asked me and I looked at him
"Uh, you couldn't have mentioned the need to switch drivers before we pulled onto the road again?" I asked him
"Have you met me? I am just making this up as I go along." He tells me putting his hand on my back then I moved to the seat.
"You got it?" Allie asked me as I grabbed the wheel
"Yeah."
"Hey, would you, uh, clip and strip this coax cable for me?" I hear Mac ask her
"Yeah."
"We're gonna use it to run power to the dish." He explained
"I'm sorry."
"Look, this is not your fault. Even the best system can get hacked." He told her
"No, no. I'm not talking about Bruno. I mean, I-I am sorry about Bruno, and, you know, deeply ashamed. But I was talking about when we first met." She says and I lightly gripped the steering wheel while staying focused on the road
"Oh. Uh Don't worry about it. Because believe it or not, that's not the biggest lie you've ever told me."
"Wait. Wait. When did I lie to you?" She asked him
"Really? You know, the part where you said you liked me, but you really just wanted to sneak a peek at my plans?"
"Mac, I wasn't lying. I mean, sure, I'm competitive, like, super competitive, like, it's a problem how competitive I am. Which is why I couldn't help but take a peek at your design specs. But I wasn't lying when I said I liked you. 'Cause I did. I still do." She tells him and I gripped even harder
"Really? That's, uh I-I really don't know what to say about that right now. But umm...I'm actually seeing someone, Val actually." He brought up and I loosened my grip
"Right. Of course."
"Let's go stop your killer robot. Yeah?" He asked her and they came back up front
"So what's the game plan, Mac? You gonna kill him with pay-per-view?" I joked and he sits down
"You are not too far off. See, all computers work by moving electrons through really, really tiny little wires. So if I can create enough radio waves, a whole bunch of them, I can mess with those moving electrons."
"Corrupt Bruno's data, overload his computer and crash his network." Allie finished for him
"Exactly. And hopefully, without him crashing into anything else. But in order for this to work, we got to be within 160 feet. So you know what to do, Val."
"Go really fast." I said and sped up
"Almost in range get closer." Mac told me and I sped up a little more
"Okay, but I want to go on record that this feels like a terrible idea." I told him and he laughed
"Hey, Mac? Whoever's controlling Bruno just decided we're a threat." Allie tells us and I see the drone gun turn to us
"I hate being right sometimes." I point out
"Just keep your foot on the gas." Mac told me and I nodded, "Okay, we're in range. Allie, now!" He says and we hear pulsing and crackling then the drone slowed down and stopped then Allie got out
"Where's she going?" I asked
"I, uh, I wired this dish directly to the van's battery. But it's currently drawing more amps than we can output, so, uh once we run out of juice..."
"You're about to say "Bruno wakes up," aren't you?" I ask him
"Yeah. Keep this focused on him, all right?" He asked me and I took the dish from him and he got out
"Mac, go around the front and check the..." I hear Allie say to him then suddenly the dish stopped pulsing
"Oh that's not good." I point out and look at Mac
"Allie, get out of there before the door close.." He started to say then the doors closed as he turn around, "No! Allie! Damn it." Mac says and the drone backed up to him
"Mac!" I yell and he climbed on the hood of the van as it hit us then drove off then looked at me
Mac broke the window of a car then unlocked it, I stood there after opening the door and saw him searching his pockets then sighed, "Any chance you got a credit card on you?" He asked me and I reached into my pocket pulling it out and handing it to him then he broke it and cut the plastic off the wires as I got in
"It's gonna be okay, Mac. We're gonna get her back." I reassured him and he looked at me then grabbed my hand
"You're damn right we are. I lost Zoe, we almost lost Cage. We're not gonna lose anyone else." He said then started the car driving off after the drone
"Guys, we've got a big problem." Matty tells us
"You mean besides the hacked military combat drone headed for the Pentagon with Allie trapped inside?" I asked her
"Unfortunately, yes. The Air Force just scrambled three F-22s with orders to destroy Bruno on sight. You guys have, like, 20 minutes, tops, to get Allie out of there."
"Matty, you got to call that off." Mac told her
"Mac I tried. Homeland Security thinks this is the best option." She says and I sighed
"Damn it Kevin." I mumbled and Mac looked at me
"Well, then, we got to give them a better one."
"In the next 20 minutes? And if we can't?" I asked him
"We got to hope Jack's gonna be able to find whoever's controlling Bruno before it's too late."
"Matty, was that..." Mac asked her as we see smoke off in the distance as we tried to catch up
"No. You still have nine and a half minutes before the F-22 is in range."
"Okay, Mac, as Jack would say, time to be brilliant. So, what you got?" I asked him
"At this exact moment? Absolutely nothing."
"Guys, I have an idea. I can modify Korman's code to reinstall the kill switch and shut Bruno down for good, but I-I can't deliver the code remotely." Riley told us
"What does that mean?" I asked her
"Means you're gonna have to physically upload the code by plugging a USB drive directly into Bruno."
"That's insane." I point out
"Agreed. But right now, insane is all we've got. Mac, do you think you can do this?" Matty asked him
"What, climb on board an out-of-control military drone and find a way inside in under nine minutes? Guess we're gonna find out." He said and sped up
"All right, download complete. I got your kill switch, Riley what now?" I asked her
"Just plug that USB into Bruno, it should shut him down." She says and Mac grabbed it from me
"You want to switch drivers in a speeding car again, don't you?" I asked him
"Unless you want to jump onto the back of a hijacked military drone at 80 miles an hour."
"No I'm good." I said and set the laptop down then climbed over to him
"Foot on the gas." He told me and I squeezed the best I could past him and into the seat and he got in the passenger
"I could totally make a comment right now but I'll keep my mouth shut." I said and he chuckled, "Be careful." I told him and he kissed my cheek then climbed out the window and jumped onto the drone
Mac POV...
"Allie! Allie, can you hear me?" I asked her as I climbed to the top of the drove
"MacGyver? How did you get up there?"
"I'll explain later." I told her
"You're a lunatic, you know that?"
"Yeah, well, I'd like to remain a living lunatic, so in order to do that, I need to give you this flash drive." I said, "How do we do that?"
"Okay. There's an air vent on the back near the driver's side. I mean, if there was a driver." She pointed out
"Yep." I said and it wouldn't go through the slot so I laid on my back taking my belt off then grabbed my phone tying the belt around it, slid the phone through the vent and pulled bending the slit then put the flash-drive through, "Okay, there you go."
"Got it."
"Plug and play." I told her then held on then saw the jet fighters getting closer, "Is there, like, a status bar or anything?"
"No. No, I don't think it's gonna work!" She said then suddenly the drone powered down and stopped, "Matty, call off the air strike now! Bruno's offline. I repeat, call off the air strike now!"
"Air strike, abort. Repeat: Abort" She says and the jets fly by, "Cut it a little closer there next time, MacGyver. Some of us are actually still breathing."
I get down off the drone and opened the doors as Allie came out and she hugged me, "Hey, you okay?"
"You jumped out of a stolen vehicle onto a killer robot, and stared down an F-22 with orders to fire."
"Yeah, I also smashed my phone."
"Why would you do all that for me?" She asked
"Well, it's pretty simple. I don't like seeing people I care about die."
"You still care about...Even after everything I've done?" She asked
"Yes. Although, you could work on being a little bit less competitive."
"Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition." She says and lightly punched me
"The key words being "little" and "healthy." I told her and we walked away just as Val pulled up in the car and got out
"You both ok?" She asked and I hugged her
"I'm better now." I told her and she hugged me back
"Thank you for helping Val." Allie told her and Val laughed moving away from me
"Eh, he did most of the work, I just drove a really cool stolen car." She says and I chuckled
"Still though, you helped. Mac got lucky with you." Allie told her and I looked at Val
"Thanks." Val says and I put my arm around her.
Val POV...
"Korman's been remanded for psychiatric evaluation to see if he's fit to stand trial." Matty informed us back at Phoenix
"Nothing crazy about wanting the world to be a more peaceful place." I said playing with a paper clip
"You mean except for the part where he hijacked a military drone and tried to attack the Pentagon with it to make his point?" Jack asked
"Yeah, except for that part. Shut up." I tell him
"You shut up."
"Well, however it works out in the courts, at least we know Martin Korman won't be allowed near a computer for the rest of his life." Riley pointed out
"Is it weird that I'm kind of offended that he didn't hack our drone?" Bozer asked and I put my arm around his shoulder
"Super weird." I told him
"At least we'll always have this, right?" Riley asked picking up a piece of our drone, "It's all that's left of Dalton's Nightmare before Bruno blew it up."
"So the government spent a half a million bucks on a paperweight?" Bozer asked holding it
"Trust me, it's not the worst purchase they've ever made." Matty pointed out and I smiled, "Come on, pizza's on me if anyone's hungry."
"Sure."
"I'm in. Now you're talking." We said and walked out of the room except Mac and Jack
After a little bit they walked out and everyone cheered as balloons and glitter fell down and we walked over to them then Riley put a sash around Jack, "You won by a unanimous vote, Jack." Matty told him and Bozer handed him a tiny staff
"Man, y'all didn't have to do this." Jack told us
"Oh, so you don't want the crown?" I asked him as I held it up
"You kidding me? Of course I want it." He said and I handed it to him
"Come on! Put it on, Jack!" Someone yelled and he put it on then jokingly did a parade wave as we all clapped then Mac pulled me to him kissing my head.
"You know, I think I'm actually in the mood for something other then pizza." I whispered in his ear and he looked at me, I bit my lip and he looked at everyone else.
"Let's go." He says grabbing my hand and I giggled as we left.
We got back to his place bursting through the front door kissing and pulling at each others clothes making our way to his room and he shut the door then pushed me up against it lifting me up and started to kiss my neck.
He gripped my hip and brought me over to the bed then moved his mouth from mine and traveled them from my jaw down to my neck, I moaned as he bit down on my neck lightly, gripping my fingers in his hair. Then he kissed my neck again and running his hand up my side, under my shirt and gently squeezed my breast. I moaned and gripped onto his shoulders and he lifted me up and pulled my shirt off and I moved my hands down his chest running my nails along it and he growled in my ear, I made my way to his pants and started to work on the buttons and zipper as he worked on mine. We got each others pants off and he scooted us up more on the bed, I put my hands on the back of his neck and pulled his face closer to mine.
Mac moved down from my mouth and worked his way to my breasts kissing and nibbling on the skin above my bra, as I arched my back and let out a moan he took the opportunity to unhook my bra and toss it to the side, he trailed kisses down my chest to my stomach and made his way back up. When he got back to my lips I used my strength and flipped him so I was on top and I put his hands above his head.
"It's not nice to tease." I tell him and I kissed his jaw and did the same he did to me by trailing kisses down his chest and lightly bit at it too. I heard him groan as his hard member pressed against my stomach. I made my way back up and gave him one more kiss before getting up and straddling his lap, he put his hands on my hips and I lowered myself onto him and we both let out a moan and I started to move my hips slowly and I placed my hands on his chest for balance. I picked up the pace and Mac gripped my hips tighter and helped me move while moaning my name, I tilted my head back and continued to go faster pushing him deeper into me. Next thing I knew he sat up and shifted us slightly so we were face to face and he moved one hand into my hair and the other wrapped around my waist and he pulled me into a kiss and I moaned into his mouth.
"God Val" He moaned and I smiled at him then picked up the pace more and he groaned against my neck. We worked against each other then I felt close to my release, I moved my mouth to his ear and bit down on it lightly.
"Say my name." I told him and he pulled my head back putting our foreheads against each other.
"Val...my beautiful, sexy Val." He said and I kissed his lips before biting his bottom on lightly and he pulled me closer to him and we both reached our peak. He laid down and I got off him and laid down next to him putting my head on his chest while we both caught our breath, "I think you're gonna be the death of me." He says and I giggled then looked at him.
"I think you have that reversed, seeing you be all hero like kind of turns me on." I said and he kissed me again deepening it but I stopped him, "Slow down Mac, I don't think we have the energy for round 2." I tell him and he chuckled.
"Let's get some rest then. I plan on showing you how I love you once I have strength again." He said I smiled then kissed his chest and closed my eyes falling asleep.
Murdoc POV...
I walked up onto the deck of Macgyver's house whistling while looking around and I peeked in a window seeing him and my darling daughter asleep together in his bed and I chuckled.
"This is going to be very interesting."
