Aurthor Note: Sorry for the late update.
Chapter 2
As soon as Mattie heard the gunshots from the other side of the line, she immediately went into action and marched towards the tech department. Reaching the tech department took her less than a minute to reach from the war room, She opened the door and walked in the three tech in the room quickly looked at her. At that moment she had no time for their stupid questions, instead she was more forcused one founding out if Mac and Riley were alright. "I need a location on MacGyver and Riley, and I need it right now!" The sound of urgency in Matty's voice send the whole tech team running to their computers, typing as fast as they could to find what their boss asked for.
"Matty I got a location, both MacGyver and Riley are at a restaurant called L'amour Pour Toujours I just sent the address to your phone Director Webber." The newest tech girl Maira told Matty in a quick and low tone, soon as the new girl said that Matty's phone dinged and as she looked down she saw the address. With that she shot out of the room and started to call her team to get them together, Matty knew that she needed everyone to get their two team members back. Since Matty didn't know what was waiting for them, nor did she know for sure how badly hurt Mac and Riley were.
Thinking that they might be heard made Matty take a mental note, that before they left they needed to have the med team on standby just in case. Without wanting to lose anymore time, she quickly walked down to the parking lot and got into her car and headed to the scene. Matty wanted to assess the situation before calling for help, she drove as fast as she could she was five blocks away when traffic came to a halt. She started to tap on the steering wheel as Matty as she waited for the traffic to move, as she sat there waiting she worried for her two agents.
Wondering what kind of condition they would be in when Matty got to where they were, the thing that she feared the most was finding out that they were killed in the attack. Matty did her best to shake off those feelings and instead kept telling herself that they were fine, that Mac knew how to protect himself and Riley. That they both would do all that they could to keep each other safe, Matty was still very worried about them and she loved them more than she showed when at work. The tough act was just an act, she didn't want to show that she cared and have someone use it against her.
To keep herself together, Matty kept telling herself that they would be alright telling herself that over and over helped her not lose hope that her son and daughter were alright. So after two minutes which seemed like hours the cars in front of her finally moved, once she was clear she put her foot down on the gas trying hard to make up for lost time. Not long after she got out of the traffic jam she finally arrived at the restaurant, only to see that it was crowded by police and two ambulances. Matty parked her car in no time and ran towards the restaurant, while scanning the crowd trying hard to find Mac and Riley.
When Matty finally did find Mac and Riley, they weren't standing in the crowd instead they were lying motionless on a gurney with their eyes closed. On their faces were oxygen masks and wires on their chest and an IV coming out of their hands, from where she stood she couldn't tell how badly hurt they were. Matty stood there in complete shock though she didn't let her face show it, so instead she quietly followed her two injured agents to the ambulances. She watched as they were loaded carefully in, Matty then saw the one EMT run to the driver side while the other jumped in.
The EMT in the back turned around so he could close the door, as he turned and faced Matty her gazed with pass the dark brown curly haired EMT and right to Mac."Are you family?" The young man asked in a questioning but calm tone of voice, but there was also a touch of urgency as well for an answer.
Which was the one thing that Matty understood even though she didn't know how bad they were injured, so she answered quickly then asked. "I am sort of like family to them, I'm their boss I was on the phone with the man when the gunshots took place. Will they be alright?" As Matty asked her question to the EMT, her eyes never left the motionless Mac because she was afraid if she did then something else bad might happen to him.
The EMT gave Matty a Sympathetic smile before turning around in time to see his partner, giving him an impatient glare from his rear view mirror. "All I can tell you is that they are in critical condition and we need to get them to hospital, if you want you can meet us at Good Samaritan Hospital to get more information." Matty nodded her head and as she was about to thank the EMT, she watched as he closed the door and started to work on Mac as the ambulances pulled away. She watched as it followed a bit behind the first one that carried Riley, once they were no longer in sight Matty gathered her thoughts as fast as she could.
Matty knew that she had no time to be in shock, that her attention needed to be on Mac and Riley and on the bastards that hurt her two agents. After taking a short moment to gather herself, Matty walked at a quick pace towards her car while at the same time pulling her phone out so she can call Desi. Matty had reached her car when after two rings, the voice of her newest member of the team quickly answered. "Hey Matty, what's wrong?"
Taking a deep breath, Matty climbed into her car before placing her cellphone on speaking phone before replaying in a low and deep serious tone. "Mac and Riley have been shot, I need you to go and pick up Bozer and Leanna and bring them to Samaritan Hospital but don't tell them what happened. I should be the one to break the news to them." After she had given Desi her orders, she took three more large deep breaths as she turned her car on and started to make her way to the hospital.
Matty had reached her first set of traffic light and was almost out the front, when the light turned red stopping the four cars that were in front of her. While Matty sat there waiting for the light to change, she started to tap on her steering wheel impatiently when she heard Desi asking. "I understand, but Matty shouldn't we inform Jack? After all they are like his kids, I know hes on a dangerous mission but he has the right to know that they were attacked. While Matty thought that she was right about telling Jack, there was a part of her that worried that it might distract him from his mission.
The last thing that Matty wanted was to distract Jack and end with him getting hurt himself or worse dead, she would never forgive herself for that. "I know Desi, but I need you to focus on getting Bozer and Leanna, and I will worry about the rest and I will meet you at the hospital when you get there." Matty kept her tone as calm as she could while talking to Desi, after she finished talking she hanged up and that when the light finally turned green. After that it was a smooth ride and it took her three minutes to finally arrive at hospital's parking lot, she stepped out and walked quickly into the building.
The first thing that Matty saw when she first entered the hospital was chairs, that were full of people waiting to be seen. At that moment Matty didn't care about them, she cared about finding out what was going on with Mac and Riley and making sure that they were alright. Matty moved swiftly through the crowd of people and towards the admitting desk, that had three nurses sitting behind it with computers set up in front of them. "Excuse me, I am looking for information on two shooting victims that were just brought here." She kept her spoke in not a very loud tone, but loud enough that the blond nurse could hear Matty but at the same time wouldn't bother the people around her.
The nurse stood up a bit and looked down to face Matty, as she got a better look at the nurse that when she realized she almost had the same color of hair as Mac. Though her hair was slightly lighter than his and was more fuller, Matty then saw the nurse name tag that read Rita Moores. "Are you family?" Rita asked in a inquizitive tone of voice, as she kept her eyes on Matty waiting to hear what answer the small lady might have.
"I am not, I am however their emergency contact and power of attorney, now if your done asking questions are you going to tell me where they are and if they are alright?" Matty sounded a bit annoyed as she answered the nurse's question, but she guess she had put some fear in the nurse because she shut her mouth and started to type. While she waited for some answers, she took another scan of the room worried that whoever attacked her agents might try and finish the job. No matter how long she took to scan the room, Matty didn't see anyone that pop out as an assassin to her.
In the back of her mind there was still a part of her that said there was danger new by, Matty was about to do another scan when the nurse spoke in a soft but scared tone. " and were taking right to the OR and are listed as critical condition, if you go to the OR waiting room the doctor will give you an update as soon as possible." Once the nurse was done talking, Matty nodded her head and made her way to the elevator so she could head up to the OR waiting room.
After what should have taken a minute that really felt like forever, the elevator dinged and opened its door. Matty stepped inside and pressed the button for the fifth floor, while hoping beyond hope that Mac and Riley would be alright. As the doors started close, Matty once again was plagued with the feeling that someone was feeling not knowing the eyes watching her was coming from one of the nurses.
