Chapter 3

As Matty stepped out of the elevator, it soon hit her the memory of when Sam Cage had been shot by Murdoc and they waited for news on her condition. It was a place that she never wanted to return or wanted to remember, since Sam getting shot felt like a failure on Matty's part for not protecting her agents better. Slowly she made her way to the waiting room, as Matty passed the nurses station she saw that the nurses were too busy working to notice her going by. Another thing that Matty noticed was that she didn't feel like someone was watching her anymore, though it still didn't give her a reason to let her guard down.

Without realizing it she arrived at the waiting room that she had not seen in two years, Matty hoped that she would have to return to that waiting room. Letting out a deep sigh Matty took a seat in a chair that was directly in front of the door, wanting to be the first thing the doctor saw when he or she entered the room. While she waited for any type of news on how Mac and Riley were doing, Matty wondered if she could have anything more to protect her agents better. The more Matty sat there deep in her thoughts, the more she realized that something wasn't adding up.

After their information was leaked by Mason, Matty had told everyone to change their daily routine so that way they might be a bit safer. As far as Matty knew Mac and Riley had done that, so what was bothering her the most was how their attackers knew where they both were going to be. No longer able to take that burning question, Matty pulled out her phone and started to call the Phoenix's tech department. While Matty was waiting for someone to pick up the phone, she looked up when she heard footsteps getting closer and discovered it was a nurse walking by.

The phone rang three times and as it started to ring for the fourth time, Matty was starting to wonder if everyone went home until a female voice pickup. "Tech department, Billy speaking." As the woman first spoke, it was very perky and happy which Matty was glad to see that her team was happy with the work she had given them. Matty soon learned when she took over Thornton's job that there were a lot of people that were scared to call her Matty and kept calling her Director Webber.

It took her almost a full month to get them to break that rounite of calling her director Webber, though from time to time they would slip back to their old ways. "Hello Billy, I need you and whoever else is still there to track Mac and Riley's car, and see if there was anyone following them for the last couple days. All their car information should be in our database, use facial recognition to identify anyone who looks like they were following them and call me right away if you find anything." After Matty was done giving out orders in her normal angry tone, her hand hovered over the end call button and was about to press it.

Matty then stopped herself as she was inches from hitting it, then realized that if she made sure Billy understood what her orders were she might feel better. She didn't have to wait long for a reply, because as soon as Matty finished speaking she could hear typing before Billy's voice replying by saying." "On it Director Web..I mean Matty, I will let you know if we find out anything and I will call people in if I have to so we can get this done for you." With that both Matty and Billy hung up the phone without saying anything else, Billy was one of the people that caught the director's eyes since she first took over.

That's why the first she did when she took over Thornton's job, was to offer Billy a job at the Phoenix Foundation. There wasn't one day that Matty regretted hiring her, Billy had exceeded all her expectations and even took over Jill's job after Murdoc murdered her. Taking three deep breaths as she placed her phone back into her purse, and in that moment Bozer, Leanna, and Desi entered the face. Both Bozer and Leanna looked confused on why they were there, while Matty saw Desi keep on a straight face doing her best not to let her face tell that something was wrong.

"Matty what's going on? Desi said we needed to get to the hospital but didn't tell us why." Bozer's voice sounded both confused and worried, as he asked Matty and it took everything she had not to say it out right. So instead Matty motioned at them to take a seat in the chairs in front of her, Bozer took Leanna's right hand and led her to the chairs. They took a seat in the chairs that were directly in front of Matty, Bozer took Leanna's left hand into his right as they waited for the reason for meeting up at the hospital once again.

Matty turned to look at Desi who took a step towards where Matty was, but refused to sit down so the boss nodded her head and turned back towards Bozer and Leanna. "Mac called me and then I heard gunshots, both Mac and Riley were hit and all I know is that they are in bad shape. From what I heard on the phone at the time, is that the person who did this wants revenge on Jack for what we do not know but I have our tech's looking into who." During the whole time that she was talking, she kept her voice as comforting as possible as she spots the looks of horror on Bozer and Leanna's faces.

"I don't understand, how would someone know where they would be? The only people that knew about their date are the people in this room, so wouldn't it have been impossible for someone to find them like that?" Bozer's voice sounded both concern sounding both concerned and angry, a feeling Matty understood very well. Bozer and Mac have known each other since childhood, so in truth Matty truly understood her young agent's reaction.

Matty though had no answer to give Bozer nor was there a way that she could explain how it happened, instead their leader was forced to wait for answers. "I don't have any answers for you guys, I have our tech looking into the matter but there is no guarantee that they will be able to find anything." In her heart Matty hated admitting that to her team, though she knew that it was better to tell them the truth especially after being lied to by Thornton for so long. That was why when she spoke to her agents, she made sure to keep her voice as comforting as possible even though in that moment Matty hoped beyond hope they would find something.

Matty sat there and was surprised when she felt a hand being placed on her right shoulder, as she turned her head she saw that the hand belonged to Deisi. "We know that you are doing all you can, Matty, but maybe don't you think it's time to get a hold of Jack and let him know about Mac and Riley?" Deisi knew she had asked Matty before, though her boss really didn't give her a clear answer if she was going to do it or not. The one thing that Deisi knew for sure was that if Mac and Riley died, Jack would never forgive them for not calling him.

"I know Deisi and if I could I would, but Jack's mission is very important and highly classified I don't even know where he is. However I do know someone that owns me a favor, and I might be able to convince him to somehow get a message to Dalton. Though you'll have to understand that it might be a long shot, but your right Jack needs to be here for Riley and for Mac. Matty wanted to wait until the doctor came out to tell them more information about their condition, she was sure he would have been worrying if he was allowed to return home.

Everyone nodded their heads glad to hear Matty would get word to him, though some of them were hoping that they might be reunited with their old Navy seal co worker. It had been almost a year since he had left, and there was a part of Bozer that missed the Bruce Wills quotes, or him complaining to Mac about having to get a new phone. It made Bozer wonder if they would ever be together like that, and laugh the way they used to after all of what had happened finally came to an end. Even as he sat there holding Leanna's hand he could hear Jack footsteps, though Bozer figured he was imagining it as him missing the big guy.

Then the footsteps stopped and Bozer was the first one to look up at the door, thinking that maybe it was the doctor with some updates. Instead the first thing that he saw was amy issued boot, as he looked up more that is when he saw a familiar face that brought Bozer to tears. "J..Jack" Bozer's voice broke as he spoke, but as soon as everyone heard what he had said they all were flying out of their chairs in shock.

"Hey Bozer." When Jack spoke his voice sounded very tired, when Matty looked at him even closer she could see black circles under his eyes as if he had barely slept. "I came as soon as my handler told me what happened, lucky we were already back in the states so it didn't take me long to get here." Everyone sat there looking even more confused as he spoke, as much they knew he was not even stateside he was somewhere in south America. What confused Bozer the most was how he found out about Mac and Riley, after the shooting had only happened not even an hour before Jack's return home.

No one moved or said a thing to Jack, after what seemed like hours when really it was two minutes Deisi finally stepped towards him and spoke in a low sad tone. "Jack,I'm...I'm sorry….you asked me to protect them and now…" Right after Deisi said that, Jack took a step towards her and she thought that he might get angry with her but instead she felt him place a hand on her shoulder. Which was something that she wasn't expecting, since she knew how much both Mac and Riley meant to him and how bad he wanted to keep them safe.

"Deisi, this is not your fault in any way. There is no way you could have known that someone would attack them in that restaurant, you have nothing to be sorry about." Jack made sure that when he spoke to her, he made sure that there was no anger in his voice because he meant every word. He knew that there was no way she could have known, so Jack knew that there was no way that he could blame her.

Even after Jack had said those words to her, all she could do was nod her head and look down shamefully while still feeling horrible about failing her duty. Before Jack or anyone else could say anything else, they heard some footsteps coming towards them. Which made everyone take past Jack to see a short dark brown haired male doctor, now standing in the doorway. Jack moved to where Bozer and Leanna were sitting, seeing his face made the whole group nervous.

The doctor scanned the room, then the doctor cleared his throat before speaking in a low tone of voice. "I am looking for the family of Angus MacGyver and Riley Davis." Everyone sat there, afraid to say anything scared that if they answered the Doctor that he would tell them that their two teammates/Brother/Sister were dead."
