By the time it was seven in the morning, Mac and Bozer's house was officially a crime scene, again. Several agents went through the house, looking for clues while the team was meeting with Matty in the war room at Phoenix. Despite the fact that Mac was not an agent for Phoenix anymore, he had been and knew several of their government secrets. Therefore, it was imperative that he was found as soon as possible, preferably alive. Or at least, that's what Oversight said when he was informed of the situation.
Now that everyone on the team knew that Oversight was none other than James MacGyver, Mac's father who left him when he was a child, they couldn't help but wonder how he was going to react to news that his son was kidnapped. Jack was somewhat certain the man wouldn't do much, he hadn't seemed to react the other times Mac had been kidnapped or shot or nearly blown up after all. But James surprised them all when he showed up at the house in person. He took a look at the damage before ordering the team back to Phoenix and making sure every agent knew that finding Angus MacGyver was a top priority.
Before they even left the house, James went over to Jack and asked him to contact Riley and ask her if she would be willing to come and help them find his missing son since she had quit Phoenix a week ago and would not be apart of the search and rescue team any other way. Jack of course said he would, but not without asking why Oversight wanted Riley specifically. After all, he had several computer analysts working for the Phoenix Foundation. Oversight quickly replied that it was because he wanted the best, and that was Riley. And that was how Bozer, Leanna, Jack, and Riley ended up in the war room, waiting for Matty at seven in the morning. By the time it was 7:01, the door opened and Director Webber walked in.
"What have you got Riley?" Matty demanded as she came to stand in the front of the room.
"Absolutely nothing." Riley regretfully reported. When Matty gave her a questioning glare, the hacker immediately jumped to explain, "There's at least an eight hour window where whoever it was could've grabbed Mac and in Los Angeles, on a Saturday night, there are a lot of cars, which we also have no way of narrowing it down. I'm trying, but it's going to be nearly impossible to track Mac and his kidnapper down unless we can narrow it down."
"Is there any way we can?" Bozer jumped in, beyond worried about his childhood best friend, only seconds before Jack could ask the very same question.
"I've got people on your guys' security system, trying to see what the kidnapper did to it and when. If we can figure that out, we can see if they left any piece of evidence and when they messed with it. That should help us get a better timeline of when our boy was taken." Matty answered.
She had meant to be reassuring them, but from the expressions on the team members' faces, they all knew it was a long shot. The person or people who took Mac could've easily messed with the security system anytime, maybe even remotely. There was no guarantee that the information of when the kidnapper wrecked the security would help narrow down when exactly Mac was taken. As Matty tried to think of something comforting to tell the team, and herself because she was worried about the kid too, the door burst open and James MacGyver strode in.
"It was Jonah Walsh." James stated in a tone that left no room for argument. That didn't mean Jack didn't try though.
"How do you know?" The sniper questioned his boss. James looked over at him, looking a little annoyed that his employee seemed to be doubting him.
Despite that though, Oversight lifted a small, plastic evidence bag that held a white cloth inside and answered, "This."
"That's how he got Mac?" Bozer questioned, even though they all knew the answer.
"Yeah. There's enough ether on here to knock out a horse. Would've only taken a few seconds." Oversight replied, pretending not to notice terrified and worried look of Jack's face as he continued, "But we found Walsh's fingerprints on it."
"So either that was really sloppy or," Bozer started before Leanna cut him off.
"Or he didn't care if we knew who took Mac." Leanna finished her boyfriend's train of thought.
"No, he wanted us to know. Wanted me to know." James responded as he looked back down at the cloth in the bag in his hand, "This is personal. We destroyed the notes, destroyed his factory. He wants revenge."
"If he just wanted revenge, wouldn't he have just, killed Mac?" Bozer wondered, though he had to literally force the words out. The thought of his best friend being dead, was a thought he never wanted to have.
"No, that would be too easy. He's got something planned, that I know for a fact." Oversight replied, looking over at Bozer with a slightly reassuring expression, easily seeing how worried the new agent was over his son. He was worried too.
"Problem is, Walsh has been running for years, completely off the radar. How do we find him?" Riley wondered, looking up at their boos from her laptop.
"I've found him before, and I can do it again." James answered with a confident tone.
"Except it took you years to find him. Mac doesn't have that much time." Jack suddenly chimed in, voice full of anger that was clearly directed at his partner's father.
"Depends on his plan. Walsh did this to get back at me, he's not going to be able to resist taunting me, or wanting to make a deal, or lead me into a trap. The minute he does that, we'll find him." Oversight answered, doing his best to ignore Jack's anger. As the boss, he did not approve at all of Dalton's tone of voice, but he knew how close the sniper was to his son and let it slide.
"And if he doesn't?" Jack questioned, tone hard and relentless. Again, Oversight chose to ignore it, for now at least. If the sniper kept this up, then they would definitely have to have a talk, but hopefully, they could find his son before it came to that.
"He will." James insisted. Seeing the expressions on Jack's, Riley's, Bozer's, Matty's, and Leanna's faces though, he knew they still wanted to know what would happen if he couldn't find his former partner. Though he didn't want to, he gave them the answer they already knew, "If he doesn't, Mac will find a way to get out, or send a signal. He'll be okay until we can find him."

Jonah Walsh exited the room about an hour after he entered it. He closed the door tightly and locked it. Even though his captive was tied down rather securely, his hostage was a MacGyver, and they were clever, sneaky little b*****ds. He wouldn't out it past the boy to figure out a way to get free and escape.
Once Walsh was sure the door was locked securely, he started walking down the hall, planning on heading to the bathroom to wash the kid's blood off his hands. Like he expected, the kid wasn't going to budge easily, but he wasn't sure how strong the boy was. Stronger than most apparently.
Planning on heading to the bathroom to fully clean his hands, Walsh paused when his cell phone started vibrating in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out before clicking the 'accept' on the screen and continuing on his path.
"Well?" The voice on the other hand said before Walsh could get a word out.
"I got him quite easily. He wasn't hard to find at all." Walsh responded to the drug lord, Luis Gomez, who had ordered him to find the kid.
"Good. Has he agreed to help us in our endeavor?" His boss questioned, sounding slightly impressed that it didn't take long for him to find one of their targets.
"Not yet." Walsh replied. He could hear his boss sigh on the other end, but all the man said was, "Then do what it takes to get him to say yes."
"It will be my pleasure." Walsh told him, smiling even though his boss obviously couldn't see it. He then heard his boss hang up the phone and he proceeded to do the same.
After Walsh put the cell phone in his pocket, he looked at the watch on his wrist, then back at the hallway which led to the room where he was holding James's kid. It was nearly lunchtime and he was hungry. Part of him was hesitant to leave the kid alone for long, he was a MacGyver after all, but, he was practically unconscious when he left the room, and he wouldn't be gone long. Plus, he had the alarm on. If the kid did manage to get out of the ropes and through the locked door, he would trigger the alarm once he tried to leave the house. There was no way he would be getting free.
So, satisfied that his captive wasn't going anywhere soon, Walsh headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. Besides, the kid could probably use a break, use the time to regain his strength. He would need it for what Walsh had planned.
