Luis Gomez sat on an old couch in one of the small rooms in the warehouse all alone, the old TV playing an 80's movie that the cartel leader was only somewhat watching as he finished another cup of the Scotch he had brought with him. It had been about three to four hours since he left Jonah Walsh with their prisoner, Angus MacGyver, and so far, he had not received any news that the boy had changed his mind about helping them. Gomez was starting to realize that there wasn't going to be any way to get Angus to work with them, unless they had some sort of leverage that is, which they didn't.

As Gomez refilled his cup with the Scotch on the table in front of him, he heard the door open. He glanced over his shoulder to see that it was Walsh, and he looked a bit discouraged. Gomez quickly finished filling his cup before he said, "Still nothing from him?"

"I told you, he's tougher than he looks. Seems he's a lot more like his daddy than even he knows." Walsh replied, coming up behind his boss. Leaning on the back of the couch, he saw a strange expression on Gomez's face, causing him to ask, "What?"

"You have until midnight to get him to agree. If he still doesn't, kill him." Gomez ordered, keeping his gaze on the screen.

"That's only another two hours." Walsh immediately protested. While he knew that if the kid hadn't broken yet, he wouldn't unless they tried another method, which Walsh was all to willing to do, but he needed time in order to attempt the other ways of forcing James's son to cooperate.

"And you've had nearly three days to convince him that helping us will be in his best interest. And not only have you still failed, you ended up having to run from your old partner. Disposing of the boy is our best way to get them off our back, if he still refuses to help." Gomez responded before glaring over at Walsh and adding, "I'm not wasting any more time on this than necessary."

Walsh could plainly see that the cartel leader wasn't going to back down, which did make the former DXS agent a little annoyed, as he really wanted to get the kid on his side because he knew how that could destroy James. And if he still didn't, then he could use the kid against his father which would be some nice payback, but killing the baby MacGyver would still be a nice form of revenge. So, a little reluctantly, Walsh agreed, "Alright."

As the former agent turned to leave the room to head back to where he was keeping their hostage, the sound of guns firing from outside filled the air. Walsh turned to Gomez when he heard his boss ask, "What's that?"

"We've been found." Walsh answered as a feeling of panic surged through his stomach. Without another second, he ran towards his hostage.

2016MACGYVER2016

"We're approaching the warehouse!" James yelled to the members of the TAC team in the SUV as well as Cage and Jack when he spotted the building that Riley had found to be the lab that Gomez and Walsh had set up and was most likely where they were holding Mac.

He saw the team and Cage nod, but when he looked over at Jack, who was behind the wheel of the vehicle, he saw a focused, determined expression, but he was clutching the wheel tight enough that his knuckles were white, causing Oversight to ask, "You ready for this?"

"Getting that kid back, I'm more than ready for that." Jack answered with a short tone, slightly annoyed that his boss actually felt the need to ask something like that.

"Good, cause here we go." James stated as the reached the abandoned building.

2016MACGYVER2016

Mac had no idea what exactly was going on outside. He had been drifting in and out of consciousness for a while now, or at least, he figured it was a while. He knew that that was not a good thing, and was either caused by a concussion, lack of sleep, or something else, like blood loss. The latest beating that Walsh had given him had caused several of his cuts to reopen.

The sound of gunfire however, pulled him back to awareness. He looked around to see that the guards that were in the room with him before were gone, as was Walsh. He hoped that the gunfire and lack of guards meant that Jack and the rest of the team had arrived and were here to rescue him. He turned his head towards the door when he heard it open, but instead of his rescuers coming for him, he saw Walsh entering the room and coming over to him.

"You try anything mini MacGyver, you're dead." Walsh said before he cut the ropes tying the blonde's hands behind the chair.

"You really think you're going to get away?" Mac wondered with small smile. If there really was a rescue team coming for him, then Jack would definitely be with them. And if Jack was here, then Walsh was definitely dead.

"I will with you as my hostage." Walsh replied with cold eyes as he grabbed Mac's arms and pulled him to his feet before wrapping an arm around the young man's chest so he could hold his hostage in front of him as a human shield. He then pulled Mac out of the room.

Unfortunately for his Dad's former partner however, they only got about five steps away from the door before Mac's Dad and three other agents that Mac recognized came to stand in their path. All of them, even Oversight, were holding guns which were pointed at them, causing Walsh to pull out his own handgun and put the end of the barrel against the side of his captive's head.

"Let him go Walsh." James ordered, staring straight into his former partner's eyes, not showing a twinge of fear whatsoever, and holding the gun firmly in his hand. Mac was surprised to see his Dad actually have a gun, since as far as he knew, the leader of the Phoenix Foundation didn't use weapons, nor was he ever out in the field. But Mac brushed that thought away as he looked for Jack, yet couldn't see him.

"How about you give me a few thousand dollars of untraceable bills, a car, and about a 12 hour head start? Then I'll drop your kid off somewhere and leave you a message of where he is." Walsh suggested with a slight smile as he tightened his hold on Mac, causing him to wince as it pushed against his sore and broken ribs and the cuts on his body.

"You really think I'm going trust you with my son? Forget it. Let him go." James repeated the order, his tone a lot harsher than before when he saw his son wince in pain.

"Sorry, can't do that." Walsh responded. James didn't say anything else, because from the corner of his eye, he spotted a certain sniper take position on the left side of the room, giving him a clear line of sight of the target and his hostage.

BANG!

Walsh's eyes almost immediately clouded over as the gunshot rang out, the bullet hitting him right in the head. His body went completely limp, freeing Mac, but as the blonde was still weak from the blood loss and his injuries, he fell to the floor along with Walsh's dead body.

"Mac!" Jack called out when he saw his brother fall to the floor.

Jack rushed over to where Mac laid sprawled flat on his stomach on the hard ground. The blonde hadn't moved at all since he fell when Walsh let go of him, and it frightened Jack to his very core, as did the sight of blood all over the kid's body. The sniper quickly reached the young man's side, and crouched down beside him before turning him over onto his back. Seeing that the blonde appeared to be unconscious, Jack was about to shake his shoulder to try and wake him, but another hand reached out and pushed his away from Mac.

"Careful. We don't know how badly injured he is yet. Moving him in any way might make it worse." Jack turned his head to see that MacGyver senior was beside him, and that it was his hand that had pushed Jack's hand away. The sniper knew that James was right, knew that if Mac had any broken bones, especially ribs, any wrong movement could dislodge them and cause more internal injuries, but that didn't stop Jack from shooting a death glare at MacGyver senior.

The man had been so distant and detached ever since they realized Mac had been taken and Jack was sick of it. He had somewhat understood and begrudgingly accepted it over the last few days though. After all, freaking out in fear and panic wasn't going to help them find their missing friend and family member. They needed to have cool heads and needed to think clearly, but MacGyver senior was taking it to a whole other level. Jack was starting to wonder if the older man even cared about his son, but as he turned his head to glare at his boss, Jack saw the fear and worry clear as day in the father's eyes as he examined his son.

"It's not that bad." Mac told them with a quiet and pain-filled voice as he slowly opened his swollen eyes. He had heard Jack yelling his name, and his Dad telling him to be careful, but the fall had stunned him enough that it took a few seconds for him to snap out of it. Though with the way his head was throbbing and how blurry his vision was, he had a feeling he wouldn't be awake for much longer.

"Well, considering your track record with injuries, I think I'm going to have the nice EMTs who are on their way take a look." Jack replied with a smile. After spending days worried about his partner, he was beyond thrilled to have the kid back and that he was awake, despite the injuries.

When Mac's eyes slipped closed and didn't open again however, the panic and fear immediately took over the sniper again. He put his hand on the kid's shoulder and shook him gently as called out, "Mac? Mac?"

James lowered his head closer to his son's for a few seconds, then put two fingers against the blonde's neck. After another few seconds, he turned his head to face Jack and said, "He's breathing, and his pulse is strong. He'll be alright."
