AN: Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood evening my sweeties! I want to apologize in advance if I make more mistakes than usual. My eyes are so irritated from my allergies they're very itchy, watery, and they ache. So my sight isn't the best but I don't want to leave y'all with out a chapter. But yeah. Anyways. Some people have been asking for longer chapters. My sweeties, the chapters are as long as I need them to be. If I find they don't need be any longer, they won't be. Any author FF or real (or both, like me) will tell you this. I understand you want more to the story and such, but like I said the chapters are only as long as I need them to be. It's the same with my books. So yeah. I'm not saying no to longer chapters but my story my rules. It's the way it is. Not just with me, all authors. It's not us being mean or anything but how it actually is. Pick up a book flip through the chapters. You'll notice some chapters are shorter than others. That reason is the same I made above. Again, not saying this to be mean or say no, what I'm saying my sweeties is to let me tell my story the way I have it planned. I know I said constructive criticism is welcome, but in the world of authoring when it comes to chapter length, you never want a chapter too long or too short. You want it flow naturally so we try to remain neutral so to speak. Okay? We good? Alright! Let's get going! When we left, Murdoc wants to play! Uh oh...this doesn't sound good.

froggydiva-As mentioned above sweetie, I make them as long as I need them :) Glad you like the story so far though.

Let The Games Begin

Slowly the hours ticked by and Murdoc returned with that same twisted grin he left with. Murdoc belonged in a padded room with a straight jacket. Make it three. Then throw away the key. The guy also had a glint in his eye. It was lust. No, not that kind of lust. Blood lust. Murdoc wanted one if not all of them to die, and the guy is pretty determined.

"So my pretty things, ready to play?" Murdoc asked.

"Joke's on you pal, none of us poisoned. None of us feel sick. Now let us out." Jack growled.

"Oh really? Angus isn't looking so good." Murdoc smirked.

Before anyone could answer they heard someone dropping to the floor. They turned and saw Mac pale and panting for breath.

"MAC!" Jack shouted as he knelt down next to the boy and cradled his upper body with MacGyver's head in the crook of his arm. Jack gently shook him and called to him. "Mac? Hey! MacGyver! Open those eyes and look at me!"

MacGyver over the course of the few hours started feeling sick. He thought nothing of it and thought Murdoc was bluffing. But as he got worse, he realized his missed the signs. Murdoc had poisoned his coffee. The man that served him was Murdoc! But Mac didn't say anything because he was stubborn, he couldn't say anything because he couldn't. He was getting too sick too fast. When Murdoc made his return he finally collapsed.

Mac then heard Jack calling to him and opened his heavy eyes. He tried to speak but it was hard, but being the stubborn person he is, he somehow managed.

"J J Jack...m missed the ssssigns..." Mac got out breathlessly.

"Signs? What signs?" Jack asked.

Mac wanted to answer but instead let the darkness take him under. He was just too weak to stay awake right now. The last thing he heard was Jack calling for him.

Jack watched as the boy in his arms passed out. He called to him but got no response. He picked Mac up and gently laid him on the couch. He looked Mac over and found his pulse was racing a little, he had a fever, and his breathing was bit labored.

"So know that you know who's poisoned, ready to play?" Murdoc asked.

"No choice. What are the rules?" Riley asked fuming on the inside.

"The rules are, no outside help. Which means you cannot call or text anyone outside the facility. In order to get the antidote you need to solve my clues to get the room where I've hidden it. Only two of you can go get the antidote. Only two of you, and I pick Mr. Bozer and Miss Davis. You can give medical attention to Mr. MacGyver, but not in the infirmary. Once Mr. Bozer and Miss Davis are out you will be locked back into the room. No using the internet to solve my clues or using outside help. You two must solve them on your own." Murdoc said. "You have twelve hours. If you get the antidote in time you win, and I'll come quietly. But I win, Mr. MacGyver dies and I go free. Deal?"

"Like Riley said, we don't have a choice. Deal." Thornton said glaring at the criminal.

"Now now. No need for the angry faces. You'll do fine! After all, Mr. MacGyver's life is your hands." Murdoc said with cruel smile. "The game begins now and I'll be watching your ever move."

Murdoc disappeared from the screen and the door opened. Since he was watching they couldn't risk Mac any further by trying to escape. So Riley and Bozer headed out after briefly hugging their family.

"Good luck you two. Be safe." Jack said firmly.

"We'll be back. Take care of our boy." Bozer said.

"We will. Get going." Thornton said. "The sooner you start the better."

The two nodded and headed out. The door behind them slammed shut and locked again. The saw an arrow pointing to their first destination and they bolted. The faster they solved the puzzles the faster they could save their Mac.

They hoped twelve hours was enough to save him.

Next chapter out! This was originally a little bit longer (not by much really) but my eyes are really bothering me and also the explanation above in AN says all as well.

Until Next Time! *puts an ice pack on my face* This feels awesome...zzzzzzzzz
