AN: Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood evening my sweeties! So sorry for the light delay. My eyes got so itchy they hurt and swelled a little. That and I was pretty sleep deprived. Heck, I needed sleep so much that I took a nap on my treadmill. Yeah. My treadmill. It was comfy but my nap wasn't refreshing. If anything I woke up more tired. But I got a good night's sleep and I'm ready to rock and roll! Also, Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I hope y'all have fun and be safe! Who were you rooting for? I don't care for football, but I did watch The Kitten Bowl. The kitties were so cute! I can't wait to adopt one with my sister :) I've never owned a cat but she has many cats growing up so she's goingt to teach me the do's and don'ts of owning a kitty. But yeah. By watching The Kitten Bowl, I think I have an idea on type of kitty we're looking for, but we're still going to go to the local shelter and see who's ready for a home. Trying to convince her to let me name the male Mac, but she wants to do Axel Rose from Guns and Roses. Which is actually fine by me. For a girl, we're not sure yet. Too many cute names to choose from. Anyways. Friday's episode was some cheese! Yeah. Some cheese. No spoilers here, I hate them anyways. But still. My goodness. Anywhoozles. Not sure how long this fic is going to be but I know some chapters are going to focus on Riley and Bozer and the others equally. With that being said, without further ado let's go! When we left off, the poison had activated and taken Mac down, and the game has begun! Uh oh!

Enjoy

So Far So Good

Riley and Bozer followed the arrows and ended up in one of the labs. On the table there was a note and two bottles. Riley picked up the note and read it aloud.

"In one bottle you cannot see me, taste me nor smell me. But my counter part next to me has a taste. What are we?"

"Poisons of course." Bozer said without fail.

"But what kind of poisons?" Riley said.

"Um...one has to be carbon monoxide. It has no color, smell, or taste." Bozer said.

"Right. But what's the counter part? They're both poisons but one has a taste, and it doesn't specify what kind of taste." Riley asked.

Bozer looked away thinking. Mac once gave him a lecture before on different poisons but he barley paid any attention. Now he kinda wished he did. He wished Mac was here. The boy would've solved this and be on the way to the next puzzle. But he wasn't here. He was in the War Room fighting for his life all because of some psycho path that wants his head. All of their heads really. He needed to think and fast. They had hours but they could fly by like nothing.

Suddenly it hit him. There was only one poison he knew that a taste.

"Potassium Cyanide! That has to be the other!" Bozer exclaimed.

"Excellent work. Underneath one of the bottles is a key to the left cabinet. Open it up and you'll find out where you have to go next." Murdoc said over the intercom.

They looked at the bottles closely and noticed they were fogged over. They picked up the bottles and seemed weightless. They heard Murdoc say that the key was UNDERNEATH the bottle, but he could've been lying. The ran their fingers under the bottles and felt nothing. They then shook the bottles and heard one of them rattling. But now lies the next problem. How do they get the key out without poisoning themselves?

"Alright. How do we do this?" Riley asked. "We can't just open the bottles. We don't know which is which."

Bozer then held his bottle up to his ear and heard nothing. No rattling but he also didn't hear powder moving about. Riley did the same and heard the key rolling around but nothing else. She walked over to the containment unit and placed the bottle inside. She opened it with the gloves and shook the key out. She then carefully extracted the key out of the unit and noticed the key didn't smell like anything and lacked powder. They had been tricked.

"Damn. He meant to throw us off so we'd waste time." Riley sighed with relief.

"Alright, let's open the cabinet and get going." Bozer said.

Riley nodded. She opened the cabinet and grabbed a piece of paper with a soda can attached. All the note said was 'FOOD'. The mess hall was up next! They bolted towards their next destination. They reached the deserted mess hall and looked around for their next test. They found on the stove a simmering pot of food. They opened the pot and saw it was chicken soup. They took the piece of paper taped to the pot.

This Bozer read the note.

"Do you Starve a Cold and Feed a Fever or Starve a Fever and Feed a Cold?"

"My mom use to tell me it's Starve a Fever and Feed a Cold." Riley said.

"My mom use to tell me the opposite." Bozer said.

"Shit!" Riley exclaimed. "Now what?"

"I don't know. I wish Mac was with us. He would know." Bozer said.

"Wait. It's neither!" Riley said.

"What do you mean?" Bozer asked.

"It's like the Mandala Effect. You ask if someone remembers something one way but they remember it another. If we were to ask anyone which it is, they would giv us different answers." Riley explained.

"Great job Miss Davis. Now your next clue lays in the soup. Enjoy." Murdoc said.

"He said enjoy. Does he want us to eat that?" Bozer asked.

"I don't know." Riley said.

They sat back to ponder this one. But they take too much time. MacGyver needed them. Riley then looked around for bowls and silverware and found nothing. So they probably didn't have to eat it. They wouldn't risk it anyways. It could be poisoned. Riley did find a strainer and had Bozer helped her pour out the liquid and they found their next clue at the bottom of the pot.

It was a set of keys. There was a garage in the Foundation. Well two of them. The parking garage and the forensics garage. They examined the key and noticed it was bent and damaged.

"The forensics garage!" The both said and took off.

While they headed to the garage, they wondered how Mac was doing and if he was still hanging on.

Oh boy. The game has begun and so far so good. Let's see if it stays that way.

Until Next Time! *crawls under my warm blanket and refuses to come out until winter is over*
