AN: Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood evening my sweeties! Again, I apologize for the delays. My internet went out yesterday and it was out until this morning. I would've used my phone or my dad's Kindle. But his Kindle was dead and FF on my phone doesn't allow me to write on it. Which sucks. But, yeah. I'm so sorry sweeties! But hey, I got a ton of writing for my next book done at least! That's a plus :) I got about seven thousand words done. Yeah. I'm happy...my brain is mush though...*flat line* Anyways. So working on writing with Mattie and I having some difficultly but I think I got her down, but we'll see. Working on another story plot, got the idea but I have no clue where the plot is. I hate it when that happens. So I have no idea when the next story will be out, but I'm working on it. Anyone else besides me want to see MacGyver with longer hair and pulled back into a ponytail? I do. I think it would be cute :3 But then again, our precious little cinnamon roll is already cute. Yeah. Cinnamon roll. He's sweet and delicious...okay...I'm gonna stop while I'm a head. This chapter needs love and to be written before I turn over to Netflix and binge watch whatever I feel like. I don't know. Oh! Netflix has Balto! I can watch that! I love that movie. It's my favorite of all time. Didn't care for the second movie which is weird because I can relate to his wayward daughter (HA! I'm wayward as well), and the third movie was alright, but the first was my movie. Alright, I've rambled on enough! Let's get going! When we left off, Riley and Bozer are doing great, now let's check in on Mac!

BapBapBap28-Yup! I'm having that problem now XD But yeah. I know how you feel...blegh. I hate it when that happens in real life (I'm an Indie Author in real life).

mvanp-Thank you sweetie! Here's the next chapter :)

poohbear123-Thank you my silly old bear :) I love Winnie the Pooh by the way ;) My favorite's Eeyore.

Enjoy

Don't Worry Mac! Big Bro Jack's Got Your Back!

Jack wrung out a towel that Thornton got from infirmary along with other supplies to care Mac. Murdoc had watched her closely the whole time so she couldn't make moves to escape. She grabbed a pile of towels, a basin, as many water bottles as she could fit in the basin along with the towels, an oxygen tank with a face mask attached just in case, ice packs, and a first aid kit. She managed to bring all of it back. They were locked back in with the promise she could go out for more supplies in an hour. Jack wiped down Mac's face and neck, then placed the cold towel on the kid's burning forehead.

Jack sat back and looked at his partner, his little brother and swore the minute they were out the room he was going to find Murdoc and make the bastards dead. He wanted his head on silver platter.

A hand on his shoulder brought him out his thoughts.

"Did the fever reducer help any?" Thornton asked.

"Don't think. If it did it's not much." Jack said.

"A little's better than nothing." She said.

"It's not enough. I can't lose him Patty." Jack said.

"I know. Riley and Bozer will get the antidote. We need to have faith and work with what we have." Thornton said.

Jack only nodded having eyes only for Mac. He reached under the blanket and grasped the kids cold hand.

"Geez kiddo. Running hot and cold." Jack mumbled to himself.

He felt a small squeeze and smiled. MacGyver was still in there and fighting. Kid was stubborn to the core. Hell, there were times where Jack had to physically drag Mac to the doctors if he was sick or injured. One time he actually restrained the kid and carried him over his shoulder to a physical. The doctor had been amused, Mac not so much. Kid got him back a week later by messing with his Sharpies. A blue one exploded and stained his hands for months. Needless to say Mac was grounded and wasn't allowed to have any Sharpies for two months.

"Hey bud. You want open those eyes for me?" Jack asked softly in voice reserved just for Mac.

Mac heard Jack talking to someone then felt Jack taking his hand. He didn't admit it out loud, but Jack was like a big brother to him, sometimes a father. He knew Jack's touch anywhere. He gave Jacks hand a squeeze. There wasn't much strength behind it, but it was all he could do at the moment. He hated being sick. It not only robbed him of his strength but made it difficult for him to think. Like now. He couldn't think or focus. Being poisoned was worse. He heard Jack talking again and tried to open his eyes, he failed a few times but after the seventh time he managed to get his eyes opened half mast. He looked over at Jack and tried to speak but found he couldn't.

Jack shushed him and helped sip some water. He then got Mac to swallow some Tylenol, then replaced the cold towel on his forehead.

"J Jack..." Mac managed.

"Hey bud, I'm right here." Jack assured.

"C can't t think...too h hot..." Mac stammered and shivered.

"I know buddy, I know. Just rest. You'll be alright." Jack soothed.

"G got my b back." Mac slurred slipping back into the blissful darkness.

"Damn straight I do." Jack said.

Thornton watched the interaction between MacGyver and Jack, and was in awe of the trust the boy had for his older partner. She knew that they were like family to each other but seeing was different than hearing it. She's worried about Mac and has been silently praying to some deity that he would survive this, but seeing the two before her interact like brothers, something told her that Jack would see to it that he would make it.

'I really hope Riley and Bozer get the antidote before Jack does something drastic to save Mac.' Thornton thought to herself.

This was one of those times where the group wished that the ability to stop time existed.

Big bro, little bro moment! This isn't going to be the only one ;) There's more coming.

Until Next Time! *watches Balto ten times over*
