Hi friends! I know it's been a looooong time since I posted a chapter. No excuses just suffering from writer's block. But I'm back now and hopr you guys like this chapter and are still reading this story.

Sorry for mistakes

Enjoy :-)))

"We're too late" Ryan pulled off the safety and glanced at Mac "This is going to get ugly"

Jack heard loud chaos outside the room. People were screaming and yelling for help followed by several gun shots sound "Is the hospital under attack?" he wanted to see what was going on but also didn't want to leave Mac with these strangers. Mac gripped the sheets below riding out another spam in his stomach. He took a shaky breath "Jack..something's wrong"

"I know bud. I'm trying to figure out but don't worry okay. I'm not going to leave you"

Mac wanted to say he wasn't talking about the chaos or the fact that they were surrounded by people with guns in hand who claimed to protect him, he wanted Jack to know about his stomach aches. Mac never got a chance as he heard the officer speak

Ryan pointed at his two officers "Stall them until I get him out" he saw them leave and turned to face Jack "Get him dressed. We've to leave now!"

Jack clenched his teeth "You listen..." his words were cuf off by Ryan's loud voice "Do you want your friend to live or not? You hear that?" he pointed outside where they could still hear firing sounds "They are here for him. If we don't leave now then get ready to bury him feet undet the ground. They are getting closer. We've to hurry"

Jack glared at Ryan for few seconds before he gave a reluctant nod. Right now he didn't have an option but to give Ryan benefit of doubt. What if he was right and Mac's life was actually in danger. He needed to get Mac out of here and then call Matty. He exchanged look with Mac who seem to be thinking the same thing and gave a nod "Help me...get dressed"

Jack picked Mac's bag and pulled out a black Tshirt and brown pants. Even getting the simple task of getting dressed was extremely painful for Mac. Each movement was jostling his inner muscles and he had to bit his inner cheeks for not crying out loud. Jack knew the boy was in pain when he heard small whimpers and grunts "Almost done kid" he wasn't even done with the pant button when Ryan yelled out again "Let's move now!"

Jack quickly buttoned Mac's pant and gently hauled him up from the bed. This time though Mac wasn't able to stop himself and he let out a scream "I can't...hurts too much...to move" he clutched his mid section

Jack looked around and saw a wheelchair in the corner of the room. He made Mac sit back down and rolled the chair infront of him "This will help you. C'mon kid" he again carefully lowered Mac into the wheelchair "We're ready" he said to Ryan who now raised his gun and opened the door "Stay with us. No matter what happens don't look back. Our black van is parked right outside. Get in and you'll be safe"

Jack nodded and pushed the wheelchair. He laid his hand in Mac's shoulder "You okay?" Mac's face was scrunched in pain but he still managed to give a nod "I'm ready"

The door was opened and with two officers infront. Jack was next to move with Mac and then Ryan covered them with another officer. The second they stepped out, bullets were fired at them with someone yelling words like 'he's getting away' 'get the boy' 'we need him alive'

"Go go go!" yelled Ryan as he fired at the masked men. Jack pushed harder, ducking his head down and warned his friend "Mac hold on!" Mac was hunched over with his right hand on his stomach and left one tightly holding the chair. Tears started to leak from his eyes when he felt excruciating pain in his stomach. Ryan did not stop firing even when two of his officers went down in the crossfire "Keep moving! I'm right behind you"

Finally Jack was able to make it out from the back door and they reached near the black van. Jack rushed to open the door and came back for Mac who's eyes were barely open. He gently grabbed Mac under his arms "C'mon buddy. We need to get in the van"

Mac's knees buckled and went limp when his foot touched the ground "Mac!" Jack yelled out in fear and shifted his hold so Mac was now in his arms. He then laid the unconscious boy in the back seat and slammed the door close. Jack placed Mac's head on his lap and heard someone get in the driver's seat. He saw Ryan and one of his men were able to make it back. The van roared to life and they screeched their way out of the place

Jack turned his attention back to his friend and took his hands in his, rubbing it inbetween his palms "Hey kid! Mac can you hear me?"

Ryan titled his head back and eyes widened with fear on seeing Mac unconscious "Is he alright? Did he get hit?"

"I don't know" Jack double checked for any kind of bullet wound but found nothing "I think he passed out from the pain"

"Oh Shit!" Ryan muttered and nudged the driver "Hurry up! We need to reach at the base as soon as possible"

Jack was about to ask what the hell was going on when he heard a small groan from below. Mac fluttered his eyelids "What..hap..ned?"

Jack squeezed his hand in comforting manner "You passed out buddy. How are you feeling now?" Mac got up with Jack's help "It still hurts but..I'll manage" he looked infront at Ryan "Do you mind... telling us where are we going?"

"To our base"

"Why?"

"I'm not allowed to disclose any information"

Jack had had enough. He slammed on the front seat "C'mon man. Just tell us who were those men and what do they want with Mac?"

Silence

Jack gritted his teeth "Okay fine. If you don't speak then we'll jump from this van" Mac looked at him with wide eyes but Jack made a face of I-got-it-under-control "So are you talking or not?"

Nothing

"Fine! Mac you go first" Jack went for the door handle but Ryan yelled out from front "No wait!"

Mac sighed in relief. He really wasn't looking forward to make a jump when he could barely sit upright at the moment. Jack grinned at him "Always works" he received a glare from his young friend

"Two days back" Ryan began "A guy name Rodney stole an confidential info from our base. We were right on his tail but then he hid in the hospital"

"Didn't you catch the man? I saw him being led away by you guys" said Jack

"Yes but Rodney had transferred the info in one microchip which we didn't have it with him"

"I don't get it. Where does Mac fit in this case" Jack shared a confused look with Mac who was also eagerly waiting for an answer

Ryan paused for few seconds "The chip is now in Mr MacGyver's stomach" he looked at Mac from front mirror and saw all the colour drained from his face

Silence hung in the air

Jack and Mac tried to take in words Ryan just told them. The picture became lot clearer to them. The severe pains after the surgery...Dr Marcus being murdered...the attack... everything was because Mac had a chip in his stomach. As if on cue, his stomach clenched with pain and Mac broke the silence "This does not make me feel any better" his fingers ghosted over his mid section

Jack narrowed his eyes in anger "What..How's this even possible?"

"Dr Marcus" said Ryan "Rodney didn't have the chip with him so but we found his cell. We heard all the call recordings made in last six hours and came to know about the operation done by Dr Marcus. We found him dead in his cabin"

"Who killed him?"

Ryan sighed "Maybe they wanted to erase all the evidence. Look right now we need to get Mr MacGyver at the base where our doctors are waiting. If we don't get that thing out in 48 hours..I'm afraid it will kill you"
