Bozer grabbed his cell phone and called Jack. The phone rang for a while and then went to voicemail. Mac sat quietly on the couch wondering why Jack hadn't picked up yet.
Bozer hung up and walked to the couch. "no answer," He said. "try again and see if he picks up, I know he had his cell phone with him at the hospital," Mac said, beginning to get nervous. "ok, "Bozer replied. Calling him again he got the same thing.
"Ok I am going over there to see why he has not picked up" MacGyver, said. "Mac, you can barely get up without getting dizzy and if you don't remember you had a uber drop you off." Wouldn't it make more sense if we just called the hospital and had a nurse go check on him?"
Mac realizing that Bozer was right, and that he was in no condition to go anywhere at the moment anyway complied to the idea. Bozer called the hospital asking for them to send him to the fifth-floor nursing desk. He said "can you go and check on Jack Dalton in room 514, I called and he is not picking up his phone." The nurse said she would and told him that she would call back as soon as she checked.
Five minutes later his phone rang. The nurse said franticly," He is not in his room and there is blood on the floor! I called security and they are going to check the hospital to see if he is still here, as well as check the security cameras on this floor."
Bozer did not know how he was going to tell Mac about this. Mac was in no shape for this and Bozer dreaded telling him the bad news. "Mac" he said calmly. "what's wrong!" Mac asked as he knew Bozer would never act this way if everything was fine.
"mac listen," he started. "I talked to a nurse and she checked his room. The thing is he is not in his room, and there's some blood on the floor." "WHAT" mac yelled "we need to head over there Now."
"Hold on mac, you agreed yourself that you're in no shape to go anywhere right now." " That was before I knew Jack was missing from the hospital" mac angrily replied. "you need to chill for a second and think about what you're saying! You have a sling on your arm, and I can tell you're in pain, as well as your drunk and not thinking straight."
"what am I supposed to do just sit here and relax while Jack is who knows where and most likely more injured!" Bozer looked at him for a moment, choosing his words carefully as he spoke. "they are checking the cameras and you can't help him if you get sick, you look like you haven't eaten a decent meal in a while and you are as pale a ghost! Do you really think I am just going to let you go out and get sick or injured more than you already are?"
Mac again realized how right Bozer was. He was in no shape to go parading around looking for Jack, but could he live with himself if Jack died because he didn't go after him, looking for him?
Mac was sitting on the couch, he had not moved much since he had got home. Bozer was trying to make him stop obsessing over Jack, trying to reassure him by telling him that the police were already looking for Jack. Tis of course did no good, Mac was just simply inconsolable at the moment.
The night passed and mac finally fell asleep around midnight, from exhaustion or just from pain in his arm he didn't know.
Mac woke to the bright ray of sun through his window. He noticed Bozer asleep on the couch beside him ad decided it would be better not to wake him. Mac slipped into some clean clothes and slipped quietly out the door. He had to find and help Jack!
"Well crap!" Mac exclaimed, realizing that his car was still at the bar from the night before. He called an Uber from the street and several minutes later a car drove up. the Uber driver picked him up and dropped him off at the bar. Little did he know that that Uber driver was keeping tabs on him, and as soon as he got out of the car the driver called and let Jacks captor know.
Mac got in his car and drove to the hospital. His arm hurt more than before and he knew he should take some pain medicine but wanted to be alert, and with pain meds in his system would not be as alert.
As Mac got out of the car at the hospital he felt uneasy, as if someone were watching him. He shook off the feeling and walked inside the hospital. As Mac got on the elevator he pressed the fifth-floor button and the elevator started up.
As the elevator approached the fourth floor it stopped in the middle of the floors and ceased to move! MacGyver, being MacGyver immediately started thinking of a creative way out of his predicament. He commented to himself "this will not be east with only one hand to use.
MacGyver opened the hatch on the top of the elevator and climbed to the top of the elevator. he saw a way that he could get the elevator moving out of the wire. He got out his red swiss army knife and used it to cut some of the wire on the wall, and put it up against other wires on the elevator shaft. This created a spark that made the elevator move up to the floor he needed and he climbed carefully out of the top and down. At this point his shoulder was hurting awfully and he was exhausted.
MacGyver walked out onto the fifth floor telling the nurse at the desk what had happened. "I was not hurt" he said but, "no one else needs to take that elevator until its fixed." The nurse nodded and agreed and called for matinence as she put a sign on the elevator door.
MacGyver headed to the room Jack was in and felt the same way as he had before, like he was being watched. This made him walk a little faster than he normally would.
He checked out the room and found nothing and the security tape was no help because whoever took Jack had messed with the camera.
Mac headed out to his car again and as he glanced behind him saw a man he had seen before he thought, maybe on the stairs and in the lobby. He walked normally as not to let the guy know he was aware of him and got in his car.
The man followed his car from a distance and as he tried to lose him the man fired shots at his car! He heard a *BANG* and then everything went black.
