"Clear!"

Mac jerked upwards, his body lay motionless on the ground.. All eyes were fixed on the heart monitor, glaring at the device to show a green light that would indicate the boy was still alive

Bozer didn't breathe

Matty stood shell shocked

Riley prayed every second for Mac's life

Cage was heartbroken

The silence was slowly killing each agent. The medics shook their head, ready to announce Mac was no more with them when suddenly...it beeped

The machine beeped and showed a green signal with irregular heartbeats. Mac came back. He was still fighting "We got him!" yelled the one holding the charger

Riley and Cage jumped with happiness and Bozer just let the waterfall flow from his eyes. Matty smiled that reached her ears "We need to go now! He's still critical" the medic quickly strapped Mac on the strecher "I need your air ride for this. He needs to get to the hospital as soon as possible"

Matty nodded frantically "Go! Take our chopper. Bozer go with them..." she saw Bozer was already walking with the strecher. The lady smiled again and wiped her tears "Cage I need you and Riley to find that scumb who did this. I don't care where he's hidden in the world...just find him. He's going to pay for hurting our boys"

Riley and Cage nodded with determination and confidence. They all thanked the rescue workers for saving Jack and Mac's life and took a ride back to the city with them.

AT HOSPITAL

"How is he?" Matty asked the doctor as soon as he came out of Jack's room "Mr Dalton is doing fine. He had three broken ribs, little dehydrated and suffered minor cuts and bruises on his body. Our main concern was his leg. We had to operate on him inorder to place back to procuted bone. It will atleast take a month before Mr Dalton will be able to walk"

Matty nodded as she processed the she could was much better than attending a funeral of his two agents. She sighed in relief "What about MacGyver? How is he doing?"

The doctor pursed his lips and Matty knew this was not good "He's...lucky to be alive. MacGyver had suffered a huge amount of blood loss and had a concussion. There was a internal bleeding in his head but we were able to prevent it from causing any permanent damage. Next few hours are critical. Anything can happen"

"He is going to make it right?" Matty frowned at the doctor. Mac had to live. She was not ready for other option. The doctor pocketed his hands "Let's hope for the best"

For next six hours Bozer stood outside Mac's room praying to God. Riley and Cage were able to track down Rodericks. As soon as he was arrested the girls were back at the hospital. They sat and figeted on the cold bench with Bozer and Matty, waiting for any news on Mac. Jack was still out but the doctors said he was recovering quite well.

The door to Mac's room opened and everyone jumped on their feet. All crowded the doctor asking how was Mac doing now. The doctor held his hand up and smiled broadly "The worst is over. MacGyver is going to be fine"

Cheers and hugs were shared along with happy tears. No one bothered to hide it as they all were truly happy to get their friend back. Matty shook hands with the doctor "I need you to do something"

Even with close eyes Jack could see the explosion infront of his eyes. He could see how they went airborne. He could still feel the pain. He could see how his friend had suffered the most. All the dust smoke rocks cement slabs and blood...Mac's blood. The machine beeped loudly around him as his heartbeat sky rocketed when he remembered the last time he saw Mac. He forced his eyes open and sprang upright "Mac!"

"Hey hey calm down Jack" Bozer who was sitting in a chair rushed towards Jack's bed when he saw his friend was awake. Jack clutched Bozer's arm tightly "Where is Mac? Tell me how is he doing?"

Bozer held Jack by his shoulders "Jack you gotta calm down. Mac is fine...look!" he moved away from Jack's view and only then the older man saw a figure, feet away from his own bed. Jack cleared his blurry eyes and blinked twice, releasing the heavy breath he was holding "Mac..."

Jack's heart broke when he saw Mac was hooked with lots of wires and his mouth was covered with oxygen mask. His head was bandaged along with his side. The kid looked so small and vulnerable that Jack wanted to put a bullet in Rodericks head for hurting his friend "Is he alright?" he felt Bozer's hand to his shoulder "We had lost him once when he was brought out of the building"

Jack's eyes widened and he instantly checked the beeping machine which was showing regular heartbeats of the boy. Bozer continuted with heavy voice "He was very critical last few hours but now he's fine Jack. Mac's gonna make it. It was Matty's idea to shift both of you on same room. Guess she knew you would want to see Mac as soon as you woke up"

Jack gulped down the guilty lump in his throat. They had lost him. Mac was dead for few seconds. How could he let this happen. If only he listened to the kid, none of this would have happened. He did this to his friend. He was responsible for his sufferings

A doctor along with nurse rushed inside the room "What's going on here?" he adjusted the machine which was beeping loudly. Jack's eyes were fixed on Mac and the doctor understood the cause of the stress "Mr Dalton if you don't calm down then I'll have to move MacGyver from this room. This stress is not good for you and your friend"

"No! Please don't move Mac. I'm fine...see...all me...calm down. Please don't move him" Jack forced himself to rest and laid back on the bed, never taking his eyes off Mac. The nurse gave him next dose of meds and checked on Mac "How is he?" he asked the nurse

"He's doing well. Do call us when he wakes up" the nurse looked at Bozer who nodded in response and saw her leave the room "Are you okay Jack?"

"How can I be okay Boze? I..Mac is here because of me. I did this to him" Jack looked away to his side to hide his tearful eyes. Bozer knew this was going to happen. Jack was going to ride this guilty trip "You know...the way I see..you saved his life"

"Saved his life?" scoffed Jack "Some saving I've done" Bozer's eyes fell on his unconscious friend "Mac was suffering from concussion. If you hadn't been there...he would've slept never to wake up again"

Jack didn't reply Bozer's words. No matter how they twist it, the reality was never going to change "Can you leave me alone for a while?" he requested and Bozer nodded "I'll wait outside. Call me if you need anything"

When Bozer left Jack turned his head to look at the boy on the bed "I'm so sorry kid" he tried to get up but a sharp pain shot through his leg and he slumped back down "I'll just stay here for a while. You...you get well soon bud"

THREE HOURS LATER

"That kid is taking revenge on me!" Jack pointed his finger at Mac's bed. Mac's health was much better and they had also removed the oxygen mask. Matty and the two girls laughed "Give him some time Jack. He literally came out from the jaws of death" Bozer glared at the older man

"I'm telling you man...or else why wouldn't he wake up?" Jack glared at the still sleeping boy "I thought concussed people are not suppose to sleep for more than two hours"

"Mac's under high dose of painkillers Jack. He's body is too drained and exhausted" explained Matty and saw an angry pout on Jack's face "Why don't you rest.."

"I'll rest when I talk to Mac" Jack stubbornly crossedhis hand

"Talk...about what?" a soft and weak voice was heard and everyone turned. They saw Mac's eyes were partially open and he was raising his left hand "J..Jack?" The older man wanted to run towards his friend but he couldn't. His damn pain in the leg reminded him that he was bounded to the bed "I'm right here bud! You hear me?" Jack raised his voice

Matty Bozer and Cage crowded Mac's bed feeling releaved and happy to see him finally awake and Riley ran to call the doctor "Hey Mac...take it easy okay" said Cage. Mac's eyes were closed again but his lips moved slowly "Where am..I? Jack?"

"He's fine buddy" Bozer lightly squeezed Mac's hand "Can you open your eyes...Jack's right there" Mac again opened his eyes and turned to his side. A small smile appeared on his face when he saw his friend "You...good?" Jack let out a watery laugh "Now I'm good kid...now I'm good"

"Good" Mac closed his eyes again. The doctor came in and checked Mac "He's going to be alright. It's a good sign that he woke up" Everyone in the room was able to relax at doctor's words. Jack looked up and thanked God again and again for bringing the kid back safe

TWO HOURS LATER

"I'm sorry kid" started Jack and Mac held his hand out "Don't Jack...none of this is your fault" They were alone in the room now and Jack thought this was the right time to apologise for his mistake "This time bud...it is my fault. If I had listened to you and then we would've gotten out before the explosion"

"That true" said Mac with a grin but when he saw how serious Jack was, his features softened "Look man...I should be thanking you"

Jack scoffed "Thank me? For what? Putting you on the death's door?" Mac shook his head "No Jack. If you hadn't been there...I don't think I would've made it before the rescue team arrived. Boze told me what you said in your statement"

"Yeah some good job I did" said Jack sarcastically. Mac gingerly got up and sat on his bed "Lay back down kid!" yelled Jack

"See? This is what is important Jack. I know you would never hurt me on purpose...you have always looked out for me so please stop feeling guilty so we can enjoy our new life...together as a team"

Jack sighed but then nodded with a smile "Together as a team" he repeated

"We survived two bombs...that needed a hell lot of luck" said Mac and Jack's eyes fell outside the glass door "I would say luck and some good wishes and prayers of few people"

Mac's eyes followed his friend's and saw Bozer Cage Riley and Matty were happily chatting. Yes definitely... some prayers are answered pretty quickly.

"This calls for a celebration"

"Took the words right out of my mouth kid. I call for beers" Jack raised his hand

"Ofcourse you would" said Mac shaking his head and laughing with his friend. Things were back to normal.
