Hi and welcome to the first chapter of my new story. Do you remember Family in Agony? Yes? No? Well anyway this is a prequel to the story. It's set four years before the events of Family in Agony. Set during 1991. Sixth season. Just like the other story, this story is dark, bloody and violent.
Rated R for a reason: violence, gore, not for children, adult language, demons (non-human), mental illness, blood, demonic possession, globetrotter (that's right we're going to... check it out for yourself), claustrophobic, profanity. You've been warned. It's also in a slightly alternate reality.
Note:
There are two important characters involved. Two villains to be exact but I ain't going to spoil the fun so I won't tell who they are.
The genres are of course: action, adventure, drama, horror and suspense. Alright then, let us begin.

Chapter I
Returning home from Turkey
Report at the Phoenix Foundation
Receiving bad news
1991

MacGyver was on a plane, coming home from his last assignment in Turkey. The assignment was helping a woman and her father looking for the Eye of Osiris. Of course not everything worked out the way it should be after encountering two vengeful villains. The first one was Hakim, the man who he met about a year ago. He ordered his man to steal the Sun boat of the Egyptian museum. MacGyver chased that man but ended up in the hospital elapsed in coma. Anyway Hakim wasn’t alone in Turkey, he took a henchman with him who got killed by a second villain. Does the name Von Leer mean anything to you? No, it’s not Erich Von Leer because that man is dead, it’s his brother Nikolaus Von Leer. He said MacGyver was responsible for his brother’s death two years ago, which is partly true actually. Hakim and Von Leer closed a partnership to look for the Eye of Osiris, but when Hakim got stuck in a door near the tomb of Alexander the Great Von Leer shot him. When MacGyver, Beth Webb, Axford and Von Leer finds the grave of Osiris they end up trapped, then it’s up to Mac to get them out of there, but since the walls where ready to crush them there was no time and Mac had to think quick. By using the eye he found their way out, but Von Leer was too greedy and tried to take the eye not knowing that it would set off another trap, which would cause his death. MacGyver, Beth Webb and Axford got away just in time, safe and sound. They did discover the Eye of Osiris but remained in the tomb after Von Leer tried to steal it. With empty hands they went back to the dig site. Since there was nothing more to do and the assignment was accomplished Mac decided it was time to go home and in order of her father, he took Beth with him back to the States to continue her studies before going on another expedition. First she disagreed with her father but eventually she decided to tag along. MacGyver agreed to help her settle in and to take care of her as long as was needed.
Now as said MacGyver was on a plane on it’s way home, next to him sat Beth Webb, the girl he met in Turkey. They started to know each other very well and most of the flight they did nothing but talk. Besides talking the only other thing they could do was sleeping or reading or looking outside but there was not much to look at because they had a night flight. They would arrive back in the States in the morning.
‘So, Beth, how are you feeling now you’re going back to the States?’ Mac asked all of a sudden.
‘Fine, I guess,’ she replied.
‘That doesn’t sound convincing to me.’
‘Is it? I told my father, I didn’t like going back. I feel that I need fieldwork, but you know my father, don’t you?’
‘Yeah, but you know, he’s right. Finishing your studies before going on another expedition is good advice. Without a decent diploma, you’re not much good and I don’t mean that to discourage you. I agreed to your father to help you settle in at college and I’m sure the Phoenix Foundation would help you too. They’ve helped a lot of people.’
‘I know the reputation of Phoenix.’
‘A private organisation usually have a fresh look on things, those includes helping people settling in colleges.’
‘How do you think about fieldwork, MacGyver?’
‘Well, I like working in the field. It helps me to stay on the right path and to think about my life. Sometimes it gets dangerous, other times there’s no problem. There’s a lot of variety in this kind of job. From helping people all across the world, to finding lost artefacts in several countries. I haven’t had this kind of assignment since a very long time,’ Mac said and paused a while before continuing. ‘If, I’m not mistaken it’s been 1,5 years since I’ve been in Peru to find the treasure of Manco.’
‘The treasure of Manco?’ Beth asked fascinated.
‘Yeah. The treasure of Manco was hidden in the Garden of Gold which was hidden in a mountain with two cat-like creatures on top of it.’
‘And what was the treasure, then?’
‘Seeds.’
‘Seeds?’
‘Yeah, seeds. It can’t always be Indiana Jones style, right? Fortune and glory?’
‘Right, but the eye was something else then seed. We really had something there. Too bad Von Leer got his hands on it.’
‘By getting his hands on it, he signed his death. Now it remains in the tomb, where it should belong. The world isn’t ready for it yet and I think it’s better to stay that way.’
‘So what happens next after we land?’
‘I called Pete before we took off and told him to keep an eye on our flight. He’ll be waiting for us at the airport with his car.’
‘Where will he take us?’
‘Probably to the Foundation for a report of what happened in Turkey.’
‘Then what?’
‘I don’t know. Proceed with our lives, I guess. I’ll be waiting for a next assignment. It depends on what Pete has in mind.’
A stewardess came up front.
‘Ladies and gentlemen we’ll land in only a few minutes, so you might wanna fasten your seatbelts and put out any cigarettes.’
MacGyver looked outside. It was raining and the skies were grey.
‘I hate it coming home like this,’ MacGyver said.
‘After rain sunshine comes, you know?’
‘Yeah, I know.’
The plane’s nose went down a little for the landing and slowly the plane went for the ground. Smoothly and a little flashy the pilot succeeded in landing the plane. Once on the ground and on the right place, the plane stopped. Everybody cheered for the pilot except for MacGyver and Beth Webb.
‘Come on, let’s go,’ MacGyver said.
‘Wait, let these people go first,’ Beth replied.
Soon the whole hall path between the seats where full of people, taking their hand luggage and slowly moving towards the exit of the plane. MacGyver saw a hole in the line and didn’t hesitate to get out.
‘Alright, come on,’ he said.
‘Yeah, hold up,’ she answered while she took her things.
Finally they got off the plane and went to the conveyor belt for their other things. When their stuff passed by they took it and went for the exit of the airport. Near the entrance MacGyver recognized a figure with a baldhead and a beige coat reading a newspaper.
‘There he is,’ he said.
‘Who?’
‘Pete.’
MacGyver and Beth increased their speed of walking.
‘Hey, Pete!’ MacGyver yelled a little loud.
The man with the newspaper looked up and smiled it. It was Pete.
‘MacGyver!’
Pete came to him and shook his hand. They embraced.
‘Let me help you with that,’ Pete said and took one of MacGyver’s bags. ‘It’s great seeing you back, Mac.’
‘It’s great to be back too.’
‘So how’d it go?’
‘Pretty well, but I tell you everything when we’re at the Foundation.’
‘Sure. And who’s this lovely young lady?’
‘Peter Thornton this is Beth Webb. We were supposed to meet each other there.’
‘It’s a pleasure,’ Pete said.
‘Same here,’ Beth smiled back.
The three people left the airport and Pete led them to his car.
‘This is me,’ Pete said and opened the trunk of his car.
MacGyver placed everything in it, his bags and Beth’s bags.

After a twenty minute drive, Pete parked the car at his parking space in the garage of the Phoenix Foundation.
The three people inside the car got out. MacGyver helped Beth out of the car by opening the door for her.
‘Thanks,’ she said.
‘No problem.’
‘Alright, you two, follow me, now,’ Pete said and led them to the elevator.
Once inside the elevator, Pete pushed button eight for the 8th floor. The trip to the 8th floor lasted about two minutes. The doors opened and they were on right floor. By going through the hallways for like the millionth time they finally came at Pete’s office.
‘Come on in and take a seat,’ Pete said.
He took his seat behind the desk and MacGyver and Beth in front of him. Pete pushed on a button of his phone. ‘Helen, can you bring in three coffees, please?’
‘Yes, sir,’ she said through the phone.
‘So, tell me what happened,’ Pete said cutting to the chase.
‘Well…,’ MacGyver started but got interrupted by Helen who came in with coffee. ‘Thanks.’
‘Thank you,’ Beth said while Helen gave her the coffee.
‘Thanks, Helen,’ Pete said when Helen left. ‘Sorry about that, MacGyver, do continue.’
‘I met Beth in a bar in the Taurus Mountains as we were supposed to,’ MacGyver explained. ‘She got in a touch of trouble and if I didn’t intervene, it probably turned out bad for her.’
‘How?’ Pete asked.
‘During a dice game I won the second piece of a medallion that led us to Alexander’s tomb, where the eye of Osiris was hidden,’ Beth said.
‘But first the man she won from didn’t want to give to piece after he lost.’
(Flashback of the episode Eye of Osiris)
Beth threw six with the dice. Kurush laughed at her but he threw less then six. Four.
‘Well, fair is fair, right, big guy?’ she said when she was willing to take the medallion. Kurush angrily stabbed his knife on the table before Beth could get her hand on the medallion. Then MacGyver intervened.
‘Hold it right there. Fair is fair,’ he said. ‘Let’s keep it friendly, what do you say?’
‘Evet. As you say, friendly.’
‘Evet? Evet? Friendly.’
Then suddenly Kurush strikes MacGyver with a hard right in his face sending him to the other side of the bar, falling on a table where a couple of midgets where playing. They weren’t too happy of him falling on them. Beth took the medallion. Kurush tried to grab her and threw her against the table. He grabbed her again but she bit him and hit him in the face with a frying pan. During Beth’s struggle MacGyver was rubbing his painful jaw. One of the midgets was ready to attack with him a knife. MacGyver jumps up with a scarf when the midget tried to stab him. MacGyver got out of the way making the midget stab in the wooden wall. The midget forces MacGyver to the bar.
‘You feel lucky?’ the midget taunted him
‘What?’
The midget tried to stab him again but yet again he misses and hits the counter. MacGyver picks the midget up and hangs him in the candle holder at the ceiling of the bar. Then another man attacked – a henchman of an interesting villain - with a torch. He taunted MacGyver with it. MacGyver simply took a glass with alcohol that stood on the counter and threw it in the flame. The flame caused to burn the hat of the man. The man takes it off in a panic. MacGyver kneed him in the stomach and threw him against the wall.
‘You must be MacGyver of the Phoenix Foundation,’ Beth said.
‘That’s, right. Beth Webb? Professor Axford’s assistant?’
‘Let’s get out of here.’
‘I’d be happy to.’
‘That’s how we got all the three pieces together later in the camp,’ Beth said.
‘But Pete, there’s something you have to know,’ MacGyver said.
‘What is it, then?’
‘Hakim was there.’
‘Hakim?’
‘Yeah, I don’t know, how he got there. I met him in Alexander’s tomb along with Von Leer.’
‘Von Leer? But he’s dead.’
‘Not Erich Von Leer. He had a brother called Nikolaus Von Leer.’
‘And? Was he anything like his brother?’
‘Yeah, first he shot Hakim, then when the walls in the tomb tried to crush us, I used the eye to find the way out. But knowing Von Leer, he was too greedy and took the eye which caused to trigger another trap. Hakim and Von Leer are dead now and the eye is buried where it should.’
‘We got away just in time,’ Beth said.
‘That’s great,’ Pete said. ‘So where’s professor Axford?’
‘He’s still in Turkey, finishing the last things of the expedition.’
‘Swell. So in the end you did another excellent job, MacGyver?’
‘Well, we sure had our share of problems there, since the workers thought the eye cursed the expedition, but yeah we did it despite some bad luck.’
‘That’s excellent. I’ll make sure you receive your bonuses in time.’
‘Good Pete,’ MacGyver said. ‘I want you to give Beth a good learning school in archaeology. That’s what her father wanted to before she takes off on another expedition. She has to continue her studies.’
‘Alright, Mac. I’ll check out my relations in the colleges here and see what I can do.’
‘That’s good, Pete.’
‘So this is it, then?’ Beth asked.
‘What is?’ Pete asked.
‘This is it for me. I’m not needed anymore here?’
‘Well, actually, no,’ MacGyver said. ‘We did what we had to do. The most important thing for you, now, is to continue your studies and we’ll arrange that for you.’
‘Alright.’
‘So, Pete, uh… to change the subject…,’
‘Yeah?’
‘When was the last time you heard from Maria?’
‘Too long ago, I’m afraid,’ Pete answered carefully.
‘What? Pete, I told you to keep my informed about this.’
‘I know that MacGyver, but when you were out there in Turkey, she disappeared. We haven’t heard anything from her for a couple of weeks.’
‘Specify “a couple of weeks”. I’ve been away for two and a half weeks. When did she disappear?’
‘Uh… excuse me but who’s Maria?’ Beth asked.
‘Maria Romburg, a girl I met in East-Germany. We were… well… dating and talking about commitment, until she had to leave for Rio in Brazil. We stayed in touch for a while. Then I had to leave for Turkey. And apparently she has now vanished.’
‘MacGyver, I’m sorry,’ Pete said. ‘But when we found out about her appearance you already left for your assignment. She vanished after she finished her assignment.’
‘So is she still in Rio, Pete?’
‘We don’t know. We lost communication with our associates there.’
‘Did you do any searches yet? Did you put anyone on this yet?’
‘Yeah, well I send…,’ Pete was too afraid to tell it.
‘Speak up, Pete. Who’d you send?’ MacGyver asked suspicious.
‘Nikki Carpenter.’
‘What? You send Nikki to Rio? Out of all our agents you placed Nikki on this? That wasn’t very smart, Pete.’
‘I know, she disappeared too,’ Pete said. ‘MacGyver, something is really wrong there. Two agents vanished there and that just can’t be right.’
‘Then I have to go and check it out myself.’
‘MacGyver, I…’
‘Pete, you know me, so don’t try to stop me. I’m going.’
‘Alright, I won’t stop you then, but don’t you think you should go home and earn some rest. You travelled half the world, you’re probably tired.’
Pete was right and MacGyver knew that.
‘You’re right, Pete. I am rather tired.’
‘See?’
‘Alright, Pete, you convinced me.’
‘I’ll drop by tonight, to see how you’re doing and we’ll discuss the rescue mission, then.’
MacGyver nodded and smiled.
‘Is there something I can do to help?’ Beth asked.
‘No, this doesn’t concern you anymore,’ MacGyver said. ‘Come on, I’ll take you home. You need to rest too.’
‘Oh, Beth, from as soon we got something for you, we’ll give you a call,’ Pete said.
‘OK.’
‘Ready, Beth?’
‘Yeah.’
‘Pete, is my car still parked here?’
‘Yeah, I hope you don’t mind but I used it a couple of times too.’
‘You filled it up with gas?’
‘Yeah.’
‘Keys?’
Pete threw MacGyver the keys. MacGyver caught them up nicely.
‘See you tonight then, Pete.’
‘Bye, Mr. Thornton.’
‘Later kids.’
MacGyver and Beth went down to the garage.
‘So where’s your car?’ Beth asked.
‘Right, there,’ MacGyver answered pointing his finger to his black jeep.
‘That’s your car? Wow!!’
‘Yeah, ain’t that something?’
MacGyver opened the door for her and let her in the car, then he took his seat at the driver side. He started the car and they left the garage. Outside it was still raining heavily. The rain clattered on the roof and the windows of the jeep. MacGyver put on his windshield scrapers. Ten minutes it took to get Beth Webb at home. He parked the car in front of her door.
‘You want me to come inside and help you out?’
‘No, I can manage,’ she said.
MacGyver gave her, her things back.
‘Thanks.’
MacGyver nodded and Beth Webb got out of the car. She was ready to go into the house but at the last minute she turned around and knocked on the window with her fingernails. MacGyver leaned over to open the window at the passengers seat.
(Here we hear the finale music of Runners)
‘I just want to say, thank you, MacGyver, for everything.’
‘No problem, Beth. I just did my job.’
‘I’m sorry for that bad news you got from your girlfriend.’
‘That’s OK, Beth. I can handle it.’
‘You wanna keep me posted on it?’
‘This is personal, Beth. I don’t want you to get involved on this. You got to stay focused on your studies. But you’ll hear from me, ok, and if not, the Phoenix Foundation is still there to help you on whatsoever.’
‘Right.’
‘You might wanna get inside before you get soaked,’ MacGyver said.
Beth nodded.
‘MacGyver?’
‘Yeah?’
‘Thank you.’
‘You welcome.’
MacGyver and Beth shared one more smile and then they parted ways.
(The music changes and part of MacGyver's theme is heard here then it fades away)
The Marina came in sight. MacGyver was home. His houseboat was deserted for the past few weeks. Only Pete came there every now and then to do a check on it. The houseboat was bobbing up and down a little between all the other boats. MacGyver smiled when he saw his home coming closer. He parked the jeep on his personal parking space at the Marina. It was still raining outside and sometimes a bluish white flash was seen in heaven followed by a distant thunder. MacGyver opened his door and got out of the car with his things in his hand. He closed down the car and quickly ran to the houseboat. He opened the door and got inside. He threw his bags on the floor and stepped over it. On the table there was a lot of mail. Bills to be paid, junk mail, letters from friends. The answering machine was also on his table and he pressed the rewind button and then play. The first call came from Jack Dalton.
‘MacGyver, this is your good buddy, Jack.’
‘Oh, no.’
‘You probably think “oh no” but hey, there’s no catch on this phone call. Just checking on you. I haven’t heard anything from you in a while. But your probably too busy right now. If you ever have some free time again, call me back, then we can get together again and do some fun things. I have something that might interest you. Well… perhaps not really interest you because I have to ask a favour from you.’
‘No wonder.’
‘It’s just I bought some new stuff for my plane and it needs to be installed and I don’t have a clue of what I’m actually doing and I was wondering if you could take a look at it. See? No catch, and no get-quick-rich schemes. Call me, whenever you get back home.’
'No.'
The machine bleeped and then the second call came. This one was from Nikki Carpenter.
‘MacGyver, this is Nikki. I called to tell you that Pete send me to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.’
‘I know where Rio is.’
‘Your girlfriend disappeared there and Pete send me to find her. I ain’t to happy about this, getting your loved ones out of messes they got their selves into. Pete applied on me for this since you’re out of the country yourself. I don’t know if I can pull this off on my own, so please do come this way when you…’
MacGyver suddenly stopped the machine and rewind the tape. Did he hear that well?
‘…yourself. I don’t know if I can pull this off on my own, so please do come this way when you’re back from Turkey. Pete will give you all the information you need.’
“‘Please?” She said, “please”? I can’t believe this.’
The machine bleeped again and no more phone calls came through. MacGyver was fairly surprised of what Nikki said. MacGyver took off his jacket and took something to drink. ‘Nikki, really said “please”. Unbelievable.’
MacGyver was very pleased about it. He and Nikki went through a lot during their times. From rescuing a psychic in the Alps to the East-Germany border from the Russians to political terrorism. They weren’t the closest friends but they always depended on each other. Ah, what was it so great to be back home. MacGyver lays down on his couch and with the remote of the TV, he putted the TV on. TV started playing and he started zapping. At one channel he suddenly stopped.
‘Great!’ he said. ‘The rerun of Bonanza’s episode of yesterday.’
MacGyver placed the remote on the table and took a sip of his drink. Man, he was tired and not just from the long journey. But from everything. He oughta do something else. Finding a new job, perhaps. Working for the Foundation had its advantages but also disadvantages. The bad news he received about Maria was one of those disadvantages. Maybe it was his fault by telling her that she would miss the excitement too much. A job like theirs is exciting but also dangerous. If she just took on that job in teaching at the university nothing like this would’ve happened. Unless otherwise proven. It wouldn’t have been the first time that it would happen. MacGyver’s eye lids were getting heavy. He tried to force himself to stay awake. He placed his hand in front of his mouth to cover a yawn. He shook his head to stay awake but it wasn’t meant to be and slowly his eyes closed and he sunk in a deep sleep. (Here we hear the music of Faith, Hope and Charity where he falls asleep in the seat) His TV kept playing the episode of Bonanza until the end but MacGyver was way too deep in his sleep. His hand fell out of the couch while he slept. Hours passed away. (The music fades away here) When he woke up he slept for four and a half hours. He woke up laying besides his couch on the floor. He looked around his houseboat and regained his senses of where he was. He sat up again and watched at the television. It was still playing. He tried to grab the remote but suddenly he fell an extreme pain in his right arm. He lay on it for nearly the whole time he slept. His arm was a sleep. With his left arm he took the remote and shut the TV down. He wrapped his arms around his legs and let of some steam. He yawned again and rubbed his painful right arm. A little effort was needed to get up. He went to the window doors that led to his terrace. He looked outside and it was still raining. The lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. He sighed and his face became a grimace when his arm got some feeling back. Besides the sound of rain and thunder it was silent on the houseboat. Tired he went upstairs and took a shower, changed his clothes. Twenty minutes were needed for him to get refreshed. His old clothes were changed by a blue shirt with long sleeves and a pair of jeans with a black belt buckle. With his big black shoes on he came back downstairs while he buttoned his sleeves. Then the phone rang. MacGyver went to the phone and answered it.
‘Yeah?’ he answered instead of saying hello.
‘MacGyver, it’s Pete.’
‘Yeah, Pete. What is it?’
‘Nothing, just checking in on you.’
MacGyver rolled his eyes but he knew damn well that Pete’s intentions were good.
‘You didn’t think I was doing something stupid, like travelling to Rio or something?’
‘You know me, Mac. Always keeping a close eye on you.’
‘Yeah, I know.’
‘I also called to ask you if six o’ clock is fine for you for me to come over.’
‘Sure. What time is it now?’
‘4:30 pm.’
‘That’s fine. I’m going to the store now and get some things because my fridge is nearly empty and I’m hungry as hell.’
‘Wasn’t the plane food eatable?’
‘Not really.’
‘Alright, six o’ clock then?’
‘Yeah, see ya then, Pete.’
‘Later, MacGyver.’
They both hung up the phone.
MacGyver smiled. This was so typical Pete, but he didn’t mind. Pete’s the closest he got to family. Since his grandfather Harry Jackson died, he was all alone. They at least said goodbye to each other on the ship in the after life. But they will see each other again, some day. Now the only family MacGyver has are his friends, Jack Dalton, Peter Thornton and most of his co-workers at the Phoenix Foundation. Anyway MacGyver wasn’t that alone but he is the only one of what’s left of his family. But it doesn’t matter, he took care of himself and with all his adventures, he forgot once in a while that he was alone. Now Maria has disappeared he must get her back or he really is alone. MacGyver shook the thought of Maria out of his head. That matter will get sort out from as soon Pete comes. MacGyver took his dark brown bomber jacket and his car keys. After closing down the houseboat he went back to the parking lot. (Soft background music is heard now) He started his jeep and went to the store. There he parked his car near the store. He took a shopping cart and about half an hour later he came back outside with three brown paper bags. He placed the paper bags on the back seat and drove back home. With a little dragging he succeeded to bring the three paper bags inside the houseboat. He quickly placed everything in his fridge and freezer. A little tired again he let himself fall down in the couch again, taking the remote control and watched some TV again. Yet again he was on the edge of falling a sleep again when he suddenly heard a knock at the door. He jumped up and ran to the door. He saw Pete standing outside and opened the door. (The music fades away here)
‘Hey, Pete,’ he greeted the older man.
‘MacGyver.’
‘Come on in.’
‘I brought some pizza’s with me,’ Pete said coming in.
‘Great.’
Both men took a seat at the dining table with a few drinks, orange juice of course and had a great dinner. They both ate their pizza’s till the last crumb. Pete burped while MacGyver took another sip of his drink and burped even louder.
‘Aw, man, that was great solid food,’ MacGyver said and burped again.
‘Enjoy it while you can, that place is going out of business.’
‘That’s too bad, but you didn’t came over to discuss about pizza places, did you?’
‘No, I came over to discuss the Maria-matter.’
‘So let’s hear it.’
‘It’s just like I said before. Something is really wrong there, since Nikki and Maria disappeared there. I mean two agents disappeared on the same place, now that can’t be correct, now can it?’
‘No, certainly not. I guess it’s up to me to save them.’
‘Yeah.’
‘You know, in Brazil more strange things happen,’ MacGyver said remembering the soldier ant attacks. ‘When I was there last time with my friend, Dr. Charles Alden, a soldier ant army threatened big parts of the jungle there and the cocoa plantation of Lucien Trumbo.’
‘You told me, that before,’ Pete said remembering it, ‘but that’s six years ago, MacGyver. We’re in 1991, remember?’
‘Yeah. So all we know is that Nikki and Maria has disappeared there?’
Pete nodded.
‘No one has heard or seen them since. Nobody knows what happened.’
‘Do we have our facilities there?’
‘Take a look at this map,’ Pete said while taking it out of a bag and unfolding it. ‘Here, we’re building a new Phoenix Foundation compound to study endangered jungle species. There’s a camp nearby about half mile back down in the jungle near the city, that also belongs to the Phoenix Foundation, you can make those your headquarters. Some of our men are there too, of course and you can always depend on Willis. He’s there.’
MacGyver studied the map well.
‘Perhaps, Trumbo’s cocoa plantation is near there too. Unless it’s deeper in the jungle. All I know is that his plantation is not listed on maps. I can also drop by there, just in case. Do you have any idea who can be behind this?’
‘I can only think of one person who could’ve done this and you know who I mean.’
MacGyver nodded.
‘Murdoc.’
‘Yeah, Murdoc. The man doesn’t know when to quit.’
‘It’s not certain that it is Murdoc, specific. Maybe it could be somebody else.’
‘Well, maybe Murdoc wants to take revenge on you and Nikki for what happened at the Widowmaker. You were both there.’
‘Well, Nikki just happened to be there that time. And with Murdoc it’s always about revenge. Can you believe he still owes me one for rescuing his sister Ashton from H.I.T.?’
‘Murdoc owing you? That is indeed funny.’
‘Imagine Murdoc helping me rescuing Maria and Nikki,’ MacGyver joked. Both men laughed about the remark a little.
‘Not a chance,’ Pete laughed.
‘You know maybe we shouldn’t look in our own past. Maybe the disappearances has to do with what Maria was in during her days as a Stasi agent. She had almost the same line of work like ours when she was still functional in East Germany.’
‘Could be.’
‘I’m gonna search this out to the bottom of it,’ MacGyver said determined.
‘You can count on me, Mac,’ Pete said reassuring. ‘How are we getting there?’
‘I guess we’re gonna have to rely on Jack on this.’
‘Jack Dalton?’
‘I know what you think of Jack, Pete, but, hey, I haven’t seen him in a long time and he could sure help us.’
‘When?’
‘The day after tomorrow.’
‘Why then?’
‘Jack called me when I was on assignment in Turkey. Listen.’
MacGyver pushed the button of his answering machine with Jack’s message on it.
‘MacGyver, this is your good buddy, Jack. You probably think “oh no” but hey, there’s no catch on this phone call. Just checking on you. I haven’t heard anything from you in a while. But your probably to busy right now. If you ever have some free time again, call me back, then we can get together again and do some fun things. I have something that might interest you. Well… perhaps not really interest you because I have to ask a favour from you. It’s just I bought some new stuff for my plane and it needs to be installed and I don’t have a clue of what I’m actually doing and I was wondering if you could take a look at it. See? No catch, and no get-quick-rich schemes. Call me, whenever you get back home.’
‘I need to help him on first.’
‘Mac…,’

(The music reaches it's peak as we fade out here)
