The Night Of The Escape

Agent James West was glad to be back on the train once again with his wife and child. While he was waiting for Artemus Gordon to show up for their meeting with Colonel Richmond at the fort.

Winoma tells him to calm down already from inside the living area of the train. He's only been back two weeks from California. While the two female agents were in Virginia working together on a mission for the president of the United States.

"I am calming down Winoma. I just can't believe Artie would be this late after coming from seeing his daughter and wife in town. Unless he's on the way over with something having to hold him up." He states to her with moving closer to console the man/husband/agent.

Before he knew it. She had landed a smooch on his lips to really surprise after all this time of being married to her. Knowing they wanted to fool around in the bedroom. They had a feeling Artemus Gordon just might be showing up any time soon.

There was a knock on the back door. Letting anyone inside there was someone waiting outside to come in. West moved over to the door to open it only to find his partner Artie carrying his back pack with his clothing and gifts from his wife Susan.

"What took you so long Artie? We have to be at the fort to meet up with Colonel Richmond." He says rather upset in his tone to his partner.

"Can I at least come in before I wind up with severe back pain with carrying this back pack? And besides Jim I was delayed with helping a friend of Susan's with the wagon having to be fixed with an axle breaking off after hitting a large boulder."

"Is everything ok now with the wagon? " James West walked over to help him with the back pack and placing down on the floor of the train. Afterwards giving Artemus a hug after not seeing his friend in two weeks.

"It's fine James. Winoma it's great to see you as well. How is little James Jr. doing?" He asked with giving a quick kiss onto her cheek.

Winoma says the following to her husband's friend and partner of the secret service. "Our son is staying with my sister in New York for a few days. He's going to be back into my arms again afterwards. I understand the both of you are to meet up with Colonel Richmond."

"That's right Winoma. As to what it's about I and James don't have an idea as to what's it about. " He comments to her and even his partner. "Unless James, It might be the fact that Dr. Loveless might of escape once again from prison. Since there hasn't been any official word from California, or else you would of gotten a telegraph dispatch."

"Now this is very interesting Artie. I wonder this is what Colonel Richmond has to say to us at the fort. Or we could be totally wrong and it's something different."
