The Night Of The Two Legged Little Man
A month after finishing up the bootleg liquor case out west. James West and his wife Winoma were spending some quality time together after getting back. Winoma was extremely happy that her husband was able to arrest the people involved with the bootleg business. Along with killing and injuring a number of town folks along there travels.
They were coming out of the Washington, D.C. theatre watching a play. While his partner having to be away with his wife Susan visiting her friends at her home town. From what Artemus Gordon was able to tell his friend James West, his wife was going to be having there first child some time during the next few weeks.
So in the meantime.
James West and Winoma were enjoying themselves a great deal walking back to the hotel Oasis for the evening. However just prior to walking up the stairs on the second floor. West was called to the manager's desk in regard to a message from Colonel Richmond.
And when James West walked over to his wife inside the lobby's restaurant. Winoma was able to tell on her husband's face that he was some what upset with the message.
Sitting down at the corner table given to her by the waiter. He came over to her to show the message from Colonel Richmond. And after a few moments of going over the message, she just couldn't believed it that Dr. Loveless was at it again with causing trouble in the city of San Francisco.
It was basically unknown to Colonel Richmond on just how much merchandise was stolen from the San Francisco Museum of Nature History.
In the message for which Winoma was some what disappointed. Both James West and Artemus Gordon (If available) would need to be able to travel to California as soon as possible.
"James is he serious to have Artemus Gordon travel with you. When in fact he won't be able to leave with his wife so close to having her baby?" She says with taking a sip of water from the pitcher that was brought over by the waiter.
"First of all Colonel Richmond doesn't know anything that is going on in Artemus life the past months. Artie was just glad to be alive after almost dying from the poisoned water that was given to him by the crook Jarrod now in prison for the rest of his life." He replied with taking in a deep breath of air into his expanding lungs.
"Listen James...If Artemus isn't available. Then who will you be able to get in order to work with you on the mission to California?" She asked in all seriousness with her question looking straight into his blue eyes.
"For the moment Winoma...I basically don't have any idea. But I will know with-in the next 24 hours before I start to leave on the Wanderer." He says knowing full well that she probably was expecting to hear the answer that maybe he will decide to have his wife come along for the case. Even though his son can always be watched by Winoma's friends, nanny or just keep Winoma stay behind with there son, while he's able to go it alone."
