The Night Of The Angle Of Projectory
Chapter 21
Agent James West was able to get away from the hospital without anyone following him to the White House. He still didn't understand just what the hell was going on in the first place. Even though not knowing just where did his friend Artemus Gordon had gone to.
Looking briefly up into the night sky to see whether there was any type of objects flying around to scare the local residents. He continued to ride quickly on the dirt road with no one riding on it for the moment. He wasn't able to see all that well in the dark. In spite the fact that the light posts haven't been lit.
He was feeling weak still after being knocked out by a drug that was given to him thinking it was one of his nurses inside his room, before placing a copy of himself to have his partner think it was him.
Taking his time now with another ten minutes before reaching the White House. He was hoping and praying that the president would be able to understand his reasoning on what is going on.
15 minutes later ...
Arriving at the White House. He ties the horse for where the water container was filled. He entered through the kitchen area for where he was stopped by the Secret Service before going any where else.
"It's important that I speak with the president. Tell him Secret Service agent James West is here to talk with him." He said with anxiety in his demeanor.
The two agents left the kitchen to wake the president sleeping having gone to bed early for a change after the past few weeks of stress.
James West had gone to sit down at the table having to wait on them. And in the mean time there was Rye bread on the table that was taken out from the cupboard by the two to eat as a snack. He was able to take a couple of bites with the water pitcher and plastic cups left on the table that wasn't used.
Moments Later...
Both agents came back to tell him that the president will be waiting to speak with him in the library.
Putting down the bread, while letting them know he was able to take a piece of the Rye bread before leaving the kitchen to head for the library on the second floor. He will have to walk up the flight of stairs holding onto the railing.
Inside the library
The president was sitting in his chair smoking a cigar waiting for West to arrive when he heard a knock on the door. "Come!" he said to James West walking inside looking haggard and tired.
"What's going on agent West?" He asked with taking a puff of his cigar and placing it inside the ash tray to speak with James West.
"I was drugged from inside my hospital room and taken to a room inside an basement. And was replaced with some type of a body double, however I was able to get away to come here. I have no idea where my partner Artemus Gordon had gone to Mr. President?"
"I know where he has gone to James. He's with another one of my secret service agents named Greenly heading towards the northwest for where there is a large cave and the sight of those strange weather balloons." He announced.
"Then that is where I will be heading. But first I need a few hours of sleep and food, along with a change of clothes that is at Doc Martins house. Excuse me sir, I will go there now with the horse I had to steal outside the hospital."
"You're not going any where accept sleeping in one of the guest rooms James. I will have the butler take you to the third floor bedrooms. I will have him give you a set of clean clothes left in the closets by other guests, along with sleeping clothes. I will be sure to have him feed you as well to try and get your energy levels back up."
"Thanks Mr. President for helping me out with your gracious demeanor." West said before seeing the butler walk in to have his orders given to him.
