The Night of the Missing Agent
A Wild, Wild, West, Story
You would think that Artemus Gordon would know his partner Jim West, after many years of working together for the Secret Service.
For the past few months Jim West has been acting strange for the most part, after several bouts with Loveless and other criminals, he was tired finally, he needed to take a few days off from everyone, including his best friend Artemus.
TWO WEEKS PRIOR...
Jim West having received a special telegram from president Grant of the United States, he was ordered to attend a special session with his advisors in Washington, D.C.
He was told not to say a word to Artemus Gordon having to be working on a separate case himself.
Only Jim West and his normal staff were on board, and all were told to keep quiet about him leaving for the White House.
When he did arrived. He was told to show his orders to the secret service at the entrance. He pulls out his orders from the front of his coat jacket. "I was ordered to come here in secret, I believe president Grant is waiting for me." He nodded to the agent following behind him to take the stairs up to the third level with everyone waiting for him.
Along with having to be in the dark as for why he was here in the first place.
It took some effort to get up the stairs, he was tired, his legs have been hurting him for quite some time now, along with not getting any younger, he needed to settle down finally, life was just getting to damn dangerous for his taste, he tried telling this to Artemus Gordon on occasions during the past few years.
When he finally walked in, he saw the most beautiful woman, he's seen in such a long time.
President Grant walked up to Jim West to shake his hand, along with introducing the woman Wimona Lansfield, secret service agent from California to work under cover with his truly.
"Jim, Lansfield has been assigned to work with you for a undercover operation dealing with illegal male order brides, why I say this is the fact that several women during the past year have been killed because of their wills, and in each case the husbands have cash in a fortune."
"Why us President Grant?" He asked with a serious tone in his voice.
"Because your going to be killing your wife for her money, and we need to find out, just who is going to be approaching you for the money." He replied, along with a raised eyebrow from his secret service agent Jim West.
"And just where this is supposed to be happening in the first place?" He said gently while watching the features of Wimona Lansfield.
"Baltimore, Maryland, it was the last murder that had taken place, and I suggest that the both of you, get to know each other before going to Baltimore."
"Yes sir, and what about my partner/friend Artemus?"
"Your not to say one word to him, when you meet him on the train, and your not to give anything away that your going to be on a operation, understand Jim?" In his deep gruff voice of his.
"I understand Mr. President." He replied before walking over to Winoma.

Outside the president's office.
Winoma was giving all of the details on the different killings during the past year, he was having a hard time trying to concentrate, but her perfume was mostly alluring to his senses.
"Jim, are you all right, we need to be totally sure about all this?" She says in such a sweet voice.
"Yes Winoma, I am very sure, I have been in this business a long time." He replied moving closer to her .
"I know 16 now your been working for the Secret Service and other agencies to do your job the proper way for the United States government." Before moving in to quickly kiss him softly on his lips to really surprised him.
She could see that he was not exactly ready for it, since she had read his long file on past relationships having ended in tragedy, and almost losing his parter Gordon last year to a massive heart attack.

Present day...Baltimore, Maryland
It's been almost two weeks now, since we had no contact. Jim West and his bride Winoma were beginning to think, it would be a total waist of time. Until a message was sent to thier hotel room by a courier.
Winoma was taking a bath at the time, he told her to stay in to see what was going on with the courier. When he opened the envelope, their was a message inside to have him meet at the local saloon at ten this evening to come alone.
When he turned around, he found her totally nude, and very beautiful. "James, are you going to be joining me before your supposed to meet at the saloon?" She was able to over look his shoulder. When she dragged him into the bathroom to slowly take off his clothing, she was really surprised in some way, on just how shy he was at times.
Along with the fact, she has been in love with the agent for a few years now, and no way was she going to spoil her luck in losing him.
When he joined her in the tub.
