Chapter Two The Night Of The Misdirection

Artemus Gordon sat in the front of James West. They were imprisoned by Loveless. Jim needed to be seen by the doctor, his injury surely a concussion again to make manners worst once again.

He could see Jim was having a hard time trying to focus, his unwillingness to understand. But Gordon knew West well enough to realize to spare him again with his injury.

But they needed to find a way out. What they need was some one that works with Loveless to get them out.

Though Gordon still found much of his experience a blur, he had found it entirely easy to picture West's suffering.

But for Susan, she was able to find her way back to the Wanderer with using the wagon that doc let her borrow.

When she walked inside the Wanderer, she spoke with Wimona telling her what was going on with the reporter.

"I don't know Winoma, this maniac really had me on my last nerve telling me a bunch of lies, when in fact, I went to see the sheriff, he had told me this Andrea was a fraud, when in fact he actually works for this Dr. Loveless, Artemus told me about weeks ago."

"Shit." Was all Winoma could say for the moment, we need to find this madman before Jim and Artemus are actually killed." She sighed before telling Susan to wait here for a few moments.

"What are you doing?" She slipped out of the compartment to speak with the rest of the staff, asking any one of them to help to come towards the back to discuss tactics.

Susan looked out the back door looking at the night sky, since it was evening.

She realized she had been more then a little relieved hopefully they will be able to find them.

To their luck for Gordon and West, one of Loveless men a man name Tully a man in his early fifties came in with their food and water as promised.

It would be there chance if done correctly, Gordon would asked Tully to let loose of their shackles, since it would make it really hard to do so.

Tully came over to him with a key to open up the shackles, when he told Jim with his eye contact. West was ready to move.

Gordon grabbed Tully by his neck with his arms squeezing the life out of him. He moved mechanically and quietly, while Tully dropped to the floor out cold.

"Lets get out of here now." Gordon replied taking the small pistol off Tully checking it for any ammo. He was set. West and Gordon moved without making a sound, getting out with no one in sight.

West was able to be helped by his partner, with Gordon being directly in front of him.

West was feeling some what dizzy, but he had to keep moving, as he swayed slightly. Gordon waited.

Checking for anyone around, they were able to get away and into the side alley way from any side walk traffic.

They would be able to move around in finding some type of basement around the town. Gordon shifted his body to help James West, when they were able to find a unique spot to hide out, well out of reach for now.

Some time later inside the basement of a church of all things.

West could see Gordon was trying to diverse a plan. But the expression on his partner's face made it clear that he was having a difficult time. Even though he was generally able to keep his wit's about him. West's recent work had been a strain. Gordon knew that West was mentally fatigued and still physically below par.
