Chapter Five The Night Of The Misdirection
"Mary Ann, these two meddlers have destroyed my plans for the last time. He pounded his fist on the table from the saloon. "They even killed Tully as well escaping, while bringing food and water to them."
"That's too bad Miguelito."
"I will have to devise my plan further and end this travesty once and for all." Loveless jumped down and paced around the saloon.
"Miguelito, you're come up with something, you always do."
"Yeah, but now I have to worry about Winoma and this other woman named Susan to get in my way, as they always find a way out of my nasty traps, and they always make fun of me while doing it...not this time, I want them finished for good." He grinned as he rubbed his hands together.

Susan, Winoma and Artemus were able to make it to the horse and carriage.
Artie was able to get West to lay down leaving Winoma to care for him, while he and Susan were in the front. Artie sure Susan was holding onto her rifle, while he was driving since it was beginning to become light out with the sun rising.
Jim stared transfixed, while Winoma was placing a bandage around his head now, from the supplies they had brought with them.
"Do you think Jim is going to be all right after the past months of being rough up?" Artie looked over at her for a moment before answering.
"Yes, he's strong like a bull Susan, he will come back up again with his health back to normal, he just needs to rest." Artie beamed.
"Good, we need to get moving quicker, I just don't like surprises."
"Neither do I, Susan." Artie arched an eyebrow at her.
Artemus was holding on tightly with the reigns making sure it was securely tight, as they moved off.

"I have it, Maryann, I have it!" Dr. Miguelito Loveless shouted. "I have finally come up with a way to rid myself of Mr. Gordon and Mr. West forever." He wrung his hands excitedly.
"I am glad, Miguelito, what do you planned besides using Andrew again?" Maryann asked as she continued to softly play with her harp in the corner.
"First I need to get them separate the dynamic duo, as with their woman, then I can work on how to get the other one here, after I had a little bit of fun.
Loveless wrote several notes on small pieces of paper and carefully folded them. He walked over to a row of bird cages. He opened the nearest cage and slipped the first note into a canister on the bird's leg. He set the bird loose and went on to the next one. Six notes in all went out on the carrier pigeons.
"There, that should be enough." Loveless said as he rejoined Maryann at her harp an began singing. "One of my henchmen should be bringing us a guest soon." He grinned at the thought.
