The Night Of The Angle of Projectory

Chapter Two

There were a few times during the evening that several items had fell from the sky and dropping below the horizon. No one knew what it was at this particular time.

James West wasn't able to sleep all that great with all of the noise from the different animals roaming around. Unlike his partner Artemus Gordon, he had slept well in spite of everything going on around him. And this is what pissed off James West for the most part.

West needed to wake his partner in order to get moving towards the fort and meet with Colonel Richmond. Gordon started to grumble with having to wake quickly. For which he really didn't like the way he was waken by him.

"Jesus Jim! Did you really have to wake me at this time?" Gordon replied with his question and looking up into the sky as it was beginning to get light out.

"Yes I had to Artie! Did you forget we have to meet with Colonel Richmond. Come on lets pack up and start moving along. Wile continuing to hear his partner grumbling with packing away his things nto the saddle bag.

Two hours later arriving at the fort.

It was strange to see only a few soldiers around at the time the two agents had arrived. "Jim what's going on? I have never seen the fort protected like this before." Artie exclaimed with his words sounding a little bit off with seeing the site like this.

"I have no idea Artie. We will find out in a few moments with speaking to the Colonel." The both of them move on through with there horses and seeing very little troops or residents living inside the fort. "I just don't believe this." West says with shaking his head in disgust for the most part.

Finding Colonel Richmond's office and tying up the horses at the post. There was plenty of water for them to drink and eat around.

Artemus Gordon knocked on the door before his partner had the chance. "Come!" Hearing the usual response from the colonel inside his office.

"Gentlemen please sit. I have a great deal to discuss with the both of you." Colonel Richmond says to the two secret service agents.

"Before you start sir. What in the world is going on around here?" West replied with sitting down on front of him. While Artemus was restless and just needed to stand for a few moments.

"I have more than half my troops looking for those bright lights in the sky the past few days. I have no idea what they are at the moment gentlemen. Otherwise I need you to head for Washington, D.C. to protect the president." Richmond said without explaining further.

"Why what's going on with the president at the White House Colonel?" Gordon asked with finally sitting down next to his partner.

"Something about threatening letters Artemus. Otherwise that's all I know right now gentlemen. You need to leave as soon as possible once your able to change clothing and have a meal. I will have my men give you an additional horse with supplies for the trip to Washington, D.C."

In unison..."Yes, Colonel Richmond." The both agents to get up from there seats to gather themselves up for the next mission.

Walking outside into the fresh air. West and Gordon takes hold of there horses to head for the mess hall to have something to eat. While the Colonel was having one of his officers to gather up supplies for the two agents.
