Hot air balloons two of them were up very high over looking the Fort Knox area. The two associates inside each one using framed binoculars to look down to see what type of security there were at the gates, while moving away to head back to camp.
Meanwhile inside the vault. All of the gold and coins were placed inside with the guards signing a report to be sent back to the officers in charge. The security guards and the carriage would be heading back to Virginia.
With the guards coming out of the vault. The both of them look up into the sunny sky to see two strange objects into the sky and for which they had no idea on what it was. They didn't bother to look again before releasing that the objects had disappeared quickly.
The carriage and the guards headed out of the fort. It was going to be a long trip with supplies packed inside the carriage after dropping off the gold and coins into the vault.

Artemus Gordon and Greenly holding onto there prisoner. They would be arriving at the White House in twenty minutes. They had reach the city perimeter with the early dawn approaching .
Finally arriving at the side entrance of the White House. Both men were exhausted with moving down the prisoner, even though he didn't try to excape.
Greenly had Artemus to watch the prisoner while moving inside to speak with who ever was on duty for the secret service. "Joneys is the president up from his sleep? We have a prisoner from the cave outside of town and is involved with the operation with those strange objects in the sky."
"I will go inform the president. By the way please let Artemus Gordon know that his partner James West is here on the third floor sleeping. He arrived last night Greenly." He left to speak with the president, while Greenly went to speak with Gordon and seeing if the prisoner was behaving.
Moments later...
Joneys walks outside of the kitchen to have the two agents and the prisoner to be asked questions. Walking through the kitchen with two other agents following them to protect the prisoner. They would be inside the library with the president, Gordon and Greenly asking Wayne the questions.
"Tell me Wayne do you happen to know why the objects in the sky?" The president asked from his chair smoking heavy.
Wayne was standing in the middle of the library with the secret service including Gordon and Greenly standing in the back and front of the president.
"They are weather balloons to survey the Virginia Fort Knox section. I don't know the full details sir, but I think they are planning on stealing something from the vault."
Artemus asked the next question. "How many are involved in the operation Wayne?" He asked with the president being annoyed at this point.
"I know my boss Geo Walton is in charge and I believe he lives in New York City. He gives the orders. Otherwise there are twenty others having worked with getting the balloons ready to survey."
It was the president's turn this time with placing his cigar into the ash tray. "When are they planning on robbing Fort Knox?" He says with a demeanor that was frightening to see.
"It could be any time Mr. President." Wayne replied.
"All right gentlemen. I suggest you put him into the cell down in the basement and make sure there are plenty of guards to watch him. Bu tin the meantime I need to send a message to Fort Knox and let them know what is going on. Greenly set up a team and soldiers to head for Fort Knox. Make sure to bring plenty of firearms just in case Fort Knox is attack from those balloons." The president ordered while Gordon went upstairs to see how his partner James West was doing.
