The Night Of The Angle Of Projectory
Chapter 31
Artemus Gordon and James West finally arrived to the Fort Knox area to meet up with the security guards and the officer in charge. They were told that the robbery against Fort Knox had been stopped entirely with the air service destroying the three balloons along with capturing the lone man.
"What do you mean we have to take him back to Washington, D.C.? Secret Service agent James West raised his voice after they had been told to take the prisoner to the president to be interrogated.
"We have orders from your Colonel Richmond and the president. You're going to rest an hour while your wagon will be resupplied, while your going to have food and water until it's ready to go."
"Where do we go to eat and drink, along with washing up quickly?" Artemus asked in a upset mode to have everyone hear his question.
"I will have an escort to take the both of you. While we get your wagon ready and the prisoner. I just hope to god that entire operation never happens ever again?" The officer in charge says after speaking with one of his security officers to take the two secret service agents over to the mess hall on the other side of the vault to eat and drink.
Ten minutes later...
Chowing down with a tray of food that was cooked by the people in charge. They handed the two with a pile of food consisting of chicken, potatoes, a veggie, pie and a beer or juice. West and Gordon decided to take both along with a request to bring along a container of black coffee back to Washington, D.C.
"Jim I just don't like this with the both of us taking back the prisoner. Why us and not the military since it was there vault that was almost robbed?" Gordon says with taking apart the meat from the chicken leg on his tray.
"I don't like it either. Even though originally it is our job to find out the cause of those strange objects in the sky." West replied.
"Sure we have found out. Along with all of the crazy other items that had been weird. Since they have Sully back in Washington, D.C., as with the other. And now this prisoner, I am wondering who is actually behind the entire operation?" He asked with his curiosity kicking in again.
"I believe one of those two in Washington D.C. is the boss of the entire operation Artemus." West responded with finishing up his beer in the tin cup.
"Lets hope so. I need to get back home with my family, as with your own James boy!" Artemus announced to not really surprise James West since he had missed his wife Winoma and his son.
Afterwards finishing the food. West and Gordon went to the rest room that was set up for them to clean up and relieved themselves before leaving for the trip.
