Pet stands next to Kit to catch her if she faints and listens to what she has to say, knowing she is right about the fighting. Pet opens her mouth to say something when she sees a lone rider approaching. She puts a hand up to shade her eyes and recognizes the rider.
"Guys, lookt it's Jeremy," they all turn to watch as he approaches and dismounts. Jeremy walkes over to them.
"mind if I join you? The Colonel wants us to look into some..." he stops as he sees the angry faces.
"Did I just walk into something here?" Kit nods and Pet sighes. Jim refuses to look at him.
"Kit you look like you need to sit down before you fall down. Come sit on this rock over here...it looks like we have some things to do before we can continue this mission."
J
eremy leads them over to rock and sits Kit down. Then he looks at his fellow agents waiting for one of them to speak.
Pet looks at Jeremy and thinks before she speaks.
"You know something Jeremy, I think it's jsut a case of emotions getting out of hand during an explosive situation (snickers as Kit rolls her eyes at Pet's choice of words) I'm willing to forget it and get on with my job." She extends her hand to Jim.
"Sorry, Jimmy?" Pet smiles, Jim groans then smiles and takes her hand.
"Yeah, just lose the Jimmy okay?" everyone laughs.

Jeremy was quite about what Jim told him as he tried to make sure peace was resolved at least for now.*
"Ok now where were you headed before I got here*
BSB and Pet Help Kit up and they head toward the saloon*
jim speaks* Thanks for the rescue, We are headed toward the saloon to see what we can uncover .
Jeremey looks a bit concerned toward Kit* What happend?
Jim Smiled "Oh the uuasl getting shot off a horse at full gallop and then nearly getting blown up again."
Jeremey smirked "So what your telling me is she is having a typical Artemus and Jim day?
"Yep" At this pont they are close behind the girls when they see a older woman comming out from a shop next to the saloon . (Ok apple) |

After a significant time has elapsed, Pidgeon rides into the town of Betroth. She dismounts in front of the local eatery and ties her horse to the hitching post.
Smoothing her hair back, she walks in.
Inside are several small round tables with pretty red and white checkered tablecloths. An older woman motions her in and shows her to a seat at the table near the window.
Pidgeon: "Thank you. I'm very thirsty. It's been a long ride. Lemonade, please, if you have it. Also, what is your special of the day. Meatloaf? Sounds wonderful. I'll have some."
The matron nods and heads to the kitchen.
Pidgeon looks around casually. Small group of people. The usual sort. A drifter. An older couple. Two sisters too busy gabbing to notice anything or anyone.
The door opens and a tall rugged looking man walks in. He pretends not to notice Pidge and wanders over to a table nearby.
The matron brings out a lemonade for Pidge and goes over to the newcomer.
Matron: "Good evenin', Mister. The special of the day is meatloaf. What'll ya have?"
Newcomer: "Coffee, black. Special will do."
The matron nods her head and walks back to the kitchen again. |

The matron, Mrs. Linkmeyer, brought out two plates of meatloaf and one cup of coffee. She brought Pidge's dinner out to her first and then served the newcomer.
"Gertrude," called out an elderly gentleman, "bring us out some of your delicious apple pie, will ya?"
Mrs. Linkmeyer: "Yah, yah. Just as soon as I get back to my kitchen."
Pidge: "Thank you. Please, some more lemonade when you get a chance"
Mrs. Linkmeyer: "Of course, my dear. Be right back."
Pidge places a napkin on her lap and starts to eat.
The newcomer eats his dinner as well all while keeping a careful eye on Pidge.
Finally, when all is done, the newcomer pays his bill and leaves. Fifteen minutes later, Pidge leaves as well.
She is followed at a discreet distance.

| *Apple nods to the dusty group making their way to the saloon, then takes her purchases to a small boarding house at the edge of town. She decides that in order to see without being seen in Betrothed, she needs a job. She heads to the local eatery and procures a position in the kitchen as a cook and pastry chef. While she is working later that day she notices Pidge eating in the dining room. She is able to keep an eye on her, but not knowing the local clientele, she doesn't realize that Pidge is being watched. She must get a message to one of the others that she has seen their friend.* |

*A loud man with a graying mustache and sideburns enters Mrs. Linkmeyer's Restaurant and makes his prescence known. Mrs. Linkmeyer takes his order then returns to the kitchen in a tizzy.*
Mrs.L:"My lands! That man wants some sort of blue chicken...what on earth does he mean? And almond something beans...where does someone get such ideas? The idea, blue chicken!
Apple:"I think that he may mean Chicken Cordon Bleu, does that sound right?" Mrs. L nods her head. "And Green Beans Almondine, right?" Again an assenting nod. "I think that I can help you, dearie," Apple tells her 'much younger" boss.
Mrs.L:"Well that would be a blessing, Henrietta, a huge blessing if you could whip that up for that gentleman! I'll go tell him that my new cook is going to serve him a meal that has never been seen in Betrothed!"
Apple begins preparing the meal that she has served to her colleagues many times. After Mrs. linkmeyer serves the gentleman Apple begins cleaning the kitchen, as the dinner hour is over. She hears great exclamations coming from the dining room.
Loud Customer:"Dear lady, I must see the cook to show my appreciation...a finer meal I have never tasted, not since my great Aunt Maude made the same dish for me when I was just a boy..."
Apple smiles at the reference and knows she has a contact. She leaves the kitchen and presents herself to the customer:"I am the cook who made your meal, and I must protest, it was nothing special. Something I learned from my mother."
Customer:"Well madam, I must say that I have never tasted the like of it before! let me introduce myself. I am Heathcliff Philemon Tucker, at your service. And you are?"
Apple:"Henrietta Osterpolyer, pleased to make your acquaintance. Thank you for the compliment."
Tucker:"May I escort you home, Mrs. Osterpolyer? I would consider it an honor to do so."
Apple:"Why thank you, I am about to go home for the evening, thank you Mr. Tucker."

*When the two are alone Apple tells Arte that she has seen Pidge, not long before Arte sat down to dinner. She tells him who else was in the dining room at the same time, describing each in detail. Arte asks where she thinks Pidge may have gone, but she doesn't know. She will ask questions, if she can. If she can get into the dining room more.*
Arte:"I don't think that will happen, now that you have served french cuisine, Ap...er Henrietta. Nice code name, by the way."
Apple:"Thank you very much! How about my disguise, is it all right?"
Arte:"Oh yes, you have learned much in spy school...very proud, very proud, indeed!" |

*When the two approach the boarding house Arte goes back into character.*
Tucker:"Why Mrs. Osterpolyer I look forward to many more meals in that eatery, of that you can be sure! Again, I have never tasted the like!" (whispered aside: Im heading to the saloon to see our colleagues)
Henrietta:"So you have said, Mr. Tucker, and thank you again."(Whispered aside: Of course. Keep me posted on developments.)"Thank you for escorting me home, it was so kind of you." She dimples at him as he kisses her hand.
Tucker:"My pleasure, I am sure, dear lady! I take my leave of you now. Adieu!" |

BSB was worried about Kit. When she and Pet helped Kit sit down in the saloon, Kit kept turning pale. Jim and Jeremy had gone up to the bar to check things out and get everybody a drink. BSB followed them up to the bar.
BSB'Guys, Kit doesn't look good at all, I think she needs to see a doctor.'
Jim'I was thinking the same thing, she really does look pale.'
BSB'It may be a concussion or something, I don't know.'
BSB turned to the bartender
BSB'Is there a doctor around here?'
'Yes,' replied the bartender,'But he's not in his office right now, I can tell you, he's probably over at the sheriff's office, he does jail checkups about the same time every day.'
Jim'Can you tell us how to get there?'
The bartender gave them directions.
Back at the table, BSB informed the group she was going to get a doctor to look at Kit even though Kit insisted she was fine.
BSB'The three of you look after her, I'm going to see about a doctor.'
Jim spoke up'I'm going with you.'
BSB'No, I think I can handle this assignment on my own.'
Jeremy spoke up. 'None of you that includes all the ladies and gentlemen do not need to wonder around this town alone, BSB Jim is going with you.'
BSB just looked at him and started to roll her eyes, but remembering what Colonel Richmond said,she didn't. Leaving Pet and Jeremy to look after Kit, Jim and BSB headed for the sheriff's office.
Back out on the main street, BSB just looked at Jim and rolled her eyes.
Jim'Will you quit that?'
BSB'Why do I get stuck with you this time? Why?'
Jim'Hey now wait a minute, if you'd just....'
Jim couldn't finish his sentence, as three men jumped him. BSB fingered the derringer in her sleeve, but one of the men grabbed her arm. Jim had punched out two of the men and was working on the third when BSB heard the gun click by her head.
'Mr. West, if you don't stop, she's dead.' The man said. 'Now drop all your guns, if you don't she's dead.
Jim had no choice, he dropped his gun belt and put his hands in the air.
'Good, very good.'said the voice,'Now both of you will be sleeping for awhile.'
BSB and Jim tried to fight the chloroform, but it was no use, they were out cold. The men put both of them in the wagon and took off. |

*As Arte made his way to the saloon he heard a ruckus in an alley. He pressed himself against the wall and eased his way around the corner, so as not to be seen. He saw BSB and Jim in a tangle with 3 goons. Arte did not step in, but watched. The two agents were chloroformed and put in a wagon, and he had no way to chase. He quickly made his way to the saloon and found Jeremy and the others. He sauntered up to the bar, where Jeremy was standing, and bought himself a drink.*
Arte/Tucker:"Whiskey, barkeep. How are you tonight sir? Can I buy you a drink?"
Jeremy:"Sure, always up for a free drink..."
Arte(aside) Just saw Jim and BSB hit the bricks. Left in a speeding wagon toward the foothills to the west.
Jeremy:"Thank you for the drink mister. Sorry to drink and run." He tipped his hat to Arte and headed toward the others, then the door.

OOC: You know, I don't think that I have said this to the general population of the forum, though I have tried to say it to those of you who have emailed me letting me know your concerns. And not just you Pidge, there have been others!
I want to say that I am sorry if I offended any of you, or made you mad with the "announcement" on page 32. I really didn't think that people would think that I was off my rocker, though to be sure, I don't know why. To me that announcement was just a start of an undercover assignment and I was surprised to find that people didn't understand that, so I am sorry.
Please continue to read the story, we are having such a great time writing it, and if you have any suggestions for any of the characters, please email them through the site! |

Apple I admitt I was a bit floored by that announcemnet, but once it was revelied that it was part of a case it made sense... I am here to say I was not offended... I would suggest in the future if anyone decides to marry one of the guys for an ssignment it not be held in such secracy for so long.. I can see where some new readers would get confused its not until a few pages later that the true situation is revealed....
I am having fun I don't know aboout anybody else and doing my civic duty to keep Artie from getting hit in the head hehehehehehhe
Hey we are all friends here and you can bet we will all be there for the annulment to make sure you sign LOL hehehehehehehe |

OOC: there doesnt need to be an annullment because the marriage is a sham. Not real, papers drawn up by a fake JP. I was going for shock, and I think that I got that response. And sorry all for keeping it a secret for so long, i thought it was funny. And Kitana, I think you guessed it the quickest! Since Arte isn't a cattle rancher, i thought that would give it away...
And since the marriage isn't real, no annullment will be signed |

OOC:
That's ok, Apple. I admit wholeheartedly that I handled it wrong. I really should have emailed you in private instead of posting it. For that, you already know, I apologize. It seems that even in cyberspace I can put my foot in my mouth.  
This has turned out to be one heck of a good storyline now. It must be because us five crazy WWW women keep coming back every single day. LOL. And I'm hoping we get some fresh blood in here to help us write.  Wouldn't that be cool?
Hey, Apple. We love ya. Like Kitana said, we'll be there to pick up the pieces after the annulment. (Especially Artie. LOL ) |
