Kitana Montgomery walked up on the platform of the train and knocked. This new assignment seemed relativly easy and she was glad of that it was about time things slowed there pace a bit.
Artemus opened the Door and smiled "Ahh The first of the recruits have arrived. Come in Jim will be here soon with the details of the assignment. Would you care for a drink?"
"No thank you I am fine, The hotel in town was quite nice and they had a wondeful breakfeast."
Kit sat at one of the over-stuffed chairs and looked about the train same as always cozy but comfortable. |

In the nearby town of Fortune, Pidge Sanderson saddles up her horse and prepares to meet her superiors. She checks her bags to ensure that she hasn't forgotten anything. Her derringer is there along with a few other minor blowee uppees that she's been working on. She examines them and sighs. Pidge knows that she has a lot to learn in this category and she's hoping to further her studies with the reknowned Artemus Gordon.
To all the world she appears to be a young school marm. A simple but effective disguise. She adjusts her bonnet, tucks away her weapons and heads out to the train. |

Bess Moore checked her luggage and made sure she had everything. She slid her derringer in her garter and headed for the train to meet with the agents she'd been assigned too. She'd heard of Jim West and Artemus Gordon and was thrilled she was getting a chance to work with them. She knocked on the door of the train. A man with blue/green eyes answered.
Jim'Yes,?'
Bess'I'm Bess Moore with the Secret Service.'
Jim opened the the door and ushered her in.
Another man came up to her.
Artie'How do you do, Miss Moore, I'm Artemus Gordon, would you care for something to drink?'
Bess'No thank you, I'm here reporting for duty.'
Jim West introduced her to the other woman sitting there.
The two women shook hands.
Artie'Just have a seat, Miss Moore, we have a few more agents coming.'
Bess sat down beside Kit and waited. |

Pet (no last name just Pet mostly cause I can't think of one) approached the train hoping these two agents she was supposed to meet here didn't mind that she didnt dress as a conventional lady of the day since Pet is anything BUT conventional.
She looked at the fancy train and rolled her eyes. These guys are supposed to be the best of the best? Look kinda soft to me,Pet thought as she walked up the platform steps and knocked on the door. The door opened to a rather started gentleman.
"Uh...something I can help you with...miss?" The man asked as he took in her appearance.
"If I am in the right place then, yes. I am Pet. I was told to report here for assigenment." Pet put her hand out to the man who stared openmouthed.
"Close your mouth you're letting all the flies out." Pet remarked as she took his hand and shook it.
The man moved aside and Pet entered the car and saw the other ladies waiting.
"Agent Apple isn't here yet? I was told I would be paired up with her." Pet commented as she took a seat at the table. All eyes were on this strange new recruit.
"What? You've never seen a lady in pants before? Get used to it people."
"Uh...sure we are. I'm Artemus Gordon, by the way and this is James West. Would you like something to drink?" Artemus asked.
"Not yet and by the looks of this place you probably don't have what I like anyway."
"I hear you have a passable lab on this crate I hope we are allowed to use the lab."
Artemus rolled his eyes at James and groaned something told him this was not going to be your average calss of recruits. |
Agents! Ya can't live with them. And Admin takes a rather dim view to ya blowing em up.  |

Kit stood up and walked over to Pet "Good to see you again Pet, Been awhile since the academy. Still Shocking people I see." She shook Pet's hand and looked at Jim and Artemus "You will get used to her she excelled in explosives."
Jim Spoke "We know we read your files, Only one here that we are not sure of is you Miss Montgomery nothing until the Academy."
She smiled and sat back down "I am a private person."
HE glared at her and she just smiled her dark brown eyes shining.

"Oh while we are waiting on the other recruits can someone tell me where to put my horse?" Pet looked at the two men.
"You brought your own horse?" Artemus asked.
"Got the papers right here saying I can. Government Issue stock is not up to what I need. Little Boy is tied up out there."
Artemus rose and went to the hidden pannel and pulled out the microphone and called to Orrin and had her horse put in the stable car.
"Thanks, Little Boy goes where ever I go." Pet said and she leaned back in her seat. |

"And gentlemen," Pet told them in an icy tone, "NEVER believe all of what you read and only half of what you hear."
"Pet you didn't..." Kit snickerd.
"You know I'm a private person, Kit. I didn't even supply them with my last name what makes them think all that information they have is anywhere near accurate. Pet as a debutant." Pet rolled her eyes as Artemus grabbed her file and began reading.
"Debutant? Oh Pet that's a good one!" Kit laughed.
"If you didn't put all your true information in here, Miss....Pet we might have a serious problem." Artemus glared at her.
"You might...I don't. What's in there since I joined the SS is true and accurate thats all you need to know." |

Pidge sees the train in the distance. She takes her time riding up, scouting around to see what else there was. She dismounts, pats her horse on the neck and whispers to it. His head rears up as if in answer and she laughs. She reaches into her pocket for a treat and feeds it to him. "Good boy, Sam. Stay here and wait for me."
She climbs the steps to the car and knocks. A handsome man with dark hair answers. "Yes, Miss? Is there something I can do for you?"
Pidge holds out her hand and says, "Hello. My name is Pidge Sanderson. I believe Colonel Richmond told you I would be coming?"
"Yes, Yes. Please come in, by all means. My name is Artemus Gordon." He takes her hand and kisses it in a gentlemanly fashion.
"Thank you." She steps into the car and looks around.
"Miss Sanderson, I'd like you to meet James West. And this is Miss Bess Moore, Miss Kitana Montgomery and Miss Pet...(he pauses) Miss Pet."
"Pleased to meet you." Pidge nods her head in greeting to the others.
Jim motions her to a seat. "Please, Miss Sanders. Would you like a seat? We still have time before the others arrive."
"Thank you." |

Kit was still smiling as Artemus was rereading Pets file...
"Well at least you put something worth reading in yours mine is just blank... Seems they really didn't need anything, they let anybody in these days.."
Jim looked at her "Not Hardly Miss Montgomery yours assignment to the SS academy was sacntioned by the President himself much to the dismay of Col Richmond. And that is all your file says before the academy. Would you like to tell us why the President would vouch for you?"
Kit looked at him straight faced "Why did he vouch for you?"
"That was not the question"
"Really sounded like it to me." Artemus could see Jim's patience begain wearing thin with this particular agent but Jim let it drop.
Kit turned to Pidge and Bess "So ladies how was your trip here?"

Pet was beside herself with laughter. Now she remembered why she had enjoyed Kit's company at the Academy so much. Finally straightening in her chair, she tried to contain her giggles as Artie glared at her.
"I see we have our hands full with SOME of these recruits, Jim" Artemus looked at his partner.
"Hey nowhere in my file does it say I'm NOT a handful." Pet smirked.
"You got the President to remove that, Pet?" Kit asked laughing, "that must have been some private conversation!"
Artemus and James just looked at each other and sighed. |

| Jim picked up the file on Bess Moore and started reading. Her father was Colonel William Calvin Moore? Colonel Moore had been one of his commanding officers. The South had considered him a traitor and the North considered him a hero. He wondered if Moore's daughter was as cocky as he was. This was an interesting group of agents indeed. |

Apple Byrne stepped from the train and asked the porter where she might find the siding on which the Wanderer was sitting. He directed her to the other side of the depot, and taking her bag she followed him.
She was dressed in her traveling clothes, down to white kids gloves and fancy hat. She made quite the picture walking behind the porter, head held high, book in hand. She had come into field work from the Secret Service Library. She had been an administrative assistant there, and archivist. The work was interesting, but not active enough, she wanted to get her hands dirty, and she new that working undercover would utilize her skills and make for an interesting life.
She tipped the porter then knocked on the door of the varnish car of the private train. |

"Hey Pet, What was that the President told you it was either the SS or the stockade?"
"yeah, seems I blew up the wrong building." Pet was smiling
Artemus looked up from his reading "Blew up the wrong Building? How does one Blow up the wrong building?"
Pet gave an evil grin "Yeah you know blow up ONE building with the President inside and they get all bent out of shape.." She then looked straight at Kit "Hey weren't you in the stockade?"
"Yeah almost met the hangman's noose and to be honest I think the nosse would have been better than these two guys."
Aretemus was still trying to wrap his mind around blowing up the wrong building and not letting this Pet anywhere near his lab. Jim went straight to the telegraph to find out just what nut cases they had sent them.
Kit grinned at Bess "Bess Moore I know that name didn't you get into it with your CO at the academy?"

"No need to get bent out of shape, Mr. Gordon." Pet told him, "It was a simple mistake and I learned my lesson. Graduated top of my class in explosives and munitions....with an even higher score than yours I'm told."
Artemus stared at her and picked her file up again. |

Bess'Yes, he had it in for me because of a few things, but I did get some sweet revenge.'
Kit'That was you?'
Bess'Yes, poor man, weren't you glad when he left?' |

At the knock Artie put Pet's file down and went to answer the door. He opened it to a very refined young lady dressed for traveling.
"Hello, miss, may I help you?" Artemus smiled at her.
"Yes, you may tell Mr. Artemus Gordon and a Mr. James West that Miss Apple Byrne is reporting for duty." Apple smiled at him as she waited to be invited in.
"Oh...oh you're Apple Byrne? Won't you come in, I'm Artemus gordon and this is James West." He gestured to the other ladies, "May I introduce Dess Morgan, Kit Montgomery, Pidge Sanderson and Pet."
Apple looked them all over like she was examining the help before a dinnery party.
"Which of you is Pet? I am to be partnered up with Pet." Artemus snickered as he gestured toward Pet. |

"Get a load of this Deb, Kit. Yep this is gonna be SOME training." Pet smirked as she stuck her hand out to Apple.
"Hi, I'm Pet your new partner." Pet was mildly surprised at the firm handske.
"Yep, Kit this is gonna be a ride." Artemus didn't know quite what to make of this rag tag group of recruits he an Jim had been handed. |

Kit leaned over to Bess and whispered her question.
Kit'What exactly happened to CO McCampbell?'
Bess'Well after he found out some of my family history, he decided he wanted to marry in the family. So he made a pass at me along with a marriage proposal. I pistol whipped him and told him how I would have dozens of female witnesses saying he'd done it to them. So he told the higher ups he had a terrible accident and had to leave to recover. No more Co McCampbell.'
Kit'Good going Bess!!'
Bess'Yes my first lesson in getting rid of a crook.'
Pidgeon, Apple and Pet overheard the conversation and snickered. |

The telegraph clicked to life and Jim jumped and ran over to it. Hoping beyond hope they would be allowed to get rid of Pet and Kit.
He grabbed paper and pencil and quickly tapped the acknowledgement and waited. Pet heard and listened but showed no signs other than to wink at Kit and nod her head.
Jim wrote the incoming message down and frowned. It seems no additional information on either Pet or Kit would not be forthcoming. And on direct order from President Grant Artemus and James were to do whatever necessary to trun ALL these recruits into top notch agents. Jim sent the acknowledgement and put the pencil down.
Jim glanced at Pet then Kit as he handed the paper to Artemus who read it quickly and looked at Pet and kit, studying them closely.
What is it about those two that Grant wants us to even try working with them? Artemus thought as he sighed. |

Jim handed Bess's file to Artie.
Jim'Look what we've got here, this one will probably be some spoiled debutante, doesn't want to get her hands dirty.'
Artie'Partner, you didn't read this file very through did you? When she first joined the Secret Service she used a false last name because she didn't want anybody to know who she was. Then Colonel Richmond saw her one day and found her out.'
Jim'You're kidding!'
Artie'It seems she doesn't speak of it at all, defintely not a name dropper and she made it through with no outside help at all. Didn't want it.'
Jim'So she's a tough one?'
Artie'By reading this it seems she has your type of attitude.'
Jim'Thats great, that just all we need.'
Artie smiled to himself. Two types of James West? Oh this was going to be one heck of a ride. |

| Apple Byrne looked at the women in the small room. They were a part of the first female recruits in the Secret Service, and goodness, they were rough. Pet, her new partner, seemed as though she were judging Apple on her appearance. So her daddy had money, it didn't make her any less qualified as an agent. Besides she was probably a better shot than even the two superior officers. She had been first in her riflery class, even over the men, and a quick shot to boot. Having MacDonald Byrne as a father meant that you were taught everything about a gun, backward, forward, inside out, and upside down. She could clean a gun, load it, and fire it in her sleep. She even knew how to make her own slugs for a rifle. Yes, she and her brother, Kent, were strong marksmen. |

Jim stood and looked at the new recruits “Ok Ladies, for better or worse myself and Artemus Gordon are to be your superiors on this assignment. I will expect you to conduct yourselves in a professional manner as befits the Secret Service. Now as you know this first assignment is a counterfeiting case. We will be heading to Miner’s Rock, California it is a thriving Gold Mining town. Several of the businesses there have passed counterfeit bills to the bank. There are two smaller towns near Miner’s Rock that have also turned up the currency.”
Artemus went to the map and spoke “We can not allow this to continue or our countries currency will be worth nothing. The two adjacent towns are a half days rind north and south of Miner’s Rock. We will meet up with Jeremy Pike in Miner’s Rock he will ride with Pet and Apple to Thortonville to the south, I will ride with Pidgeon and Bess to Captain’s Ridge to the north while Jim and Kitana stay in Miner’s Rock. Any Questions?” |

"Well Miss Bryne. Jeremy will have the details of where the countierfit money was found in your loction. He will be there to guide you but you wil have to figure that out."
Jim stepped forward, "Mr. Gordon is correct Miss Bryne, a big part of field work is deduction and improvisation to get to the truth. You ladies were chosen for this assignment to see how well you preform in the field." |

Artemus Gordon took Pidgeon and Bess aside to map out their cover.
Artie'Ladies this is going to our cover, I'm going to be your rich father and you two will be my daughters. We've got a ticket on the next stage which is in about an hour.'
Bess'Agent Gordon, I hope you have a good disguise, because you don't look old enough to be our father.'
Artie'Please call me Artie, Bess, yes, I do have a disguise that will make me look like your father. Can either one of you do a southern accent?'
Pidgeon'I believe I can.'
Bess replied'My,my yes, I was born in Tennessee.'
Artie'Good, there is a dress shop next to the local hotel, go in there and buy some fancy dresses like the rich wear, I'll meet you there in about an hour. My name will be Charles Sheffield. Pidgeon, you will be Frances and Bess you will be Jennifer. Lets go.'
Pidgeon and Bess headed for the dress shop to get the necessary items needed. |

Pidge and Bess step up into the carriage waiting for them outside. The driver is one of the hands from the engine dept. They ride into town and go straight to the dress shop where they start looking and trying on all sorts of fancy dresses.
Pidge tries on a satin blue dress with a high neck collar and ruffles. She also looks at other dresses, not so formal. An emerald green taffeta catches her eye. The neck is a little low but not too revealing. The short sleeves are puffy and just cover her ivory cream complexion shoulders.
The owner of the shop is in her glory. Big dollar signs are ringing up in her head as she sees these two young ladies pick out dress after dress after dress.
Pidge approaches her and asks for help in choosing hats and gloves and little petite handbags and parasols. And don't forget the shoes. |

Bess chooses several absolutely stunning dresses, including the yellow one that Pidge was admiring. They decide to have everything boxed up and loaded into the carriage. By the time they were done, there was hardly room left for the ladies.
While they were sitting there an elderly gentleman approached them.
"Daddy!" cried Bess. |

Bess immediately went into character.
Bess'Look what all we got, Daddy.'
Artie'Is there still room in the stagecoach, Jennifer?'
Bess'Why of course, Daddy.'
Artie'Are my girls ready for their trip.?'
Bess'Yes Daddy, we really were able to get some nice things here.'
Pidgeon'Oh yes Daddy!'
Artie put his arm around both women.
Artie'Anything for my two daughters, whatever your heart desires.'
Bess and Pidgeon stepped aboard the stagecoach with Artie right behind them. |

Pet looked at Apple and snickered.
"Guess it's you and me Deb." Pet poured herself a glass of whiskey, "Oh you want one?"
Apple: "Yes, please." Pet does a double take but pours her a glass and hands it to her.
"I think we need to have a talk you and I, Deb." Pet sat down at the table and faced her.
Apple: "What do you have in mind?"
"I think we need to get some things straight. Deb, I'm here because I have to be. You...you are probably here because you're bored. I do not want to be here. I do not want to be partnered with some frilly laced, book toting, Deb." Pet took a drink from her glass.
"I don't work well with others, I always have been and always will be a loner. I am not here to be your buddy, your pal or your friend. Get that through your stuffy little head and we'll get along just great." Pet finished her drink in one swallow.

Apple glinted at Pet, "I never said that I wanted to be your buddy, your pal, or your friend. I am, however, your partner and will be treated as such." She downed her whiskey in one shot and set the glass on the table in front of her.
"Bored, never. Not using my skills to their fullest potential, absolutely." She pours each of them another whiskey. "You have underestimated me, Pet, and that can be a mistake." She raised her glass to Pet, then downed it quickly. |
