Bess took Jim in the back. The office had a huge window where you could see if anybody came up.
"Jim who is Lucy Crenshaw? Have you figured it out yet?" Bess asked.
"Why do you want to know are you jealous or something?" Jim replied.
"Not hardly sir, but besides this thing with Grant going on we've got some irritated boyfriend looking for you, now who is Lucy?"
"Bess, I don't have any idea..."
"Its Beth you idiot, what is wrong with you? Are you trying to blow this cover?"
"Ah no Beth...."
"Hang on there, I'm getting Jeremy."
Bess headed to the lab hoping she could pry Victoria off of Jeremy for a minute to see if he could tell what was wrong with Jim.
Before Bess could get back with Jeremy, Jim was gone. |

Pet was walking down the sidewalk when she noticed Apple with Jim. What the heck? Pet thought as she moved to interecpt them.
"Apple, Mr. West." Pet nodded a greeting.
"Deb, you shouldn't be seen with Mr. West...maybe you should head back to work."
"I am headed to the sheriff's office for a meeting with Captain Hamilton to discuss the security arrangements for Grant's visit. Why don't you come with me Pet you could probably shed a lot of light on this."
"Good idea, Mr. West. Let's go in the back way. I can't afford for any of my gang to see me with you." Pet looked to Apple.
"See ya at the store, Deb!" |

Kit meet Voltire in the ally he had a picnic basket in one hand and extended his arm for Kit to take. She did and he smiled down at her speaking "Pretty"
"Thank you Voltire."
As they walked out of town Apple got a glimpse of a tall man walking with a very familiar woman. But when she looked again they were both gone.
Voltire lead Kit to a small stream not far from town and to under a big oak tree he lay out a blanket and sat the basket down. Kit sat down as he lay out the food she was a bit leary at first until he begain to eat and motioned for her to do the same, she did so and the meal was quiet.
Afterwards she spoke "Voltire is that your actual name or the one the Doctor gave you."
"my name."
Kit nodded this was going to be slow going at best and she couldn't help looking over her shoulder thinking this was some sort of trick.

Kit was about to ask Voltire about Loveless' plan when she heard that familiar laughter.
"So Voltire what have we here are you changing sides now."
"No" Voltire stood visably shaken Kit couldn't help but feel sorry for this giant that the Dr used for his own evils.
"you leave him alone, he has the mind of a child and you twist it to your use."
"Voltire makes up his own mind. Don't you Voltire"
The big man nodded and stood next to Loveless. Kit shook her head and sighed.
"so this was a trap was it Voltire."
"no"
"So what is this, I thought we were having a nice time and you invite your boss along."
"no" Voltire looked at Loveless "why here."
"Just to make sure this lovely lady is not usuing you for anything."
Loveless "disarm her"
Voltire walked over to kit and took her Gun.
"I am not you loveless I wouldn't do that."
Loveless pulled a small darranger and pointed it at Kit."I am sorry my dear but you can not be allowed to return to your team."
Voltire layed his hand on Loveless' shoulder. "Not know Voltire I am sorry but we can't leave her alive to talk."
He started to pull the trigger and Voltire pushed Loveless just a bit so that he missed Kit took this oppertunity and spun heading toward a small hill if she can make it to the other side. She can hear Loveless yelling at Voltire and she felt sorry for the tall man if they could get him away from Loveless he might have a chance at life. She made it to the top of the hill and noticed a pool of water at the bottom this was not good not good at all, she heard the gun fire again and she went into the water.
Loveless looked over the hill and Voltire turned away as they saw Kit float for just a moment then sink into the water from the weight of her drinched gown. Voltire picked up Loveless and walked away he said nothing and by the time they were back at the hide out Loveless had Voltire convinced that Kit was evil and Loveless was right.

Kit climbed out of the water on the other side her dress was heavy with water and she just lay there for a moment slowly coughing she sat up and took off her petticoat from underneath the dress and just left it. She headed slowly back to town with no more information than what she had started with.
Once at the edge of town she looked down and noticed her dirty clothes she hoped she could make it to the hotel without any questions. She saw the Captian walk into the sheriffs office and realized it was time for the meeting. She headed into the Sheriffs office through the front this way if anyone was curious about her clothing she could tell people it was bandits who robbed her. She noticed Pet and Jim as well as Captian Wade and the sheriff in deep conversation they looked up when they heard someone come in. She just smiled
"Did I miss anything?"
She swooned and nearly fell Jim caught her and eased her into a chair, she waved him off "I'm alright"
Jim looked at her "you don't look alright maybe we should get a doctor"
Kit shook her head no and the room begain to spin she put her head in her hands and spoke "Continue with the meeting we don't need to keep Captian Wade here anylonger than nessecary."

"Gentlemen, Mr. West and Mr. Pike will need to stay close to the President as will Mr. Gordon. I know he's undercover but the President would be wanting to meet with the Author Mr. Gordon is masquerading as so that will work." The men nod their heads in agreement.
"Pet is there any way you can stay close by? Your explosives might come in handy when someone tries to get to Grant." Captain Hamilton said.
"I will be nearby but I can't be too close. Remember my gang is supposed to be the ones to make the attempt." Pet glanced at Jim and noted that he merely nodded in agreenment, no recognition showed on his features.
"True, well just be as close as you can and be ready for anything Loveless might have in store."
"Not a problem, I'll be there and I will do my job. You might not know I'm there but I will be there. Loveless can't see me until this is over or he'll know it's a trap."
They continued the meeting making plans for the security, Pet keeping an eye on Jim and hoping Mr. Gordon and Mr. Pike can pick up the slack.

Kit finally spoke up "I will stick close to Grant, My cover is blown so I will have to do it another way than what I had planned."
She stood still shaky and a bit cold and walked over to the table. "I will Dress as the presidents physician shouldn't be to hard to swap us out we are both relativly the same hight and seeing how Dr Loveless thinks I am dead it should be easy to do." SHe noticed the look on everyone's faces"I'll explain later, Pet do you have anything new I can put in my bag just in case?"

"Yes, kit actually I do have a few new things for you. I'll get them to you when I get back to the hotel I can send a bellboy to your room." Kit nodded and turned to leave.
"Kit, take care," Pet told her friend who nodded on her way out the door. |

Kit watched Pet go and shook her head "I really wish she would quit telling me that every time she does I nearly get killed."
She looked at the others "Ok I am freezing here and before I catch my death of cold I am headed back to the hotel. I'll go in the back hopefully no one will see me."
Kit knew she would have to meet up with Grant once he arrived so she could take the place of his physician. She made her way back to the hotel and changed out of her wet clothes and back into something more suitible, she ordered up some hot tea and brandy and waited for Pet's package.

Pet hurried back to her hotel room and readied a package to be sent to Kit's room. She placed some explosives in the container along with a note telling her how to use them and to ONLY use them if they were needed. All I need if Mr. Gordon or Mr. West coming unglued if Kit harms the Old Man with any of this, Pet thought as she packed the protective wadding around the vials.
After having given the package to the bellboy and tipping him Pet left the hotel to find Apple and let her know what was going on. |

Pet was grinning like the cheshire cat and Apple knew she was found out. "I have no ideas Pet," she told her partner as she dusted shelves and merchandise.
Pet smirked. "Well I thought as much Deb. We need to plan something. Meet me after dark outside your boarding house. We can discuss this then."
Taking a piece of jerky from the jar on the counter, Pet tipped her hat at her partner, "Take care of this, will ya' Deb?"
Apple rolled her eyes as Pet left the mercantile, then crossed to the account book and wrote the charge under her own name. |

Kit recived the package and placed the explosives in her Dr bag she burned pet's note in a small tray on the table and smiled to herself she knew pet would worry about Kit blowing up Grant but Pet really shouldn't worry if anything she would blow herself up if her luck held out.
Kit changed into her men's clothing adding some makeup to look like an older gentleman and added a hat she powdered her hair to make it look gray. She walked down stairs and spoke to the clerk telling him that Milly was ill and she was to not be disturbed by anyone he would come back and check on her later.
Kit walked out of the hotel right past Artemus and Pidge she smiled as they didn't seem to notice her.

Pidge and Artemus entered the mercantile as Apple closed the account book. She looked up and smiled at her friends, "Good afternoon. How can I help you today?" she asked the author and his granddaughter.
"I need to have some tobacco for my pipe, young lady. What do you carry?" Artemus said to Apple. She was surprised, but whatever it takes to stay in character. She knew that from her own experience. As she showed him the selection in the mercantile, Mr. Peterson came out of the back room with some tins of varnish. He placed them on the shelves next to some jars of preserves, then went back to the storeroom. Apple and Arte exchanged glances, but Arte kept sniffing through the jars of tobacco, trying to find the perfect blend.
Pidge finally helped him select one that smelled sweet, and Apple put it in a leather pouch for him. "Thank you my dear," he said as he paid her. The till bell rang as Apple opened the drawer to deposit the money then gave him his change.
"Thank you sir. It has been a pleasure." The information that she had included in the pouch would be read when he returned to his room at the hotel, away from the prying eyes of the townspeople. |

When Artemus and Pidge had left the mercantile Apple went to the shelf where Mr.Peterson had stocked the varnish next to the preserves and moved them to the appropriate counter near the other hardware supplies.
As he came through the curtain from the store room with flour sacks, Mr. Peterson smiled at his clerk. "My dear you do keep yourself busy, don't you?" he started whistling as he put the flour in the spot recently made empty by Apple.
"Mr. Peterson, are feeling well?" she asked him. Peterson turned to look at her. "Feeling well? Yes, I am. Why do you ask, Miss Byrne?" Apple smiled. "Nothing, just that you don't always seem yourself, is all." The shopkeeper smiled at her, then headed back to his storeroom. "You are thoughtful to ask after my health, Miss Byrne, but I have never felt healthier!" And with that he was whistling another tune in the back room. Apple locked the doors and pulled the shades, then put the money from the till in the safe.
"Have a good evening, Mr. Peterson," she poked her head through the curtain. He was sitting in a chair staring straight ahead. "Mr. Peterson?"
He was not responding to her voice. "MR. PETERSON!" He finally turned to look at Apple. "Yes? Can I help you miss?" Apple was alarmed. Peterson suddenly didn't recognize her. "Stay right here, please Mr. Peterson. I will be right back."
Apple quickly left the mercantile, her eyes searching the street for another agent or someone who could help. Suddenly she saw Captain Wade Hamilton coming toward her. She rushed to him, told him what was going on, and asked him to go get Kit or Bess to help. They had medical training, and she didn't trust Scott McClatchy. |

Artemus and Pidge returned to their hotel and found the note from Apple in the tobacco pouch. She told them what she had noticed about Scott McClatchey, and Mr. Peterson. She also told them that she and Pet were to meet that evening to formulate a plan, and that Arte and Pidge should be there also.
Meanwhile Apple was waiting with Mr. Peterson, who had lapsed back to an almost catatonic state, staring at the shelves. Finally Captain Hamilton returned with Bess in tow.
Bess took one look at Mr. Peterson and announced, "He has been drugged with something powerful. We need to get him to his room, and we can't leave him by himself." Captain Hamilton carried Peterson to his rooms above the mercantile, and placed him on his bed. Apple had left to find someone to sit with Peterson, as she had to meet with Pet soon.
She found Jeremy having dinner alone, and asked him for his help. He escorted her back to the mercantile and assisted Bess with Mr. Peterson, while the captain offered to escort Apple to her boarding house. |

The boarding house was well lit by the time Apple and the captain reached it. There was a grove of trees that would serve as cover for her meeting with Pet and Arte and Pidge, and that was where Wade led her before letting her go inside.
"I have missed you, Apple," he said as he kissed his wife. They had been married for several years, but none of the other agents, save Artemus, James, and Jeremy knew. Artemus and Wade had been friends for years, and he had been in their wedding.
"I've missed you too, Wade," she smiled at him. She laughed when he asked her about her previous assignment in Thortonville. He knew some about her cover, and she quickly told him more about the dance hall routines she had had to learn, and quickly. Wade was a trusting man, and he knew his wife could handle herself while undercover. He also knew that Jeremy Pike had been her partner through most of the assignment, so that she had not been on her own.
"Tell me about your new partner, her name is Pet?" Apple rolled her eyes and told him about the woman that Grant had placed her with, and about Pet's previous addiction to morphine. She also told him that she would be meeting her later. After another kiss, the couple parted ways and Apple returned to the boarding house for dinner. |

At the appointed time Apple made her way to the grove of trees near the boarding house she was living in to meet Pet, Arte, and Pidge. When she arrived she found just Pet, and no signs of the other two agents yet.
"You owe me a nickel," Apple said to her partner as she walked into the grove. Pet smirked, pulled the said nickel from a leather bag in her jacket pocket, and tossed at Apple. Apple caught it, surprising Pet.
"So Deb. What's the plan?" She leaned against a tree, supporting her aching back.
Apple watched for Arte and Pidge, wishing she had any idea of what was going on. She had not asked Wade for any information, how stupid of her. |

| James was sitting in the saloon when the thugs that Pet had joined forces with came up to him. "Can we persuade you to join us friend?" One of them asked Jim. He looked at the thugs, slightly bewildered. They stole amused glances at each other, then hoisted Jim to his feet and dragged him away. |

Loveless was giggling gleefully when the thugs put James into the hansom cab with him. "Mr. West, how are you feeling this evening?" James looked at him as if he recognized him, but he couldn't place Loveless's face.
"Do I know you?" Loveless's giggle turned into a laugh. "Oh yes Mr. West, you certainly do. We are old friends, you might say!"
James smiled, albeit uncertainly, at the fact that he and Loveless were "friends". |

"Mr. West, I am going to call upon our friendship and ask you to help me," Loveless told him.
"How can I help you...I'm sorry, your name again?" James really had no idea to whom he was talking.
Not hiding his mirth, Loveless answered, "Miguelito. A shame that you can't remember, dear friend James. But no matter. I know that you will help an old friend, whether you remember me or not."
James nodded his agreement and Miguelito launched into the details of the plan he was hatching, and how he would need James to help him. |

Pet and Apple heard a low whistle, and Pet whistled in return. It was Artemus, but Pidge was not with him. He was no longer in disguise as the author, Arthur Featherstone, but instead looked like a tramp.
"Ladies," he nodded at Pet and Apple. "Sorry I'm late. We need to make sure that the president is covered from all angles. We can't let anyone get near him that could be working for Loveless. Pet, I KNOW that you have explosives. Be very careful, I implore you." Pet harrumphed at him, but nodded just the same.
"Apple, just keep your eyes open. There really isn't much else we can do with out knowing Loveless's plan. Pet, do you know anything more? Have you been in touch with anyone from Miguelito's gang?"
Pet shook her head, "No, Mr. Gordon. Sorry to say that I haven't." She doesn't look very sorry, thought Apple. What has she been up to lately? |

Kit had been seated in the bar not far from Jim and watched as the thugs took him out. She stood and walked slowly to the door she saw the cab and moved to a table by the window so she could see better. The Saloon Girl walked over to Kit's new table
"What's the matter mister you didn't like the other table."
Kit smiled and spoke in her much practiced male voice "Not at all sug' I just prfer a window seat." She tipped the girl and ordered another beer. Keeping a close eye on the cab outside it hadn't moved yet.

Arte left the women a few moments later. "What have you been doing with yourself Pet? I thought you were in tight with Loveless's gang of thugs." Apple was not in the mood for games with her partner. Apple hadn't been able to find out much, but she had at least been trying.
"Deb, you don't know nuthin', lady." Pet was angry.
"So tell me what I don't know, Pet." Apple kept her voice even, though she was boiling mad at her partner. "Better yet, just what are you keeping from me?"
Pet's head snapped up at this question, her blue eyes flashing with anger. "I have nothing to say to you, Deb, I don't have to tell you anything!" she spat at Apple, then stormed off. Apple knew there was trouble, she just didn't know what, though she had her suspicions. |

Artemus walked into the saloon and spotted the man he thought was the presidents physican Dr. Sawyer why was he here Grant was due to arrive til morning. He sat down and whispered.
"Is the President early?"
Kit thought for a breif moment about having some fun with this but she changed her mind and whispered back in her own voice."No, its me Kitana."
he sat back looked at her and shook his head then leaned back in "I am impressed but why the change?"
"At the moment Loveless thinks I am dead and I need to stay close to Jim and Grant so...." The saloon girl came back over and Kit smoothly went into her male voice "Bring my friend here a drink he has been long on the road." The girl nodded and left.
Artemus could have sworn this agent had changed in front of him she kept the voice and spoke at a normal tone."So oldtimer how long have you traveled.'
He slipped into his diguise "Many a mile sonny many a mile"
"Well enjoy your drink." she stood and he placed his hanad on her arm ahe shook her head and tossed down a couple extra bucks.
"Thanky sonny."
She tipped her hat and left the saloon keeping an eye on the handsom cab.

"Pet!" Apple ran after the other woman. "Stop running away!" She caught up to Pet, grabbed her arm, and swung her around. "Just what is it that is bugging you?"
Pet was breathing heavy, and the anger was still there. "You just need to get away from me, Apple," she said through gritted teeth. Apple was not deterred.
"Give me one good reason why I should back off, Pet Martyn!" Pet was shocked at the use of her last name. No one knew it in the service, so just how did Apple find out what it was?
"Yes, I have some information on you...so tell me what I want to know!"
