San Francisco Bay 1870
San Francisco Historical Society
Three men sat around a small table. Each one had a drink set before him. They remained silent while the people around them rose from their chairs and left the small saloon, located on the seedier side of the San Francisco wharf, then one spoke.
“We are here to discuss the plans of our upcoming project. We are going to take down the Secret Service, and most importantly of all, the team of James West and Artemus Gordon. Then we will eliminate President Ulysses S. Grant.”
Seated around the table, Jacob Colby, Thomas Blankenship, and Alton Fredericks looked at each other. Colby spoke again. “We all agree on our hatred for both James West and Artemus Gordon and Ulysses S. Grant. Am I correct?”
The other two men nodded.
“We have agreed on the plan and how it is to be carried out?”
“Yes.”
“Then let us begin. Thomas and Alton, you two will go directly to West’s train and attempt to ambush him there. If you can’t, do whatever you have to do to kill him. Is that clear?”
“Yes.”
“Then get started.” Jacob Colby finished his drink, as did the other men. Once they were finished, they rose and left the saloon.
