Hearing those words cleared Artaqifa’s head; she jumped to her feet and pounced at the mother. Clasping both hands around the neck she started to squeeze the life from her while shouting, “what do you know about anything, you useless pathetic male dominated pig!” Kyson was shocked at what he was seeing, but he bravely stepped forward and said, “Come now Artaqifa, we’re supposed to be friends here.” Artaqifa released the mother and turned on Kyson, took two steps forward, “if we’re supposed to be friends,” she hissed, “then these stupid women need that lesson not me!” Kyson smiled, rubbed his right hand through his hair and said, “I’ve never known you to be wrong Artaqifa, but strangling them won’t help them learn the lesson.” Artaqifa’s smile returned as she stepped closer to Kyson, “your right.” She put both arms around his shoulders and whispered in his ear “sorry for my outburst earlier.” Kyson whispered back, “I know.” This put a spring back into Kyson’s step. He released Artaqifa and said, “Listen up. It’s been a hard night and it’s not going to get any easier. It would be for the best if we focus our attention on the wounded in the city.”
