<div align="center"> The ice cream shop</div><br/>Kyle recognizes the attack for what it is and knows the intended result. He quite easily avoids the elbow shot by ducking slightly and twisting so the only harm is the sound of the big man’s arm rushing past his ear. The kick however is not expected and manages to land squarely on his chest, throwing him off balance.<br/><br/>Remaining on the floor Kyle fights an internal struggle. His logical brain is saying that violence will only lead to more violence. While the emotional side and the combat reflexes want nothing more than to stomp the shit out of this asshole. During this struggle Ms. Black suddenly drops her gun and runs out to her Jeep.<br/><br/>Kyle picks up the dropped pistol as he slowly stands back up. He is quite assumed to see the big man put to sleep. Seeing the lady in purple reaching for the revolver, he says calmly but with some authority, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. It’s designed to blow a hole in somebody big enough to put your arm through. Not knowing how to handle it you could inadvertently cause it to go off. If you really must know, I can show and teach you in a safer setting when this situation is resolved.”<br/><br/>Seeing Ms. Black’s return, Kyle smiles at her while extending his arm with her weapon to her saying, “Amanda, I thought the CIA trained their people better. You must really be flustered. You dropped this. Isn’t that almost like a Jedi loosing his lightsaber?”<br/><br/>Turning to the archmage still smiling, Kyle says, “I’m glad you were able to handle this so easily, thank you. If we had fought, the place would have been destroyed, others may have been hurt, as well as both of us hurt pretty badly.” Turning to include the lady he adds, “By the way I’m Kyle Flanagin and I guess you have already met my other new friend Tiagar.”<br/><br/>Tiagar smiles and nods at them.<br/>
