Fight in Kharkov

One of the senior couples had just arrived in Kharkov and two missionaries took them to the Renok to buy a vacuum. They had just purchased the vacuum and some one came by and stole it. The thieves got away. The missionaries were trying to think how they could exchange some more money to get another vacuum and they decided to take a chance with a local group of money changers. They gave them the money and the money changers played the game with them that the police had seen them doing something illegal and for them to run. The missionaries on the other hand decided to stand their ground and fight. Bad decision. The senior companion was getting hit and was on the ground when the junior companion decided to get into the action. He started towards the group and then he felt himself being lifted and thrown into the air. The senior companion had to have some dental work done and the junior companion was a little humbled by the action. The senior couple was rather frightened about the whole ordeal and wondered what they had gotten themselves into. I’m sure I showed the right amount of sympathy as they told me about the incident in the National Hotel or did I?
