Yes, yes, what goes up must come down, but, how far down is what he wanted to know.  The hard-won peace was again shattered.  Was this woman to lose her fifth and last child because she had lived by two blocks on the wrong side of the divide?  He radioed the Charge d'Affaires for permission to intervene.  He would take her home, even though she had by then been broken into a person he could never reach.  There was little to do than to serve her.  She'd find her way in her own time.  She'd find where to surface, what of life there was for her.  She still would have her one child.  It would do her good to have a safe haven where the eye doesn't ever catch brutality…and that's when the Charge d'Affaires cut him off and directed him to stop with his madness and report back, forthwith, to the Capital.
