The two women together are a force to be reckoned with, both strong, independent and no shit taking.  Occasionally when at the town pub Buckeye’s, enjoying a drink and shooting pool, both dressed casually, they will encounter a drunken cowboy who works at one of the local ranches or farms talking smack, the ladies will act like they are holding back until the asshole gets in their face or lays a hand on either one of them, which is usually in the parking lot, then Sapphira takes him down to the ground in two point two seconds, hands behind his back with her knee between his shoulder blades. With Lacey growling nearby, Kamara leans down, gently stroking the side of his face, saying “Ah, sorry honey, did that hurt?  You must be new to town or stupid.  You see, my girl here is the Sheriff and a combat veteran, little ole me is just as armed and dangerous,” changing her voice to a rougher tone, pointing her finger at him with the warning, “Now, don’t fuck with us Babes, next time your ass will go to jail”. They leave him there flabbergasted, holding their laughter until they get into their vehicle. Ah, great times with friends.
