Jacob get the job done(?).

The Italian woman slowly set the tree down, and with halting, uncertain movements. Her mind racing, trying to find a way to salvage the situation, and make Jacob like her. In her inattention, her grip began to slip off the tree. Bark began peeling of the log, weakening her grip further. Soon, the log slipped completely out of her grip, and fell with a thunderous crash to the ground. It bounced once, twice, then began to roll away from the group. Both hikers jumped in fear, realizing the gravity of the situation. Jacob whipped out his radio, and spoke urgently. "This is Ranger Maddix on Green trail. I've a log rolling down hill, is there anyone else on the path? Over."

For a few tense moments, there was silence, then a response came. "Ranger Maddix, this is Ranger Doe. There's no one else. You're free to let it roll. Over." Jacob breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to the two women who were standing on the trail. His face was set in mask of cold professionalism. "You two need to come with me. Will you comply?" Both titanesses were unsure of how to react to the situation. Normally, they'd be ecstatic over a man asking them to follow him, but his tone, and what they had just done ensured that he wasn't asking them out on a date. So, they fell back on the instinctual response to give the man what he wants, and followed him meekly.

When they arrived at the ranger station, Jacob relaxed a tiny bit. Having two Titanesses loom over him was especially unnerving, given the sheer power that particular sub-strain of human. They had to strength to lift a 3 ton log with ease, and the durability to match. If they wanted to, they could have crushed him like a bug. But, having the station, a place with allies who will do everything they can to defend him, offered him instinctual relief. At the door, both women had to crouch down, and sort of waddle to the reception desk. Jacob spoke up, his voice cold, and deliberately even. "Mary, these to need to be processed for a fine. They created a deliberately unsafe situation, and interfered with my job as a park ranger. We got lucky, but someone could have easily been killed by their actions."

Hearing the report, Mary froze for a moment, as fury washed over her. She immediately understood that these women had tried to make a move on Jacob. The sheer brazenness of the act astounded her. How dare these outsiders, who have no knowledge of who Jacob really is, of what his desires, his sorrows, are try to take what they have no right to! As her eyes began to darken, Jacob coughed lightly, to try and snap Mary out of her spiral of rage. "Mary, please just focus on what actually happened." In an instant, Mary returned to her normal self, and just nodded. "Okay, I will. I'll just get their statements, and I'm sure that _they wont lie to me, because Jacob hate liars." _Jacob just nodded, and then returned back to his trail.

He quickly arrived at the site where the tree had fallen. As he looked around, he saw broken branches everywhere, and tangled in a way that could easily trip someone. Silently, he went to work shifting the branches to side of the trail. He worked slowly, as every time he tried move one branch, it caught on another. However, he worked methodically, and with two hours, the trail was clear once more. Jacob allowed himself a moment of pride, as he looked upon what he had done. Then he began walking back down the trail, cleaning up the devastation the tumbling mass of wood had left. It was a long, grueling work day, filled with the rustling of leaves and the thud of his ax splitting wood. But, at the end of it, when the sun was coming down, he had the warmth of satisfaction filling him. At the ranger station, he sat in the lobby sharpening the ax. Mary watched every movement like a hawk, worry filling her with every rasp.

"Hey Mary, what did you end up fining those two, anyways?" Mary twitched, as the question broker her focus. "Huh? Oh, those two thirsty sluts. I ended up fining them 10,000 dollars each." Jacob choked when he heard the sum. "10,000?! Mary, how the hell did you reach that number? I thought the most we could fine someone was 6,000 dollars, and that is only if we give them every single fine we can." Mary shrugged, "Well, you're not wrong. Officially, the maximum is 6,000 dollars, but there are a few unofficial fines that I gave them. General dumbassery got them a thousand, closing an entire trail got them another thousand, and endangering you specifically got them the last 2,000." Once he heard her explanation, Jacob face palmed. "Mary, how many times have I asked you to stop issuing those bullshit fines. I know that the mayor is fine with them, but they are basically bribes." Mary just laughed quietly. "Jacob, the Mayor isn't just okay with them, she's the one that told me to start implementing them. Hell, she's pissed at you for actually working and not, as I quote, 'fucking the shit out of my drenched pussy'. Dude, you basically have the mayor and city council at you beck and call. Why are you working at all?"

Jacob just sighed, and returned the now sharpened ax to the lockup. "You know what Mary, it's been a long day, and I'm gonna get drunk off my ass. You're welcome to join me, if you want." When she heard the offer, Mary almost squealed in excitement. "Hell yes I want to join you!"
