After leaving Jessica at the Benton Community Hospital, Gib returned to the park to write up a report. She ignored the sneer from Dan, who was working the counter, and went directly to Clint’s office.

Clint looked up as Gib tapped on his open door. “How is she?”

“Sprained ankle. She’ll be on crutches for a couple of days. Although the way she was carrying on, it may be more like a month.”

He grimaced. “We’re running out of people, Gib. Although George should be back by Wednesday.”

“That’s good.” She stepped into the office and closed the door. “I want to give you a head’s up, in case she follows through with her threat.”

“Threat?” Clint sighed. “Now what?”

Gib sat in the chair across from him. “She said she’d turn me in for sexual harassment.”

“What?”

“We were talking while we were driving around, and she kept hinting around about ‘your kind of woman’ to me. I kept asking her what she meant. She got pissed and took off across the gopher field.”

He nodded. “With you so far.”

Gib blew out a breath. “After she fell, I offered to help her. She kept screaming for me to not touch her.” She held out her hands. “I didn’t know what to do, Clint. She obviously couldn’t walk, and I didn’t want to leave her for the snakes.”

“Right.”

“So, I picked her up. Then she started screaming and hitting me, threatening to turn me in.” Her hands dropped to her lap. “What was I supposed to do?”

His chuckle surprised her. “That explains the scratch on your face. Seriously, Gib. I would have done the same thing. If she brings it to my attention, I’ll take her report. But it won’t go any further than my office. And if she goes over my head, I’ll handle it.”

“All right. Thanks, Clint. I didn’t want you getting blindsided with this.”

“If she’s got any sense, she’ll drop it completely. I’m one complaint away from having her transferred.”

Gib grinned. “From your mouth to headquarters’ ear,” she teased.
