Dana started to correct Alice but was silenced by a hand over her mouth "It was just the fire department, and they went about their business. So my trusty partner and I," patting Dana on the back "proceed to see this cat, well more like panther, up this tree about eighty feet up and over a ROCK CLIFF, this is not the typical rock cliff though…..ohhh no! That would be to easy, this one is straight down with jagged pipes and barbed wire ready to rip you to shreds and hang you by your intestines."

"And what happened next?" The chief asked, back turned away from the pair

Dana butted in to answer the question "Well I put the attic ladder up and Al called to the cat."

The blond stopped spinning the chair and corrected Dana "Panther." and began spinning again "Oh, and guess what, it didn’t move. SHOCKER!"

"The owners tried to poke it with a stick and that didn’t work either." Dana added shrugging her shoulders

The chief leaned further back into the chair "And the point is? Did you get the cat down or what?"

"We had to get this cat down or these people were never going to let us live it down so we did the only logical and half way safe thing we could…..we cut the branch out from under the cat." The brunette answered in a whisper

"OH YEAH! We sooo cut that branch."

The chief spun around in the chair to face the two stunned women "You did what?!"

Dana quickly diffused the situation before any panic set in "No worries we had a rope tied to it so we could pull the branch towards the yard and away from the frickin’ cliff of death."

"But the cat decided to finally jump down about 5 feet from the ground and run up my pants. Scratching and attacking! I’m telling you that was NOT a cat."

Dana rolled her eyes "Alice, it’s not like it hurt you. Look at what you had on." pointing towards the mud stained fire pants and leather boots

The chief let out a healthy chuckle "A panther huh?"

"It had huge claws and was growling with it’s ears all pinned back. If it was a cat, that had to have been the alpha of cats. It was like this big around." Alice said making a circle to show the size with her arms

"It was a big cat, it probably weighed every bit of twenty-five pounds." Dana reassured

The chief had enough and burst into laughter "I knew you two were the official pussy patrol of the county."

Alice and Dana wiped the shocked expressions from their faces " Fuck you Shane."
