Natural Disaster – Chap 1
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the SOA only the O.C's, Dr Marston and Dog's daughter are mine.
Summary: A natural disaster hits Charming with devastating results, for not only the town but also the club. Character Death!
It was mid-morning in Charming and the mechanics at Teller Morrow were rushed off their feet. It was already a hot day and it was going to be a scorcher, there was mugginess in the air, and a sure sign of rain before the day was over. There was a backlog of work because most of the club members who were mechanics at the garage had gone a blood run with Clay the day before and the only ones who had not gone had been Piney and Juice.
In the office Gemma was sorting through the paperwork when she felt her table move, at first she thought that one of the guys had backed a vehicle into the wall of her office but she had not heard the sound of a collision or perhaps they were horsing around and playing one of their jokes on her. However when she checked her desk and went to look into the service bay outside her office, she saw nothing out of the ordinary, so she ignored whatever it was and went back to the never-ending pile of paperwork, not giving what had happened another though.
In the shop Piney and Juice were working on a car whose engine had blown on the highway the day before. It had been towed to the garage and left overnight, they too felt the same movement that Gemma had but like her they ignored it.
In Charming PD, Hale and Unser were discussing policing matters when they felt a tremor go through the building and the both presumed that some big vehicle had passed by, looking out of the window to check they could see nothing and merely went back to their discussion.
Elsewhere in Charming, people were going about their daily business, parents took their kids to school, did the shopping, chatted with friends up and down Main street. Already Floyd had a queue of customers going out the door waiting for their hair to be done.
Everything was normal but it was not going to stay that way.
Just before midday a series of tremors hits the San Joaquin Valley, aftershocks of an earthquake that hit Los Angeles two hours before!
Aftershocks that were to bring death and destruction to the good people in the town of Charming.
A/N: I noticed after I did the last revamp that there were still a lot of mistakes in this story so I am revamping it again. As always Please R and R, as they are always appreciated reviews.
