Yay! We are back! Today's chapter is brought to you by Sarry22, all credit goes to her. She's written this one and she will write chapter 4 and 6 and however many more we decide to do.

She's done a fantastic job so please review and share your thoughts so far.

Um, Maggie, I do watch those movies occasionally, I haven't seen San Andreas since it first came out and I thought it was really cliche and unrealistic, like you said "cheesy". I think we may try and avoid cheese, but who knows. As long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

Okay, without any further ado, I present Sarry22's chapter!...


Morgan got his phone out and turned the small flashlight on. He inhaled deeply as he saw the extent of the destruction. Parts of the ceiling and the floor was gone. Panic rose inside of him when he saw how close to Reid the floor started to break down.

"Hotch we have to get Reid away from there! The floor is breaking down. I don't think it will last much longer!" Morgan half yelled with full panic in his voice.

"JJ! Garcia! Help Prentiss to get free and carefully go back to the bull pen!" Hotch ordered and they all sprang into action.

"Rossi help me to get Reid out. Morgan you try to wake up Reid and inform us when something changes!" Hotch said in a stern voice.

"I will help you!" Morgan replied.

"Morgan your shoulder is hurt and this is the best way to help us!" Hotch said a bit louder this time and Morgan nodded as he understood his point.


J.J and Garcia knelt on both sides of Prentiss and looked at the piece of ceiling that was covering her right leg. "We will try to remove it on three okay? Emily when we lift it up pull your leg out as fast as possibly okay? I dont want to risk the floor breaking behind us when we just throw it away." J.J said with concern in her voice.

"One!" JJ said as she watched Emily closely as she gathered all her strength for the upcoming escape plan.

"Two!" Adrenaline started to kick in as she got a good grip on the piece of ceiling.

"Three! NOW!" J.J and Garcia gathered all their strength together as they lifted the piece as high as possible so Emily could get out. Seconds later Emily carefully rolled back and her leg was free. "I'm out!" She screamed with relief. Garcia and J.J. lay the piece on the floor again as careful as possible so as not to cause more damage.


"Sp-!" Reid heard a voice far away but couldn't focus enough.

"Spenc-!" Someone was calling for him? Morgan?

"Spencer wake up!" Reid shook awake at the demanding voice, forcing his glued shut eyes open.

Everything around him spun in a nauseating circle as he tried to gather his bearings and make sense of the voices around him. Reid ignored the ringing in his ears and the fact that every breath that he took felt like a knife stabbing him in the chest.

"Okay I think he is waking up." A voice that sounded like under water spoke and he closed his eyes, as he felt his stomach turn.

"No! Hey, hey no sleeping for you Pretty boy!" The sound returned again and he pried his eyes open.

J.J couldn't help but listen to Morgan's attempts to wake Reid up. Hotch and Rossi carefully started to remove the fallen pieces from the ceiling and the glass door from the staircase from their friend.

"J.J you heard Hotch! We should go back to the bull pen! We cant help much over there without the floor breaking down." Garcia half yelled at her. Morgan turned around and gave her an agreeing nod. "We will take care of him! Go and look after Prentiss!" Morgan told her.

J.J made her way back to Emily and Garcia.

"Are you okay Emily?" J.J asked with concern in her voice.

"Yeah dont worry about me it could have been much worse. Lets do what Hotch told us to do." Emily said as she carefully got up and tried to not put too much weight on her right leg. Garcia and J.J were by her side in a blink of an eye and helped her to make her way to the bull pen.

Garcia took the handle of the glass door in her hand and pulled it open so J.J and Emily could get through. Suddenly there was another lightning bolt shone through the windows. A second later thunder ripped through the air and made everything shake.

The next thing that was heard was a cracking sound and the glass door was shattering into a million pieces. Garcia screamed out in surprise and covered her face as the glass pieces fell.

All Morgan heard was glass shattering his Baby girls scream and then loud noises as pieces from the ceiling were crashing down!

"Garcia!" Morgan screamed, concerned. He listened carefully, but could only hear grunts, but then a weak whisper reached his ears and he looked down to his young friend.

"Derek. Go help them." Reid said in a very weak whisper. "Keep them safe. Go!" Reid looked up at him and Morgan noticed how Reid struggled to keep his eyes open.

"He is right Morgan go!" Hotch said sternly as Morgan was already getting on his feet.

"I will be back in a few dont worry Pretty boy okay?" Morgan said to calm Reid.

"Wont go anywhere." Reid said with a weak smile as Morgan ran towards the bull pen.

"Baby girl? JJ? Prentiss?" He screamed as he got closer to the mess that once was the ceiling above them.

"Morgan we are here! We are trapped under a lamp or something. Emily and I are not hurt but Garcia has a small gash on her forehead!" JJ yelled back at Morgan as he made his way over to his friends. First thing he saw as he reached the trio was Garcia who apparently wasnt trapped. Morgan fell to his knees beside her and carefully took her face in his hands. The gash was not deep at all so he wasnt surprised when the contact was all it took to wake her up

"Thats it baby girl open those beautiful eyes for me." He said with a small grin on his face as he saw Garcia opening her eyes slowly.

"Morgan? What happened?" She asked as confusion was written all over her face.

"Well the ceiling broke down and a lamp must have hit you. You okay?" Morgan asked her as she was focused again.

"Yes just a bit confused but no dizziness or pain. I guess that's good." She said while watching her surroundings.

"Thank god. Now lets get you two ladies out of your misery and then lets get you in the bull pen. Baby girl can you by any chance help me?" He asked looking at Garcia with still a bit of worry in his look.

"Of course my chocolate thunder. Lets do this." Garcia said as she was moving closer to the lamp.

"You ready? On three okay? One! Two! Three!" Morgan yelled as he began to lift the lamp off of J.J and Prentiss. As quickly as possible they moved away and freed themselves.

"Thank you." They said, breathing heavily.

"Now lets keep going!" Morgan said as he pulled the girls up with his good arm.


Hotch and Rossi still worked to get Reid free from all the broken fragments of the ceiling.

"Kid you still with us?" Rossi asked midway.

"Yeah." Reid answered clearly struggling to stay awake.

Rossi was about to answer when the ground next to him was beginning to crack. Not good.

"Hotch the floor!" He whispered not to alarm Reid. Hotch just pointed upwards and as Rossi followed the direction he saw that the same was happening with the ceiling. Definitely not good.

"Reid this will hurt but we have to pull you out now" Hotch said as he and Rossi positioned themselves behind Reid each one had a firm hand around Reids Hand ready to pull.

As they were about to start the floor before them gave in. Reid let out an ear piercing scream of scream as he was sliding down.

"Reid hold on!" Hotch yelled as they were trying to pull him up without causing more pain.

"Let go! You will fall too! Let go of me!" Reid yelled with the last strength he seemed to have in him.

"Not happening Pretty boy!" Morgan yelled down as he as well pulled Reid up with his good arm.

They all gathered their strength together to pull him up as he was already hanging halfway down.

A few seconds later Reid was on safe ground as Hotch, Rossi and Morgan carried him to the bull pen. Behind them pieces of the ceiling were already crashing down. Reid felt a wave of tiredness hit him hard and he closed his eyes try to shut out the pain that was burning through his whole body.

He was laid down gently on the ground and a blanket was thrown over him and one under his head. "Thank you for saving me." Reid said with a small smile as he began to drift away.

"Reid!" He heard Morgan yell.

"Spence!" J.J panicked.

"Reid stay awake that's an order!" He could hear Hotchs voice from far away. At least that's how it sounded to Spencer.

He lost the fight to stay awake and slipped into unconsciousness.
