The air was thick with dust and debris, from where he lay Piney looked around as best he could to see if there was anyone else trapped in the rubble with him. When he had fallen, he had partlly landed underneath the car that he and Juice had been working on and had only just managed to roll out of the way when the jack that had been holding it up collapsed. From where he lay, he could see very little, the roof had collapsed and if it had not been for a thick metal pole that had landed on the side of the car he would have been crushed. He glanced over to the side of him and ws able to make out a hand sticking out of the rubble, he grabbed the hand as if to try and pull whoever it was out from underneath the rubble but was unable to so. Instead he removed some of the debris, as much as he could in the confined space he was in and found an unconscious Juice underneath. He managed to move enough to one side to uncover Juice's head, shoulders and one of his arms and reaching down he checked on Juice's pulse which he found to be weak and erratic but he breathed a sigh of relief that Juice was alive.

After he had helped Gemma up and had made sure that she was alright, Happy then went and checked on the other two riders who had ridden in with him. Lorca had gone to see if there was anything that could be done for thier friend who had lost control of his bike when the tremors had hit and then fallen into the ravine that suddenly opened up in front of the riders in the middle of the Teller Morrow lot. When he saw Happy, he merely shook his head, he had managed to climb down to the other rider but could see as he had been climbing down that the other rider, his neck at an unnatral angle was already dead.

"HAPPY...LORCA."

Both men turned to Gemma as she approached them, there could be no sitting and looking at the damage, they had people who needed medical attention and most likely people trapped in both the garage and clubhouse. Gemma could see some damage had been done to the clubhouse but it looked as though it had fared far better than the garage it at least was still standing. She was still shaken by what had happened but she was the presidents old lady and therefore it was up to her to get everyone moving.

"We need to do a head count Happy and see what injuries there are." She could see some of the mechanics miling about in the lot but she could see neither Piney or Juice.

"We might still have guys trapped in the garage."

"Which ones Gemma?" Happy asked as he counted heads of the people who were there

"Piney and Juice for starters." Gemma told him.

Tacoma Clubhouse

Jax and Opie were both enjoying an ice cold beer with the others following the meeting at the bar in the Tacoma clubhouse and were both of them looking forward to returning to Charming and thier famillies. They both missed thier old ladies and children and wanted nothing more than to be home with them, the door to the clubhouse flew open and the daughter of one of the Tacoma members came running in, she spotted her dad drinking with them and rushed over to him.

"DAD...DAD."

"Whoa...keep it down kid. Where's the fire?"

"There's been an earthquake in California dad, it hit L.A. about three hours agao."

All talking in the room ended when they heard her say the words, 'Earthquake and California."

"Any where else affected apart from L.A. kid?"

The kid turned to the one who had spoken behind her and saw that it was the SAA for the visiting charter.

"Yeah, the guy on the news report said that a number of other places around L.A. had been hit by aftershocks...Lodi and Stockton."

"Get Clay." Jax ordered Tig and waited as the SAA went in search of his stepfather. Opie meanwhile had pulled out his phone and was trying to phone TM but after a number of rings he gave up and tried Juice's prepay.

Piney had tried to see of there was any way out of the rubble but he could from the small area that he and Juice were trapped in that it was unlikely that they would be able to dig thier way out without help. He could not see how much damage had been done to the building and was afraid that they would bring everything down on themselves if they tried to remove any of the debris. He heard a groaning noise and realised that Juice had come round.

"You alright Juice?" he reached out and placed a hand on Juice's shoulder.

Juice had reached up with his free hand and was holding his forehead, he looked to be in a great deal of pain.

"My head hurts...feels like it is splitting. What the hell happened?" he groaned.

"Not sure kid...felt the ground moving...building too. Then the roof caved in...must have been an earthquake or something."

"Anyone else here?" Juice asked, he could feel himself slipping back into the darkness that threatend to overtake his senses. Piney saw his eye closing and grabbed Juice's shoulder shaking it roughly.

"Oy, keep your eyes open."

"Can't..." Juice slurred starting to close his eyes again but Piney gripped his shoulder even harder and shook it again. Juice winced and hissed at the pain that Piney's action had produced in his shoulder but he managed to keep his eyes open. Somewhere in the rubble he could hear a mobile ringing and he realised that it was his, he managed to find it by digging about in the rubble and flipped it open.

"Hello."

At the Tacoma clubhouse Opie had been about to snap his phone shut when he heard a faint 'hello' on the speaker.

"JUICE...is that you?"

At Opie's shout the others crowded around him and he put the phone onto loud speaker so they could all listen in.

"Juice are you all okay in Charming, we heard that there has been an earthquake in L.A."

There was no sound from the phone and for a moment it was thought that they had lost the signal, with Tig asking as much. Opie checked his phone and said "No." they still had a signal.

All of a sudden they heard Piney in the background shouting at Juice. "Juice open your eyes...goddamn it...open your eyes."

"Dad...What's going on?"

When Piney had noticed Juice's eyes beginning to shut again he had gripped the younger mans shoulder even harder and he thought for a moment that Juice was not going to respond but gradually Juice opened his eyes but they were unfocused. He noticed Juice's open prepay in his hand as he heard someone say, "Dad...What's going on?"

"Opie is that you?" he asked as he snatched up the phone.

Opie breathed a sigh of relief as he heard his fathers voice.

"Yeah Dad...What's going on?"

"Towns been hit by an earthquake...we've taken a fair bit of damage...I think."

"What do you mean you think?" He heard Jax ask.

"The roof has caved in at the garage, Juice and I are trapped in here till someone can dig us out."

"Are you hurt Dad?"

"I'm a bit shook up, probaly got a few bruises but it Juice I'm concerned about. He took a blow to the head and has been drifting in and out of consciousness. His pulse is erratic as well and as far as I can tell those are his only injuries but he is pinned under a load of debris."

"Piney...it's Chibs...You have to try and keep Juice consciouse...don't let him close his eyes."

"That's what I have been trying to do." Piney snapped.

All of a sudden, Juice's prepay cut out.

Outside the garage Happy stared at the rubble that had once been the garage and hoped and prayed that Juice and Piney were okay. He could see that there was no way that only he and Lorca would be able to dig them out, they would need more bodies for that. They had taken a head count and had found that besides Juice and Piney, Dog one of the older mechanics was missing as well.

Those who had been out in the open when the quake hit were mostly fine there had been a few minor injuries but they would live and the only fatality had been the rider who had ridden with him and Lorca.
