A/N Warning mild swear words in this chapter.

It was already late in the night in Charming when the SONS who had gone on the 'run' to Tacoma returned to view for themselves, the devastation wrought by the tremors. They had ridden non stop in their urgent need to get home to Charming and a number of them were more than ready to alight from their bikes when they finally pulled into what was left of the Teller Morrow lot. The sight that greeted them when they had arrived back in Charming was devastating in itself, the sight of the garage though as little more than rubble caused more than a few of them to gasp.

Gemma was still at the lot having refused to go home and rest when Happy had told her there was no more that she could do there, she would only make herself ill and then Clay would be angry. He and Lorca had carried on trying to rescue those that were trapped in the rubble and had dug Dog out just an hour before much to both his and his daughters relief. He had a broken leg and a few of his ribs were cracked but aside from that and a few cuts and bruises he seemed fine and was on his way to the hospital in Unser's patrol car.

As soon as Clay spotted Gemma, he was at her side and hugging her for all he was worth, he was just so pleased to see his wife was unharmed. 'Mind you,' he thought 'pity the same thing can't be said about the garage'. He stared in dismay at the remains of his beloved garage. He saw Jax approach and released Gemma so that Jax could hug her, after giving his mother a quick hug he went and wrapped his arms around Tara.

After they had learned about the extent of the devastation in Charming some of the SONS had gone to see what help they could give to the rescue teams while others stayed to help those already there trying to get to tose trapped inside. It was hard going as they had to be careful not to dislodge anything that might bring the rest of the building down on themselves and it took them some time before they were able to get to the area of the building where they thought Juice and Piney might be.

Piney had just finished telling Juice about the time when Jax and Tara when they were teenagers, had been almost caught having sex in someone elses bed, Clay and Gemma's when he heard a noise. It sounded like the noise rat made when they were digging and he hoped that it was'nt rats but someone digging through to them at last. He didn't know about Juice but he was certainly more than ready to leave. As he heard the noise again, he noticed some of the debris shift and a hand pushed through behind the falling rubble.

"Piney...Juice?"

He heard a voice follow the hand and then the speakers head appeared at the small opening. Piney had never been so glad to see anyone in his entire life as he was at that moment to see Lorca. He reached through the hole to grip Lorca's hand and from the other side of the hole Lorca gripped his hand back firmly and passed word back that they had found them. From somewhere outside they could hear a muffled cheer as the news spread that they had been found.

"How are you to doing man?"

Piney glanced over at Juice who was still consciouse before he answered Lorca.

"Better for seeing you."

"Good, we need to make this opening bigger and more stable before we can get you two out, you hang in there, we'll have you out as soon as we can."

While it took time for Lorca and the rest of them who were working on getting Juice and Piney out, Piney just continued with the present conversation that he had been having with Juice.

"So what happened when Jax and Tara was almost caught having sex in Clay and Gemma's bed." Juice had asked him.

"Well before the door had opened... they had both managed to get out of bed and remake it quickly but had been unable to get out of the bedroom before the door had opened...so they did the only thing they could do..."

"And that was?"

"They hid under the bed." Piney laughed.

He had remembered overhearing Jax tell Opie the story a few days after it had happened and at the time it had made him laugh.

"What happened next?"

"Well, they thought they would be able to leave as soon as Gemma left but at that moment Clay entered the room and before they knew it... he and Gemma were making out on the bed above them."

Juice started to laugh at what Piney said but he started coughing instead as pain shot through his chest and side.

"You okay Kid?"

Piney asked with concern as he reached out to Juice. After a few seconds the coughing stopped but Juice still seemed to be in pain. Piney then noticed with alarm a small trickle of blood coming out of the corner of Juice's mouth. He was panting after the coughing had ended and seemed to be sweating an awful lot.

"Hang in there Juice... the guys have almost got us out...not long now. You hear me...you hang in there."

Piney hoped and prayed that Juice could hold on till the guys could get them out.
