I don't own any of the SOA characters.

At the hospital people were still trying to recover from the last tremor when more casualties were brought in. The Doctors and Nurses were doing the best that they could but there just not enough beds to go around and people were lying on stretchers, some of them in the hallways as there was not enough rooms and cubicles for them all to be placed in. Even non medical members of staff were helping to treat the wounded. The hospital administrator was in the process of wrapping a bandage around an elderly lady, whose hand was badly cut when she spotted Tara and Dr Marston coming in the front entrance with their patients, Juice and Piney.

"Dr Knowles, what are you doing back here? I thought you would still be out with the triage team."

"I was but I went to help deal with wounded at Teller Morrow. We need an operating theater, this patient has a metal pole embeded in his side and damage to his heart that needs repairing."

Glancing down at Juice who was on a stretcher, Margaret blanched when she saw the metal tube sticking out of Juice's side.

"I'm sorry we don't have any available at the moment Dr Knowle."

"If this man does not get immediate surgery, he will die. Do you want that on your conscionce." Dr Marston butted in.

Looking at the one who had interrupted her, Margaret was not pleased with the tone the stranger had used.

"And you are?"

She demanded of her. Dr Marston stared back at her and pulled herself to her full height, which wasn't much she was only 5ft 4inches and of slight build. She had heard the disdainful tone in the administrators voice and was use to dealing with wannabe medical people like her.

"I am Doctor Gaynor Marston, I am a cardiologist from Boston. I was on my way to a cardiology convention in Los Angeles when I had to stop in Charming and then got stuck here because of the earthquake!...So now you know who I am, shall we find somewhere we can operate on this man and therefore save his life. Or are you just going to stand there and be more bloody incompetant than you appear to be."

On Main Street Hale was just being pulled out of the abyss that during the tremor he and the baby he had just rescued from a car had been left to swing about in. While the other rescuers had dealt with what was happening above ground, he had still been down in the hole he had felt sure that they were not going to make it. Especially when at one point it seemed that the rope must have come unattached or snapped because for a few seconds, he and the baby started to fall further into the abyss of the great big hole that had appeared when the tremors had hit the previous day but then their descent was stopped and he had breathed a big sigh of relief.

When he had been lowered into the hole to rescue the baby one of the thoughts that had gone through his head was how could anyone leave their baby in a car, he had wondered why the parent had not tried to rescue the baby. When the car had fallen from the ledge he was certain he had seen just before the whole ledge had collapsed the body of a woman, just under the front wheels.

"Give us the baby deputy."

A willing pair of hands reached down for the baby and David passed the screaming baby up into the arms of one of his rescue team. After he was hauled up by another, he looked around at the new devastation wrought by the last tremor. He saw that the post where the rope had been attached to gone, so he thought it had snapped. The rescue worker by his side saw where Hale was looking.

"We thought you were a gonner when the pole snapped and the rope whipped towards the hole deputy...but luckily for you someone was near by who managed catch the rope and hang on to it."

"Who was it?"

"Er... Bobby Munson?"

Hale heard the pause in the guys voice when he had told him who it was.

"What is it?"

The guy pointed over to where Bobby was. Hale looked and swore, the MC was not going to be happy.

"OH SHIT."

Back in the hospital Tara and Dr Marston had managed to find a room in which to operate on Juice. Piney had finally agreed to get medical attention and he was being treated by one of the nurses. Clay, Opie, Jax and Gemma were waiting in the visitors lounge while they waited for news of Juice and Piney. The other SONS had gone to see if they could help elsewhere in Charming, whether rescuing people or whatever else needed to be done. They had been waiting for over an hour when they saw Unser walking towards them down the hall.

"Clay...Can I have a word please?"

"What's up Chief?"

Clay could see that Unser was uneasy, he had just received word from Hale concerning Bobby Munson and he really wasn't looking forward to telling the club.

"Um...I got some bad news for you...its no easy to say this but its Bobby."

"What about Bobby?"

Unser looked down at his fingers and took deep breath before looking back at Clay and continuing.

"He's Dead."

A/N Bet you all thought it would be Juice or Piney that would die. Or maybe Dog.
