Author's Notes: This story was written in December 2001/January 2002. In a roundabout way, it was inspired by the events of 9/11. It is dedicated to the many Police Officers, Firefighters and Paramedics who risk their lives every day to help ensure public safety. Whether working under the glare of a news camera in a national disaster, or just working down the street, they are true heroes.

Summary: The earth moved -- and not in a good way.

Warnings: angst, violence, death of original characters
