The first aftershock had passed, but Terry was still shaking. One of his workers hadn't been holding onto a railing when it happened and he fell, ending up at the bottom of a landing with his head resting at a strange angle. Patty approached the fallen man cautiously and pressed her fingers to his neck; she took in a sharp, hissing breath before looking up at Terry and shaking her head. That set off a round of gagging and retching from some of the others standing around.

"Enough!" Terry shouted. He got the attention of his workers, and took a deep breath before continuing. "There are going to be more aftershocks, so everyone needs to keep a hand on a rail, or sit down so you don't fall down."

The men and women on the stairwell shuffled around a bit, but eventually most were seated, and those who weren't had a firm grip on one of the railings.

"Has anyone gotten through to Emergency Services?" Terry asked. Many of the workers shook their heads, but one woman put up a hand.

"Celeste? You got through?"

Celeste shook her head. "No, I didn't, but I've got FM on my music player and there was an emergency broadcast. The governor is mobilizing the National Guard."

"That's a help," Blake said, nodding.

"But not for us," Terry growled. "We've got injured people and we can't get out...." He stopped as the small two-way radio at his belt crackled to life. He picked it up. "Nicks here."

The voice on the other end was faint, and pain-filled. "Jim... it's Jim... trailer... help me..."

"Jim? Are you okay? Jim?" He looked at Blake. "He's not responding."

"I think it's time we called someone else, Terry." Blake put out his hand.

Terry handed over the radio. "What are you going to do?"

Blake popped open the back of the walkie-talkie. "I know a way to give the signal a little more oomph. Then I'm going to call International Rescue."
