It's been almost an entire year since the incident in Windrixville, Johnny has nearly regained all mobility and Dallas is his usual badass self. Life was good, with the exception of the soc's being more restless than ever. Let's just say that it didn't sit too well with them that Johnny and Dal survived when their buddy bob didn't. The sound of slamming car doors pulled me from my thoughts as five soc's exited their cars and starting staggering towards me. "Hey lookie here, we got ourselves the grease who helped kill bob," The soc closest to me slurred.
Damn it why didn't I listen to Darry and just sit with Two-Bit all day watching Mickey on TV, I thought miserably. Ever since I got back Darry has been insisting that I either stay home or take a member of the gang with me if I decide to go out. Darry had made it clear to all of the gang that if he heard they let me out of their sight, he would skin them! Of course two-bit had been so drunk the night before that he was still passed out on the couch this morning when Darry and soda headed off to work, so I figured that id go to the movies and be back before ol' two-bit woke up. Apparently id thought wrong as I was now trapped between the movie house and the five soc's that were getting closer every second. This left me with two choices, try to fight and hope that someone comes to help me, or run like hell.
Without any further thought, I charged at the open spot between the two soc's on my left. I just barely make it past them as they lunge at me and end up landing right on the spot where I'd been standing just seconds ago. I run down the street, the soc's behind me all the way, and head down an unfamiliar dark alley. Unfortunately for me, I reached the end and found my path blocked by a fence to tall for me to climb. I whirl around and get into the fighting stance my brothers taught me, knees bent a little and fists up. To my shock all five soc's stopped and stared in horror. "Shit, t-that's!" the first soc stuttered, backing away quickly.
"Let's get the hell out of here!" the guy who I figured must be the leader of the group yelled, already sprinting down the alley. As I watched the socs disappear into the darkness of the alley I heard a low chuckle from behind me, I spun around ready to fight if need be.
"Easy kid I wouldn't have just saved your ass if I was just guna kill ya." he said lazily. I relaxed a little and observed my savior; he was sitting on the tall fence which he most likely climbed when I was distracted by the soc's. He was easily as tall as Darry and rivaled him in muscle, but had Dally's tough dark hair and eyes. he smirked at me as I stared at him with wide eyes, my mouth open a little in awe as he easily jumped off the large fence that even dally refused to jump off of due to its height.
I quickly snapped my mouth shut as he sauntered over to me and stuck out his hand, "The names Grant, Grant Bryant." He said as we shook hands.
