Soda's POV

We were all freaking out. Especially Mya. She was pacing the living room with the note in her hands.

"Mya relax." I said taking her hands in mine. "The person who kidnapped Steve knows you. Any idea who it could be?"

She thought for a minute. "Well I am an ex-Soc."

"How about tomorrow we call up a meeting with Randy and ask him." Darry said.

"Sure." Two-bit said. He was lying on the sofa with a bandage on his ribs.

"We shouldn't send to many people." Mya said. "I'll go for sure and maybe 2 more of you."

"I'll go." I said quickly. Dally smirked at me knowingly. I felt my face get hot.

"I'll go too." Dally said.

"Alright. I think just to be safe we should all stay here tonight." Darry said. "Everyone find a place to crash. Goodnight."

At the meeting

"What do you want Greaser?" Randy said. He was pissed off. "I ain't talking to y'all unless you put your weapons on the ground."

We were at the vacant lot. Randy was standing across from us with 2 other Socs.

"Fine." Dally said. "But only if you do the same."

We dropped our weapons into a pile between us. 6 blades.

"Did one of the Socs kidnap a member of our gang, specifically Steve Randal?" Mya asked.

"That's what we were gonna ask you." Randy said. "Mike went missing last night after a movie at the Nightly Double. And what would we do with a Greaser anyways?

"Oh I don't know. Torture him, cut him, kill him?" Dally said. I elbowed him.

"But if you didn't kidnap Mike and if we didn't kidnap Steve, who took them?" One of the other Socs said.

"Could it be another gang?" Mya said nervously.

"Maybe." I said. "I can't believe I'm saying this but I think right now Socs and Greasers need to join forces."

"WHAT?!" 5 voices yelled.

"I don't mean like be together. I just mean we need to temporarily call a truce until we can figure out who the kidnapper is. Then once we figure this all out we can go back to how it was before." I said.

"Yeah." The other Soc said. "We have to do whatever it takes to figure this out."

"So is it a deal?" Mya asked.

"Deal." Randy said and they shook hands.

9:39 PM

Mya's POV

Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally went to a movie at the Nightly Double. We didn't want them to go but the promised they would stay together and they would each carry a blade with them. Darry said they had to be back by back by 9:45 or he would skin them. I was nervous. I couldn't help it. Knowing the reason why Steve was missing was because of me was making me super guilty. Soda had tried to calm me down but it didn't help. All I could do was sit on the sofa and watch the clock.

9:46. I hope they would be here any minute. . . .

9:49. I was starting to panic. . . .

9:53. The phone rang. I ran to the phone before Darry could.

"Hello?!" I asked desperately.

"Mya." It was Johnny. "Thank god. Look we have a problem. Ponyboy and Dally went to the bathroom and didn't come back after 10 minutes. So I went into the restroom and saw Dally almost unconscious and Ponyboy cut up. I need you to get here now."

"WHAT?!" I yelled. "Is Dally awake?"

"Yeah."

"Can he drive?" I asked.

"Yeah." Johnny said. "He's a little bloody but its Ponyboy I'm worried about."

"I'm on my way!" I said and hung up.

The rest of the gang looked at me.

"Johnny just called. Ponyboy got attacked. I'm going to go get him." I said.

"I'll come too." Soda said.

"Lets go."

We got on my motorcycle and drove towards the Nightly Double. Johnny had Ponyboy propped up against the fence. His stomach was bloody. Dally sat next to them. He had a cut on his forehead and was bruised up. Soda wrapped his arm around Ponyboy's shoulders and looked at the cut.

"That's gonna need stitches." I said. "I can sew."

"Let's get the home. I'll drive the car. Johnny, go with Mya and I'll take them." Soda said and tossed Johnny his helmet. He got on the bike behind me and we drove off with the car behind us.

Soda and I laid Ponyboy on the sofa. The gang ran over but Darry pulled them back. Dally sat on the sofa next to him. Darry handed me the first aid kit and the sewing kit and I started to fix Pony up. He groaned in pain and Soda ran his fingers through Pony's hair to calm him down.

"A-are you a-almost done?" Ponyboy stuttered.

"Yeah relax I am almost done. I'm sorry." I replied. I finished sewing the cut and bandaged it. Then I went to Dally and bandaged the cut on his forehead and gave him an icepack. "Alright tell us what happened."

"Pony and I went to the bathroom. I waited outside while he was in there." Dally said. "He didn't come back for 10 minutes, so I went inside and I saw 4 guys with a knife and they were attacking Pony so I ran in and tried to help. They left but I was almost unconscious. Then Johnny came in."

"Did they say anything before they left?" Darry asked.

"They said, 'Watch it.'" Ponyboy said.

"This is crazy." Soda said and punched the wall. "They attacked my innocent 13 year old kid brother!"

"I'm 14!" Ponyboy said then yelped. I ran over to him and checked the cut.

"Don't move so much Pony." I said. "You'll tear the stitches." I handed him some pain killers and a glass of water. He drank them quickly. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Soda picked him up gently and carried him to his and Pony's room and laid him on the bed.

"Mya, can we go outside please?" Soda asked. I nodded and he opened the door for me.

"What's up?"

"Remember how I asked you if you wanted to hang out?" Soda asked. I nodded again. "Well the problem is that I know Darry won't let us or anyone else go out cause of what's been happening. So I wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out with me on the roof tonight? Well that's only if you want to-"

"I'd love to." I said with a smile.

"I'll come to the living room around 11:00, be ready by then." He said and grinned.

"Sure." I said and gave him a hug. He seemed a bit flustered when I did. I pulled away and blushed. He did to. The door came flying open. Johnny fell out and on to the patio.

"S-sorry, Ponyboy asked me too." He said.

"Just make sure no one else finds out." I said.

He nodded and went back inside to report to Ponyboy.

"I'll see you later." I said and walked inside.

Review please. Next chapter will involve the date and some other stuff. :)
