Two-Bit POV
Dally and Darry both stared at the trays with a smile on their faces .
" Come on , lets get to work." stated Dally as he grabbed both the knife and the fork and moved towards Sodapop. Darry held first Soda's right hand out for Dally to work on . Slowly Dally placed the knife in the key hole and fiddled with it .
Darry sat down next to Soda . He had Soda rest his head on his shoulder to try and keep him comfortable. After five minutes Dally was still working on the same hand . Darry stared at him with eyes of steal as he worked .
"Dally you sure you can do this?" asked Darry.
Dally looked up like he was disgusted . " If I can break outta jail with just a spoon I'm sure I can take handcuffs off your brothers hand with a knife and fork."answered Dally with a cold hearted stare .
Darry rolled his eyes slightly . He was going to comment back when Soda started to move. I wanted to jump form out the corner I was sitting in to go and make sure he was alright but I knew that it was a bad idea so I just stayed where I was and prayed that he would open his eyes . Darry made a smooth transition from sitting to his knees to look Soda straight in the face . He tapped him lightly on his cheek.
" Come on Soda . Open your eyes for me . Come on" urged Darry .
Soda tilted his head to the right . He breathed in deeply and slightly opened his eyes . Darry smiled from ear to ear . He let out a small chuckle of relief . Darry looked back at Dally who continued to work on Soda's hand , he too was smiling .
Darry grabbed him into a big hug.
"I'm just happy your awake." whispered Darry to Soda.
Soda stared at him with a blank stare. Darry waved his hand in front of his face . Soda just stared.
"Soda?"questioned Darry as he waved his hand again. " Soda, say something."
Dally looked up from the chains . He looked at Soda . Dally let go of Soda's hand and placed his hand on Soda's eyelid and lifted it . He sat back and let out a deep breath.
"It's that shot , man . Whatever they put in that has sent him to La La Land." stated Dally as he sat back and continued to work on his hand. Darry stared at Soda with worry eyes .
He sat back next to him . He looked at Dally and let our a sigh. " Is he gonna snap out of it?" asked Darry.
Dally shrugged and continued to work .
He reinserted the knife in the key hole . He grabbed onto the ledge inside and lifted up while pulling down with the fork . The handcuff clicked the collapsed off Soda's wrist . Darry smiled at Dally as he took the other and began to work on the left hand .
Darry's POV
I can't stand this place . I really can't .
As I look across the room at Two -Bit I really regret what I did. The constant dripping sound of the pipe is driving me crazy . The lack of light is making my eyes hurt . The fact that Soda won't answer me is making my head spin . Dally's getting on my last nerve because it seems like he's been working on Soda's left handcuff for hours . Two-Bit is making me nervous; he just constantly stares at me , like he's reminding me of how wrong I was to hit him like that . This whole situation was making me a mess .
My stomach is growling but I don't know if this food is safe to eat . Dally and Two-Bit must be hungry , too.
I must have been deep in thought because the sound of metal hitting the floor made me jump . I looked over towards Dally and Soda . He has gotten the handcuff off and has taken a seat next to Soda.
I slide over . I motion for Dally to come over .
" We gotta get the hell out of here ."
He nods.
" You gotta plan?" I ask.
" Nah , man . But we can figure it out. We'll get the fuck outta this place."he answered .
We both then turned out attention to Two-Bit who still sat across the room from us . Dally motioned him over . At first he was a little hesitant then he walked over . He took a seat next to Dally .
"Listen," I say. " We're gonna get out of here even if it kills us."
Dally and Two- Bit shook their heads in agreement .
"Anybody got a plan?" asked Two-Bit .
" No , I thought we should sleep on it then brainstorm in the morning ." I responded .
" Alright." they both answered .
Dally moved over to the corner and Two-Bit propped himself up against the wall .
I sat next to Soda . I placed my arms around him and let his head rest on my shoulder . My head lie on top of him . I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath . A whole wave of worry and frustration ran over me . If we didn't come up with a plan all of us would be dead by tomorrow .
Right before I finally let myself rest , I kissed Soda on the top of the head and prayed to God that everything would be okay .
