Steve POV
I looked at Soda over the top of my cards and smiled. He grinned at me.
"On the count of three?"
"One."
"Two."
"Three." We laid out cards down on three and grinned at each other. His grin faded when he looked at my cards.
"YOU CHEATED!"
"Did not."
"Did too." I extended my hand; Soda grasped it and pushed. We always settled this with arm wrestling matches. The door behind me slammed open and Soda's eyes grew. We stopped and I turned to the door. There, in a blue madras and white dress pants was a Soc, hiding behind sun glasses. Dally was behind him, smiling like the Chessy cat.
"Any of you want to go on a hunt?" Dally asked us. I was staring at the Soc, anger building up in the pit of my gut. I stood up so fast my chair toppled over.
"What are you doing with that damn Soc?" I asked Dallas all shrilly. The Soc kept his mouth shut, as did Dally. I couldn't take it. Grasping onto the Soc's madras, I glared at him through his sun glasses. "Answer me!" His lips curled into a smile. "Fuck you, you damn Soc..." I grabbed his glasses and took them off. I froze at the face staring at me.
"Hey, Steve." Two-Bit said. I glared at him.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Dally told me he would. But he DIDN'T!" Two-Bit smacked Dally on 'didn't'. Soda was laughing hard behind me.
"Two-Bit! You really look like a Soc!" he was saying. Darry walked out of the kitchen and looked at us. He just stared at Two-Bit.
"What's with the Soc?" he asked Dally. Two-Bit laughed this time.
"Darry, it's me, Two-Bit!" Darry grinned.
"Well, I'll be... First Kendra, now a Soc?"
"I'm goin' to look for Kendra in the Westside."
"WHAT?!"

Kendra POV
I sat down in the chair James pointed to. He disappeared into the kitchen and came back with two glasses of water. He handed one to me. I took it, stared at it, and took a gulp. It sure as hell didn't taste like water. More like vodka.
"What is this?"
"A drink." he said taking a slip of his. I took another gulp, finding that it tasted a little better each sip. I had never had vodka except when Keith was drinking some and I had no clue what I was doing, taking a sip of it and getting sick the next day. He told me it was vodka and he wasn't going to drink it anymore cause of what happened to me. Finally, I finished the glass and felt a little better. James was eyeing me.
"Thanks for the..." but he got up, came to me, and kissed me. I was so shocked I didn't react. I snapped out of it when his hand slid up my shirt. "STOP IT!" He didn't listen. He pulled me to the floor and laid on top of me. His hands were making fast work of my top. I remember what Darrel told me to do if a Soc got his hands on my shirt, kick him in the groin. I only laughed when he told me but now I thought it wasn't such a bad idea. I thrust my knee up between his legs and hit him hard in the groin. He doubled over and rolled onto his back. I stumbled up and tried to go for the door. But he had a hand around my ankle and I fell. He was on top of me in an instant. Now I really wished I had listened to Dally. My shirt was torn off and he was kissing me all over. I was trying to get free but I couldn't do anything. Finally, I screamed for Keith, Steve, even Darrel. He covered my mouth with his hand and went back to work on me. I bit him and kicked my legs until I got him off of me. This time, I punched him a few timed in the face and kicked him in the groin once more before making another run. I ran out the door and looked around. My arms were crossed over my exposed chest. I ran straight to a large tree and scampered up it. From this view, I could see everything below me but no one could see me.

Two-Bit POV
"So who's going to come with us?" I asked, putting my fists on my hips. Darry, Soda, and Steve stared at me. I waited for a moment. No answer. "Gee, don't you all offer at once." Finally, Steve stepped towards me.
"I'll go."
"Thanks." Dally grabbed onto our shoulders and pushed us out the door.
"Hurry guys." Me and Steve glared at Dally, who continued to push us. "If she's with the Socs, we to hurry before they hurt her."
"Oh yeah!"
