Chapter Two
Andi was panting softly now. She realized there was no way they could outrun the Socs catching up behind them. Johnny seemed to know it, too because he gave Andi a glance, and they suddenly stopped running. Andi and Johnny stood back to back as the Socs gathered around them in a circle. Andi had her fists raised in a fighting stance while Johnny tried to pass off as looking too tough to handle. Andi gulped because the odds seemed to be against them.
"Well, well, well… a greaser out with his greaser broad… couldn't have asked for more fun, now, could we boys?" The boy that spoke seemed to be the leader of the bunch. He had black hair and would have been rather handsome if he didn't look so evil.
"Leave us the hell alone, Soc," Andi growled. The leader's eyes flashed in her direction. He glared at her with unconstrained hatred.
The Socs moved so quickly, Andi had no time to perceive what would happen next. One of the Socs had managed to grab a hold of her while the others closed the circle around Johnny and began punching and kicking him mercilessly.
"What do you think you're doing?" Andi roared as she struggled against the large Soc grabbing onto her arms.
"Shut her up will ya?" one of the other Socs called behind his shoulder, rather annoyed.
Andi wriggled against the hand that smothered her screams. She gaped in horror as the Socs dropped something on the ground before dragging Johnny away to a less conspicuous area. It was his jeans jacket, the only jacket he owned, and it was covered in blood. Andi could feel herself getting sick with rage so she bit the Socs hand. The Soc swore badly as Andi sprinted away in the direction where Johnny and the other Socs had vanished.
"Johnny!"
Andi could feel the ache of worry slowly building up inside of her. Her head pounded madly at the very idea that Johnny could be dead or nearly dead. She burst through the clearing with a desperate rage.
"Leave him alone!"
The world erupted in a wall of water. Andi watched, dripping, as the Socs ran back towards their car screaming about freaks. Andi stared at her own hands, where the water had erupted from unexpectedly. What was wrong with her?
She heard footsteps heading towards the clearing.
"Andi?" Andi was relieved when she recognized the voice. She burst out from behind the bushes. Sodapop looked at her with a puzzlement flickering in his eyes. "What's wrong, baby? Where's Johnny?"
"Soda…" Steve, Soda's best friend, came up from behind, carrying Johnny's jeans jacket. He showed Sodapop the blood on the collar, and Soda immediately paled.
As if they sensed what was happening, the rest of the gang appeared suddenly. They managed to carry Johnny back to the Curtis house, which was the closest. Andi was shivering. She doubted she would get any sleep tonight. There were already nightmares dancing around in her head waiting to plague her as she slept. Two-Bit noticed something wrong.
"You okay, sugar?" he asked worriedly.
Out of everyone in the gang, Two-Bit was like another older brother to Andi. She was close friends with Two-Bit's little sister, and since then, Two-Bit had taken it onto himself to treat her like another younger sibling. Andi was the only one who bothered remembering Two-Bit's real name, Keith.
"I'll be okay. Get on home, Keither… I have some things I need to work out," Andi answered softly.

It was late, nearly 3:00 AM. Andi sat by Johnny's bedside staring at her hands. Darry had volunteered to sleep on the couch for a night so Johnny could have a comfortable place to recuperate. Andi was wondering just what she had done to save Johnny from the onslaught of Socs. The water had to have come from somewhere. Was it possible it had actually come from her very own hands?

Terry wheeled his way to the Professor's library. He had just finished dinner, and the Professor seemed to have some information of pressing importance. Jade* followed closely behind him, more silent than usual, if that was possible.
"Professor…"
"Ah, yes, Terry. I've been expecting you and Jade. You're other sister… Terry you remember where she was abandoned?"
Terry could remember it as clearly as his last birthday (which happened to be his seventeenth).
"It was a southern town… Oklahoma City, I believe. Why?"
"I believe we've found her."
