Chapter 9: Still Running
Ponyboy ran like he had never run in his life. He had to make it to the police station. His life depended on it. He had been running for a while, the police station was on the same block as the hotel. As he was running, he heard a familiar voice.
"Ponyboy!"
Pony looked back without slowing down. He saw Darry's truck. Soda was sticking his head out of the window and to his surprise, Wesley and Jason were in the tailback . The truck drove up and Wesley and Jason helped him into the back of the truck. The whole gang was in the truck.
"To the police station!" yelled Pony.
Darry heard him loud and clear and sped off towards the police station. After seeing the hotel right down the street. Ponyboy thought he was home free, but Darry hit the brakes and the three in the back had to clutch onto the truck for dear life. Ponyboy looked up and saw people with guns standing in front of cars. They were blocking the way to the police.
"Heaters," whispered Jason.
"Don't shoot!" yelled Steve.
"Why shouldn't we?" yelled the one guy in the front. They were some aggressive guys.
"Because of this," yelled Ponyboy. He put the tape recorder high up into the air and turned the volume all the way up. The Heaters heard it clearly as it repeated:
"It must have been a good murder Harris."
"Well, I met this guy over some money problems in the alley behind us. We had a couple of words, and I shot the guy. Man, plus I heard that some kid was framed for it. I didn't see the news report, but I'm glad I got away clean-"
The Heaters looked up and behind the truck. Everyone turned around and saw Harris running up. The leader knew who Harris was. Harris then tried to lie,
"Heaters! Look there's the kid who killed your member. His little friends also helped."
Harris smiled as the Heaters walked up towards the truck, but it flipped upside down as they walked around the truck and surrounded him.
"Tie him," commanded the leader.
…On the day the gang was leaving back to their home sweet home…
"Jason, Wesley. Thanks for helping my brother," said Darry shaking each of their hands.
"No problem. If you are ever back over here, let us know."
The gang got out of the car and Pony said goodbye to the two. Ponyboy fell asleep seconds after they drove off. As he was sleeping. Soda rubbed his hair. Darry looked over at his youngest brother and said,
"This is one tough Curtis."
That's the end. Well, like I said, I'm going to let you guys vote on the other two stories. Here they are again.
A kid wonders through Tulsa and the Curtis brothers take him in. But he has a mysterious and awful past.
Ponyboy Curtis and Tex McCormick meet. After they become good friends, a drug lord is out to find Tex because of the events in Tex. The gang is pulled into a wild adventure. Will everyone be able to keep it together?
I also have more good news. I'm thinking of writing the next part. You know, a third installment of Another Brother, Another Story & Different Outsiders, Same Methods. It was pretty fun writing about Danny. Let me know if I should write it. Catch you later
