I'm happy today. I found one of Stevie Wonders greatest hits. It had "Stay Gold" on it andcouple of my other favorites on there.

Chapter 5: What Had Happened?

Trix met up at the Dingo. Ponyboy was talking on a telephone when he got up there. He put his finger up to let Trix know that he would be with him in a minute.

"Thanks for taking them in."

"No problem. We said to let us know if you need anything. What are their names?"
"Rachel, Houston, Jack, Danny, Keith and Alex."

"Gotcha. Bye."

"Bye."

Ponyboy hung up the phone and turned to Trix.
"Alright," started Trix. "Before you say anything. I want to know what the heck is going on!"

Trix thought they must have a good reason for shipping those kids off. Ponyboy sighed.

"Okay. A lot of stuff went on after you left. First, a new gang came in and we had a short war with them. We won, but their leader got shot down by the police. They were sent to jail later on. Now they are coming back for us. Well that's what Randy said. Soda, Steve and Two-Bit are going around telling everyone what's going on and meeting back here."

Trix stared and contemplated for a moment.

"Okay. Then who was that you just got off the phone with?"

"That's another thing that happened. We all went to the city and I got caught up in some murder thing-"

"Again?"

"I'll give you details later. Two guys helped me out and I just got off the phone with them. They're gonna take care of the kids while we see what we can do about the I.B.K."

"Are the guys trustworthy?"

Trix didn't want his son with just two guys they met.

"Yeah. They took care of me."

Trix sighed. He thought everything was over. Well, at least it wasn't Danny's problem this time.

…

"Where are we going?" asked Houston from the back.

"To the city somewheres," answered Keith looking at the directions.

"Does anyone know what's going on?" asked Danny.

"Well, I happened to swipe Dad's journal," said Rachel. "I remembered that guy, um.. Randy, said some people called the I.B.K. were after them. All I have to do is look up those three letters and we'll know what's going on."

"Well, we can read it when we get to where we're going. How far do we have."

"I know for a fact that the city is hours away," said Rachel.

"Well, I hope you plan on stopping for rest stops."

"Nah. We're all going to take turns. Dad said we can't stop for anything."

"So who's going after you?" asked Rachel.

"Danny you want to go after me, then you Rachel, Alex, to Keith?"

"Count me out," said Alex. "I lost my license months ago."

"I'll go next," said Danny.

…

"So they're back huh?" said Tim Shepard leaning against the wall of the closed Dingo.

"Yup. And they want revenge," said Steve spitting into the grass.

"What about the young bloods?" asked Curly.

"We sent them off," said Sodapop.

"We've got to get in touch with the Brumly Boys."

"What about the hero?" asked Tim, referring to Darry.

"He won't be here until later on. He'll help when he gets here."

"So what's the plan?" asked Ponyboy.

"Alright. We're gonna need to beat up anyone that we don't recognize. Ex-soc what were they guys dressed like?"

Everyone looked towards Randy. They felt that they could trust him since he warned everyone.

"They all had on white-beaters and jeans."

"Looks like you're gonna have to lose your style Trix," joked Two-Bit.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Okay," started Soda. "So we're all crashing around your place and neighborhood?"

"That's a good idea," said Tim.

They concluded their plan and made way for Tim's place. Soda, Steve, and Trix got into one car. They were late leaving though because Soda had some business.

"You done making water?" shouted Steve watching Soda run up to the car zipping his pants.

As they drove, they were talking.

"Are you sure they're in good hands?" asked Trix still worried about Danny.

"Positive," said Soda.

Suddenly, lights blinded the street up ahead.

"Whoa!" yelled Soda as he turned to avoid the car almost ramming them. The car swerved and the side hit a tree. There wasn't any damage to the passengers and drivers and they all climbed out.

Trix, Steve and Soda saw the car that almost rammed them, and four people got out of the car. They were I.B.K. members.

"Time to rumble," said Soda cracking his knuckles.

Two members ran right towards Soda and Soda threw his fists into both their faces. Trix grabbed another guy and threw his head threw the window of the parked car. The guy was knocked out instantly.

Steve slammed his fist into the face of one of the fallen I.B.K. members and continued with the poundings until the guy was unconscious. All three grown greasers turned towards the other two guys. Both of them had bleeding lips and noses.

"We'll get them later," said one of the guys. They ran off leaving their car right there.

"Punks," said Steve.
