Chapter 11: Mission

Houston woke up in a dark room. The only light that shone was from the door crack. Houston got up and tried to open the door, but there was no knob. He fell back towards the wall and started to cry. What had he gotten himself into?

….

Soda and Pony walked up to Tim Shepard. They wanted to know what was up with their brother.

"Shepard. Trix hasn't showed up for hours and -"

"Chill Curtis. I've been giving your plan some thought. You and a couple others can go spy if you want. Just don't get caught."

"Tim-," Soda started to yell but Ponyboy cut him off.

"We'll go right now. C'mon Soda."

Ponyboy pulled Soda away and Soda stared at him.

"When we spy on them, we can see if Trix is there."

"Okay. But let's get Two-Bit and Steve."

Pony and Soda got Two-Bit and Steve and went to go find the I.B.K. territory.

…..

Danny and Rachel were still driving around. They had been driving for at least an hour.

"Dang. Where should we look first?" yelled Rachel.

"I'm not sure."

"You can't think of anywhere?"

"What do you mean?"

Rachel sighed.

"Danny. Alex told me that this is where you guys went when you two ran away."

"Oh."

"I mean. You don't know where any abandoned buildings are or something?"

Danny thought for a moment. There were two he knew about. The one where he fought Tay at, and the one where the Brumly Boys stayed.

"I know two. But there on the other side of town."

"Then let's get going."

……

"Look Soda!" yelled Steve.

Soda glanced to the left and recognized a car. It was the car that Trix busted an I.B.K.'s window. It was parked near an old building. It was small though.

"Do you think that's where they are?" asked Steve.

"Could be. Wait a sec look!" yelled Pony.

Everyone looked to see two I.B.K.'s carrying Trix outside and throwing him into a van.

"Hey!" yelled Soda as everyone jumped out the car.

The two members looked at all of the greasers. They were outnumbered. They jumped into their van and peeled off.

The greasers got into their car and chased after them.

….

Danny pulled up next to a building and looked.

"This must be where they are," started Danny. "There's a car right there. Look at the license plate."

It was pretty obvious. The plate read, I.B.K.

"Then let's go," said Rachel getting out of the car.

They didn't get too far. Because five I.B.K.'s ran up to them.

"Hold it right there," he yelled.

Three of them pulled a pistol out on Danny and Rachel. They had been captured that easily.

….

The I.B.K's van was speeding down the road, but the greasers were right on their tail. Soda rammed the van, and the van swerved a little bit.

"They won't quit!" yelled one of the I.B.K.'s

"It's because of this greaser!"

"Let's just throw him out right when we get to the bridge."

"Gotcha."

The van was reaching the bridge and the door slid open.

"What are they doing?" asked Two-Bit.

One of the I.B.K members threw Trix out the door and he cleanly sailed over the barrier and fell towards the water.

"Trix!" yelled Soda.

He pulled over the car and jumped down towards the bank of the river. Trix had hit the water by then. Soda dived in and swam to rescue his brother. Seconds later, he dragged Trix motionless body up the bank.

"Is he okay?" asked Steve running down with Pony and Two-Bit.

Soda looked at Trix. He was still breathing.

"I think he'll be fine."

They looked at Trix. It was horrible. There was dried blood on his body, his clothes were torn, and there wounds all over his body.

"We've got to get him back to Shepard's"
