Chapter 13
3rd Person
"What you gettin' at Officer?" Darry eyed the man closely. He didn't like this. First Dallas, now this guy? What was the world coming too?

"Well, Mr. Curtis, has your sister been behaving strangely? I mean the fingerprints match, and Kitten is our top suspect. Now I do have orders to arrest her, but I decided to come talk to her family. Maybe she just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, are you understandin'?"

"My sister ain't no murderer, and you and the rest of the damn world should keep your nose out of our business! Our parents just died, she's going through bad times as it is! Now with everyone using her as a damn scapegoat for these killings . . . it just ain't fair!" Darry's voiced was strained and filled with worry as it rose louder. Darry, the calm and collected one, was losing all of his nerves. Soda quietly told Pony to get their brother another glass of water as the gentlemen stared at the twenty-year-old bewildered.

"I think it'd be best if you came back at another time," Sodapop mentioned and the officer tipped his hat, walking out the door.

"What is wrong with everyone? What is it?" Darry stared into the scared eyes of Ponyboy Curtis. The youngest Curtis was scared to death, as if the killer herself was threatening him. He had never in his life seen Darry lose it. Maybe all the stress that had been brought onto him when their parents died was finally starting to cut into him, causing him to meltdown like this. It scared Pony, if Darry couldn't hold it together, how could anyone else?

Sodapop and Ponyboy decided to do the dishes in silent while their oldest brother turned in early.

"Do you think it's true?" Pony looked up at Soda, who was whistling happily as he scrubbed the ketchup off of one dish.

"I don't know. It all seems a little . . . surreal, don't you think?"

"I guess. But . . . I mean . . . Kitty. She has been acting . . . stranger."

"Maybe it's just her way of dealing with . . . everything," Soda didn't want to say "their parents death". It was too painful for him to remember, and by not mentioning it, he could deal with it.

"Her fingerprints matched Sodapop. Don't ya find it strange that it's always someone that one of the guys break up with?"

"I guess, but it's our sister Pony."

"So? Dally's our friend."

"What does Dally have to do with this?" Soda looked at the younger boy puzzled.

"Well I'm sure Dally could commit murder."

"No, he can't. Ol' Dal can talk a good game, and I know he can beat someone close to death, but ol' Dal can't kill no one. No matter how much he threatens," Soda believed it too. He believed that deep down, Dallas wouldn't harm a fly if it he weren't expected too.

Pony rolled his eyes as he put the last dish away. He headed into his and Soda's room and got ready for bed.

Soda followed his brother when Kitty came barreling through the door. Soda was practically knocked over by her.

"Whoa, slow down there sweetie," he steadied his sister and looked at her. Tears were sliding down her pale cheeks, and her eyes were bloodshot and swollen. She had been crying.

"Kitty, you okay?" she touched his cheek, and then ran into her bedroom.

Something dripped onto the floor, and Soda touched his cheek where Kitten's hand had just been placed. He pulled his fingers away and examined them. Blood dripped from them and onto the floor.

Whoa, pretty intense there. Hope you guys liked it! Well did ya?

Well Toodles!
