I woke up early, it had been a week since Pony and Johnny had run away. During that week, Dally was haled into the police station, got a spy, we found out that both Johnny and Pony ran away, and that Johnny had killed a soc. I climbed out of bed, got dressed, then went outside to think. I saw Dally walk to a car and get in.
" Dal, where you going?"
" None of your business."
" Take me with you."
" What?"
" Take me with you. You're going to see Johnny and Ponyboy right?"
His mouth hung open with disbelief.
" How did you know that?"
" Well you got haled into the station so I figured you have been in jail before. I also figured that you would help them get out of town."
" Get in and don't say a word."
" Okay."
I jumped into the back of the car and he took off. We were in Windrixville and up to Jay Mountain when Dally asked me if I liked living in Tulsa.
" Yah I do. Except that I have to live with my fake dad and two socs for sisters. But I guess it isn't so bad."
He stopped the car, got out, and looked through some windows on some old abandoned church. I got out and found an opening.
" Over here." I whispered.
We walked right in. The place was covered in cobwebs, coke bottles, and a copy of Gone With The Wind laid upside down next to where Johnny and Pony laid on two benches. I sat down on the chair arm of a old rusty chair in the front of the room. Dally kicked the benches waking them both.
" Hey Dal. How you doing?" Ponyboy asked drowsily.
Johnny woke up, both asking questions a mile a minute.
" Woah,slow down. This is for you."
He handed Pony a piece of paper.
" Who's this from?"
" The president of the United States. No it's from Sodapop."
We all sat there in silence as Pony read the letter.
" How come you got haled in?"
" Well when you guys went missing, they took me in and it might of slipped that you guys were heading for Texas. You guys hungry?"
" Yah we could get something to eat."
