I woke up to a high pitched screeching sound. It was the sound of a siren. I figured it was as I was being bumped up and down on a bed. I adjusted my eyes seeing that guy that was with the kids and Pony on a bed as well. I felt a shooting pain shoot up my leg and winced. It hurt really bad.

" Johnny, Dallas, Val."

I heard a weak voice from Pony. Before I could respond that guy explained.

" Valley is here and the other two are in a different ambulance. I swear you guys are the bravest kids I've seen. Are you guys professional heros or something?"

" We're greasers."

" You're kidding."

" Take us to town. You'll found out real fast."

When we got to the hospital I was taken to a room and checked over. I had a burn on my left arm, a bruise on my left leg, had a deep cut on my right leg that they cleaned and had to take a couple of splinters out, and finally stitched it together. They let me go and wait in the waiting room. Pony came out with soot all his face. I figured I looked like that too. Pony sat down next to me as that guy which I found out later was named Jerry came and sat down next to him. I laided back in my chair, laying my head back against the wall. I heard footsteps and Pony got up. He ran to Sodapop and gave him a hug.

" Look at your tuff hair."

Darry was standing there and Pony ran and gave him a hug too.

" I thought we lost you like we did mom and dad."

I had never seen a tough greaser cry before. They walked over, sat down, and waited to see how Dally and Johnny was doing.
