Hey guys, sorry I took so long to update. I should update my other stories too or at least put them up for adoption if I'm not going to continue. I'll let you guys know. There's also a story on fiction press. It's the book I hope to publish. The one I told you guys about. I haven't updated all of the chapters yet. Check out my book on fiction press please. Same username Thank you. Let's get this straight. There are 2 jakes. Angela's boyfriend and Dawn's brother. So Jake is now going to be Scott or Scotch constantly now.

No one

At the Curtis house stood a distressed auburn haired ghost. Ponyboy was pacing the living room while his friends watched him pacing.

"What do you mean you left him alone?" asked Ponyboy in a deadly calm voice.

"He said he had to use the bathroom and never came back," Two-bit said. He looked very uncertain. Ponyboy had the certain urge to slap all the living people in the room. His friend was out there while a killer was on the loose. Pony looked urgently to his new friends.

Scott saw the determined and pleading look in his friend's eyes. He nodded without hesitation, his expression saying he's ready for anything. "I'll check the perimeter and the police station Little Red". Scott gave his sister dawn a kiss on the cheek and then disappeared before Pony could thank him for it.

"There's a killer on the loose and you guys haven't even looked for him?" Ponyboy asked incredulously. The guys looked down guiltily. As if something shook his core, Ponyboy remembered something. His note. "Maddy, Curly, Angela, and Jake are probably with Johnny".

At the mention of their siblings, Two-bit, Dally (Johnny is Dally's responsibility mostly so yeah), and Tim looked up in alarm.

"We forgot about our siblings," Two-bit stated in almost disbelief. He felt numb, in a strange way. He didn't like it. It wasn't his usual joking self. Lately all he's been is serious.

"They're smart though," all heads turned to Tim. "They know that there's a killer on their list. They'd do their best to stay inside," Tim tried to convince them and himself that. They knew the most important thing to those kids were family. That meant if someone was after their family or hurt them in anyway, they'd be dead bent on trying to find out who it is. "Danger's not gonna like this," Dally stated in between smoking a kool.

This is all a disaster. I knew I shouldn't have got Johnny more involved than he already was. Now my other friends are in this too. Deep down inside under the panic, hurt, and anxiety, I knew that they had to be the ones to do this. I let out a deep sigh. "This is just great," I muttered.

"So what do we do?" Dawn asked from behind me. Her orbs held worry and fear in them. So did Kristen's eyes. Like me, they also knew the torment and agony of dying. The feeling of having to never wake up and do things with your family again. The feeling of life being taken from you. We didn't want them to experience that. After this was over I'd never be back here again.

"We have to trust that they know what they're doing and wait till we have a lead to find them," a voice said from the door. Looking sharp, dangerous, and fitting his name, Danger strolled into the living room. You could clearly see the worry in his eyes. The thing that pained him the most was that his little brother was involved in something that he had no business to be in. Darry and Soda gave him a sympathetic look. They already lost me. The pain and anguish of losing me nearly made them collapse and shatter in life. If they lost another person I don't think they could take it. I don't think any of us could take it. I felt solely responsible for this. This wasn't a random murderer or crazed killer. He had a motive. A motive that has something to do with me.

At that moment, Scotch ran into the room in his ghostly speed. "I couldn't find them". He looked troubled. I felt my eyes widen a bit more than usual. I then remembered that Danger couldn't see us, but to my surprised he was looking straight at me and Scott. I couldn't contain the shock of it. "Ha-how?" I asked. He simply looked at me and blinked.

Hey guys, how was this? Sorry it's so short, but I had to give you guys something. The kids will be in the next chapter with their scheming.

Next time: With the siblings of the most dangerous hoods in town on the brink of life threatening disaster, how will everyone manage? Who is the next one to die? Will a clue of the murderer show up soon? Will detective Romanova suspect the gang? Will the gang or will the killer find Curly, Jake, Maddy, and Angela first? Meanwhile, the authorities are riding up Ponyboy and his friends' asses about the rules. What will happen when broken rules are broken too many? Disastrous consequences. These Outsiders need to keep their world from shattering to cracks or someone might just end up getting stabbed in the back.
