((OOC: Wellup, here it is. You've all been asking for it. XD))

Cade stood petrified as the Soc loomed over her, "Now you worthless piece of…" Cade started to struggle against their hold,

"What do you want from me?" she yelled at the Socs.

The Soc laughed evilly and slugged her again, "Shut up."

Ponyboy and Johnny were playing cards in the living room when Johnny heard some commotion,

"Hey man, what do you think that is?" he asked Pony.

Pony looked towards the door, "I don't know. Let's go check on Cade. She must be lonely." He noted, putting the cards down,

"All right." Johnny said, heading for the door.

"Answer me! What do you want!"

"Shut up greaser! You're in no position to be talking right now." The Soc snarled, slugging her in the jaw as she withered on the ground. Two of the Socs began tying her arms and legs together with rope, and she was in too much pain to do anything but lie there helpless, wishing wildly for someone to help her.

"Cade, where is she?" Pony asked as they searched the house,
"Where could she go? She doesn't know….'

A sudden thought struck Johnny like a ton of bricks as he raced outside,

"CADE! CADE!"

"Johnny! What do you mean?" Pony said, running after him.

"She musta gone for a walk, and she probably went alone…"

Pony froze in his steps,

"Oh no. Johnny we gotta find her."

Johnny burst into the Curtis house where Darry, Two-Bit, and Soda were watching TV.

"Guys, Dallas' sister went for a walk and she hasn't come back."

I think all at once they heard her shouts,

"DALLAS! PONY! JOHNNY! ANYONE!"

Cade lay sprawled out onto the ground, the street turning red as her blood ran down. The Socs had successfully finished tying her up,

"Well now, what have you got to say for yourself?"

The Socs turned and saw the gang running towards them, and they sprinted off, leaving Cade on the ground,

"This ain't over broad! You'd better watch your back is all I can say!"

Johnny reached and kneeled down, soaking his jeans in her blood.

"Cade, Cade. You there?" he said, tapping her arm lightly.

"Dallas?" a weak voice answered

"No, no it's Johnny. Listen, we gotta get you to a hospital. Can you at least stay conscious?" Johnny said, pushing the bangs off her closed eyes.

"Johnny, what did they wan…." Cade welcomed the warm darkness that entered her mind.

Darry looked as mad as heck, "Why didn't Dallas tell her about walkin by herself? I mean, she doesn't know what to expect here. Where is he anyway?" he said, looking around.

"Worry about that later. Let's get her to the hospital right now."
