A/N: Hey y'all! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sorry to say that this chapter is kinda short but chapter 4 (which will be posted Saturday) will be much longer.

Tick,

"Do you think the fuzz have found the soc yet?" Johnny looks at his friend, "I don't know Pony."

"What do you think Dally's planning?"

"I don't know Pony."

"Why didn't he want us to tell the other what happened?"

"I don't know Pony."

"We should've at least told Darry, that why he could keep Dal from doin' anythin' stupid, right?"

"I don't know, alright man, I don't know!" Johnny feels kinda bad for snappin' at his friend but he just couldn't help it. Neither of them had gotten much sleep and a bit irritable. But seriously, can you blame him? Johnny had just killed someone. A livin', breathin person! Or who had been a livin', breathin' person.

Johnny sighs, "I'm sorry Pony."

"It's alright. Ugh, this suspense is killin' me... uh, probably not the best choice of words."

"I know what you mean, its buggin' me too."

Suddenly someone knocks loudly the door.

"D-do you think that's Dally?"

"No, he never knocks. Go get your brother."

Pony quickly gets up and runs to Darry's room. Darry comes out of his room, pullin' on a t-shirt as he crosses the living-room. Pony sits back down beside Johnny. Darry opens the door, revealin' two cops on the porch. Both Johnny and Pony pale.

"Can I help you officers?"

"We're looking for Dallas Winston."

"May I ask why?"

"We have evidence connecting him to a murder nearby," Johnny's eyes widen slightly in fear. "You don't happen to know anything about that, do you?"

"No sir and Dallas isn't here."

"Then you don't mind if we search the premise?"

Darry opens the door wider and steps to the side, "Go ahead."

The cops check every room in the house, not even attemptin' to be quiet about it, yet somehow they manage not to wake up Soda.

One of them stops to talk to Darry before they leave, "Thanks for your cooperation. If you get any information on the whereabouts of Mr. Winston please call the station."

...Aaannndd that's chapter 3. Now in the spirt of Thanksgiving, I have a question for y'all.

I'm thankful for my wonderful friends and family (for supportin' me in whatever I do), and for fanfiction (for givin' us all a place to express ourselves and share our ideas).
