We were having a blast along the way to the house. We were walking on the side walk, I was between Steve and Soda while Two-bit in the front, facing us. "Oh, oh. I also told them 'Hey check out their pants! So, you guys waitin' for a floodin?'" Two-bit said as he was laughing. He slapped his knee and kicked a rock with his cowboy boots. He noticed a mustang driving slow behind us. "We got some trouble. Stay close, Toots." I nodded as he turned around. I saw Two-bit and Steve pull out their blades. Steve moved to my right side, it was closer to the road, and Soda moved to my left. Two-bit was behind me, just in case if someone gets me from the behind. "Listen, when we tell you to run, run to the house and grab Darry. He should be home by now. Do not stop running to you get there. Do you understand?" Steve said. By now, the mustang is in front of us. It stopped. Four socs got out of the car. They all lined up in a straight line in front of us.

"Where do you think you're going with this girl?" one asked.

"Get out of here! You're in our part of town!" Two-bit yelled from the back. One of the socs walked to where two-bit was and pushed him against the fence. Two of them basically did the same thing to Soda and Steve. Soda was pinned against the fence like two-bit and Steve was on the ground. "Run Rose!" Soda yelled. I ran. The one who didn't have anyone ran after me. The beaten down house was right in my sight. Darry was just getting out of his truck. I herd the soc's footsteps getting closer so I started to scream for Darry. Darry noticed and yelled for Pony. Before Darry manage to get 5 feet away from his truck, the soc tackled me to the floor.
