Thank you for the reviews from the previous chapter! I do not own THE OUTSIDERS!!! S. OWNS IT. Anyways, I swear I'm trying to make my story better! I'm really trying.
SODA'S POV
While me and Steve were working at the DX, we saw Dally run to us. What the hell? He panted then stood up to face us.
"Dally? What's wrong?" I asked.
He gulped and looked behind him. His eyes seemed to look for someone, then he quickly pointed at a face. A Soc?
"That-That bastard is-is the one that took Ponyboy." He said as he sat down on a chair trying to regain his breathe.
My mind froze, he took Ponyboy? My baby? Sudden anger boiled inside of me, Steve looked at me worried. Drops of sweat poured down his face from working so hard.
"How do you know?" Steve asked Dally.
Dally grinned, "Johnny boy told me."
"Where's Johnny?" I asked.
"Over there," Dally pointed behind me. I let out a little scream when I turned to see him behind me.
"Holy crap Johnny! You scared the hell out of me! Why you so quiet?" I asked him wiping my own sweat with my sleeve. He just looked at the Soc Dally was talking about. He was about my height, reddish hair, blue eyes, and looked….weak. Good. Just as I was about to walk and beat the shit outta him, Steve held me back.
"Steve, let me do this," I said through my gritted teeth.
"No Soda, we need to do this another time. We're at work and there's a lot of people. C'mon." He looked at me concerned. I shut my eyes and took a deep breathe.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with this. C'mon Johnny," Dally said.
Johnny hesitated, but agreed to go with him. Steve and I kept working, but my mind was all on the damn Soc, he's gonna pay.
JOHNNY'S POV
Dally and I walked to the Soc who took Pony from us. I started shaking, but not from fright, but from anger. He was in a group with other Socs. As soon as they saw us walking towards them, some left, but others stayed, 4 Socs remained. I already recognized one, but then I looked to my left and saw another familiar face, no, not Bob, but another one of his buddies. He was shorter than Dally, he had brownish hair and brown eyes. He had a rather long nose. But seemed pretty tough. I whispered Dally about the other Soc and nodded.
"Hey guys!" Dally said with fake friendliness. The Socs grimaced at him. The 2 that I recognized just kept looking at me. They're hands were in their pockets and seemed to be nervous when I looked back at them. Dally stood next to me, and said:
"Ok, let's get to the point….There are two Socs here that messed with one of us. Not only are they in deep shit, but they will deal with us. So, if you don't tell us where our boy is, our gang will fight and beat the living shit out of you. You gonna spill it or not?"
Wow, never heard Dally so serious. The Socs whispered to one another. We waited for an answer, finally, they all stopped whispering and looked at us.
"My buddies here say you're just making stuff up. But if this is true as you greasers say, we'll fight."
"Ok then, no heaters, weapons, just you're bare fists."
We all agreed, as we were leaving, I turned around to see them leave, but the two Socs I knew stared at me. They looked angry and vengeful. We went to Soda's place, 20 minutes later, Soda and Steve arrived. I was sitting on the carpet laying my head against the couch, Dally was sitting on the couch next to my head.
"So what happened?" Soda asked a bit anxiously.
Dally grinned at him. "Well, they didn't want to tells us where Pony was….So! We're gonna have a rumble in 2 days. No weapons or heaters, just fists."
Soda seemed disappointed, but then smiled, "Ok then, it's gonna feel so good when I kick their ass."
Steve grinned too, "Haven't shown off my muscles in a while."
Two-bit and Darry were here and heard what was gonna happen. They all started talking about what they were gonna do that day and stuff, I really didn't care, I just wanted Pony back.
CHERRY'S POV
I gasped when I saw Pony laying on the ground all bruised up and hurt. He looked up at me and sorta gasped too, but then winced and let out a yelp.
"Pony! What-who-why?" I ran up to him and kneeled down. His eyes barely opened, he only had like two or three bruises on his face, not too bad, but what caught my attention was his chest. It was covered with dried up blood.
"Wha-what happened?" My voice quivered as I felt his forehead, he was burning up.
Pony said in a rasped voice, "Bo-Bob sho-shot me…." He then closed his eyes and started breathing heavily. Bob? Shooting him? No…It can't be.
"Are you sure Ponyboy?" I asked tears flowing down my cheeks. He nodded closing his eyes. I stood up and wiped away the tears.
"I'll come back Pony, ok? Just hang on." I heard Pony whisper something like 'I'll probably be dead when you come back.'
I got to my car and shook as I turned on the car. I drove home, when I parked the car, I shut my eyes and cleared my mind before I got inside. Had to get my act together so my parents wouldn't suspect. I have to find out WHY Bob is doing this. Ponyboy is telling the truth. He wouldn't lie to me. I'm going to go back tomorrow to Ponyboy.
