As I was sleeping, Ponyboy woke me up with an aggressive tug & push, “come on Johnny, we’re getting out of here” Pony began, “we’re going far away” he continued. I didn’t know what happened or what was wrong but I just followed Pony’s lead. Pony and I went to the park, greaser territory. As Pony and I sit and talk a blue Mustang pulled up, it was the SOCS. “This is greaser territory” Pony said to me.
