Summary
"'Where are Dally and Johnny?' Darry asked. His voice was real serious now, all tiredness forgotten. 'Are they okay?' He strode to the kitchen and dug around in the icebox, grabbing an ice pack that he tossed to Two-Bit.
'They're alright,' Two-Bit said. 'But the cops showed up not long after the fight started and they got arrested. Both of 'em, even though Johnny didn't do nothin', other than try and pull off the guys who were beatin' Dally to a pulp—'
Ponyboy sucked in a breath. 'Johnny got arrested?'"
Or, Ponyboy doesn't go to the drive-in with Dally and Johnny that night. Without him, Dally gets into an altercation with the Socs, setting off a wave of violence and unforeseen consequences that neither Ponyboy nor the rest of Tulsa is prepared for.
