The sun had dipped below the edge of the neighborhood, casting long orange shadows across the cracked sidewalks. The gang was restless. Ponyboy shifted on his feet, glancing up and down the street for what felt like the hundredth time.
“He said he’d be back before dark,” Pony muttered.
Dally scoffed, leaning against a lamppost, arms crossed tight. “Yeah, well, maybe you shoulda gone with him, kid.”
“I wanted to,” Pony snapped, “but he said he just needed a break. He was only going to the lot.”
Two-Bit walked up, flipping his switchblade open and shut like a nervous tic. “I checked the lot. Ain’t there. Nobody’s seen him for hours.”
Darry, who had been quiet, finally spoke. “We split up. Soda, you and Two-Bit and Steve take the park and down by the gas station. Pony and Dally, check the alleys near the movie house. I’ll head over to Buck’s and ask around.”
They nodded, no questions. It wasn’t just that Johnny was one of them. It was that Johnny was the kind of kid you protected—quiet, small, like a kicked puppy half the time. The kind of kid who’d take a beating and still apologize for bleeding on your shirt.
It was Ponyboy who saw the sneaker first.
Half-buried in the weeds behind an old, abandoned car lot, just off the edge of the neighborhood. A beat-up Converse, one lace torn, scuffed at the toes.
“Wait,” he said, grabbing Dally’s arm. “Is that—?”
They pushed through the brush and the broken-down fence. And then they saw him.
Johnny.
He was curled up on the ground, one arm over his head, the other clutching his ribs. His face was swollen, one eye already shut tight, his lip split, dried blood trailing from his nose. His shirt was torn, stained with dirt and blood.
“JOHNNY!” Dally dropped to his knees beside him. “Johnny, hey—hey, it’s me, it’s Dally, can you hear me?” Dally picked Johnny up and put him on his lap. He wasn’t trying his best to comfort him.
