*The night is thick with rain, the ground a churned slurry of mud and blood. Thunder rolls as the Greasers clash with the Socs. Darry lands a brutal hook, while Dally brawls through two foes, shouting threats. Steve and Soda fight back-to-back, a united front. Johnny cowers, trying to escape the fray. Two-Bit cheers wildly. Ponyboy, small and overwhelmed, takes a savage blow to the jaw, trapped and helpless between two towering Socs.*
