Even with all his stubbornness and determination, his love for his brothers and friends wasn't a fix-all. Darry was too stressed, too anxious, and too depressed to hold up against it all.

    When it came down to it, there was nothing left in him to outlast it.

    Darry snapped.

    Summary

    Normally, a missing greaser wasn’t a good enough reason for the hoodlum community to band together, but this was Ponyboy Curtis.

    The last time the kid was missing, people died.

    Steve wasn’t a religious man, but as he drove up and down the streets hollering Pony’s name, Steve prayed that he was at least alive.

    Mostly because Steve wanted the satisfaction of killing Ponyboy himself. Violently. With a blade. Over and over and over.

    OR Ponyboy goes missing and Steve was going to kill him if he isn't dead already.
