Plus Ponyboy is distracted with worry over ____, who is still in the hospital fighting for his life. But Ponyboy presses Darry to let him fight, and Darry gives in. After Steve and Two-Bit arrive, they all head over to the vacant lot, where they are joined by Tim Shepard's greasers and another ____ from a suburb called Brumly. After four carloads of well-dressed ____ arrive right on time, tall and muscular ____ steps forward and offers to "take on anyone."
