Johnny and Ponyboy decided to walk to the park to cool off and calm down. While they're there, Bob and Randy's friends show up, ready for a fight. They try to drown Pony, and Johnny pulls out his switchblade and stabs the one holding Pony. The rest of them ran away after their friend was hurt. Pony and Johnny ran to Buck Merill's house, where they could find Dally. They thought he could help them. He got Pony some dry clothes, gave them some money, and a gun. He told them to get on the train to Windrixville and stay in the abandoned church up there. He told them to buy food for a week and that there was a water pump safe for drinking. Dally said he would be back when he felt it was safe.
"I had to. They were drowning you Pony. They might have killed you. And they had a blade… They were gonna beat me up." Johnny explains why he stabbed the soc. He was afraid and he knew that they would kill Pony and himself. Johnny always carried a switchblade with him after he wa sbeat up the first time, and promised to himself that he would use it if he needed to. After he stabbed the soc, he immediately regretted it, but knew that he had to do it.
