Man that night in the vacant lot sure scared me. I don't know what I was more afraid of, Darry finding out I had gotten myself hooked up with a murder rap, or the cops who I knew would be lookin to pin a rap like that on some poor greaser from the wrong side of the tracks. I know Johnny didn't mean to kill him, he was just trying to protect me, but ya gotta admit he had all the reason to kill Bob after the way he was worked over and left half dead by the guy.
