They ask Dally what they should do and he sends them to an old abandoned church on the top of Jay mountain. Johnny and Ponyboy cut their hair and bleach Pony`s hair blond.

Six days they stay at the church and play poker or read Gone with the wind. Then comes Dally and visits them. He brings a letter from Soda and drives with them to a shop and buys them something to eat. Dally tells them that Cherry would like to help and spy for them. Johnny tells them that he will not spend the rest of his life in the church and that he wanted to go to the police and tells them that he had killed him in self-defence. Dally thinks that`s not right and so Johnny isn`t sure what he should do.

So Dally drives back to the church which was on fire. Some kids are in the church and so Johnny and Pony go in and take the kids out. Pony`s jacket is on fire and Dally puts it out.
