It had been a couple weeks since You, Johnny, and Ponyboy ran away to avoid cops with the help of Dallas after Johnny killed Bob Sheldon, Johnny died a couple hours ago from massive burns from the church fire where you, Johnny, Ponyboy, and dallas saved the kids inside.

Dallas called Darrell for everyone to meet up at the old park, Everyone arrived, cops had their guns aimed at Dallas Because he was aiming an unloaded gun at the cops..they didn't know Dallas was bluffing.

Darrell ran up the street screaming: “ DON'T SHOOT HE'S JUST A KID! DON'T SHOOT! ”

but it was already too late, with the sound of gun rounds going off from the police guns Dallas's body jerked backwards and he fell, gunshots to the wound and chest as he rather lifelessly crawled his way across the black asphalt before he rolled over on his back, his eyes closing and he took his last breath.
