The boys skip town and travel to Windrixville immediately following the murder of Bob Sheldon. Toward the end of chapter 4, Ponyboy and Johnny visit Dally at Buck Merril's place, and he gives them clothes, money, and directions to get to Windrixville. Pony and Johnny then sneak into an open boxcar on a moving train, which takes them to Windrixville. Ponyboy then asks for directions to Jay Mountain, and the boys end up walking to the abandoned church on the top of the hill. Ponyboy and Johnny hide out in the abandoned church and hope that things cool down in their hometown. As the boys spend time together hiding in the abandoned church, Ponyboy and Johnny become close friends and get to know each other on a personal level. When Dally comes to visit, they return from eating at Dairy Queen to discover that the abandoned church is on fire.
