  Summary

  Aka Dallas unsuccessfully tries to convince Soda that he isn’t hiding Johnny and Pony from the fuzz, then makes the drive up to the Windrixville church to deliver Soda’s letter. Hiding criminals in a barn, a typical day in Tulsa for him, really. But he possibly has the worst attention span of anyone on earth, keeps getting lost in his thoughts, and keeps missing turns. Road rage Dally real
