In The Outsiders, what does Dally tell Ponyboy and Johnny to do after Johnny killed Bob?

Rather than trying to run away someplace really far away, Dally tells them to go hop a freight train and jump off in a town nearby. He describes a church on the top of “Jay Mountain” that is abandoned where they can hole up for a while until things quiet down.


He also gets them some money and then tells them to go out as soon as they get there and get enough food to last them for a week. He wants them to be sure not to be going out and hanging around the town but to lay low and stay out of sight. He tells them to just wait up there and that he will figure out a way to get in touch with them when the time is right.
