Zoe’s phone buzzed, and she jumped, letting go of the fence. “Maybe Michael found something.” She unlocked the screen with her thumb and her eyes popped wide open. “Arcaaaaade . . . you’ll want to take a look at THIS.”

“What?” I jumped over next to Zoe. She poked a couple more buttons on her screen.

“I’m getting some notifications.”

“What kind of notifications?”

She turned the phone my way. “From my Picture Post app. I have a new follower.”

“Is that good?”

Zoe put her hand on her hip. “Here. I clicked on his profile. You tell me.”

I pulled the phone in close to look. A familiar face filled the screen, but I couldn’t believe my eyes. “This is impossible!”

“Oh, yeah? I’m surprised to hear you say that, Mr. My-Token-Can-Do-Anything.”

The new follower’s username was @LoopDogNYC. And the profile picture was . . . LOOPY! With his tongue sticking out, his ears perked, and his head cam on!

“Follow him back, Zoe!” I handed the phone over to her, and she clicked “follow.”

“Oh, this is funny,” Zoe said.

“What?”

“Loopy posted his first picture! I think we’re barking up the wrong tree, Arcade. Check this out. This picture was posted five minutes ago.”

It had to be a picture taken from his head cam. It showed his front, furry legs running, and in the distance was a bridge I had seen before. In Central Park.

“Zoe! That’s the Bow Bridge!”

Central Park Scramble

“That’s over by the Ramble,” Zoe said. “Let’s go!” We both tore out of there.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket. “I’ll tell Scratchy and Carlos. Maybe they’re over there now.” My fingers shook as I pulled up the number and called Scratchy.

“Hey, Arcade!” I could hear the buzz of Scratchy’s scooter in the background. “Did you find him?”

“Nah, but we saw a pos—I mean, he’s been spotted heading toward the Bow Bridge.”

“That’s RADICAL! We’re in the Ramble right now. We’ll head over there.” I could hear Scratchy turn off his scooter and yell, “CJ! Turn your wheels around. He’s this way!”

“We’re on our way back from PS 23,” I said. “We’ll be there as soon as we can.”

“And we’ll let you know when we have him!” Scratchy hung up and I clicked off the phone. I took a second to catch my breath.

Thank goodness for friends with wheels.

The Bow Bridge is one of the most famous landmarks in Central Park. They call it Bow because it’s bent like an archer’s or violinist’s bow. I knew that from reading New York City: A Coffee Table Tour.
