Locked In
“Let’s go, Buddy,” Mom says. “In the car.” She pats the back seat. But I am in the middle of a very important conversation.
“Where are Maya and Alex now?” I ask Jazzy.
“I don’t know,” she says. “I saw them go in that door over there.” She tips her head toward the far door at the end of the school. “I don’t think they ever came out.”
I have to find out what Maya and Alex are up to. I yank my leash out of Mom’s grasp and RUN for that door.
“Buddy!” Mom stomps her foot. “Come back here!”
I keep running. Along the way I pick up Maya’s scent. Her brother’s scent, too.
I can feel Mom chasing me across the playground. I know she isn’t happy. But I have to follow Maya and Alex’s trail. I follow it all the way to the school. Unfortunately, the door is closed.
I don’t know why all buildings can’t have a doggy door like I have at my house.
I peer in through the glass. Mr. Poe is mopping the floor.
“Let me in!” I say, scratching at the slippery door. “Please, let me in!”
Mr. Poe comes over and pushes the door open with his hip.
“Grab him!” Mom yells to Mr. Poe. “Grab Buddy!”
Mr. Poe reaches for me, but I leap away before he can grab me. I charge across the wet floor. Sniffing ... sniffing ... sniffing. Uh-oh. I think Mr. Poe has mopped away Maya and Alex’s trail.
No, wait. When I get to a part of the floor where Mr. Poe hasn’t mopped yet, I pick up the trail again. I follow it down the hall, around the corner, around another corner, down the stairs, all the way to that secret door.
I sniff the door. I don’t hear voices or anything moving around inside, but I’m pretty sure I smell those kids in there.
“BUDDY, SIT!” Mom yells as she hurries toward me. “SIT AND STAY!”
I sit.
“Good boy,” Mom says, grabbing my leash.
