What in the world happened to Yogi’s place in the future? Why did it become so run-down? And what happened to Yogi? Bones swore that Yogi and the Yizzzzza were the same guy, but how did a guy like Yogi end up becoming a mean, old man who’s only purpose in life was to launch toasters at kids on bikes? It made no sense. 

I looked at Bones to see if he was wondering the same thing I was, but I could tell immediately that he had a ridiculous idea. I knew it because I’ve seen that “look” a hundred times. 

Bones leaned over conspiratorially and said, “Lump, I’m going to bolt down the street and yell at the Goons. When they come after me, you run into the junkyard and hide in the shack.” 

I stared at him, waiting for him to finish explaining the plan. And nope, nothing. That was all the dope had.

“Sounds great, Bones,” I said. “But what if the Goon squad catches you?” 

He dug has hand into his pocket, pulled out Stevie’s phone, started a timer, and handed it to me. 

“What if they catch me? Good one, Lump! I’ll meet you back in the shack in less than ten minutes, maybe five.” 

Before I even had a chance to protest, Bones burst out of the bushes and out into the middle of the road.
