Tommy went to the kitchen and read the note. Well, atleast they're polite. With knowledge that this was infact Broadway's work Tommy took the idol and held it too his lips. After a few seconds the idol came alive and turned into a real dog. It was a pug, solid black and was moving ferociously as it smelled the magic activity in the air. It as extrememely excited, it was taking a fair bit of Tommy's strength to keep it from running off.
"Be ready, mom said as soon as this thing goe's after the scent, it'll move at a decent clip."
With that Tommy released the hound, who caught the scent and took off, crashing through several of the walls as it made a bee-line through Richard's home to the scent. As soon as it was outside it sped up to a speed well over one hundred miles per hour, and within seconds, disappeard from sight.
Tommy watched it go with his mouth hanging slightly open, apparently me and mother have different interpretations on what a decent clip is...
