He hadn't been able to pick up the two fighters when he wanted, thanks to the whole dilemna with Aralyn. But Tom wasn't about to speak bad about the girl whom Ben was so fiercely protective of. Keeping thoughts to himself, the older man returned to Tidus's house to retrieve the fighters at long last.

Pulling up in an old van, Tom headed towards the backyard and stepped inside. "Alright, where are ya?" He called out, holding two choke chains in one hand, and a bat in the other... just in case.

She had regained her little confidence and had heard the car and so krept to the side an d waited and when the person came in she lunged for him with a vicious snarl.Saluki the number one fighter now a days.you wonder why? Tidus made her a vicious machine.

Insanity growled baring her fangs but held back

Tom was ready and waiting for the attack, and met her lunge with a crushing blow from the bat. He did not aim for her muzzle though, for he didn't want to damage her teeth. Instead, the club was aimed to smash down on the top of her head and stun her.

the bat connected full on her head and now she just stood there fangs bared. She didn't reckonize this man but how would he know that she would attack and the fact that she be right there.She growled glaring her tail flicked but she didn't attack agian.

Insanity growled but stood her ground.

A wry smile cracked on the side of his face as he watched her, "You don't need to be hit more than once to learn a lesson, do ya? Let's hope not, for your sake." Tom pointed out, holding the bat up in a threatening manner just in case Salukie did decide to attack again.

Moving slowly, he tried to loop the end of the chain around Salukie's neck first.

She continued to growl but didn't move as the choke chain was placed around. She still bared her fangs at him.

insanity she growled.

Pulling the loop taunt, he shifted it to the hand with the bat. He then proceeded in trying to slip the other chain about Insanity's neck.

She continued snarling but nothing more

Insanity didn't move.She let the thing go around her neck

He tugged the leashing leading them to his van. "Tidus must have done something right, at least." He said, glad that the two weren't making this difficult for him. "Alright, in ya go!" Opening the back of the van, he let the two dogs in. If they didn't go in by themselves, he would hoist them up by the choke collar and swing them in.

Once they were secured, he drove for the vet.

the two immediatly jumped in of course saluki thought that they were going to the pits.
