"Where the heck is my toothbrush?" Tiny mumbled, looking all over the bathroom. Sitting in the doorway, Hu woofed softly and tilted his head. Today marked the second morning of them being alone in the house. And it was at this moment that Tiny discovered his toothbrush was missing. He really needed it. His breath had almost made him pass out. Huffing, Tiny stood up.

He was gonna have to buy a new one.

"Hope Leonard doesn't mind if I borrow some cash..." Tiny remarked, striding through the hallway towards the guest bedroom Leonard had been in. Opening the door, he found a shelf with all kinds of stuff stacked on it. On the very top was a box filled with money, left by accident. Just like him. Cracking his knuckles, Tiny began the long and risky climb. Whimpering, Hu covered his eyes. Making it to the top, Tiny grabbed the box.

That's when the shelf finally broke.

Tiny wasn't too sure what happened. One moment he heard something snap under his shoe. Then everything had crashed down onto the floor, including himself. Dusting his sweater off, the basset hound puppy smiled triumphantly when he saw the cash. Grabbing two handfuls, he and Hu left the guest bedroom, leaving the door wide open.

Little did they know that they had accidentally set Leonard's pet tarantula Pepe free.

"Hu, stay here. I'm just going to the corner store and then I'll be right back," Tiny informed Hu while he was putting his winter gear on. Hu just watched, wagging his tail. Petting the dog on the head gently, the little boy left the house, shutting the door behind him. With money in his pockets, he set off on his journey. Not long after he rounded the corner, a cop car pulled up to his house.

"Tiny!" Sheriff Rooster called, getting out of his patrol car. The police officer approached the door of the Russell family house and knocked three times on it. Inside, he could hear Hu barking. Clearing his throat, the sheepdog declared loud and clear, "Tiny, it's Sheriff Rooster. Please come outside. I'm gonna take you back to the station with me." When he still got no answer, he shook his head quietly and walked back to his car. Getting in, he drove away in defeat.
