The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

The Bizarre Beginnings Pt. 3

"Boss?" Lila's chestnut eyes widened as she stared at her boss as he leaned on his umbrella, staring irritably at Theodore as he's in shock at the sight.

Catching up to her, finally, Lila turned her head towards Theodore as she remarked, "He's your brother?"

Nodding, Hammond replied that, indeed, Theodore's his younger brother, and Lila studied the two men.

Hammond's in his mid-thirties, turned thirty-six not too long ago, has dark hazelnut eyes, and a smile that's akin to a Cheshire grin. Half the size as Theodore.

Theodore towered him and thinner without the baggy clothes on him, he's also got icy blue eyes.

When Theodore put on his smile, it's enough for Lila to bemoan, "Oh, brother!"

Hammond, ire in his eyes, looked down on his brother as he walked towards him.

"Have you stopped your foolishness?" Hammond's Scottish came through from his time with their beloved Uncle. Every time he's angry, it comes roaring out, and when he's placid, his Nottinghamshire's usually out and about, with an occasional rolling of his 'r's and vowels.

Theodore meekly replied, "I've tried, but it seems, o'dad's enemies aren't bright and want me dead, how about you, old chum?"

He informed Hammond of his situation as he shook his head, his floppy chestnut hair bobbing as he looked upon his brother with disdain. "You've gotten into trouble with Sontaran?" Hammond raised his dark brow at Theodore as he summarized what'd happened.

Theodore stated, "It wasn't my fault! They chased me first and here I am. If mum were here, she'd box your ears for that tone of voice!"

Hammond pointed the sharp end of the umbrella at Theodore's throat as he leaned forward to tell his brother, "Mum left me in charge after she died. Father told me to keep you out of trouble. Have you forgotten already, brother?"

Pressing for answers, Hammond pointed the umbrella closer to Theodore as he squirmed in his spot.

Theodore balked, "My own brother doesn't believe me, the nerve of it, father would've heard me out!"

Cutting in, Lila pointed out, "And your dad got you into this mess, don't forget. Okay, boss, hobo, is there any way we can get this over with, I'm barely able to get a bedtime snack before sleeping for a mere three hours before I must come back here. What are we going to do about these killer potato men?"

Theodore took offense as he stated that he's not a hobo and these weren't his clothes to begin with, he got them from his father, they look hobo—ish, but they're not.

Eying him, Lila remarked, "So, because of your clothes I'm in this mess?"

Getting their attention, Hammond gave them his thoughts on the Sontaran searching for his brother.

"If they're coming here, perhaps we'll give them a taste of their own medicine, but if I help you, dear brother, I'm keeping my eyes on you," Hammond vowed to keep his brother under his watch after this incident's said and done.

Their parents told him to keep an eye on him and he will. Their younger sister's got more lemons than Theodore, so he's not at all worried about her, but Theodore's a special case, and he's not tolerating his younger brother's blasé views on life.

"Fine, fine, whatever torment you're planning to put him through, can it wait until after, please," Lila showed urgency as she pointed out that it sounded like there's heavy footsteps coming from the floor below them.

It's not the security guards and they're heavily coordinated.

Hearing the Sontaran searching the department below for him, Theodore asked for his Sonic Screwdriver back.
