|Mcyt: How Martyn Met Doc 1/2|

Grian was watching Scar try and throw ideas that Mumbo was a vampire or. . . A Dhampir, though in the Life Seires they were all bloody and Mumbo never once tried to suck their blood, if anything he seemed sick at the sight and smell of the blood.
"Hey Martyn, random question?"
"Shoot."
"How did you meet your neighbour Doc?"
Martyn was just on a business call with Doc, Grian had leaned into the camera line sight and smiled at Doc who had looked up from work.
"Oh. . . That story."
"It's a funny, yet scary."

"Hey look."
Martyn and his friends saw a truck drive up to the vacant house, that had the warning to stay away, the truck pulled up to the old house.
Then a man jumped out of the truck, he was tall, wearing glasses, sweater, jeans and his hair was in tied in a bun.
Martyn and his friends walked around to get a better look at the guy, hiding behind a bush as the man stared at the house.
"Afternoon, Sir."
He turned to him, the property owner handed him keys,"Now, are you sure about this land? We will have to remove the sign.-", he then shook his head,"That won't be necessary, I have some work that I don't want anyone to be near in risk of it getting wrecked.", with that he took the keys, the property owner was even intimated by this new guy.
Was it because of this mention of work?
Or he bought a house that no one has ever bought??
Martyn watched as the man bid the man goodbye, rushing off and the new Neighbour opened the truck and began to unload.
"Wonder what's in those boxes. . ."
"What does he do for a living. . ."
Martyn glared at his friends,"Seriously guys?", "What?", "Last time this happened, we just found boxes of books.", his female friend nods,"Yeah, but this feels different.", they watched the neighbour continue to unload boxes, some he carries and some put on a trolley: So some of it might be delicate, valuable and important.
"Wonder what's in the boxes. . ."
"Who knows. . ."
Martyn's male friend turned to them,"How do you feel about checking it out?", Martyn immediately shook his head,"No, no. Last time we pulled this stunt we got in trouble with the cops.", his female friend nods,"Yeah, true but this feels different. Especially if the property owner is intimated.", Martyn held up his hands,"Well you two do what you want, I ain't about to get on my final warning with the cops or get on the wrong side of our new neighbour.", so Martyn walked away, hands up as a surrender, and walked back to his house.

From his window, he got a better view of what was inside the truck and it was filled with boxes and each of them had the same sticker.
'Fragile'
Though something did catch his eye, a few boxes had some strange sticker or mark that he didn't recognise.
Martyn shook his head, no no; He wasn't going to get involved.
So he grabbed an old game of his and began to play.

That night, Martyn stared at the the window at the new house.
No lights were on, which was weird. . . Very weird.
Then he saw his two friends.
Oh for the love-

"Guys. . .!"
"Hey, Martyn. . .!"
Martyn was staring at them, were they trying to get arrested,"What are you doing. . .?!", "Breaking in his garage. . .!", "Why. . .?!", his female friend was picking the lock, his male friend was just wondering what happened to his spirit of adventure,"Come on man, Where's your sense of adventure. . .?","It's been covered by the thoughts of us getting in trouble or on the wrong side of this new neighbour. . .! It hasn't even been one day. . .!", "Got it!. . .", she opened the garage door slowly, not to alert neighbours or potentially wake up the neighbour.
. . .
"Woah."
The garage was completely filled with computers, systems, wires, tools and boxes filled with potential wires.
"Look at this stuff. . ."
Martyn walked along the many server boxes, a set of computers that had yet to be set up along side a chair that was yet to be set up.
But there was a few posters on the wall, a board that was empty and the room was just filled with fancy tech he had never seen so much off.
"Maybe he works for the government."
"Or a repair man."
"Martyn; Be creative."
Martyn was already tensed, he knew it wouldn't be long before they were caught and the cops were called and unlike Hello Neighbour, Mario, Sonic or any game he played; You can't respawn.

While his friends looked through the boxes, Martyn did see something that caught his eye.
A controller base, it looked to have been pulled apart and had to in the middle of production.
Martyn had this strange urge to touch it, it looked cool and the whole place did.
He reached out to touch-
His wrist was grabbed.
Martyn audibly gasped, his friends turned and the new Neighbour was in the garage and had been caught!
"What. Are you doing in my garage."
Martyn felt like he was going to have a heart attack, his new neighbour had this gold stare as he waited for an answer.
"Think fast!"
His neighbour was then hit by a box, giving Martyn time ti get out of his grip and run!
His friends followed!
"Run!"
"I blame you two for this!"
He stood up, watching the three flee the scene.
He sighed, he wasn't about to deal with this at this time but he made a note to get a lock on the garage door.
