Unhinged // Lego City Adventures

Chapter One: Harl Hubbs Day

So, you are here to hear a heartwarming story about this city? Sorry to disappoint, but there is a lot going on in this story, and heartwarming is probably not the right term. Oh? Who am I? I am the Narrator. And I'm here to tell you the story about Tippy Dorman: a once evil doorman who tried to take over the world by bringing the prophesied world of Paradoors to reality. Not to mention the fact that Clemmons is also a large part of this story. I know it sounds kinda out of place for those two to be the main characters, but trust me, it will make sense in time.

     Ring!

     Excuse me, my phone is ringing...

     Oh? Hmmmm well ok then. Good bye.

     Sorry about that. I just heard the news that apparently I won't be the one narrating this story. I'm pretty disappointed honestly, this sounded like a good gig. I could've kickstarted my job and maybe not be a disappointment like my brother-in-law Gary. But nobody cares for the Narrator... even though I have the remarkable ability to break the fourth wall. Oh well, without further ado, I give you the story: Unhinged.

***************************

Tippy opened the door for Ms. Blumfeld. Of course he didn't open the door as any regular person would. He opened the door like a true doorman.

     "It's always a pleasure to be at your service Ms. Blumfeld!" he said.

     She came out of the apartment doors and made her way across the street, using her walker as usual. It was a lovely day to be out doormaning. Of course any day was lovely, but today in particular, the weather was working for him. It was cool, but not chilly, not too hot for his doorman suit either. He heard a car park on the road. It was Duke Detain in his new car.

     "Hello Lieutenant Detain, are you here to ask me more questions about the Silver Blur?" Tippy asked.

Duke rolled down his window "No actually, we haven't seen him since I let him off with a warning. I'm here to see how you're doing."

     Tippy walked closer to Duke. "I'm doing marvelous. How about you?"

     "If I'm being honest, there's been something on my mind that I wanted to talk to you about."

     Tippy raised his eyebrow. Duke seemed a bit uncomfortable, as he was unable to maintain eye contact.

     "Do you remember the time before you went to Mars that I told you I had feelings for you?"

     Even though Tippy wasn't eating anything, he just about choked. Of course he remembered. It was a time similar to this. Duke has pulled up to him while he was working and told him he had a crush on him. Tippy responded by saying he needed time to process how he actually felt. In truth, he did not want a relationship with someone who could jeopardize his Paradoors plans. He stayed a good distance from Duke after that to avoid him catching on to his secret mission. The topic had never been brought up until now.

     "Yes, I remember."

     Duke cleared his throat before he continued. "Well after the thing you pulled with being the master criminal, I guess I lost interest. So my point is, I want to be just friends."

     That sounded just fine with Tippy. He wasn't looking for a relationship, especially with everything Harl did fresh on his mind... Tippy shook his head to stop his thoughts from proceeding.

     "That's understandable. I think we will work well as friends."

     Duke smiled and opened his mouth as if he were going to speak, but he was interrupted by a voice ringing through the city streets.
