Neighborhood Mayhem
Brian broke his arm 10 times in his old job as a stuntman. After years of travelling the world like a rockstar Brian now lives alone in a small house in sleepy suburb of Summer Heights. Brian loves to garden, listen to the birds and watch his favourite team the Sydney Kings basketball team live on television.
Summer Heights has a sweet smell like strong perfume. Every garden in Brian’s street had an old white jasmine bush so maybe that’s why the air smelled so delightful.
One night Brian heard a strange noise to the side of his house where the new neighbour had moved in.
80 firecrackers loudly exploded to celebrate his new neighbours 80th birthday but Brian didn’t move from the comfort of his couch.
Instead upon hearing all the noise Brian closed his curtains and turned up the television volumes so he could hear his insane basketball game.
Through the window curtain gaps Brian could see 80 candles on a 80th birthday cake which unbeknown to him almost started a fire but Brian still continued ignored the outside world to concentrate on his basketball game.
Brian thinks the smell of the 80 candles burning is instead his bbq hotdogs cooking on the stove for dinner during the half time at the basketball match.
Suddenly 80 police cars and fire engines arrive with sirens sounding followed by 80 gunshots fired.
Brian then hears a knock at the door.
It is a police officer in full uniform apologising for all the loud noise. The party goers were honoring his new neighbor the retired Chief Commissioner of Police 80th birthday with a traditional gun shot salute.
Brian says, “No worries” and closes the door to continue watching the basketball game though all the noise of the party.
The Sydney Kings are just about to win the basketball game and just then the television cuts out because a traditional 80 gun shot salute bullet hits the power lines and Brian never knows who won the game.
Just before the TV cut out the Channel 7 newsbreak had mentioned the brand new Police Commissioner was on her way to the 80th birthday party and was expected to arrive in 30 minutes.
Brian really wanted to know the score of his basketball game but with no electricity and no phone because his phone was broken from posting too many old stunt show footage to his Tik Tok feed Brain has no choice but to go outside and ask someone at the party to check their phone for the score He also saw it as a good opportunity to meet the new Chief of Police.
Just as Brain gets to his outside letterbox he sees the retired Chief Commissioner running towards him yelling something strange.
“Can I use your bathtub?” says the retired Police Commissioner puffing.
Brian thinking it was a bad idea to be going outside as it was very windy says to the retired Police Chief Commissioner, “No way, go away!”
The retired Chief Commissioner yells, “There’s a cyclone coming now and the bath is the safest place to be in a house during a cyclone.”
The retired Chief commissioner gets his rusty old megaphone out from his car and invites everyone on the street to get in Brian’s bathtub yelling; “Run, jump, leap into Brian’s bathtub and you will survive the cyclone. “
Brian with all his years of stunt training steals a police officers motorbike and rangles up neighbors on the street by placing them on the back of the bike just like you see in a Mission Impossible movie - saving everyone on the street.
The two neighbors and the many others neighbors form the street hop into the bathtub fully clothed together, which was a very funny sight to see.
To break the ice Brian tells everyone. “Luckily I ordered the extra large luxury bathtub during my bathroom renovation last year!” Everyone laughs nervously because they don’t know each other or their fate.
All the neighbors and Brian wait in the bathtub for the cyclone to pass over.
The neighbors wait for many hours in the bathtub together and were forced to know each other because they were piled on top of each other in such a small space.
The cyclone never comes but the neighbors get out of the bathtub as new best friends especially Brian and the Chief Commissioner who discover they both follow the Sydney Kings basketball team.
Now Brian goes to the actual Sydney Kings basketball stadium to watch the games as the special guest of the retired Chief Commissioner of Police. The retired Chief Commissioner of Police holds a lifetime Sydney Kings membership with courtside seats – and gets a police escort to and from the game.
Brian gets to proudly lead the police escort riding his old stunt motorbike with a large Sydney Kings flag on the back. His new best friend the retired Chief Commissioner prefers to ride in the luxury of a stretch limousine but at the game they never leave each others side.
Brian is currently in talks to get the 2023 Local Hero Award from the Summer Heights Mayor who wants to honor him for saving the town.
