My Adventures with Diggs Nightcrawler

(Based upon the video game Diggs Nightcrawler from the Wonderbook games)

Prolouge: Humpty's Desperate Plea

"I still remember how my first adventure with the most amazing bookworm detective all began. I was just a nine year old girl at the time but i recall the day my family and i moved into Library City for a better life... however it was not meant to be. Soon my parents and my little brother fell ill and soon died, leaving me all alone. And since there was nobody around to turn to i turned to life on the streets as an orphan and made my pay by selling newspapers, standing outside and shouting the latest news for hours on end. I had no idea that one day my whole life, which had taken a turn to a turn for the worst, was about to take another turn. This time for the better, it all started around 4 o' clock one fatefull afternoon."

The dark clouds began to cover the afternoon sky over a tall modern city where people from all kinds of popular fairytales live and thrive in the thumping motropolis. Most didn't even pay attention to a nine year old girl who was holding up a newspaper with a bag over her shoulders as she tried to sell papers before sundown.

She was a nine year old african american girl with brown hair, tied to a pigtail with a purple headband on it, and she wore a white doctor coat, a lavender and purple striped fleese shirt, a pink fleece skirt and pink and white sparkling shoes. Her name was Dottie McStuffins but everybody called her Doc for short (Doc McStuffins) She was trying to sell the last of her newspapers to the people on the streets.

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" Doc shouted "Get your papers here! Book Shelf Express! Extra! Extra!"

When nobody stopped to even pay attention to her, much less buy a newspaper, she sighed before she stopped to look at a young girl holding hands with her mother and father. It reminded Doc about how much she missed her family and the wonderful times they had together.

"Excuse me miss." a gentleman's voice spoke up "May I have one?"

Doc turned and saw an egg in a black business suit, a red bowtie, black shos and a pocket watch in his pocket with a golden chain attached to his suit. His name was Humpty Dumpty, known as the Hump, and the Don of Library City (Digs Nightcrawler).

"Here you go." Doc said as she handed the egg a newspaper.

"Thank you my dear," Humpty said but then he looked around in a worried way and Doc looked around to see what he could've seen.

"Uh, who are you looking for?" Doc asked "Are you waiting for anyone?"

"Um... something like that," Humpty said "My dear, how about I relive you of duty and take you with me? I have a feeling it's not so safe around here."

Doc's skin crawled as she looked around for the anyone who looked dangerous and said "I... I don't know, but i'm pretty scared."

"Then come with me." Humpty said "It will be safer in my place."

Usually Doc wouldn't trust strangers but in this case she felt like she could trust him and she sighed as she said "Okay, but i'm bringing my newspapers."


Soon they arrived at Humpty's where Doc was given a nice warm meal and a bath since she hadn't had one for a while. When Humpty called for her in his office she wasted no time going to his office where the egg stood next to the open window and Doc said "I'm here, what is it Mr. Dumpty?"

"Doc, this my be disturbing news, but I need you to remain calm when you hear it." Humpty said.

"What is it?" Doc said

"I'm afraid I've received very disturbing news." Humpty said "That i'm about to be, as they say, taken down, bumped off... murdered."

"Murdered?!" Doc asked in shock

"But that's just the beginning of the reign of terror that will engulf our fair city. But there is a way you can help."

"H-How?" Doc asked in worry

"First, you must find the detective Diggs, Diggs nightcrawler to be precise. Here is his address." Humpty said as he handed Doc the business card of the detective he mentioned "Only you and he can solve the mystery of my murder and put things back together again."

"But... But i'm just a little girl!" Doc protested "I... I don't even know how-why-when-"

Suddenly the door handle began to jiggle and she gasped in horror while the egg propped off a chair t keep whoever was trying to get in out.

"There's no time child!" Humpty said "You have to leave now!"

"Why me?" Doc asked in fright

"Because your the only one who I believe can help me and Diggs bring the murderer to justice and save the city!" Humpty said 'I know this is all very sudden but you must flee now! An whatever you do, don't look back, trust no one but Diggs and, most importantly, don't stop until you've solved this for me! Now go!"

Doc quickly ran for the door and closed it before she headed outside and hopped into her bike. As she left the driveway she heard the door being broken down, some loud voices an finally... a loud gunshot fallowed by cracking sounds.

Doc was scared out of her mind but she didn't look back, not even once thinking about the stacks of newspaper she left behind or about her job or even the rain that had started to fall from the sky.

Whoever this Diggs Nightcrawler was he'd better be as helpful as she was told. Otherwise she was afraid all this would be for not. All she knew was that she had to get to his place and fast, no matter what.
