Eight-Fifty PM
October 31
Dr. Robbert Williams rummaged through his files from last year, his cabinet was full of patients but one in particular was kept in a special green folder, he finally found it in the top drower. He shared an office with Dr.Mark Hartford, Hartford was still sitting at his desk and it was nearly ten minutes of nine.
"Your still here Bob", Hartford replied.
"It's a regular night for you, not me", Williams replied.
The phone on his desk rang, he picked it up.
"Yes?", he replied.
"Dr. Loomis is here to see you sir", replied a nurse.
"Send him up", Dr. Williams said.
Hartford looked at him, "Sam Loomis?".
"The same", Williams replied.
A moment later Dr.Loomis walked into their office. The two doctors shook hands.
"You must be Erin Parker's doctor", Loomis said.
"Yes and this is my colleague, Dr.Hartford", Williams said.
Loomis and Hartford shook hands.
"Good news or bad news?", Loomis asked.
"Let's take a walk", Williams replied.
The two doctors left the office and walked down the corridor, they took the elevator up to the third floor, as they walked down the hallway, they stopped outside a room with a bay window, the curtains were closed but a light came from within.
"You brought Erin Parker here a year ago and I didn't ask any questions. I have been her doctor for the better part of twenty –five years and after last Halloween I would really like an explanation as to why or how all this happened", Williams said.
"She was in a coma. Are you telling me she is awake?", Loomis asked.
"She was in a coma for two weeks. Two weeks became two months. Nine months ago, she woke up. But she was silent. All she did was sleep, watch TV, eat and use the toilet. So, we moved her to this room to observe her. Dr.Gregg Spencer is another associate of mine, he was in charge of observing her. According to Spencer, he thought she was becoming depressed, her eyes were less blue, she stared at the wall, staring into space. In his notes he said that she moved in her sleep, she moved her hands, that she kicked. So, three months afterwords we installed a dry erase board", Williams said.
He took out a key and unlocked the door. The room was a mint green with a white tiled floor and an off white ceiling. There was something written on the dry erase board.
"She left this message before we shipped her off", Williams said.
Loomis read and re-read the message, "He will come. He will come and you will pay. He can't be killed. You can't run", he replied under his breath. He then looked at Dr.Williams, "Where is she now?".
"Smith's Grove. We had no choice", Williams replied.
"Can I speak with Dr.Spencer?", Loomis asked.
"If you must know, Erin strangled Dr.Spencer. He supposedly walked in and four hours later, we found him strangled underneath the message. Dr. Wynn came and brought her to Smith's Grove himself. We didn't know what it meant", Williams said.
"Erin Parker is not a mental patient and you know that. And I dam well know who that message was about", Dr.Loomis replied.
"Who?", Williams asked.
"Michael Myers", Loomis muttered.
"Michael Myers?Your Patient from Smith's Grove?", Williams asked.
"Yes", Loomis said.
"How did she get mixed up with him?", Williams asked.
"It's a long story and Smith's Grove is a 150 mile drive", Loomis replied.
Dr.Williams quickly followed him, he had no idea what he was getting himself into, Dr.Hartford caught up with them.
"Where are you going?", he asked.
"Smith's Grove", Williams replied.
"If your going to that nut house, I'm going too", Hartford said.
Rain pelted down as they entered the highway.
"So what did happen last year?", Williams asked.
"On this day, last year, some group of college students were planning to burn the Myers house and only Erin Parker rallied against them. One by one her friends were killed by Michael, two survived of course but she and Michael were badly burned in the fire", Loomis said.
"That's impossible. Michael Myers has nothing left inside of him except the purpose to kill", Williams replied.
"What's her story anyway? Every goddamn kid in Haddonfield believes the Myers house to be haunted and that Michael is the boogieman", Hartford added.
"Erin Parker used to live four houses down and used to leave candy on the door mate. Her parents knew nothing about it. She told me she was picked on in school because of her kindness toward others", Loomis said.
"And look where it got her. Smith's Grove", Hartford said.
Dr. Wynn shut his door to his office, clutching a cup of coffee. Dr. Lees sat in a chair across from Wynn's desk, he too was holding a cup of coffee.
"He's coming back here?"Wynn replied.
"The transfer was made this morning, he'll be here in twenty minutes", Lees said.
"Fucking god. Just when things were getting quiet around here", Wynn said.
"I checked on our newest patient an hour ago", Lees stated.
"Still asleep?"Wynn asked.
"Yeah. I checked her story out and she's a good kid. But what I don't get is how she wound up here? She was better off down in Haddonfield Memorial", Lees said.
"Erin Parker strangled Dr.Spencer out of pure madness. She had no reason. Nothing. I talked to Bob over the phone and he said he's seen nothing like it", Wynn replied.
"Except Myers who butchered his older sister", Lees added.
"Parker has nothing in her recored about stabbing anyone. She's fucking clean. And that's another thing, Sam said he was going to Haddonfield to stop Myers and look what happens, Myers is coming back here and from what I can gather from her report, Erin was at the Myers house when it started to burn", Wynn said.
The button on his phone turned red, Wynn noticed it blinking and pushed it.
"Sir, Dr.Loomis, Dr.Williams and Dr.Hartford are here", a nurse replied.
"Thank you, you can send them in", Wynn said.
A few minutes later, Dr. Loomis and company entered Wynn's office, the two other doctors sat down next to Dr.Lees but Loomis and Wynn remained standing.
"Why didn't you notify me about her transfer?", Loomis asked.
"I did, but they said you'd left already", Wynn said.
The five doctors took an elevator to the third floor, this part of Smith's Grove was the only hospital looking part, they reached the third room. It was dark inside except for the bright lights on the monitors. Loomis and Wynn went into the room, Erin was hooked up to a whole bunch of monitors, she had a tube in her nostrils, patches were attached to her arms and chest, and she was also hooked up to an IV bag.
"She's been fine, nothing abnormal", Wynn replied,"I'll understand if you want to sit with her".
"I do", Loomis said pulling up a chair.
Wynn left the room and the other doctors followed him. When they reached the first floor, two ambulance attendants were standing outside his office.
"We're here to drop off Michael Myers", the male attendant replied.
