I own nothing except a few characters and the plot. Ross and Farrah are the two "Clown Cops" that got pitchforked to death in Halloween 5.

HALLOWEEN: THE SERIES

NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN

HADDONFIELD, ILLINOIS

Brackett drove down a street minding his own business when his car began to fill with smoke. He jumped out and pulled out his phone. The car burst into flames as he called 911.

"This is Leigh Brackett, my car just caught fire on the Post Road." Brackett stood across from the car as a pair of headlights approached him. The approaching vehicle flashed a set of police lights and stopped. Michael got out.

"Don't you have a wife and kid at home?"

"Kelsey wanted a Triple Burger and Large Fries plus something for Josh. She's been eating more lately since she lost her dad. I'm think of telling her that if she doesn't stop eating all the time, she'll look like Jankins." Michael paused and then slapped the back of his own head. Brackett looked at him.

"If she heard that, she'd do the same thing to me." The Fire Department arrived along with a tow truck and a couple of Imperial Army Troopers. Michael turned to the tow truck driver.

"This car gets towed to the Police Station and a release is to be signed by the man at the front desk. This vehicle is evidence." Michael gave Brackett a ride home after dropping the food off for Kelsey who then gave Josh his share of the food. He then spent the next two hours looking over Brackett's car. Something was wrong, Brackett's car shouldn't have caught fire like that. Pete had taught him to trust his gut and his gut told him that Brackett's car was offically a crime scene. Colonel Morlandt came over to him.

"Who's car?"
"Leigh Brackett, caught fire on the Post Road. This model has no known history of suddenly catching fire and something looks out of place under the hood." Michael looked blankly at the remains of the car's engine and transmission.

"Where's Thompson?"

"Full squad took him back to New York to explain his antics to General Felth."

"He's Imperial now?"

"Felth and Bryan Khayman want a full explanation from him. Then NCIS wants one after he decided to obstruct an investigation they were running."

"I guess he's in a ton of trouble without the burglary charge being filed against him here. But, I'll file it anyway so there's a record of some of his stunts here. Do you know what agency he told NCIS he was with? If he started with them after they hired Andros, he would have to keep up the Army Intel story. Before that, he could have told Gibbs anything. But pulling a fast one on Gibbs is basically a death sentence. I once worked a case with him. Tommy had a headache for a week after he left and a concussion too I think."

Tommy walked in the back door of the station. He was late and didn't want Michael to see him. He also noticed Alex was missing from their office.

"Some reason you're late Doyle?" Michael came up behind him and kicked the door closed. This was another one of those private conferences that were best had in an elevator.

"I had to go to the High School this morning. Someone tried to pull Stephen out yesterday using a brilliantly forged note from me. When the guy who had it was called on it, he said he was with Homeland Security and that it was a top secret matter."

"Someone did the same thing with Josh and tampered with Brackett's car."

"I saw it out back. Toasty." Alex walked in.

"Shut the door."

"Elevator conference." Tommy told him.

"Our case at the moment is investigating the CIA's role in covering up Terrence Wynn's terroristic actions among other things. Kelsey knows the details and I told Morlandt about it. Nothing about the CIA leaves this office, Kelsey's lab, or my office. As far as Jankins knows, we're investigating a car fire and two attempted kidnappings."

"Do we think that cult from the old nut house is involved in any of this?" Alex said.

"It's been disorganized since Wynn was killed and the Air Force had a B-2 drop a couple of bombs on Smith's Grove." Tommy slapped Alex for even mentioning the Cult of Thorn.

"It's a viable cover story to the real suspects." Michael said before he opened the door and slapped the back of Tommy's head on the way out.

"Use a phone if you're going to be late. Otherwise, I send Stormtroopers after you."

"You wouldn't? You would." Michael just grinned and walked into his office before walking back out followed by Colonel Morlandt.

"Off to the county center. Imperial Intel put someone on Thompson after they were forced to release him. Then I'm picking something up from Smith's Grove."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Check on Brackett for starters. Then check on Lindsey and all the kids."

Brackett had gone to the station before Tommy had left to check on him.

"You know you're going to have to clean this up before Michael gets back." Tommy was throwing popcorn all over the office he shared with Alex.

"It's Alex's mess."

"Doyle, this would get you cleaning it up and 30 days as a meter maid when I was in charge."

"At the end of the day. Would you rather have me, Alex, and Michael on your force or Ross and Farrah?"

"Given the choice, you three. I believe Kelsey is still here though, and Michael gave her permission to slap you in his place." Tommy grabbed a broom and began sweeping up his mess. Brackett decided to visit Jankins.

"Isn't today Tuesday?" He asked as Jankins ate a frosted donut.

"I'm changing my routine since Michael's taking the donuts away anyway." A man walked in to the station using a cane.

"Jankins, you can put down that donut and finish the paperwork that you still owe me from 20 years ago." Ben Meeker said as he walked over to Brackett.

"I'm not like Ross and Farrah. I handed in my paperwork on time. Pete Hill would slap the back of your head if you didn't do your job right."

"I understand that Michael Myers is the new sheriff." Meeker said

"If you're looking for him, he's at the county complex and then he's going to Smith's Grove. We've had CIA trouble recently." Jankins said.

"Let me guess, a man named Thompson who claims to be a Major in the Army or with some other agency depending on what day of the week it is."

"Actually, he's a Colonel now and probably going to become Michael's next victim." Tommy said as Jankins gave him a dirty look.

"We all heard him threaten to have Thompson carried out in a body bag."
