Dr Loomis panted as he rushed into the sheriffs office. Smalls trails of sweat dripped from his bald head as he walked into the main office of the building. The doctor took notice that their was little police on duty that night as others might have been at home taking their children trick or treating. Or they could just be out looking for those trouble makers that useually come out on Halloween.
"I need to speak with sheriff bracket!"Loomis said while one with dark blond hair turned to him.
"Then you'll need to travel about three thousand miles south of here" He said before turning back to the file that occupied his attention moments ago.
"What?"Dr Loomis asked confused. The officer looked towards Loomis again with a bit of annoyance gracing his features.
"Bracket retired back in 1981, moved away" He said simply before going back to his work.
"Well then who's the new sheriff?"
"I am" Loomis turned to see a tall male figure walk out from one of the darker corners of the office and approach him with his own file in hands.
"Sheriff my name is Sam..."
"Loomis, Yeah cops around here won't forget your face"Sheriff Beaker said while placing the file on a desk. "What brings you back after ten years?"
"Michael Myers has escaped from Richmond, hes here in Haddonfield"Loomis could almost see the fear register in Beaker's eyes before it vanished. The other officers had their attention now focused on Sam.
"Thats impossible Michael Myers is locked up"Beaker said with clear conviction, but Loomis knew while the sheriff's tone was meant to be strong and firm, it had a small layer of doubt underneath it.
"He's here sheriff"Loomis said.
"Why?"Beaker asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Ten years ago, he tried to kill Laurie Strode"Loomis said while brief flashes of the blond woman flew across his mind. He could still remember hearing the sirens as he arrived on the scene to see Laurie's mangled body carried out on a stretcher, just like it had been when she first fought against Michael. Then later on, Loomis was relieved to find out she survived. Laurie knew though that as long as Michael knew she was alive then he would continue to come after her. So she had Loomis report to all the local media's that she had perished in the crash. Laurie had also informed Sam that she had given birth to a baby girl by the name of Jamie a few months back. Laurie told Loomis that she was going to put her up for adoption, knowing that she would be a lot safer with another family then she would with her.
"Now he wants her daughter"Sam finished with a sigh. Beaker could see just by looking in Loomis's eyes how afraid the old doctor was but their held a strong determination as well. Beaker glanced at one of his fellow officers before approaching Loomis.
"You mean Jamie Loyd?"
"Where ever the child is, she is in great danger"Loomis said, his voice soft and quiet.
"Myers has been locked up since before she was born, he's never layed eyes on her"Beaker said before turning his back on Loomis and heading towards his desk. Loomis's frustration began to rise as it seemed no one believed him about his psychopathic patient that was currently about to paint the town red with a fresh coat of blood and mangled limbs.
"Six bodies"Loomis began as his voice rose to a shout, this caught Beakers attention."Sheriff thats what I've seen between here and Richmond! A gas station up in flames. I'm telling you Michael Myers is here in this town!"Loomis began to pound his fist against the small wooden barracade that stood infront of him. "He's here to kill that little girl and anyone who gets in his way!" Sam finished his rant with small breaths while the two sheriff deputies glanced at one another.
"Call the troopers and check this story out"Beaker said to his partner who nodded and went off to make the call. Beaker turned his gaze back to Loomis."And assuming if what your saying is true"
"Its true sheriff!"Sam said persistantly.
"Okay its true"Beaker said while standing inches away from Loomis."How can we avoid a repeated ten years"
"Find the little girl and get her to safety. Call the local news station and tell them to get the people off the street and behind locked doors" Loomis said.
"Can't get long distance sheriff, they say lines are down"Beakers partner said. Beaker looked to Loomis and could almost see the hope grow within the old doctor. Beaker grabbed his keys and coat while Loomis put his gun back in its pouch. Both Beaker and Sam left the station with one destination in mind, Jamie Loyd's house.

The insects that night chirped in a haunting tune as many Jack-O-Launters glowed brightly in the night with plenty of different expressions from silly to happy and of course the ones made to look frightening as well. The brown, orange and red leaves swayed in the wind as a small breeze blew through the air and among the tree's many branches.
Scott smiled as he watched his cousin in her little clown costume run down the steps with a few new pieces of candy in her bag. Jamie definatly liked Halloween a lot more then she had lead on. She was waving her flashlight in a frantic manner as she ran down the sidewalk and quickly approached the next house. Scott and Tina followed after the young girl with a much more casual pace.
"Jamie sure is a cutie in that costume"Tina said.
"Yeah I'm just glad she actually agreed to come out trick or treating, no kid shouldn't enjoy getting free candy"Scott said while Tina giggled before looking over at Scott.
"Well to be honest I'm surprised they still let us celebrate Halloween in this town of ours after what happened ten years ago"Tina said which caught Scott's attention.
"What happened?" He asked truly interested in why a town like Haddonfield would stop celebrating Halloween of all holidays. As they followed after Jamie, fallen leaves crunched underneath their shoes.
"Well I was a little girl back then, I still hardly remember it myself. But apparantly this man, an escaped mental patient from the Smith's Groove Sanitarium killed a few teens from the local highschool before going after his sister. She was wounded and ended up going to the hospital where this killer murdered a few doctors. It was said that the patients doctor set a fire and both nearly burned to death. The sister escaped the fire but she died a few years back in a car wreck"Tina said.
"Sounds just like your adverage ghost story to me Tina" Scott said, remembering all the ghost stories his father used to tell him before he would go to sleep. Tina just shrugged her shoulders.
"Don't believe it if you want but it really did happen"She said and before he could say anything, Jamie walked up to the two.
"So you get enough candy Jamie?" Scott asked.
"No way Halloween is great. Can we stay out all night?"She asked which brought a small giggle from Tina.
"Sorry kid but you have to be home by eight"Tina said while Jamie only nodded her head. The three began to walk across the street to one of the more bigger houses.
"So are you and Tina together. Like Rachel and Brady are?"Jamie asked innocently. Scott scratched the back of his head in embarassment while Tina covered her mouth to hide her laughter.
"Why would you ask that Jamie?"Scott asked while his masked covered cousin looked towards him and Tina.
"I don't know I just feel like you enjoy being around each other"She said before looking back towards her destination, the house that had the candy she wanted. Before Scott could answer, Tina stepped in.
"Me and your cousin Scott here have a very friendly relationship"Tina said while hugging Scott's arm which brought a small blush that dusted Scott's face. Scott would be a liar if he didn't think Tina was cute, hell the girl was absolutely beautiful but after his recent break up with Allison he didn't want to make Tina his rebound girl so to speak, he really wanted to get to know her more.
"That clown costume is really cool"Scott's attention snapped towards the front of them to see a small kid wearing a bright skull mask complementing Jamie on her costume.
"Really?"She asked. Unknown to all, Michael stood off in the darkness as he watched his neice talking with kids her own age. His souless gaze drifted to the two teens that were apparantly her guardians for the evening as he seen no sign of that Rachel girl or her parents. It didn't matter though when the time came the two would be disposed of if they stood between him and Jamie.
Scott and Tina followed the small group of kids as rushed up the flight of steps and rung the doorbell. In moments the door opened to see a blond women dressed in very small shorts and a shirt that said 'Cops do it by the book' in black bold letters. Scott noticed Tina had a frown on her face.
"Hey Tina"The girl said politely. Scott found it odd Tina didn't even acknowledge the girl's presence and simply turned away. The girl frowned before handing out the candy to the eager children. The girl finally set her sight on him and smiled.
"So Tina who's your friend here?"Her eyes were basically taking in Scott and he didn't know if he should have felt embarassed or disturbed that the girl was eyeing him like a piece of meat.
"Don't worry about it, hes mine"Tina said harshly before pulling on Scott's arm. They could hear the door slam shut behind them as they finally got back onto the sidewalk.
"Hey Tina stop dragging me. What the hell was that all about?"Scott asked.
"That girl is the sheriffs daughter and a total bitch! A few years back she spread these awful rumor's about me and made Rachel almost break up with her boyfriend Brady"Tina said and Scott could hear the venom that laced each and every word she said.
"Hey even if she tried anything I wouldn't have went in with her or anything. I don't even know her" Scott said which got a playful smirk from Tina.
"Good because I can't have her trying to take you from me now can I?" She gave Scott a small kiss on the cheek before rushing off after Jamie. Scott stood their with his hand where Tina's lips had been moments ago before a small smile tugged on his lips and he chased after them.

In a bar outside of town, the building was filled with the sound of chatting and beer mugs being slammed against their tables as they finished their drink. The bartender, Earl listened to the news while cleaning out one of the glass mugs with a fresh rag. Something the woman just said caught his attention, she had said for all local buisnesses to close down for the night.
"Hey shut up"Earl said to the people in the bar but he was ignored."Shut up!"He said before turning up the volume on the small television. Earl listened again as the woman repeated that the buisnesses must close down for the night. Earl simply put down his rag before picking up the phone.
"That ain't something old Beaker would do"One of Earl's friends said while Earl chuckled.
"Sure ain't. Aliens could land on Ben's doorstep while he's doing his spit wads and get himself a shotgun"He said while waiting for the station to pick up his call.
"Who you callin?"
"Police station, I'm not closeing down without a good reason" Earl said while the phone continued to ring. This actually had the old bartender a little worried as an officer would useually pick up by the phone by now. His friends noticed something was wrong at the distressed look that grew on their friends face.
"It just rings"He said before placing the phone back down. Earl quickly grabbed a beer before giving it a big chug. The alcohol burned slightly as it slid down his throat. He looked over to his friends who still remained seated. "Well come on" His friends looked at each other before getting up from their seats and following after Earl. Earl stepped out into the night as a small blanket of fog covered the ground.
"Where are we going Earl?"
"Haddonfield,a phone never just rings at a police station" Earl and his buddies quickly hopped in their trucks. The lights on their trucks pierced the blanket of fog like an assassians dagger before they peeled off down the road.

Ben and Sam slowly opened the front door to Jamie's house. Ben had a shotgun in hand incase they did happen to have a run in with Michael. Ben if he remembered correctly would need all the fire power he could carry if he wanted to take down that serial killer. The two slowly creeped up the stairs, their eyes darting across every inch of space they could see trying to find out if they were truly alone in the house.
Sam and Ben opened the first door they could find. Sam flipped the switch and the room was flooded in light. By the looks of it, Sam and Beaker could only guess this was Jamie's room by the many toys she had and the way her bed was colored, it looked just like a little girls room. Sam noticed multiple photos and other junk laying next to a small metal container that was spread out onto the floor next to the bed. Sam's gloved hand reached down and began to rummage through the photos. He could see pictures of Jamie and a few of her mother before a strange smell filled his nose. Sam's eyes drifted to one of the darker corners of the room and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"He's been here" Sam said.
"How do you know that?"Beaker asked before following the direction Sam was looking at. They found a dog laying lifeless in one of the darker corners of the room, its gaze was lifeless and blank. Sam wasn't effected by this but it sent a chill up and down Ben's spine.
"Your starting to spook me Sam"
"At least im not alone" Sam said before the two went back downstairs. Ben ordered one of his officers to stay behind incase the family returned. The two left, they decided they would drive around the neighborhoods and hopefully catch a glimpse of Jamie.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
Something wasn't right, Scott noticed as he watched every light in the neighborhood shut off and the street filled with complete darkness except for the small flashlights that kids were holding. Cars were racing down the street and parents were picking up their kids in a hurried pace. Scott also couldn't shake the feeling that they were being followed but as hard as he tried he couldn't find who ever was following them. He would catch brief glimpses in the corner of his eye but when he turned in the direction, the thing would be gone. Scott tried to sniff out for any abnormal smells but he detected nothing.
"Its sure spooky out here, just us three walking down this empty street and all"Tina commented while looking around fearfully as if something would jump out and snatch her up. She held tightly onto Scott's arm while Jamie was holding his hand. As they walked down the street they could hear small twigs snapping or the rustling of bushes. Suddenly flashes of red and blue pierced the darkness and was coming towards them.
"Hey are those police lights?"Jamie asked.
"Yeah"Scott said as the car parked infront of them before the sheriff and an old man stepped out it.
"Sheriff Beaker whats going on?"Tina asked.
"Just get in the car, come on"The old man persisted while Ben opened the backdoor for them. Jamie was the first to get in, then Tina and before Scott could get in, he heard Ben shouting at the old guy.
"Is that him?!"
"Yes" Sam said and Scott looked over to see a tall figure dressed in a blue jumpsuit with a blank white mask covering his face.
"Loomis"Ben said while pointing his revolver to the right of Loomis. Scott looked to see another man dressed in the same outfit as the other. Thanks to Scott's enhanced hearing he could hear footsteps on the otherside of the squad car and turned to see a third figure once again dressed in the same outfit. Scott didn't know why but his senses were entering the fight or flight mode at the moment. While he didn't want to transform and reveal that he was a Werewolf to his cousin and Tina, he would to protect them. His brown eyes slowly began to morph to a dark golden color. Inside the car, Tina was on the verge of a panic attack and was urging Scott to get in the car. Had she not been so scared, she would have noticed Scott's nails slowly grow and shift to claws.
"Oh christ doc" Ben said while Loomis's face was a mixture of shock and terror.
"Dear god"Sam whispered at the sight of three Michael Myers surrounding them. Sam quickly pulled out his gun and had it aimed at the closest Michael and was about to pull the trigger when Michael started to scream?
"Hey wait don't shoot!"The figure pulled off his mask to reveal it wasn't Myers but a teen. Laughter began to erupt as the other two teens took off their own masks. Each teen took off in a different direction while Ben threatened to arrest them if they didn't go home. Scott quickly morphed his claws back into nails and his eyes changed back to their regular color. Without another word, Scott shut the backdoor of the squad car and comforted Jamie as she seemed to be upset. By what he didn't know.
"You alright doc? We will get these three to safety"Sam agreed with Ben before getting in the car which took off down the road with Ben shouting over the radio for his partner but he recieved no answer, just dead silence.
As the car drove away, nobody noticed the real Michael Myers standing behind in the same spot where moments ago the car had been parked. His form a darkened shadow in the night as it was covered by fog. Michael knew he still had some more work to do if he was planning to get his neice by the end of the night.

Sam and Ben entered the darkened police station and heard the faint beeping sound of a phone off its ringer. But as they approached the office, they walked in to see a scene that could only be described as a pure massacure. Blood painted the walls of the office and it was splattered on many of the desks. Corpses of fellow deputies layed motionless, their eyes glazed with the look of death.
"They didn't give up without a fight"Ben said, his flashlight was the only source of light as the power had been knocked out long ago.
"They didn't know what they were fighting"Sam said while following behind Ben at a much slower pace, inspecting each and every detail of the scene before him. Their shoes stepped and crumpled fallen papers and Sam seen Ben jump in fright. Ben's flashlight was pointed at a corpse who's arm had been completly torn off, leaving a bloody stump behind. Ben could feel his stomach doing flips in his stomach as he resisted the urge to vomit.
"How could a man do this doc, tell me?"Ben asked, his tone while firm held desperation or fear, Sam couldn't tell which. Loomis turned his back and began heading towards the door.
"This isn't a man"
"Then what is he huh?"Ben said before sprinting over to Sam and placed a hand on his shoulder to hold him in place. "What the hell are we dealing with?"
"Evil"Loomis said while releasing himself from Ben's grip and exiting the station with the Sheriff not too far behind.
