Chapter Three

Eleven -fifteen PM

October 31

A half an hour passed by, maybe two hours, Loomis looked down at this watch, it was well past eleven. He looked to his left, Erin was still asleep, he couldn't tell if she was really asleep or if she was faking. It didn't matter, he had to admit that Dr. William s's idea was starting look pretty good but he knew Michael would just follow them, a couple of matches and a gun didn't stop him before and it wouldn't stop him now.

"This is getting us no where", Loomis thought.

Dr. Wynn and Dr. Williams came into the room, followed by Jack and a few men. Dr. Hartford was not among them, nor Dr. Lees.

"Dr. Lees and Hartford are watching the monitors in the surveillance room with a couple of guards. But I have to tell you that someone got to the phone lines and their down", Wynn said.

"Fuck", Loomis muttered, "Do we have a back up generator if the power goes out?".

"Yes. Now what do you suppose we do?", Wynn asked.

"Keep acting like everything is fine. But don't let your guard down. We need to find him", Loomis said.

Wynn and them left the room, Loomis looked back at his suppose patient. She was asleep. He looked at the monitor, her numbers were climbing again. Although Loomis didn't want to chance it, when she had woke up last time, Michael broke out and now he was loose in the asylum. It was the only way and he knew it.

"Wake up", he said shaking her shoulder.

Her numbers fell on the monitor, she rolled her head to one side. Her eyes opened and she yawned. She then stared at him.

"What's going on?", she asked sleepily.

"Nothing. Everything's alright", Loomis said.

Erin sat up, she tried not to laugh. She looked around, Loomis put his hand inside his coat pocket.

"Where am I?", she asked.

"Smith's Grove", Loomis said.

He got up and moved towards the door, he shut it . He moved the chair so that it was on the other side of the bed so he was facing the door.

"How come the phone's don't work", Erin said picking up the wall phone.

"They've been disconnected", Loomis said.

Before they could blink, the power was cut, he felt her jump and put her hand on his arm.

"Don't worry, the back up generator will come on", Loomis said.

The hallway lights came on, flickered and then were out again. The only lights that were on were the flood lights in the corners of the hallways.

"The flood lights and the elevators are working, he'll make sure of that", Loomis muttered.

Downstairs, Wynn and Williams stood inside the office, Jack who was head of the Smith's Grove grave yard shift, came into the office.

"Hartford and Lees are dead, along with two of my men", Jack said.

"That's it. I've had enough of this nonsense. I'm going out there and taking care of this problem myself. Myers is after that girl, I'll give him what he wants", Wynn said.

He opened up the top drower of his desk and took out a gun.

"Where are you going?", Williams asked following.

"Jack, round up your men and wait on the third floor. Williams and I will bring Loomis and the girl down. You hold Loomis here in my office, I put the girl in one of the rooms. Myers gets what he wants", Wynn replied.

"Yes sir", Jack replied.

Michael used the back stairs, he had been listening by using the monitors, he went up another flight. He came to the fourth floor, Wynn and Williams were coming from the other direction. Michael went back down to the third floor and hid himself in a unoccupied-occupied room. Wynn and Williams put their guns away, the guns were if they ran into Myers. Wynn opened the door to the hospital room.

"We need to come down to my office", Wynn said, "I have my men waiting on the third floor, if Myers tries anything".

With Erin still gripping his arm, Loomis followed by the two doctors down to the third floor but a blood massacre had already started. Loomis pulled out his own gun, he made sure to carry two, fully loaded.

"What do you think you were doing?", Loomis snapped.

"Taking care of business", Wynn said taking out his own gun.
