Chapter Four

Eleven -Thirty PM

October 31

Jack and three men came off the elevator.

"See what have you done. He did this", Loomis replied.

"He did this because of her.Now I suggest you move aside", Wynn replied.

"You can shoot me all you want, but if you try to shoot her, you wont' live to pull that trigger", Loomis said.

"He's between here and the fourth floor", Jack said.

"Get him to come then", Wynn replied.

"Isn't that a little risky?", Williams asked.

"I don't care. Take him to my office, I want her in one of the hospital rooms", Wynn said.

Loomis could feel Erin's finger nails bitting into his arm, she had already gone through an ordeal, he wasn't going to let that happen again. Loomis pulled out a gun from the inside of this coat pocket.

"We're not going anywhere. Her included", Loomis replied.

"If you put your gun down, I promise she won't get hurt", Wynn replied.

Loomis lowered his gun, "I go with her".

"Fine".

Jack took both guns from Loomis and tied both him and Erin. Loomis was tied to a chair and Erin's hands were bound and she sat up right on the hospital bed back in her room on the fourth floor.

"We've got to get out of this damned hospital", Loomis replied.

"Michael will come. I know he will", Erin muttered.

Loomis didn't say anything, she was still under some sortive heavy sedation, her face was puffy, and her eyes were tired. Suddenly like an automatic switch, all lights went out.

"God help us", Loomis replied.

Erin laid down on her stomach, she got off the bed backwards, almost falling as the bottom of her feet touched the floor, but she was able to keep her balance. She went over to the bathroom door and began to rub the ropes against the edge of the door.

Erin was able to get the ropes loose enough to get them over her hands. Hands free, she went over to Loomis and untied him.

"Good girl", he replied.

He got out of the chair, he went to the door, it was locked from the outside. Erin found her shoes and put them on. She went to her bag and found a bobby-pin that was in the little zipper pocket, she had forgotten it was in there from a while back. She twisted it, so it was upright. She bent down and slowly jingled it into the key hole and wiggled it around but not before hearing a CLICK!

"They'll never know what hit 'em", Loomis said smiling as Erin disposed of the bobby-pin in the trash can just beside the door.

"Let's split up", Erin said but Loomis grabbed her arm.

"Over my dead body. Michael is very dangerous", Loomis replied.

The elevator jingled open but it was Dr.Williams. Loomis and Erin, who had frozen, sighed in relief. They walked over to the elevator.

"Thank you Dr. Williams", Erin replied.

But the Doctor fell face flat on the floor of the elevator. A scalpel was in his back, blood trickled down and spilled onto the floor of the elevator. With effort, the two rolled Dr.Williams onto the fourth floor and closed the elevator doors. Loomis pushed the #3 button. The third floor was still and quiet. The third floor was also filled with patients behind locked doors. Erin gripped Loomis's arm. They rounded the next corner, they were half way to the next elevator when Wynn appeared, Jack appeared at the other end of the hallway.

"Dead End", Wynn replied.
