In an isolated apartment a black haired man looked away from his telescope. Yeah, this probably wasn't the best idea for how to look out for someone. His neighbor probably thinks he's a perv. But to be honest after a phone call from what he thought was a long dead little girl he no longer cared. That fear that terror he heard it before. From his babysitter many years ago desperately banging on the door so he could wake up and let her in. Laure Strode, and now he's heard it from her daughter. That was Jamie Lloyd.
Tommy Doyle drove quietly to the bus station in the early hours of the morning. It's the one place Jamie could have gone to in this town... because it's about the only place left in town that has a roof and a payphone and there was no wind or rain in the phone call. Tommy quietly walked in and saw the police haven't been here yet. So they either didn't find Jamie, she's dead, or she's unconcious. No matter what she didn't talk to the cops yet.
Tommy walked to the payphone the one place he knew Jamie was and all of the sudden the middle option seems like the best answer as he follows a small trail of blood from the phone to the hall. He looked down seeing footprints in trail of mud joining the blood drops about half way through on a path to the bathroom. Tommy focused on the blood until the drops became a small semi puddle. Tommy looked at the sink seeing nothing but a mixture of blood and toilet paper. Like someone was scrubbing at a wound. Whatever happened here he missed it.
Tommy walked out of the building and looked around at the approaching sunlight. Of all the days to be alone in a vacant lot he picks Halloween! That was stupid of him. He walked as fast as he could ot the car trying to prove to himself he was still in some what control. He looked in the back saw nothing and quietly walked to the front seeing nothing. One he was certain all seats were emtpy he got in the car breathing a sigh of relief only to hear voices on his police scanner. The usual rush to a hospital. Hey Jamie's still alive. There's some good news.
Tommy walked into the hosital hearing two security guards talking as he walked in.
"I'm telling you man get a film crew in there, set up some shitty jump scares, and you're set for life." One guard said.
The other shook his head. "I don't know Freddie that just sounds like a shitty thing to do. Especially in a town like this where Haloween is banned because of close to sixty deaths that we know of."
Freddie shook his head. "Shit man, the reality of it will just make it that much more of a cash cow. Besdes were you out there as a teenager no one respects that fucking ban as is. Consider it a desperate action from someone who doesn't want to be a security guard for the rest of his life."
Tommy walked through two things of plastic only for steel doors to drop. He's guessing this was setup in 1979 and for good reason as an alarm started blaring.
The guard pushed a button causing the metal doors to shoot up. "Back behind the line all metal items out of your pocket."
Tommy stepped back and dropped his keys in a plastic tub and walked through the metal detectors again and calmly walked into the hospital not noticing the shadow that as you look more into it you'd start to see a white mask show itself in the dark.
Tommy looked at the buttons on the wall. He studied the hospital head to toe. He pushes 3 because if he's right... that's exactly where Jamie is.
Tommy exits the elevator and quietly walked down the hall and into the maternity wing. He smiled seeing what he was looking for. Seeing a whole lot of square clear boxes with names on them. Inside were adorable little babies some sleeping some crying. But wonderful sounds to a parent... at least for now.
Tommy looked at all the names but saw there simply wasn't one for what he was looking for. Well, so much for that theory.
A nurse smiled seeing Tommy studying all the details he could on the babies one she was sure was his. "Are you looking for your child."
Tommy shook his head. "No, I'm just a friend of the family. Not seeing the baby though."
"What's the baby's name?" The nurse asked looking at the boy with a cute smile seeing none of the newborns are his.
"Lloyd or Carruthers."
The nurse nodded. "Oh, you're looking for the seventh floor. Her boyfriend refused to let the baby be taken from her mother. Once he body slammed a 400 pound orderly and apologized for it we decided not to fight him and the cops cleared things up. So if you're not doing anything I get out in an..." And just that fast Tommy was gone.
Freddie came back to the guards station two cups of coffee in hand. "Dwight, where you at man?" Freddie looked around but nothing. "Hey asshole! You can't leave the gate wide open."
Freddie looked over at the plastic container and saw a red painted knife. Halloween right. "Dwight, man come on. The fucking desk is here so you don't leave the office."
Freddie took a breath of relief seeing his co worker sitting down looking at a monitor. "There you are, what you see something on camera."
Freddie just nudged him and the head tilted backwards showing Freddy his friends bloody face easier to see where glass shards weren't in place. He looked over to the fire emergency set seeing the glass in it broken to shards blood poured all over it leaving the fire extinguisher and the fire hose. He turned for the securtiy panel only to see it cut off seeing Michael Meyers standing between him and the exit the fire axe from the emergency set in his hands.
Freddie looked over at the corner why the hell did he leave his radio there. Freddie quickly entered a fighting stance from one of his old kung fu movies movies. "Alright moth..." The Shape just punched him in the throat causing him to just grab his throat and gasp for a breath that wouldn't come.
The Shape just swung full force at Freddie's gut with the axe as a disgusting thunk was heard and Freddie slumped over gut first as blood poured out from the fresh wound. The Shape grabbed his head with both hands and slammed it on the sharpest side of the control panel killing the security guard instantly.
The Shape simply pulled the axe out and proceeded into the hospital.
Johnathan and Dr. Loomis took a calming breath seeing Jamie and Clark get into the floor below. The two men went for the elevator and quickly hit the down button as they got in. As that elevator went down the elevator holding Tommy arrived. Tommy quickly hopped out and walked to Jamie's room. Inside there was nothing left. Tommy smiled seeing there was nothing left. They already took off.
Tommy looked down and saw Jamie's folder. He gave it a quick skim through seeing an old leg wound and that she gave birth to a baby girl. Laurie has a granddaughter. Ordinarily he'd be happy but this is also further proof to him.
Tommy looked outside the window and saw Dr. Loomis and one of the members of the new family in town. Bright side to Haddonfield, it's like Cheers everyone knows your name and if not you can find out soon enough.
Tommy went back for the elevator and saw the door to the side start to open. Knowing of only one person who wouldn't take an elevator he quickly hopped into the nearest room.
Michael looked around for only a moment before walking forward. Michael walked to the bed seeing it empty he checked the door to the bathroom seeing it's empty. Michael walked to the window seeing the boy from earlier and just kept a silent watch as he put Jamie and the baby into the car and they were off.
Tommy snuck quietly out of his room at the same time as Michael. Tommy took one look at the Shape and ran for the steps. The Boogeyman of old is after him again. Tommy bolted down the steps the Shape following right behind him. He quickly reached the bottom and ran for the security entrance he came in through. He's only getting one shot at this. The Shape rapidly approached the tiring Tommy as the young man made it to the security desk and ran right through the metal detector. He looked at the box and saw his keys and a bloody knife Michael gave up to get into the building. Tommy quickly grabbed the knife and threw it through the metal detector.
The Shape walked up to the door only for the metal grates to fall at his feet creating a metal wall between him and Tommy.
Tommy quickly ran out of the office before the gates dropped on him and got to his car. He quickly broke every traffic law known to man and got onto the highway.
Author Notes
Thanks for reading and the reviews
Playing Tommy as a hybrid of a proto Edward from Twilight mixed with Hannibal Lector, adding in a bit of ant man in the theatrical cut was an interesting choice from Paul Rudd. Can't say it was good... but it was a choice.
Halloween Resurrection such a lazy movie they didn't even hire a screamer for a final girl. If I ever wrote a Halloween fic I swore I'd erase it ASAP
