Alleyway at 32nd Street
Manhattan
HALLOWEEN
Jake and Daniel walked down the dark alleyway, which was now covered in police tape and lit up with artificial lighting. Lopez looked up from the body in the trash and walked over to them. "Where the hell have you been?" he asked them, glancing at the next body along.
"We got here as soon as possible." Daniel answered. "It's about one in the damn morning."
"Halloween." Jake added. "We can expect a lot more of this if Myers is alive."
"Right now I don't care. I got four dead bodies down here, and it's not pretty." Lopez replied.
"Who have we got?" Jake asked, looking down at the man leaned up against the wall.
"Three of these guys have done time before. Not exactly crying about it." Lopez answered, pointing at three of the bodies. "There's also a woman over there. Someone somehow managed to shove an empty beer can straight through her face. So we can't tell who it is."
"Through her face?" Daniel asked. "Jesus. That must've taken some strength." Jake walked past Lopez, and towards the body bag in the center of the alleyway.
"You don't want to see it, trust me." Lopez called. Jake ignored him and unzipped the black bag to look at the corpse. As Lopez had said, a beer can was lodged firmly into the woman's skull, taking the place of what should have been her face.
"Christ." Jake murmured, covering the head back up. "This was him. We've got basically 23 hours to find him, stop him and figure out a way to destroy him."
"This wasn't some ghost." Lopez argued. "It was a man, maybe more.
"Look at her face." Jake replied calmly. "You're trying to tell me one man did this?"
"Maybe a drug user." Daniel stated. Lopez nodded.
"Whoever it was, we are going to find him and either bust him or kill him."
"You can't do either, I keep telling you!" Jake shouted. "I know who killed these people, and I'm going to find out how to stop him, with or without your help."
"Fine." Lopez replied. "Let's say it is Myers, but lets do something now instead of arguing! Now, do you have any idea where he'll be going?"
"Do you know of any large parties tonight? Teenagers?" Jake asked him. Lopez shook his head.
"No. There's bound to be a lot though." he replied.
"Then I think we'd better find out what he's doing here." Jake stated. "We'll see you at the precinct later." he added, then him and Daniel walked back to the car. Lopez watched them leave the crime scene, then walked over to another body.

Pete Tomlinson's house
Manhattan
The alarm rang out, waking Pete from his sleep. He yawned, then looked around. He groaned, then sat up, before getting out of bed and start getting dressed. Before he could get changed, he heard the phone ring. He remembered his mother was out, so quickly ran down the stairs and answered it. "Hello?" he said, sitting on the bottom step.
"Hey, we're now gonna come over, ok?" Bill told him. "We'll be there in about half an hour."
"Ok then." Pete replied. "See you in a bit." He hung up, and ran back upstairs. He walked into his room and grabbed some clothes, quickly putting them on. Halfway through dressing, he walked back down the stairs and opened a cupboard. He stared into it for a while, before finally pulling out a packet of potato chips. He opened it, and stuffed a handful into his mouth, then returned to his room to finish dressing.
Pete was sitting on the couch watching television when the doorbell rang. He jumped up and opened the door. A man in complete black and a white mask stared at him. He didn't move at all. Pete jumped back, and Bill pulled off the mask, laughing.
"A bit jumpy today, are we?" he mocked, walking in. Zoe was behind him, laughing slightly. Pete closed the door, breathing outwards fairly loudly.
"You know that's a pretty good way to get your ass kicked." Pete told his friend.
"Yeah, yeah." Bill replied, sitting down. Zoe sat beside him, leaving Pete with the armchair.
"Where's Kylie?" Pete asked, trying hard not to show the fact he liked her to Zoe.
"She's gonna meet us there. She's got stuff to do at her house." Zoe answered. "Why?"
"Just wondering." Pete replied, looking at the television screen. He could tell Bill was grinning out of view, he knew him too well. "What's going on today anyway? What's with you being here so early?"
"Gotta buy some drinks and stuff, get ready, all that crap." Bill answered.
"Ok." Pete said. "Drinks?" Bill pulled a small card from his pocket and showed him.
"Got my fake I.D." he told him, smiling. Pete nodded.
"It better work." he stated. Bill replaced the card in his pocket.
"It will. Trust me." he said, smiling.

New York Police Department
New York
Jake sat down opposite Lopez at his desk, with Daniel pulling up a chair from nearby. "Take a look at this." he said. He handed a file over to Lopez, who took it without saying anything. He opened it to see a diagram, probably drawn by Jake, and underneath was papers on the history of individual people.
"What's this?" Lopez asked, still reading it.
"Look here." Jake told him, pointing at one part of the diagram. "I've been looking into Myers' past. Turns out that he not only had a sister, but a brother as well. He was born after Myers was put away."
"So he's looking for his brother?" Lopez asked, looking up.
"He's gonna have trouble, because he's dead. He died just before Myers escaped for the second time, after the alleged death of Laurie Strode."
"Then what's all this about? How do we find who he's looking for?" Lopez sat back in his chair, thinking this was going nowhere. That the agents were clutching at straws.
"His brother, Henry Strode, had a son shortly before his death. Pete Tomlinson. Lives right here in New York." Jake answered. Lopez looked at him.
"Maybe. We'd better find this kid soon." he said, standing up. He took out Pete's section from the file, and looked at the address. He looked at the agents again, who were now stood up. "We don't have all day, come on!" he stated, walking past them. The two agents followed him through the police station, and to the car park.

Youth Center
Manhattan
Pete, Bill and Zoe stopped just outside the door to the youth center. The halloween party had just started, and the three were all in their costumes. Bill still had his mask off, waiting to enter the building. Pete looked around anxiously. "Where's Kylie?" he asked, not looking at the other two.
"She should be here." Zoe replied. "Maybe she's already inside."
"We'll go have a look." Bill stated. "Wait here incase she turns up for a while." he said to Pete. He nodded, and Bill slid the mask over his face. "See you in a minute." he said, and he and Zoe walked into the Youth Center. Pete looked around again, and leaned up against the wall. His wolfman costume was fairly warm, so the cold air of the coming night didn't affect him much, only his face, which was still uncovered.
"Hi." Kylie's voice came suddenly, almost startling Pete. He looked to his side and saw Kylie dressed in her mummy outfit.
"Hi." Pete answered. "You look good." he added, then felt stupid for saying it so obviously. She smiled happily at him.
"Thanks. You too." she replied. Pete smiled slightly back.
"The others are in there already. Shall we go find them?" he asked. Kylie nodded.
"Yeah, ok." she answered. Pete led the way into the building, which was becoming steadily busier. They didn't see a tall, shady figure nearby, wearing an almost identical costume to Bill. It didn't move or make any noise as more teenagers walked past it.
