Chapter 12: House Arrest
Dan fumbled with the lock on the school door as Jesse screamed, "He's coming!"
Stephen was tugging on Dan's pant leg and crying and Dan could almost here the Shape's
breathing. Just as he was about to turn the key in the lock, Officer Starks appeared at the
other side of the door. "Get down!" he shouted as he lifted up his rifle. The three kids
dropped to the floor and Jesse wrapped her arms around Stephen as Starks fired the gun.
Glass flew everywhere as the door shattered. The bullet hit Michael right in the chest and
sent him flying off his feet. He fell to the ground with a mighty thud and moved no more.
Dan got up and frantically pulled Jesse and Stephen with him. Starks yelled to
them, "C'mon! Hurry up!" They climbed under the chained lock, still intact with the key
hanging in the lock. Jesse ran out of the school and immediately over to a bush to throw
up. She was heaving and sobbing, the image of Sara's head being twisted still fresh in her
head. She could still here the sickening snap her neck made when Michael yanked it
around. Stephen walked over to Jesse and hugged her back while she coughed. He had
teary eyes but was strangely transfixed. Dan brushed some glass of his shoulder and
looked to officer Starks, "What are you doing here! How did you know!?" Starks quickly
answered, "Your parents wanted me to tail you, Sheriff sent me to make sure you guys
were safe. Guess I came just in time, I saw your other friend fall, he-oh shit…" Starks was
looking back into the school. Dan turned his head and became pale at the sight ahead of
him. Michael was gone.
Jesse sat up and wiped her lips, she turned to Stephen and hugged him tightly,
"Are you ok baby?" He nodded slowly, "Where's the boogeyman?" Jesse stood up, still
clutching Stephen, and walked over to Dan. She saw him staring in the school and turned
to look. She gasped when she saw the Shape not there. "Where'd he go?" Starks took his
walkie talkie off his belt and turned it on, "Starks here. Over. I'm at the high school with
Dan Strode, Jessica Taylor and Stephen Doyle. They're ok but the others are dead. I need
immediate back up, Michael is….he was…I shot him. He's still on the loose." Starks
reloaded his rifle and looked to the kids, "Now don't panic, we just have to wait, the
other's should be here in just a minute." Jesse looked around and shouted, "What others?
We need to get outta here like now! Where's your car!?" She took off running and Starks
shouted after her, "You don't wanna do that, it's not a pretty sight!" Dan grabbed his
brother by the arm and took off after Jesse.
Jesse ran down the side of the school. Where the hell was Miles, had he gotten
out? Maybe he ran for help. Oh god, Sara was dead, and Ms. Harris! Jesse tried to push
those images out of her head. Just have to get to the car and everything will be ok. We'll
get out of here and we'll be safe again. She turned a corner and saw the car off in the
distance. A hopeful smile spread across her face as she ran towards the back parking lot.
We'll be home soon and this nightmare will be over. She stopped dead in her tracks about
twenty or so fee from the squad car. Jesse's eyes watered and she placed her hands over
her mouth to hold back the scream. She started shaking her head, "No….god, no…" She
started backing up. Dan and Stephen had caught up with her and she walked right into
Dan. She turned around and started sobbing on his shoulder. He looked over her and his
stomach filled with cement. Miles, his best friend, the one who had helped him for the past
two years. The only guy who stuck by him even after he treated him like shit. Miles,
covered in blood and glass lay on the hood of officer Starks' squad car. His head and
shoulders pushed through the windshield, his arms twisted behind him. Jagged cuts
sprinkled upon his face as he lay silently looking down.
Officer Starks finally caught up to them and looked away in remorse, "I tried to
warn you…" The sound of sirens could be heard in the distance and Starks taped Dan on
the shoulder. The boy looked up to the officer, still clutching his broken girlfriend. "The
cops are here, we'd better get you guys home." Dan led Jesse out to the front of the
school. Starks picked Stephen up. The little boy just stared blankly at the carnage on the
cop's car.
Cole led the kids over to another squad car which had just pulled up by the school.
Two more were parked behind it. Sheriff Grayson got out and ran over to Starks, "Cole,
what the hell happened here!?" Starks shook his head and brushed his brow, "Michael…"
Sheriff Grayson walked over to the front door of the school and looked at the glass. Cole
looked up to his boss, "Mark, I had to. The kids, they were trapped." Mark smiled and
nodded, "It's ok Cole. Just get those kids back home." Cole nodded and went over to
another officer who was helping Dan and the others into the back of a squad car. Stephen
looked over to the Sheriff, his eyes glossy and blank.
Mark waved but the boy just stared at him as the car pulled out of the driveway
and took off. Mark crossed his arms as he looked at the carnage in the school.
"Henderson, what's the count so far?" Sheriff Grayson climbed under the chain and
entered the school. He turned his flashlight on as two deputies walked over to him. They
lowered their flashlights as Henderson answered, "Three sir. We got Miles Bartram out in
back on Cole's car. Sara Moyer, as you can see is up there." He pointed to the top of the
stairs and Mark looked up to see Sara's body lying. Mark started walking up the stairs. He
stepped over Sara's body and looked back as the other deputy followed, "Gibbs? Any sign
of Myers yet?" Deputy Gibbs shook his head, "Sorry sir, I got two teams scouting the area
around the block but no trace of him yet." Mark looked around at the top of the stairs.
Henderson followed Gibbs and the two walked up behind Sheriff Grayson, "Hell of
a mess eh Mark." Mark nodded to Henderson, "She the other one?" He pointed to Ms.
Harris' body and Henderson nodded. "Elizabeth Harris 43, she's been teaching here for
fifteen years." Mark walked over to her and knelt down over her, he had known Elizabeth,
they had gone to high school together. "Chain of events gentlemen?" Gibbs got out his
clip board and Henderson started walking the sheriff through it, "From the looks of it, he
came up behind her and stabbed her, then threw her into the fire alarm. That would explain
how it went off." Henderson pointed his flashlight at the fire alarm which had a blood
mark on it.
Mark turned and walked over to the edge of the steps, right next to Sara's body.
He knelt down and examined the girl's back, "She was stabbed too?" Gibbs peered down
from his clipboard and checked Sara's back, "Looks like it sir." Henderson flashed his
light at them and Mark winced, "Would you get that outta my face?" Henderson quickly
lowered his flashlight, "Sorry sir." Mark turned back to Sara's body, he looked at the
blood on her back and noticed a trail leading over to where Henderson was standing.
Mark looked up at the deputy, Henderson shrugged, "What?" Mark looked back to the
edge of the stairs and saw a second blood spatter sitting a good three feet away from
Sara's body with no trail leading to it.
Mark stood up and started speaking, "This blood on Sara, it was on her all the way
over to the stairs." Mark trailed the blood and walked up to Henderson, he used his hands
to position Henderson in the right place, "She was stabbed here." Henderson looked down
at the beginnings of the trail. Mark slowly guided the deputies through the scenario while
Gibbs jotted it down on his clipboard, "She was still alive. She…fell, started crawling. But
the knife…was" Gibbs looked up at the sheriff when he paused, "Sir?" Mark looked at
them both, "The knife was pulled out." He turned and walked over to the second blood
spatter, "This puddle doesn't match with the trail, see, it doesn't have a path to Sara. The
knife was pulled out and thrown." Mark knelt down and examined the puddle, "Myers is
still missing…where's the knife?"
Officer Starks was sitting in the passenger seat of the squad car. A second officer
drove, he was quiet and Starks could tell he was concerned. Truth be told, Starks himself
was concerned. How could he have let Michael get into the school, he should have been
more careful. Cole looked in his rearview mirror and saw the three kids sitting quietly in
the back. Jesse's face was wet from crying, her head lying on Dan's shoulder. Dan himself
was looking at Stephen with a tired, worried look in his eyes. Stephen just sat on the right
side, staring out the window as trees passed them by on the road. Cole felt his paternal
instincts kick in and spoke up, "We'll uh, be back to your' house soon. There's an officer
keeping an eye on the place and your neighbor has been notified and is waiting for you.
We've contacted your parents Jessica, we'll drop you off at home first. We're still trying
to contact your parents Dan." Dan looked at Starks with weary eyes, he didn't speak.
Cole knew these kids had been through an ordeal and were still in shock.
The car pulled up in front of Jesse's house and she got out, she looked at Dan and
he gave her hand a gentle squeeze. She smiled and a tear fell from her eye, "Miles…" Dan
nodded, "It'll be ok, I promise." Jesse let go and headed up to her front door. Her parents
were waiting and came rushing out to hug her. Jesse looked back at Dan as they drove off.
Stephen hadn't said a word since they left, he clutched his pumpkin bag tightly, his
knuckles white from the force of his grasp. Dan noticed this and grasped his brothers
hands in his own. They arrived back at their house and saw another squad car parked in
the driveway. Cole got out and opened the door for Dan and Stephen, he looked at the
driver, "Head back to the school, tell the Sheriff to keep a com link open for us. I'll stay
with Merrick." The other cop nodded and drove off. Cole held his rifle over his shoulder,
he walked up to the front door and knocked. Officer Dave Merrick answered the door and
greeted Cole, "Are the kids alright?" Cole stepped aside so Dan and Stephen could enter
their home. He watched as Diane jumped up from the couch and ran to embrace them,
"Oh god kids, I'm so sorry! Are you dears alright?" Cole stood in the doorway, "I don't
know, they survived that's the important thing." Merrick nodded and went over to the
recliner where his rifle was lying. He picked it up and headed over to the kitchen, "I'm
going out back to keep watch. I want you to stake out the front Starks." Cole nodded as
Merrick went out the kitchen door.
Cole looked over to Diane who was patting Stephen's head soothingly. He smiled,
"I'm sure sheriff Grayson will get a hold of Thom and Kara as soon as he can. Keep an
eye on them ok?" Diane nodded and Cole turned around and headed outside. Diane
waited for the door to shut before she walked over and doubled the locks. She turned and
looked at the two boys, "Just being safe."
Ridgemont Sanitarium
October 31st 2004 7:40
"Who's Wynn?" John was looking back and forth between Kara and Thom. Kara
had blurted out the name and startled everyone, especially Lindsay. How did Kara know
Dr. Wynn? "Dr. Wynn, Terrence Wynn, he's the head of Smith's Grove Sanitarium as well
as liaison to medical facilities throughout Warren County. He's also" Thom blinked,
"Your boss. Son of a bitch, the bastard is your boss." Lindsay shut the filing cabinet
drawer and folded her arms, "Thom, I don't understand what you and Kara are so
concerned about." Kara turned red and her hands started to shake, "That bastard tried to
take my sons!" Thom went over to hold Kara and turned to Lindsay, "Wynn is behind
Michael's entire existence." Lindsay looked at him incredulously, "Are you insane? Dr.
Wynn has been the head of the Myers investigation since 1992! He was a friend of Dr.
Loomis' and he's been trying to capture Michael to prosecute him!"
Kara broke Thom's embrace and stormed over to Lindsay, "I don't know what
kind of crap he's been feeding you but your good doctor has been manipulating Michael
since he was a child. He's the leader of the Thorn cult for god's sake!" Lindsay backed up
and braced herself against a nearby filing cabinet, "Your wrong…he's trying to help…"
Kara raised her arms and her eyes widened, "He's a madman Dr. Wallace! Don't you get
it!? He's responsible for everything, Jamie, Stephen, John and his mother. He tried to
curse my son! He made him do this!" Kara ripped her blouse collar and revealed the scar
on her chest, the one her son had given her whilst under the influence of Wynn. "He's evil,
more so than Michael."
Lindsay started to realize what had been happening. Wynn had played her, all
along he was just using her for his own agenda. Wynn had used Lindsay and his
knowledge of her past to gain information on Michaels victims. "Shit…" Lindsay was
biting her lip, she looked at John who was staring right at her. "John….I, I didn't know."
John was trying to with hold his rage and pain as he spoke, "You were with her, with my
mother. You gave her to him. You led Wynn to her, you led Michael to her!" John was
shaking and Lindsay lifted her arms in defense, "I swear I have been trying to help. I tried
getting through to your mother, I tried to get her to break free from her isolation."
Thom's cell phone rang. He answered it, "Hello? WHAT!? Oh my god, are they
ok!? Fuck, we're on our way." Thom hung up and grabbed Kara by the arm, his face
white as a ghost, "We have to go now!" Kara put her hands over her mouth, "The
kids….what happened Thom." Thom didn't speak, Kara shook his shoulders, "What
happened!?" Thom looked at the trio, "Miles and Sara are…dead." John's eyes grew
wide, he shouted in rage and bashed his fist against a nearby filing cabinet. The impact
echoed through the room. Lindsay closed her eyes and silently cursed herself for trusting
her boss. She knew there had to have been something else going on, why would Wynn
want to gather everyone, and tonight of all nights!
John had tears in his eyes, another member of his own flesh and blood was
slaughtered at the hands of his bastard uncle. His mother, the sister he never knew, know
Sara…they were all dead. He glared at Lindsay, "You knew! You KNEW!" He stormed
over to her, Lindsay leaned up against the cabinet and started to quiet down, "I didn't
know…I didn't know…" John was screaming in her face, "You knew she was in his
bloodline and you didn't tell her, you didn't warn her!" Thon ran over and stepped in
between them. He looked up at John who was breathing hard and tightening his fists in
anger, "Damnit John we don't have time for this! The others are in danger now, we left
them. Oh god, Kara…the kids, they're defenseless against him." Kara started looking
around and glared at Lindsay, "We need to get back to town now! How long of a drive
was it, 45 minutes? Lindsay, did you know this was going to happen?" Lindsay looked
appalled, "Of course not, how could any of you think that! I swear to god I had no idea
what Terrence was planning. The bastard played us all!" John was calming down and
focused on one thing now, "He have to help the kids…Stephen, he's a target."
Haddonfield IL
October 31st 2004 7:50 pm
Diane had put a kettle of milk on the stove and was preparing some hot cocoa for
the boys. Dan was sitting on the couch with Stephen next to him. They were watching a
Halloween movie on TV. Neither one of them was paying attention to the TV though,
Stephen was having memories of the shadow man again. Dan was thinking about Miles
and the horrible things he'd said to him before he had died. Diane came out of the kitchen
with a tray in her hands. She had poured three cups of cocoa and set them on the tray,
"Ok boys, this should warm you up a bit." She set the tray down and Dan took a cup. He
handed a smaller cup to Stephen who grasped it in both hands. Stephen took a sip. Diane
shivered, it had been raining earlier today but it had stopped a while ago. Now the
temperature had dropped and a cold breeze had taken a hold of the town. She went back
to the kitchen and poured some cocoa into two thermoses. She unlocked the kitchen door
and stepped outside.
Diane immediately shivered, she stepped off the porch and scanned the backyard
for deputy Merrick. She saw him standing under the boys' tree house. Thomas had helped
them build it three summers ago. Merrick was standing guard at the base of the tree.
Diane wrapped her arms around her, al she was wearing was her red sweater and it wasn't
enough to warm her up. She sauntered on over to the deputy, thermos in hand. "Officer?
It's pretty cold out here so I made you some cocoa." Merrick lifted his finger up to
his mouth and signaled for her to speak more quietly. She spoke more softly as she neared
him, "Sorry, are you doing ok? Any sign of trouble?" Merrick took the thermos and set his
rifle down, "No ma'am nothing yet. We don't know for sure if anything will happen but
it's better to be safe." Diane nodded, "Did sheriff Grayson get a hold of Kara and the
others?" Merrick nodded and smiled, "Yep, sure did. Just got off the radio with him a few
minutes ago, said they were on their way. Should be back in an hour or so." Diane gave a
sigh of relief, "Oh thank heavens. Well, I'm going to see if officer Starks wants something
to drink. Don't freeze to death out here ok?" Merrick took another gulp of the steaming
cocoa and smiled, "Thanks Ms. Hopkins."
Diane headed back into the house and saw the two costumed youths drinking their
cocoa. It was getting chilly in the house so she walked over to the fire place. She used the
fire poker to brush some wood around and get the fire going some more, "That's better."
Dan had taken his leather trench coat off and wrapped it around Stephen. The white make
up on his face was smudged as a result of sweat and tears. The black streaks on his face
had smeared under his eyes giving him a very ghostly visage. Stephen had taken the clown
mask and stocking cap off awhile ago. His dark hair was messy from the cap and Diane
smiled at the sight of them sitting there. "What are you guys watching?" Dan brushed a
golden lock from his face as he looked up at Diane, "Frankenstein." Stephen watched as
the monster on TV sat up. The mad doctor laughed and Stephen just rolled his eyes.
Diane walked out to the front entrance and stepped outside. She found Starks
sitting in Merrick's squad car and knocked on his window. He turned and on rolled it,
"Need something?" She smiled and handed him the second thermos, "Thought you might
need something." He smiled and gratefully accepted the drink. "You'd better get back to
the kids." She smiled and turned back to head in.
Stephen's cat Jonesy came over to him and started rubbing up against his leg. He
picked the cat up and set him on his lap. "Nice kitty." Stephen started patting the cat. Dan
smiled at his brother's innocence. Such a gentle boy. How could he be related to such a
ruthless killer. Dan thought about this as Diane came in. She saw Jonesy with Stephen and
asked, "Where's the other one?" Dan looked around and turned to Diane, "Zoe probably
went upstairs or outside."
Deputy Starks sat in the car drinking his cocoa. He was intent on staying focused.
He looked over to the house and the surrounding trees. He thought for an instant that he
saw he shape of a man walking behind the trees. Starks blinked and looked again. No sign
of anyone. Starks got out of the car and slowly started to walk over to the trees. He aimed
his rifle as he neared the trees. He got out his flashlight and turned it on. There wasn't a
person in sight. He started walking along the side of the house and heard a branch snap
behind him. He whirled around and aimed his rifle. Nothing. Starks turned his flashlight off
and started backing up, if someone was back here he didn't want to give away his location
just yet. He continued backing up not realizing someone was behind him. A shadowy
figure loomed behind him and Starks backed up right against him. He jumped and turned
around, "Jesus Merrick you scared the shit out of me!" Merrick took a drink of his cocoa
and shrugged, "Sorry man. Trade sides?" Starks nodded, "Sure, keep an eye on the kids
ok?" Merrick waved a hand as he headed for the front of the house. Starks, now more
jumpy, headed into the back yard.
Merrick walked into the front yard and saw that Diane had shut the curtains,
"Great…" He turned around and tripped over a toy on the ground. He spilled some of the
cocoa on his jacket, "Oh shit." Merrick heard a noise coming from the trees he had just
passed. He turned and looked at the driveway where his car stood quietly. Starks had left
the door open, "idiot." Merrick rolled his eyes but jumped when another sound came from
the trees. He got his flashlight out and headed over to the trees. He got to the trunks and
looked up into the leaves above him. All he could see was damp orange and red leaves.
Merrick turned around to head back when he bumped into Zoe. "What the hell are you
doing out here cat?" Zoe turned and ran over to the car. He jumped into the squad car and
sat down in the passenger seat. Merrick scratched his brow and realized the noises must
have come from the cat. He walked over to the car and flashed his light at the cat, "C'mon
get out of there." The cat quietly hissed. Merrick looked down at the cat's paws and
noticed how red they were. He leaned in closer and realized the cat was blood on it's
paws, "Oh my god…" Merrick realized something was wrong. He reached into the car
and pulled out the radio receiver. He turned it on and pulled the cord back a bit, "Sheriff,
it's Merrick. Over. I think Myers is at the Doyle residence, get someone down here now!"
Zoe started hissing more and backed up into the corner of the passenger seat.
Merrick noticed this and looked at the cat. It's fur was on edge and it was
growling at Merrick, "What's wrong?" He got back on the radio, "I repeat, suspect might
be at the-" a hand shot out from behind Merrick and grabbed the radio cord. Another hand
wrapped the cord tightly around Merrick's neck. Merrick fell to his knees and gasped for
air. He looked up and saw the Shape's pale mask looking down at him. The shape pulled
on the cord more and it tightened around his neck. Sheriff Grayson's voice came over the
receiver hanging by Merrick's chest as he was slowly being strangled with it, "Merrick?
I'm sending back up, just hang in there ok?" Merrick's eyes bulged and his face turned
purple. The last thing he saw was Michael's white mask blurring out of focus. The sound
of Zoe hissing faded into darkness as Merrick's heart slowed down. He felt his body
shutting down and felt darkness consume him. Michael just stared at him through
blackened eyes. He watched the deputy struggle some more then fall limp as he held the
cord tightly around the man's neck. Merrick stopped moving, his mouth hanging open, his
tongue swollen. Michael let go and the body fell to the ground. He looked into the car as
Zoe continued to hiss.
Diane was sitting on the couch reading a romance novel as the boys continued to
watch Frankenstein on TV. She looked up at the clock, it was going on eight o'clock,
where were Kara and Thom? Diane looked over to the boys, Stephen had fallen a sleep
and was quietly slumbering next to Dan. Dan himself was getting droopy eyed. Diane
spoke up, "How is Jesse doing? Is she going to be ok?" Dan's eyes shot open and he
turned to look at Diane, "I don't know, I hope so. She's going to call later and maybe
she'll come over to keep us company." Diane stood up and gathered the cups of cocoa
and set them back on the tray. "Want any help?" Dan offered and Diane accepted. They
stood up and gathered the dishes. Jonesy woke up and jumped down from Stephen's lap.
He scampered over to the kitty door in the kitchen and went outside.
Starks was walking the perimeter of the back yard when Jonesy came outside.
Cole didn't notice the cat, he was busy flashing his light up at the tree house. He followed
the light and saw a clothesline connecting from the tree house to the attic window of the
house. Cole smiled at the sight of the tree house. He turned around and saw a shadowy
figure standing at the kitchen door looking in. Cole tensed up, he realized who the figure
was. It was Michael Myers, he was peering in to the house, staring at Diane and Dan
putting dishes away. They didn't have a clue he was right outside. Cole had to do
something, he couldn't let Michael get into the house, not like last time at the school. He
wouldn't fail this time. Cole quietly aimed his rifle at Michael and started walking forward.
He was silently praying to himself. Don't let him hear me, please god just give me one
clear shot.
Diane washed the cups in the sink while Dan dried them off. He needed something
to do, anything to keep his mind off of the situation. Little did they know that the situation
was right outside looking in at them.
Cole was only inches away from Michael's back, he aimed the rifle at the shape's
head and set his flashlight on his belt. Cole looked down for just an instant and saw it. His
stomach churned and he let out a gasp. It was all Michael needed, he turned around and
grabbed Cole by the throat. Cole dropped the rifle and tried to break free. He looked back
at the red mess sitting at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at Michael who was using
his free hand to pull his mask back down. Cole had interrupted a private moment for
Michael and now he would pay. Cole interrupted Michael's feeding time. The deputy
watched in horror as Michael plucked the flashlight from his own belt. This couldn't
happen, Cole had to protect these people, they were going to die if he didn't do
something. Michael raised the flashlight above Cole's head. Cole prayed for his soul for
failing to save these people. Those poor bastards. Michael slammed the flashlight down
onto Cole's head. Cole was stunned as the sharp force cracked his skull. Blood fell from
his forehead as the Shape raised the flashlight again. He thrust it down a second time
smashing the man's face. He raised the flashlight again and smashed it down once more.
The man's hands fell to his sides and Michael let go. Cole Starks fell to the ground, his
face smashed into a sticky red mush. His nose and jaw had been pushed into his skull. The
flashlight had bashed his face in.
Diane was just finishing the dishes with Dan when they heard a loud thud coming
from outside. Diane walked over to the window and lifted the curtain, she peered out into
the yard but didn't see anyone. "Where are the deputies?" Dan walked over to the window
and stood behind Diane. Stephen stood in the kitchen doorway and startled the other two
when he said, "Where's Jonesy?" Diane shifted her gaze to the kitchen door. She looked
back at the boys, "Stay here." She walked over to the door and slowly unlocked it. She
gently cracked it open and looked outside. Nothing but a cold breeze and a few rain drops
greeted her. She gave a sigh of relief and looked down. There, she saw Cole lying in a
puddle of blood, his face bashed in. She screamed and slammed the door. Just then a loud
crash came from behind her. Dan and Stephen screamed as something shattered the
kitchen window they were just looking through. Diane jumped back and ran over to the
boys. Stephen shouted, "Jonesy!" Diane turned around and gagged. Jonesy had been
thrown through the window, his stomach had been ripped open like someone had
been…feeding.
Diane pushed the boys back away from the cat and used her hands to cover
Stephens's eyes. Dan shouted out and Diane screamed as the kitchen door was blown
open. The door shattered into fragments of wood as Michael Myers plowed through it.
Dan grabbed Stephen by the hand and pulled him back. Diane stood in front of them and
screamed at Michael, "Leave them alone! Don't you come near them!" She started
backing up and screamed again when she noticed that Michael was holding Zoe by her tail,
the cat had similarly been ripped open and…eaten.
The three terrified people backed up into the living room where the TV blared loudly. The
mad scientist screamed from the scream, "I've created a monster!"

Chapter 12: House Arrest
Dan fumbled with the lock on the school door as Jesse screamed, "He's coming!"
Stephen was tugging on Dan's pant leg and crying and Dan could almost here the Shape's
breathing. Just as he was about to turn the key in the lock, Officer Starks appeared at the
other side of the door. "Get down!" he shouted as he lifted up his rifle. The three kids
dropped to the floor and Jesse wrapped her arms around Stephen as Starks fired the gun.
Glass flew everywhere as the door shattered. The bullet hit Michael right in the chest and
sent him flying off his feet. He fell to the ground with a mighty thud and moved no more.
Dan got up and frantically pulled Jesse and Stephen with him. Starks yelled to
them, "C'mon! Hurry up!" They climbed under the chained lock, still intact with the key
hanging in the lock. Jesse ran out of the school and immediately over to a bush to throw
up. She was heaving and sobbing, the image of Sara's head being twisted still fresh in her
head. She could still here the sickening snap her neck made when Michael yanked it
around. Stephen walked over to Jesse and hugged her back while she coughed. He had
teary eyes but was strangely transfixed. Dan brushed some glass of his shoulder and
looked to officer Starks, "What are you doing here! How did you know!?" Starks quickly
answered, "Your parents wanted me to tail you, Sheriff sent me to make sure you guys
were safe. Guess I came just in time, I saw your other friend fall, he-oh shit…" Starks was
looking back into the school. Dan turned his head and became pale at the sight ahead of
him. Michael was gone.
Jesse sat up and wiped her lips, she turned to Stephen and hugged him tightly,
"Are you ok baby?" He nodded slowly, "Where's the boogeyman?" Jesse stood up, still
clutching Stephen, and walked over to Dan. She saw him staring in the school and turned
to look. She gasped when she saw the Shape not there. "Where'd he go?" Starks took his
walkie talkie off his belt and turned it on, "Starks here. Over. I'm at the high school with
Dan Strode, Jessica Taylor and Stephen Doyle. They're ok but the others are dead. I need
immediate back up, Michael is….he was…I shot him. He's still on the loose." Starks
reloaded his rifle and looked to the kids, "Now don't panic, we just have to wait, the
other's should be here in just a minute." Jesse looked around and shouted, "What others?
We need to get outta here like now! Where's your car!?" She took off running and Starks
shouted after her, "You don't wanna do that, it's not a pretty sight!" Dan grabbed his
brother by the arm and took off after Jesse.
Jesse ran down the side of the school. Where the hell was Miles, had he gotten
out? Maybe he ran for help. Oh god, Sara was dead, and Ms. Harris! Jesse tried to push
those images out of her head. Just have to get to the car and everything will be ok. We'll
get out of here and we'll be safe again. She turned a corner and saw the car off in the
distance. A hopeful smile spread across her face as she ran towards the back parking lot.
We'll be home soon and this nightmare will be over. She stopped dead in her tracks about
twenty or so fee from the squad car. Jesse's eyes watered and she placed her hands over
her mouth to hold back the scream. She started shaking her head, "No….god, no…" She
started backing up. Dan and Stephen had caught up with her and she walked right into
Dan. She turned around and started sobbing on his shoulder. He looked over her and his
stomach filled with cement. Miles, his best friend, the one who had helped him for the past
two years. The only guy who stuck by him even after he treated him like shit. Miles,
covered in blood and glass lay on the hood of officer Starks' squad car. His head and
shoulders pushed through the windshield, his arms twisted behind him. Jagged cuts
sprinkled upon his face as he lay silently looking down.
Officer Starks finally caught up to them and looked away in remorse, "I tried to
warn you…" The sound of sirens could be heard in the distance and Starks taped Dan on
the shoulder. The boy looked up to the officer, still clutching his broken girlfriend. "The
cops are here, we'd better get you guys home." Dan led Jesse out to the front of the
school. Starks picked Stephen up. The little boy just stared blankly at the carnage on the
cop's car.
Cole led the kids over to another squad car which had just pulled up by the school.
Two more were parked behind it. Sheriff Grayson got out and ran over to Starks, "Cole,
what the hell happened here!?" Starks shook his head and brushed his brow, "Michael…"
Sheriff Grayson walked over to the front door of the school and looked at the glass. Cole
looked up to his boss, "Mark, I had to. The kids, they were trapped." Mark smiled and
nodded, "It's ok Cole. Just get those kids back home." Cole nodded and went over to
another officer who was helping Dan and the others into the back of a squad car. Stephen
looked over to the Sheriff, his eyes glossy and blank.
Mark waved but the boy just stared at him as the car pulled out of the driveway
and took off. Mark crossed his arms as he looked at the carnage in the school.
"Henderson, what's the count so far?" Sheriff Grayson climbed under the chain and
entered the school. He turned his flashlight on as two deputies walked over to him. They
lowered their flashlights as Henderson answered, "Three sir. We got Miles Bartram out in
back on Cole's car. Sara Moyer, as you can see is up there." He pointed to the top of the
stairs and Mark looked up to see Sara's body lying. Mark started walking up the stairs. He
stepped over Sara's body and looked back as the other deputy followed, "Gibbs? Any sign
of Myers yet?" Deputy Gibbs shook his head, "Sorry sir, I got two teams scouting the area
around the block but no trace of him yet." Mark looked around at the top of the stairs.
Henderson followed Gibbs and the two walked up behind Sheriff Grayson, "Hell of
a mess eh Mark." Mark nodded to Henderson, "She the other one?" He pointed to Ms.
Harris' body and Henderson nodded. "Elizabeth Harris 43, she's been teaching here for
fifteen years." Mark walked over to her and knelt down over her, he had known Elizabeth,
they had gone to high school together. "Chain of events gentlemen?" Gibbs got out his
clip board and Henderson started walking the sheriff through it, "From the looks of it, he
came up behind her and stabbed her, then threw her into the fire alarm. That would explain
how it went off." Henderson pointed his flashlight at the fire alarm which had a blood
mark on it.
Mark turned and walked over to the edge of the steps, right next to Sara's body.
He knelt down and examined the girl's back, "She was stabbed too?" Gibbs peered down
from his clipboard and checked Sara's back, "Looks like it sir." Henderson flashed his
light at them and Mark winced, "Would you get that outta my face?" Henderson quickly
lowered his flashlight, "Sorry sir." Mark turned back to Sara's body, he looked at the
blood on her back and noticed a trail leading over to where Henderson was standing.
Mark looked up at the deputy, Henderson shrugged, "What?" Mark looked back to the
edge of the stairs and saw a second blood spatter sitting a good three feet away from
Sara's body with no trail leading to it.
Mark stood up and started speaking, "This blood on Sara, it was on her all the way
over to the stairs." Mark trailed the blood and walked up to Henderson, he used his hands
to position Henderson in the right place, "She was stabbed here." Henderson looked down
at the beginnings of the trail. Mark slowly guided the deputies through the scenario while
Gibbs jotted it down on his clipboard, "She was still alive. She…fell, started crawling. But
the knife…was" Gibbs looked up at the sheriff when he paused, "Sir?" Mark looked at
them both, "The knife was pulled out." He turned and walked over to the second blood
spatter, "This puddle doesn't match with the trail, see, it doesn't have a path to Sara. The
knife was pulled out and thrown." Mark knelt down and examined the puddle, "Myers is
still missing…where's the knife?"
Officer Starks was sitting in the passenger seat of the squad car. A second officer
drove, he was quiet and Starks could tell he was concerned. Truth be told, Starks himself
was concerned. How could he have let Michael get into the school, he should have been
more careful. Cole looked in his rearview mirror and saw the three kids sitting quietly in
the back. Jesse's face was wet from crying, her head lying on Dan's shoulder. Dan himself
was looking at Stephen with a tired, worried look in his eyes. Stephen just sat on the right
side, staring out the window as trees passed them by on the road. Cole felt his paternal
instincts kick in and spoke up, "We'll uh, be back to your' house soon. There's an officer
keeping an eye on the place and your neighbor has been notified and is waiting for you.
We've contacted your parents Jessica, we'll drop you off at home first. We're still trying
to contact your parents Dan." Dan looked at Starks with weary eyes, he didn't speak.
Cole knew these kids had been through an ordeal and were still in shock.
The car pulled up in front of Jesse's house and she got out, she looked at Dan and
he gave her hand a gentle squeeze. She smiled and a tear fell from her eye, "Miles…" Dan
nodded, "It'll be ok, I promise." Jesse let go and headed up to her front door. Her parents
were waiting and came rushing out to hug her. Jesse looked back at Dan as they drove off.
Stephen hadn't said a word since they left, he clutched his pumpkin bag tightly, his
knuckles white from the force of his grasp. Dan noticed this and grasped his brothers
hands in his own. They arrived back at their house and saw another squad car parked in
the driveway. Cole got out and opened the door for Dan and Stephen, he looked at the
driver, "Head back to the school, tell the Sheriff to keep a com link open for us. I'll stay
with Merrick." The other cop nodded and drove off. Cole held his rifle over his shoulder,
he walked up to the front door and knocked. Officer Dave Merrick answered the door and
greeted Cole, "Are the kids alright?" Cole stepped aside so Dan and Stephen could enter
their home. He watched as Diane jumped up from the couch and ran to embrace them,
"Oh god kids, I'm so sorry! Are you dears alright?" Cole stood in the doorway, "I don't
know, they survived that's the important thing." Merrick nodded and went over to the
recliner where his rifle was lying. He picked it up and headed over to the kitchen, "I'm
going out back to keep watch. I want you to stake out the front Starks." Cole nodded as
Merrick went out the kitchen door.
Cole looked over to Diane who was patting Stephen's head soothingly. He smiled,
"I'm sure sheriff Grayson will get a hold of Thom and Kara as soon as he can. Keep an
eye on them ok?" Diane nodded and Cole turned around and headed outside. Diane
waited for the door to shut before she walked over and doubled the locks. She turned and
looked at the two boys, "Just being safe."
Ridgemont Sanitarium
October 31st 2004 7:40
"Who's Wynn?" John was looking back and forth between Kara and Thom. Kara
had blurted out the name and startled everyone, especially Lindsay. How did Kara know
Dr. Wynn? "Dr. Wynn, Terrence Wynn, he's the head of Smith's Grove Sanitarium as well
as liaison to medical facilities throughout Warren County. He's also" Thom blinked,
"Your boss. Son of a bitch, the bastard is your boss." Lindsay shut the filing cabinet
drawer and folded her arms, "Thom, I don't understand what you and Kara are so
concerned about." Kara turned red and her hands started to shake, "That bastard tried to
take my sons!" Thom went over to hold Kara and turned to Lindsay, "Wynn is behind
Michael's entire existence." Lindsay looked at him incredulously, "Are you insane? Dr.
Wynn has been the head of the Myers investigation since 1992! He was a friend of Dr.
Loomis' and he's been trying to capture Michael to prosecute him!"
Kara broke Thom's embrace and stormed over to Lindsay, "I don't know what
kind of crap he's been feeding you but your good doctor has been manipulating Michael
since he was a child. He's the leader of the Thorn cult for god's sake!" Lindsay backed up
and braced herself against a nearby filing cabinet, "Your wrong…he's trying to help…"
Kara raised her arms and her eyes widened, "He's a madman Dr. Wallace! Don't you get
it!? He's responsible for everything, Jamie, Stephen, John and his mother. He tried to
curse my son! He made him do this!" Kara ripped her blouse collar and revealed the scar
on her chest, the one her son had given her whilst under the influence of Wynn. "He's evil,
more so than Michael."
Lindsay started to realize what had been happening. Wynn had played her, all
along he was just using her for his own agenda. Wynn had used Lindsay and his
knowledge of her past to gain information on Michaels victims. "Shit…" Lindsay was
biting her lip, she looked at John who was staring right at her. "John….I, I didn't know."
John was trying to with hold his rage and pain as he spoke, "You were with her, with my
mother. You gave her to him. You led Wynn to her, you led Michael to her!" John was
shaking and Lindsay lifted her arms in defense, "I swear I have been trying to help. I tried
getting through to your mother, I tried to get her to break free from her isolation."
Thom's cell phone rang. He answered it, "Hello? WHAT!? Oh my god, are they
ok!? Fuck, we're on our way." Thom hung up and grabbed Kara by the arm, his face
white as a ghost, "We have to go now!" Kara put her hands over her mouth, "The
kids….what happened Thom." Thom didn't speak, Kara shook his shoulders, "What
happened!?" Thom looked at the trio, "Miles and Sara are…dead." John's eyes grew
wide, he shouted in rage and bashed his fist against a nearby filing cabinet. The impact
echoed through the room. Lindsay closed her eyes and silently cursed herself for trusting
her boss. She knew there had to have been something else going on, why would Wynn
want to gather everyone, and tonight of all nights!
John had tears in his eyes, another member of his own flesh and blood was
slaughtered at the hands of his bastard uncle. His mother, the sister he never knew, know
Sara…they were all dead. He glared at Lindsay, "You knew! You KNEW!" He stormed
over to her, Lindsay leaned up against the cabinet and started to quiet down, "I didn't
know…I didn't know…" John was screaming in her face, "You knew she was in his
bloodline and you didn't tell her, you didn't warn her!" Thon ran over and stepped in
between them. He looked up at John who was breathing hard and tightening his fists in
anger, "Damnit John we don't have time for this! The others are in danger now, we left
them. Oh god, Kara…the kids, they're defenseless against him." Kara started looking
around and glared at Lindsay, "We need to get back to town now! How long of a drive
was it, 45 minutes? Lindsay, did you know this was going to happen?" Lindsay looked
appalled, "Of course not, how could any of you think that! I swear to god I had no idea
what Terrence was planning. The bastard played us all!" John was calming down and
focused on one thing now, "He have to help the kids…Stephen, he's a target."
Haddonfield IL
October 31st 2004 7:50 pm
Diane had put a kettle of milk on the stove and was preparing some hot cocoa for
the boys. Dan was sitting on the couch with Stephen next to him. They were watching a
Halloween movie on TV. Neither one of them was paying attention to the TV though,
Stephen was having memories of the shadow man again. Dan was thinking about Miles
and the horrible things he'd said to him before he had died. Diane came out of the kitchen
with a tray in her hands. She had poured three cups of cocoa and set them on the tray,
"Ok boys, this should warm you up a bit." She set the tray down and Dan took a cup. He
handed a smaller cup to Stephen who grasped it in both hands. Stephen took a sip. Diane
shivered, it had been raining earlier today but it had stopped a while ago. Now the
temperature had dropped and a cold breeze had taken a hold of the town. She went back
to the kitchen and poured some cocoa into two thermoses. She unlocked the kitchen door
and stepped outside.
Diane immediately shivered, she stepped off the porch and scanned the backyard
for deputy Merrick. She saw him standing under the boys' tree house. Thomas had helped
them build it three summers ago. Merrick was standing guard at the base of the tree.
Diane wrapped her arms around her, al she was wearing was her red sweater and it wasn't
enough to warm her up. She sauntered on over to the deputy, thermos in hand. "Officer?
It's pretty cold out here so I made you some cocoa." Merrick lifted his finger up to
his mouth and signaled for her to speak more quietly. She spoke more softly as she neared
him, "Sorry, are you doing ok? Any sign of trouble?" Merrick took the thermos and set his
rifle down, "No ma'am nothing yet. We don't know for sure if anything will happen but
it's better to be safe." Diane nodded, "Did sheriff Grayson get a hold of Kara and the
others?" Merrick nodded and smiled, "Yep, sure did. Just got off the radio with him a few
minutes ago, said they were on their way. Should be back in an hour or so." Diane gave a
sigh of relief, "Oh thank heavens. Well, I'm going to see if officer Starks wants something
to drink. Don't freeze to death out here ok?" Merrick took another gulp of the steaming
cocoa and smiled, "Thanks Ms. Hopkins."
Diane headed back into the house and saw the two costumed youths drinking their
cocoa. It was getting chilly in the house so she walked over to the fire place. She used the
fire poker to brush some wood around and get the fire going some more, "That's better."
Dan had taken his leather trench coat off and wrapped it around Stephen. The white make
up on his face was smudged as a result of sweat and tears. The black streaks on his face
had smeared under his eyes giving him a very ghostly visage. Stephen had taken the clown
mask and stocking cap off awhile ago. His dark hair was messy from the cap and Diane
smiled at the sight of them sitting there. "What are you guys watching?" Dan brushed a
golden lock from his face as he looked up at Diane, "Frankenstein." Stephen watched as
the monster on TV sat up. The mad doctor laughed and Stephen just rolled his eyes.
Diane walked out to the front entrance and stepped outside. She found Starks
sitting in Merrick's squad car and knocked on his window. He turned and on rolled it,
"Need something?" She smiled and handed him the second thermos, "Thought you might
need something." He smiled and gratefully accepted the drink. "You'd better get back to
the kids." She smiled and turned back to head in.
Stephen's cat Jonesy came over to him and started rubbing up against his leg. He
picked the cat up and set him on his lap. "Nice kitty." Stephen started patting the cat. Dan
smiled at his brother's innocence. Such a gentle boy. How could he be related to such a
ruthless killer. Dan thought about this as Diane came in. She saw Jonesy with Stephen and
asked, "Where's the other one?" Dan looked around and turned to Diane, "Zoe probably
went upstairs or outside."
Deputy Starks sat in the car drinking his cocoa. He was intent on staying focused.
He looked over to the house and the surrounding trees. He thought for an instant that he
saw he shape of a man walking behind the trees. Starks blinked and looked again. No sign
of anyone. Starks got out of the car and slowly started to walk over to the trees. He aimed
his rifle as he neared the trees. He got out his flashlight and turned it on. There wasn't a
person in sight. He started walking along the side of the house and heard a branch snap
behind him. He whirled around and aimed his rifle. Nothing. Starks turned his flashlight off
and started backing up, if someone was back here he didn't want to give away his location
just yet. He continued backing up not realizing someone was behind him. A shadowy
figure loomed behind him and Starks backed up right against him. He jumped and turned
around, "Jesus Merrick you scared the shit out of me!" Merrick took a drink of his cocoa
and shrugged, "Sorry man. Trade sides?" Starks nodded, "Sure, keep an eye on the kids
ok?" Merrick waved a hand as he headed for the front of the house. Starks, now more
jumpy, headed into the back yard.
Merrick walked into the front yard and saw that Diane had shut the curtains,
"Great…" He turned around and tripped over a toy on the ground. He spilled some of the
cocoa on his jacket, "Oh shit." Merrick heard a noise coming from the trees he had just
passed. He turned and looked at the driveway where his car stood quietly. Starks had left
the door open, "idiot." Merrick rolled his eyes but jumped when another sound came from
the trees. He got his flashlight out and headed over to the trees. He got to the trunks and
looked up into the leaves above him. All he could see was damp orange and red leaves.
Merrick turned around to head back when he bumped into Zoe. "What the hell are you
doing out here cat?" Zoe turned and ran over to the car. He jumped into the squad car and
sat down in the passenger seat. Merrick scratched his brow and realized the noises must
have come from the cat. He walked over to the car and flashed his light at the cat, "C'mon
get out of there." The cat quietly hissed. Merrick looked down at the cat's paws and
noticed how red they were. He leaned in closer and realized the cat was blood on it's
paws, "Oh my god…" Merrick realized something was wrong. He reached into the car
and pulled out the radio receiver. He turned it on and pulled the cord back a bit, "Sheriff,
it's Merrick. Over. I think Myers is at the Doyle residence, get someone down here now!"
Zoe started hissing more and backed up into the corner of the passenger seat.
Merrick noticed this and looked at the cat. It's fur was on edge and it was
growling at Merrick, "What's wrong?" He got back on the radio, "I repeat, suspect might
be at the-" a hand shot out from behind Merrick and grabbed the radio cord. Another hand
wrapped the cord tightly around Merrick's neck. Merrick fell to his knees and gasped for
air. He looked up and saw the Shape's pale mask looking down at him. The shape pulled
on the cord more and it tightened around his neck. Sheriff Grayson's voice came over the
receiver hanging by Merrick's chest as he was slowly being strangled with it, "Merrick?
I'm sending back up, just hang in there ok?" Merrick's eyes bulged and his face turned
purple. The last thing he saw was Michael's white mask blurring out of focus. The sound
of Zoe hissing faded into darkness as Merrick's heart slowed down. He felt his body
shutting down and felt darkness consume him. Michael just stared at him through
blackened eyes. He watched the deputy struggle some more then fall limp as he held the
cord tightly around the man's neck. Merrick stopped moving, his mouth hanging open, his
tongue swollen. Michael let go and the body fell to the ground. He looked into the car as
Zoe continued to hiss.
Diane was sitting on the couch reading a romance novel as the boys continued to
watch Frankenstein on TV. She looked up at the clock, it was going on eight o'clock,
where were Kara and Thom? Diane looked over to the boys, Stephen had fallen a sleep
and was quietly slumbering next to Dan. Dan himself was getting droopy eyed. Diane
spoke up, "How is Jesse doing? Is she going to be ok?" Dan's eyes shot open and he
turned to look at Diane, "I don't know, I hope so. She's going to call later and maybe
she'll come over to keep us company." Diane stood up and gathered the cups of cocoa
and set them back on the tray. "Want any help?" Dan offered and Diane accepted. They
stood up and gathered the dishes. Jonesy woke up and jumped down from Stephen's lap.
He scampered over to the kitty door in the kitchen and went outside.
Starks was walking the perimeter of the back yard when Jonesy came outside.
Cole didn't notice the cat, he was busy flashing his light up at the tree house. He followed
the light and saw a clothesline connecting from the tree house to the attic window of the
house. Cole smiled at the sight of the tree house. He turned around and saw a shadowy
figure standing at the kitchen door looking in. Cole tensed up, he realized who the figure
was. It was Michael Myers, he was peering in to the house, staring at Diane and Dan
putting dishes away. They didn't have a clue he was right outside. Cole had to do
something, he couldn't let Michael get into the house, not like last time at the school. He
wouldn't fail this time. Cole quietly aimed his rifle at Michael and started walking forward.
He was silently praying to himself. Don't let him hear me, please god just give me one
clear shot.
Diane washed the cups in the sink while Dan dried them off. He needed something
to do, anything to keep his mind off of the situation. Little did they know that the situation
was right outside looking in at them.
Cole was only inches away from Michael's back, he aimed the rifle at the shape's
head and set his flashlight on his belt. Cole looked down for just an instant and saw it. His
stomach churned and he let out a gasp. It was all Michael needed, he turned around and
grabbed Cole by the throat. Cole dropped the rifle and tried to break free. He looked back
at the red mess sitting at the bottom of the stairs and looked up at Michael who was using
his free hand to pull his mask back down. Cole had interrupted a private moment for
Michael and now he would pay. Cole interrupted Michael's feeding time. The deputy
watched in horror as Michael plucked the flashlight from his own belt. This couldn't
happen, Cole had to protect these people, they were going to die if he didn't do
something. Michael raised the flashlight above Cole's head. Cole prayed for his soul for
failing to save these people. Those poor bastards. Michael slammed the flashlight down
onto Cole's head. Cole was stunned as the sharp force cracked his skull. Blood fell from
his forehead as the Shape raised the flashlight again. He thrust it down a second time
smashing the man's face. He raised the flashlight again and smashed it down once more.
The man's hands fell to his sides and Michael let go. Cole Starks fell to the ground, his
face smashed into a sticky red mush. His nose and jaw had been pushed into his skull. The
flashlight had bashed his face in.
Diane was just finishing the dishes with Dan when they heard a loud thud coming
from outside. Diane walked over to the window and lifted the curtain, she peered out into
the yard but didn't see anyone. "Where are the deputies?" Dan walked over to the window
and stood behind Diane. Stephen stood in the kitchen doorway and startled the other two
when he said, "Where's Jonesy?" Diane shifted her gaze to the kitchen door. She looked
back at the boys, "Stay here." She walked over to the door and slowly unlocked it. She
gently cracked it open and looked outside. Nothing but a cold breeze and a few rain drops
greeted her. She gave a sigh of relief and looked down. There, she saw Cole lying in a
puddle of blood, his face bashed in. She screamed and slammed the door. Just then a loud
crash came from behind her. Dan and Stephen screamed as something shattered the
kitchen window they were just looking through. Diane jumped back and ran over to the
boys. Stephen shouted, "Jonesy!" Diane turned around and gagged. Jonesy had been
thrown through the window, his stomach had been ripped open like someone had
been…feeding.
Diane pushed the boys back away from the cat and used her hands to cover
Stephens's eyes. Dan shouted out and Diane screamed as the kitchen door was blown
open. The door shattered into fragments of wood as Michael Myers plowed through it.
Dan grabbed Stephen by the hand and pulled him back. Diane stood in front of them and
screamed at Michael, "Leave them alone! Don't you come near them!" She started
backing up and screamed again when she noticed that Michael was holding Zoe by her tail,
the cat had similarly been ripped open and…eaten.
The three terrified people backed up into the living room where the TV blared loudly. The
mad scientist screamed from the scream, "I've created a monster!"
