Michael Myers was smart. He knew that Dr. Loomis would send out a search party, and so he bailed. He would worry about the Carruthers' family later. Right now, he decided to follow Rachel's friends, Tina, Sam, Spitz, and Mikey. With Rachel and her parents out in the country for a couple of days, Tina thought it would be fun to crash there. They would never find out, and Tina would make sure the place was spotless before they got home, and she brought her own food. She went to pick up her Halloween costume for the Tower Farm party, along with some groceries.

Michael watched Tina unload everything and then followed her and Sam around town. They were mostly talking about their boyfriends. It looked like they were going to the clinic to visit Jamie. Michael almost did a double take when Tina yelled, "Michael!"

She was yelling at her boyfriend, who was driving by. "What," he yelled in frustration as he drove up. Tina hopped into the front seat. Mikey wore a leather jacket and sunglasses.

"You're just in time to give us a lift," Tina said, giving him a kiss. Sam was hesitant, however, about getting in the car.

"Oh, come on, Sam, he's sorry about last weekend. Aren't you, Mike?"

"No," Mike said with a laugh. Tina playfully hit his arm and then turned back to Sam.

"You see?"

"Tina, I thought you wanted to see Jamie."

"Look, you're killing me, babe, okay," Mike said, taking off his sunglasses. "Would you just get in?"

"We can go later, right, Mikey? Right?"

Mike was frustrated. He didn't really like kids, and hated how much time Tina spent with Jamie. Sam rolled her eyes, and got into the backseat. They drove off.

Meanwhile, inside the clinic, Jamie was having one of her attacks. She could sense Tina and the others driving off, and Michael standing outside. Getting up out of her bed, Jamie went to look out the window, and to her horror, saw her evil uncle standing by a tree, looking up at her.

Terrified, Jamie backed up from the window, almost falling down in the process. Not knowing what to do, she ran out of her room, and towards the front door of the clinic where a shadow appeared in the window. Frightened, she ran downstairs to the basement area, and could hear footsteps behind her as she ran. She needed to find a hiding spot and fast.

She climbed on top of something, trying to hide from view. Someone grabbed her by the legs and she almost screamed in horror. Luckily, it was just the janitor.

"It's all right. It's all right. What are you doing down here?"

Nurse Patsy was there, too.

"Oh, there you are. We've been looking all over for you. Come to me, baby. Come to me, darling."

Jamie climbed onto Nurse Patsy's back.

"What was it? Was it one of your dreams again?"

Jamie shook her head no. Nurse Patsy carried Jamie back to her room. Dr. Loomis was waiting for them.

"Jamie, are you all right?"

Jamie looked like she was going to cry. Nurse Patsy placed her in her bed.

"Where did you see him this time?"

Jamie pointed out the window. Dr. Loomis looked outside. "Well, he's not there now. He will always get to you, Jamie. Listen, I have some bad news. I don't want to scare you, but you need to know, so you can be prepared. We all need to be ready. Today in the cemetary, somebody dug up a coffin. It was a coffin for a nine-year-old girl."

Jamie buried her face in her pillow. She did not want to hear this!

"I'm sorry, Jamie. But like I said, I'm not going to let him hurt you. I am going to figure out how to stop him. You and your family are going to get through this, mark my words. I will find a way."

Jamie turned to look at Dr. Loomis. He gave her a small smile and left. Nurse Patsy pulled Jamie into a comforting hug.

MEANWHILE

Tommy Doyle, who was the same age as Rachel Carruthers, sit at his computer, studying. He had newspaper clippings all over his walls. Ever since he was eight-years-old, he was obsessed with finding out what drove Michael Myers mad. Apparently, it was caused by a curse. Something called Thorn. It would make the killer immortal.

The only way to get rid of the curse is for the cursed person to murder their entire family. To kill the person who has the curse, somebody must find a way to break through the evil, and to kill them when they show a human emotion of some kind.

How in the world would Michael Myers show human emotion? He had no feelings at all! No joy, no sorrows, nothing. What would it take to make this monster show his human side?

Tommy knew that Michael was still alive for that was the only thing that would be able to kill him. Shooting him, stabbing him, setting him on fire, running him over, etc, was pointless unless he showed some kind of emotion. Laughing, crying, anything.

The evil somehow needed to be broken through. Tommy knew that Michael was back in Haddonfield, and he was going to find a way. He just needed to find Dr. Loomis.
