Laurie drove back into town as she had to pass through town to get to her home and soon she slowed down a little as she passed the boarded up remains of the Myers old home still standing their 40 years later and she stopped outside for a second

This street was all so familer to her it was where she spend her teen years and looking at the old house she tried to imagine Michael as a small boy with dirty blond wavy hair perhaps playing outside on his bike Judith coming home from school their parents going about their daily lives as before the events the Myers were a typical middle class family according to Loomis book

Sevrel years before he died Dr Loomis wrote a book on Michael as he knew him so well he'd spend decades studying the boy trying to get inside his mind see what made him snap was it his upbringing was he being bullied even molested by family members as doctors put Michael through hundreds of tests but everything came back negative and the parents were questioned too if they had anything to do with Michael's reason for snapping and the father did admit he was strict and shouted at Michael he never lifted his had to the boy and their was no history of abuse in the family slough the parents said Michael did act off at times especially towards his older sister like spying on her when she was bathing also he broke into her room and destroyed her diary and smashed her collection of porcelain dolls and the year before Judith her boyfriend and Michael were sent on a camping trip. for a weekend and Michael left to his own defences for a while interipted his sister and boyfriends love making by dumping a bloody dead rabbit on their laps and Judith freaked out Judith it was reported would hit out at Michael but nothing more than a slap or a shove and she was no angel at times but did not deserve to die the way she did

After Judith's death her boyfriend was brought in for questioning too as they thought he did it for a while and somehow blamed Michael but he had an alabi turned out he was cheating on Judith with another girl and. after he left the Myers house he went to the girls party and went upstairs with her so Michael was home alone so after he was arrested the Myers were moved int another house along with baby Laurie as their old house was now a crime scene and Laurie mom had a breakdown after the trial and could not cope so Laurie was put into care and later adopted and got a new name too and grew up blissfuly unaware of her dark past till 1978 when Michael came back and he somehow went after her at first Laurie thought it was because she went over to the old Myers house but later found out why he was after her and being related to that monster made her blood run cold and that innocent Halloween night turned into a blood bath that would ruin her life and now 40 years on it still haunted her and the bloody events in between

' God I wish they'd pull that place down it's a thorn in my side ' Laurie muttered before driving on turning on the radio to take her mind off things but being Haddonfield it was full of reminders and also worse was she seen 3 teenage girls walking along the sidewalk near some hedges giggling and laughing and they reminded her of herself Annie and Lynda her 2 best friends that were also killed by Michael

Not wanting anymore bad memories to creep up Laurie sped through the town till she came to the store where she had to stop off to get some groceries and dog food as she got herself a pretty feirce big gaurd dog that was trained to rip Michael to shreds but be gentle with her family

As Laurie parked her car and got ready to go to the store she heard a voice calling her

' OMG it is you after all these years Laurie Laurie stride wait uo ' Yelled a woman who looked in her 30s and had dark wavy hair to her shoulders and was pushing a stroller with. a toddler blond boy in it

' Excuse me do I know you ...? Asked Laurie a little stunned as the woman ran towards her

' You should do you used to babysit me as a kid " The woman begun smiling

' OMG no way Lindsay Wallace wow your all grown up now ' Laurie said smiling

' Yeah guess I have how are you this weather ..? Asked Lindsay smiling

' Oh not too bad just doing some grocery shopping that's all also need to get presents in for Daisy's birthday she's almost 5 then I have Angel on Christmas Eve so November and December are expensive months for me and Christmas on top of it I'll be broke to Easter " Laurie laughed

' Wow I forgot you had 3 grandkids you must have your hands full bad enough with this little guy at times but 3 wow ' Lindsay said

' Oh their alright most of the time Abbie who's the oldest at 16 she thinks she knows everything really she's at that age and always on her phone or tablet or going to the mall with her friends but have to say she still likes reading her Harry Potter books one time she thought Hogwarts was a real place and wanted to go their and was calling us all muggles what ever that is but she is kind of growing out of the Harry Potter place now ' Laurie said with a laugh

' Wow 16 already where have the years gone seems like yesterday you were a kid yourself babysitting me and Tommy ' Lindsay said

' Yup it doe now I'm a middle aged grandma of three kids a 16 year old a 9 year old and almost 5 year old along with baggage as they call it 3 kids 2 failed marriages and a string of failed relationships my firstborn well she's gone now and my son John is in a place called Colchester in the U.K. and won't talk to me and my relationship with Kate is still a bit strained it was just after Abbie's birth we started talking and even then I was banned from the house her then husband didn't want me around the kids and Kate nearly died giving birth to Angel ' Laurie said sighing

' Wow what happened ..? Asked Lindsay

' Oh Angel was not due till mid January and Kate went into labour early Christmas Eve wrapping presents and I couldn't get to her because of the ban they got a court order for me to stay away from the house I could have helped so I just had to talk her through the birth on the phone Angel was born under the Christmas tree and was underweight but she pulled through she'll be 10 this year she's a good kid right into her competitions and she still loves her Disney movies and Daisy's she's a;most 5 she's the youngest little diva she is and a sassy personality too and very girly ' Laurie said with a laughthen smiled at the toddler in the stroller

' So is this your little one then ..? Asked Laurie

' No my grandson he's my daughters little boy he's 3 in March sometimes he's a little terror ' Laughed Lindsay

' Your grandson your too young to have grandchildren I know you had kids ' Laurie said

' Yup he's my oldest daughter son she had him at 15 a huge shock so she's finishing her studies and I have him for the day but yeah I have 3 kids my daughter who's 17 now then my son who's 12 and my youngest son who's 11 so my hands are full so to say ' Laughed Lindsay

' Yeah kids aren't easy that's for sure do you ever hear from Tommy ..? Asked Laurie as Lindsay shook her head

' Nope not seen him since I was a kid what about yourself do you ever hear from him ..? Asked Lindsay

' No not in years he used to write with updates on Steven but it stopped all I know is Steven is living in Florida he came out as Gay 4 years ago and he and his partner have a son and want a daughter now he works in his fashion and owns a store with his partner ' Laurie said

" Wow cool what about John do you hear from him ..? Asked Lindsay

' No he never speaks to me now he married an English girl who was in the states on a student exchange thing at his collage he dated her for a while then they married lived in the next town for a while and then moved to the U.K. with their kids but he's broken off all contact and with Jamie gone all I have now is Kate " Laurie sighed

" I'm so sorry about Jamie wish I'd have met her " Lindsay said sadly

" Thanks I like to think of her in a better place now she was such a smart pretty little girl I still have lots of photos of her as a child and ...Laurie trailed off and didn't say any more as she was upset and blamed Jamie's death on herself and that always upset her as she had hoped to reunite with Jamie and bring her home but HE had taken that chance away

well that's that chappy done more to come
