Next day Ryan and Vicky drove up a long driveway that was in the middle of nowhere it seemed and security cameras everywhere that made them feel a bit uneasy
" Well were here I guess no backing out now I hope she keeps her word as this is costing us a fortune and why would she want such a lot of money I wonder " Said Vicky
' Well I guess her bunker and all that security stuff will cost a fortune so she'll spend it on that no doubt but come on let's get this over with see what she has to say ' Ryan sighed as they leaned over to talk to the intercom
' Hi Laurie it's us was wondering if your still up to the interview we talked about on the phone and we have the money here " Ryan said as Vicky help up a huge pile of notes to the security camera
' It's all here in 50 dollar notes every last cent of it and all we want is some of your time ' Vicky said as suddenly the gates opened allowing Ryan to drive through
' Looks even if Laurie will talk for a price she can be bought ' Ryan said as the drove up the long drive way to the house that was covered in cameras and breaking into Fort Knox would be a lot easy
'God she's got more security here than Smyths grove has talk about big brother is watching you ' Said Vicky as Ryan rang the bell and spoke into another intercom and they could hear the dog barking too and Laurie yelling at the dog to shut up and get into the room
After about 5 minutes of unlocking things they finally met Laurie
' Can I see your ID badges first before I let you in ' Said Laurie looking at the reporters
' Yes sure no problem ' Vicky said handing over her badge for Laurie to read and Ryan did the same
' Seems good enough now do you have the money I asked for ' Laurie said
' Yes it's all here in this envelop took us a while to get it together but we got it ' Ryan said showing laurie the money
' Alright fine by me okay you got me for half an hour come in ' Laurie said as the two reporters went inside and sat on her sofa and Laurie bolted uo the door again and sat on another sofa facing them and briefly apologising for Rocky barking saying he hates strangers
' So Laurie can you tell us what happened on the night of the Halloween massicar you survived and did you know that Michael was your brother ..? Asked Vicky
' The day started off as normal really I was never one for going out I was a quiet studious teen so to say the plane Jane of the group I hung out with and left all the flirting and that to my friends Annie and Lynda they were the pretty ones Annie liked to think she was the perfect good girl she was daring a guy called Paul her dad was sherif Bracket so she had to be on her best behaviour at all times and to him she was the perfect daddy's little princess but she had a few secrets like smoking weed and that but not as wild as Lynda she was the cool pretty one a very popular girl into cheerleading and that and she liked the boys they both had dates that night well Annie was meant to be sitting little Lindsay Wallace I had Tommy I used to babysit a lot earn some extra cash I hoped to put it to my collage funds or buy the latest record by my favourite bands asi got a record player one Christmas but that night Annie wanted to see Paul so I agreed to get Lindsay and her and Tommy were friends so they dressed up I took them trick or treating around tea time just before it got dark then we watched an old horror movie on tv and ate the candy I made a pumpkin lantern and that's when all hell broke loose " Laurie said
' Michael came ' Vicky said as Laurie nodded and muttered ' Yes Michael came '
" Laurie do you remember Michael growing up some people remember early childhood and for the first year if life you guys were in the same house or do you remember Judith at all ..? Asked Ryan as Laurie shook her head
' No not really I have tried but I can't I just remember my adopted parents my earliest memory is getting a trike I was like 2 at the time and my dad lifting me on it but that's it " Laurie said
' Laurie can I ask why all the security you know Michael is locked up till he dies he can't get to you ' Vicky said
' He will and he can he's escaped so many times before and he'll do it again this time I'm waiting for him. now tell me yountoo do you believe in the boogeyman..? Asked Laurie as the two reporters looked at each other and shook their head
' Er no it's something you make uo to scare naughty kids into behaving I stopped believing years ago ' Ryan said as Laurie made a face
' Well you should hes very real and he is out their and know he will come after me but this time I'm ready I'm no longer that terrified victim he tried to kill I will end him next time and I'm also doing it for my oldest daughter and sister I owe them that much that monster robbed me of my life a sister I never got a chance to know also my good friends and my beautiful daughter who never got a chance to grow up and enjoy her son and sadly I'm not a part of my grandsons life so it's his turn to pay and I'll make sure he will pay ' Laurie said
' Laurie how did you feel when you found out that Michael is your brother did you know right away or that ..? Asked Ryan
' Shocked I guess and no I was told from an early age I was adopted and I had an older sister that had died but never knew her name but no one mentioned Michael it was Doctor Loomis that told me so I was shocked and horrified but I don't see him as a brother as brothers are meant to protect their sister and be a friend as they get older but Michael never protected me and he is no friend of mine " ' Laurie said
' We went to see Michael the other day of course he said nothing but what makes you think he'll come after you he's all chained up ' Said Vicky as Laurie gave a sigh
' As you expect he had nothing to say we were told he can speak but chooses not to ' Ryan added
' That's Michael for you he was the same with Dr Loomis drove the man mad and it was a wast of time going their you won't get anything out of him and if he spoke as a child well I don't know and when we were in the same house well I was too young to remember him my adopted parents told me nothing about him they said my birth parents had died in a car crash and my older sister was killed by an unknown killer failed robbery or something guess they lied to protect me but I was never interested in my birth family I had a good life okay mom and I often clashed but she wasent that bad " `Laurie said
' Laurie why did you turn your back on your first daughter Jamie you abandoned her when she was like 7 and at a stage she needed her mom the most and you faked a car crash ' Said Vicky
' I never faked a car crash we came off the road it was late at night and jimmy had been drinking and we swerved to avoid a deer we'd been to a party I offered to drive as I didn't drink back then but I walked out the crash unhurt sadly jimmy didn't make it and I couldn't care for a young child and also I guess I was scared incase he'd find out about his niece and come after us I wanted to protect her so I placed her with foster parents who also knew I was alive and I wanted her to have a perfect care free life and know nothing about him but somehow he found her and well you know the rest but I never turned my back on Jamie I loved that little girl with all my heart she was my little sunshine so beautiful and perfect and I'd give anything to have her back instead she's lying in a cemetery When she should be enjoying her life that monster destroyed it like he destroyed mine he killed my boyfriend when men find out who I am and my past they run a mile I lost my son and grandson because of him they won't speak to me and he almost destroyed my relationship with my second daughter also he's taken the life of my good friends over the years so yeah thanks to him my life has been shit but now I'm getting back on track I won't let him destroy me again or my daughter or granddaughters and my granddaughters thankfully don't know who Michael is just some urban legend made up to get the kids home early from trick or treating or into behaving but only I and you know the truth even my daughter thinks I'm crazy and I know all the neighbours do iv heard what they say word gets about and Haddonfield is a hot bed for gossip small town so news travels fast iv known that since my teens " Laurie said
'Is it true your trying to get Halloween banned all together ..? Asked Vicky
' Yes until he's dead and dead for good but I dobut that will happen look I'm not trying to be a killjoy but whist he is prowling the streets no one is safe and okay he won't kill small children but how long will that last for you guys don't know Michael like I do iv known him like for 40 years now and also what Loomis told me and till he's caught Well Halloween should be banned but what people do in their own homes is uo to them but just keep of the streets and I never celebrated it when I had the kids yet as a kid I did Halloween but that was before what happened so when I had my own kids yeah I banned Halloween but I bought them treats to make up for it candy a Barbie doll some Lego what ever they wanted and we helped plan thanksgiving and Christmas instead as they were big holidays in our house " Laurie said
' Laurie what happend to Kate she was taken into care when she was young social serveses took her claiming you were a bad mother ' Ryan asked as a clock chimmed in the background making Laurie turn round to look at it
' No comment anyway that's half past your half hour is uo now I want my payment if you want to interview me again I have my prices now I'll show you out ' Laurie said taking a large bulky brown envelope with all the money in it before showing the reporters out
' Well thanks for the interview this is our card through we're English form the U.K. were living here now and easy to get hold off ' Ryan said handing a card to Laurie who looked at it briefly before putting it on a nearby table
' Thanks I'll keep that in mind " Laurie said watching the couple leave before heading back inside to let her barking dog out the room
