The sun began to rise as Xander pulled out of the truck stop he was heading to Haddonfield to investigate one of the worst serial killers in history Michael Myers.

“I hope to God I can prove he is dead so Ms. Tate can have some peace.”

Xander whispered in a prayer as he listened to copies of Dr. Sam Loomis’ recordings on Michael that the Tates had given him.

It was seriously creeping him out and he was suddenly very glad that he had powers if he was ever to encounter Michael or someone like him.

Repressing a shutter Xander turned off the Doctor’s tape and put on a CD of the Footloose soundtrack in the hope the music will help him shake the feeling of dread that was coming over him.


Buffy Summers sat in her bedroom she looked at the picture on her night table a picture of her Xander and Willow.

Her best guy friend had died facing off against the Oldest Vampire in history Giles and the Watchers had even written a Chronicle about him to record his name in a place of Honor with the Watchers the Man that died to protect his friend the Slayer.

She grabbed Mr. Gordo and held him for comfort. She had watched him die she had watched him fade away and she and Willow had been left with nothing to mourn. She and Willow had researched everything they could find about Xander’s vanishing act and all they had been able to come up with were three very different and she hoped true possibilities.

The first was Xander had been chosen to become a White Lighter a Guardian Angel for Witches and Champions. Willow was starting to study the Wiccan path to becoming a true witch just in case.

The second was more Giles cup of tea. Xander could’ve shed his physical body and ascended to become a being of a higher plane of existence.

The final one was not so good. If a person dies with a great sadness they are brought back to set things right.

She hoped that whatever Xander was he was happy.
***********************************************************************

Xander pulled into the motel as he listened to Loomis’ final tape.

“I beg you who are listening to this tape find Michael and destroy him.”


Xander hoped that Michael was dead but if he wasn’t he swore that he would end him.

Parking his Camper Xander walked into the Office and smiled at the girl.

The Girl smiled back

“Hello sir I’m Lindsay Wallace. How can I help you?”

“I need a room for a few days.”

“Certainly what type of room would you like?”

“King size bed be nice if have one.” Smiled Xander.

She smiled as she handed Xander the key to his room.

“Third room down.”

Xander sat on the bed photos of Michael’s past kills spread out on the bed.

“This guy is seriously fucked up.” He mused as he looked over some of Michael’s more inventive kills such as boiling a Nurse in a hydrotherapy bath and gouging out a Doctor’s eye with a hypodermic needle.

Xander turned and locked at a picture of that some high school photo buff snapped of Laurie Strode as she and her friends Anne and Lynda walking away from the school.

Xander blinked looked up and he saw the retreating backs of the 3 girls from the picture.

“Fuck me running.” He groaned as he realized he had just traveled thru time and space for the first time.

“This is bad.” He thought as he walked after the girls because it seemed like the thing to do.

‘What the hell am I doing?’ thought Xander as he moved quietly down the street. It was then he saw him. Big guy boiler room suit and a white mask.

Xander smiled as a thought crossed his mind. He can read other people’s thoughts maybe he could send them out too.

‘Michael can you hear me?’ Xander thought as he focused on the masked man.

‘Who are you?’ came a voice cracking as if he hadn’t spoken in years.

‘I’m your sister’s protector.’ Xander told him firmly

‘Good stop me.’ Michael thought. He stepped being the bushes and was gone.

Xander’s eyes widened. Something was very wrong. Michael wasn’t doing this of his own free will.


Looking around Xander began walking towards the Myers House. Xander began checking his pockets to find what he still had on him. He had his wallet with about 150 dollars that were useable back here and 200 that weren’t due to the dates on the bills.

His gun in his back hip holster and 2 spar clips a Swiss army knife and his PI id which was from the Company and listed out of New York. He also had a listing of the complete Myers family so it wouldn’t be too hard to explain that he was hired by Michael’s Uncle Audrey. The man disappeared just after the Murder of Judith. Xander would claim that he was hired to protect Laurie from Michael.

Xander walked up to the Myers house and walked in the unlocked front door and he found what looked to a half eaten dog.

“Shit that is nasty.” The door behind him squeaked open.

Xander spun around and drew his gun and found himself covering the Sheriff and Dr. Sam Loomis.

“Sorry guys I thought you were Michael.” Xander told them as he holstered his sidearm.

“Who are you?” asked sheriff Brackett.

“Xander Harris. I’m a private investigator and bodyguard.” Xander told them as he showed the PI badge he had.

“I was hired by Michael’s Uncle Audrey to protect his sister from Michael when heard Michael escaped he sent me to look after Angel.”

“Angel?” asked Dr. Loomis.

“Michael’s sister Angel Myers. After her parents were killed in that car accident she was adopted by the Strode family and they renamed her Laurie.” Xander told them pair.

“How did Audrey Myers know Michael escaped when we didn’t even know?” asked the Sheriff.

“He was paying off an orderly at Smith’s Groove to keep tabs on Michael.” Xander told them.

Dr. Loomis looked Xander over grateful someone else was trying to contain Michael’s evil.

“We have to find Laurie Strode Gentlemen.” Loomis told them.

“I’ll check with my daughter she will know where Laurie is.” Brackett told them.


Dr Loomis and Xander stood in bushes of the Myers house waiting for Brackett to return as they waited in case Michael came home in the mean time.

“So Alexander what do you think about Michael?”

“I think there is something evil inside him driving him. I wish I knew what the hell it was.”

“Interesting theory.” Loomis told him as they watched a couple of boys coming to the house to prove that they were brave.

“Come on Lonnie go up to the front door and touch it to prove you’re not a chicken.” One of the boys chided.

As the boy climbed the steps Xander turned to Loomis and Winked.

“Lonnie get your ass off my porch.” Xander spoke making his voice echo a bit.

“How did you do that?” asked Loomis with a bit of awe.

“Clean throat.” Xander smiled

Any reply from the Doctor was cut off my by the return of Sheriff Bracket.

“My Daughter is missing. She and Laurie were babysitting some kids a few blocks down.”

“Where?” Xander asked and the Sheriff pointed down the street.

“Two blocks down”

“Let’s go guys.”

Xander Loomis and the Sheriff took off down the street.

As they reached the area they saw two kids run out of one of the houses screaming bloody murder.

“He’s over there.” Loomis and Xander said at the same time.

Drawing their guns the pair ran to the door. Hearing a girl screaming they ran to the top of the stairs.

“Michael.” Yelled Xander as he shot him sending Michael stumbling back into another room.

“Check the girl.” Xander told Loomis as he followed Michael into the room.

‘Stop me please.’ Xander heard in his head as Michael stood up and raised his knife.

Nodding Xander fired and fired and fired driving Michael back toward the open balcony doors across the room.

With 2 final shots Michael was thrown out the open door and of the balcony.

“Doc is she ok?” Xander asked returning to the fallen girl and Dr. Loomis

“She’s be ok the cut wasn’t that deep.” Loomis told him.

“It really was the boogie man.” Laurie cried softly.

“Actually it was.” Loomis told her.

Xander nodded as he headed for the stairs to make sure Michael was dead.

Xander reached the front door and looked out at the lawn over to where Michael had fallen.

“You gotta be fucking kidding me.” Xander exclaimed.

Michael was gone.

‘MICHAEL. MICHAEL.’ Xander mentally yelled.

His eyes scanning the area for any movement anything in the shadows

His mind began running every probability he could and 99 percent of them told him he should be dead

He finally truly understood why Laurie and John were afraid that Michael was still around he shot the son of a bitch 6 times and he walked away.

He was gone.

This nightmare wasn’t over it was just beginning.
