Act One: Coming back to Woodsboro

Tate was in his car heading to the Meeks-Martin household, as he got a call from his friend Mindy Meeks-Martin telling him what had happened to Tara. Tara and Tate were always close until he left a couple of months after his ex-girlfriend did. But his reasoning was because his parents had divorced, and his mom was moving to New York to host her own morning show while his dad stayed in Woodsboro. So, once he found out about the attack of Tara he got the next plane to Woodsboro without his mom knowing.

He eventually got to the Meeks-Martin household. Tate parks the rentable car, then turns off the ignition then takes out the key. He then got out of the car, closing the car door as he headed towards the front door of the Meeks-Martin household.

He knocked on the front door, and he only waited for a couple of seconds until a woman opened the door and looked up to see Tate.

"Oh my god, Tate. You're back?" Martha, who is Mindy and Chad's mother, hugs Tate when he returns.

"Come in, your dad is here as well." Martha smiled as she moved aside for Tate to walk in.

"Really?" Tate asked as Martha nodded her head as her answer, she pointed to the room and smiled at Tate before he headed in the room, he heard people talking as he made his way to the room, everyone stopped talking and looked over at Tate.

"Tate, you're here." Mindy stands up from where she was and goes over to Tate, pulling him in for a hug.

"Hey, Minds." Tate chuckled as he pulled away from Mindy.

"Hey, bro." Chad nods toward Tate who was sitting next to his girlfriend.

"Son, what are you doing here?" Dewey stood up and went over to his son.

"Mindy told me what happened with Tara." Tate slid his hands into his pockets as he looked at his father and then looked behind him to see his ex-girlfriend. He just freezes as he looks at Sam, not believing that this was real, until he snaps out of it within a few seconds. He couldn't look at her anymore, but looked back at his father.

"Does your mom know you're here?" Dewey asked his son, who scratched the back of his head, shaking it.

"Your mother is gonna kill us both." Dewey sighed before pulling his son in for a tight hug.

Dewey went back over to sit next to Tate's ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. Where Tate sat next to Amber and Chad while Mindy was standing up.

Tate could see that Sam was looking over at him, with the corner of his eyes, he doesn't look at her so he keeps her eyes forward at Mindy.

"Wait, you're his son?" Tate turned to see Sam's new boyfriend looking at him, Tate looked over at him and rolled his eyes.

"No, he called me son for the sake of it." Tate says sarcastically.

Richie, who is Sam's boyfriend, looked over at Tate with a smirk on his face before looking back at Sam who was still looking at Tate.

"So, as we were saying before Tate came in, let me get this straight, you're saying that you're the daughter of Billy Loomis, and, what, that one of us is the killer," Chad said as he looked over at Sam.

"The killer told me he knows my secret, he attacked Tara to lure me back here" Sam replied as she looked over at Chad.

"But then why immediately go and murder some douche-nozzle that was stalking Liv," Chad questioned.

"Why does it have to be one of us, what about deputy Dewey here and since Tate is back maybe he is as well," Wes said.

Tate turned his head to look at the boy and Wes looked back at Tate and then back at Dewey. "No offense," he added.

"None taken, but what's our motive," Dewey asked.

"You got stabbed like a billion times, got dumped by your famous wife, and crawled into a bottle" Wes replied as he looks over at Dewey then back at Tate who glares at the Hicks boy.

"Well, maybe you're the killer cause that cut deep" Dewey lets out a breath.

"And you could be the killer because of how the limelight got to you from your parents and then when you and Sam broke up and when she left that pushed you to the edge." Richie says as he looks over at Tate, who stands up.

"Maybe it's you...always the love interest..." Tate looked at Richie, then at Sam.

"Anyway, can we all get back on track? That douche nozzle is connected. I just googled, his mom is Leslie Macher. Stu Macher's sister." Amber says as she was looking down at her phone then looking back up at everyone.

"Who's Stu Macher?" Liv questioned.

"Oh my god," Amber groaned.

"He's Billy Loomis's accomplice, a real looney tune," Dewey said.

"Okay. Okay, so the first three attacks are all on the people related to The original Killers" Sam says as she looks at everyone then she looks back at Tate who was standing up.

"Oh, my God. He's making a requel!" Mindy says.

"A what," Sam asked, confused.

"Or a legacy quel. Fans are torn on the terminology." Mindy continued.

"Mindy, please speak English." Tate says as he looks over at her.

"Remember the Stab movie that came out last year?" Mindy asks as she sat up straight.

"Oh, yeah! The one the Knives Out guy directed? I actually really liked that one." The girl next to Chad speaks up as she looks at Mindy.

"Of course you did. You have terrible taste." Mindy looks over at the girl.

"I hate you."

"The point is the hardcore Stab fans hated it. You go on 4chan or Dreadit all they're talking about is how Stab 8 pissed on their childhoods. How they crammed in social commentary just to elevate. How the main characters of Mary Sue" Mindy explained.

"What's a Mary Sue?" Richie asked.

Tate rolled his eyes and scoffed under his breath as he crossed his arms.

"You really don't want to know," Wes told Richie.

"What's wrong with elevated horror? I mean, Jordan Peele fucking rules." Amber said.

"Obviously, but that's not Stab. Real Stab movies are meta slashers who did it, full stop" Mindy explained.

"Come on, it's just a movie," Sam said.

"No, It's not, to some people the original is their favorite thing in the world. The movie that made them love horror. That Mom or Dad showed them when they were 10 that bonded them together. And God help anyone who slightly fuck with that special memory. Who makes a movie they think disrespects it" Mindy says as she stood up and was now standing next to Tate. "It sounds like our killer is writing his own version of Stab 8, but doing it as requel." She continued.

"Which is" Dewey questioned.

"See, you can't just reboot a franchise from scratch anymore. The fans won't stand for it. Black Christmas, Child's Play, Flatliners, That shit doesn't work. But, you can't just do a straight sequel either. You got to build something new. But not too new or the internet goes bug fucking nuts. It has to be part of an ongoing storyline even if the story shouldn't have been ongoing in the first place. New main characters yes but supported by and related to legacy characters" Mindy said pointing at Dewey then at Tate. "Not quite a reboot, not quite a sequel, like the new Halloween, Saw, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters, fuck even the Star wars! It always goes back to the original" she continued with a small smile on her face.

"Are you telling me that I'm caught in the middle of a fan-fucking-fiction" Sam asked.

"Not just the middle, Sam..." Mindy said sitting in front of her. "You're the star"

"So, not to put too fine a point on it, but according to requel rules, who's next," Liv asked.

"Going by the pattern whoever it is has to be connected to someone that came before" They all looked at Dewey and then over at Tate.

"I'm starting to regret coming here," Dewey said softly as he looked at everyone.

"Same, Dad. I should've stayed in New York with mom." Tate placed his hands into his pockets.

"Jesus my mom was a character in one of them" Wes states.

"No one cares about the shitty and furious sequels, Wes you're safe. With Randy as our uncle though you and I are probably screwed" Mindy turned to her twin brother.

"Wait what," Chad said.

"Or you're the killer in this whole elaborate monologue is just a cover of your tracks" Richie says as he looks over at Mindy and Tate scoffs which made Richie look at him.

"What's your problem?" Richie looks over at Tate.

"Who made you the detective here? You don't know anything about anyone here except Sam, do you really think to start accusing people?" Tate says with an annoyed tone.

"You're quite getting defensive, maybe it is you. Because of your parents divorcing and Sam leaving." Richie replied with a smirk on his face.

Tate looks at everyone who is quiet, so he scoffs and stands up and heads to the front door.

"Wait, where are you going?" Sam says as she watches her ex boyfriend walking away.

"Since, when did you care?" Tate looks over at her, before leaving the Meeks-Martin household then walking to his car, he gets in it and he sits there for a few minutes thinking then a knock on his window brings his attention to see Sam standing there.

Tate rolls his eyes, starting his car and driving off to his dad's trailer. He gets out of his car and heads inside. A few minutes went by and he was changing his shirt as a knock on the trailer door was heard.

He goes over to the door, opening it to see Sam. He rolled his eyes before closing the door but she pushed right past him, then turned around to look at him.

"Come in, why don't you." Tate closed the door behind him as he looked at Sam.

"Can we talk?" Sam starts as she looks over at Tate.

"I have nothing to say to you." Tate walked past her, their shoulders brushing against each other.

"Tate, please." Sam grabbed onto his forearm, he turns to look at her

"Billy Loomis is my dad....I found out when I was 13 when I was in my parents attic looking for Christmas presents. And I found these old diaries that my mom had...I read them because my mom got pregnant with me in high school, and I thought it would be cool to find out how her and my dad got together. How romantic it must have been..So I read some. Only it wasn't romantic. My Mom was dating my Dad, but...she was in love with this other guy...he got my Mom pregnant. She told my Dad that it was his..and that's why my Dad proposed senior year. And I'm sitting in the attic, and I'm 13...and I just found out my dad isn't my dad. So, I went to find my Mom in her bedroom and I was screaming at her and shoving this diary in her face, and I didn't even realize my Dad was standing right behind me. My Dad didn't know. My Dad found out right then from me. My Dad left that night. I was the reason he left. My Mom never forgave me...Then I met you...I couldn't tell you...I didn't know how to tell you Tate...that's why I left...My real dad was Billy Loomis. Tate I'm so sorry that I left..." Sam explained as she put her head down, Tate just looked at her and he ran his fingers through his hair and he looked at his feet.

"Get out." Tate doesn't even look at her as he says it.

"Tate please."

"I said get out" Tate repeated as he points to the front door, then looking back up at Sam. "Go back to your douchebag of a boyfriend."

Sam looked at him as tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him, before stepping closer to him. "You don't know anything about him..."

"I don't wanna know about him, but what I know is that I don't trust him..but you must have a thing for douchebags." Tate tells her as he crosses his arms. "I needed you Sam! When my parents were divorcing I needed you! And you left!" Tate added as he looked at her, as Sam looked at him with tears rolling down her face.

Sam stepped closer to him, cupping his face and pulling him into a hug, at first Tate didn't hug her but within a few seconds he decided to hug her back. They both pulled away and stared at each other for a few seconds before they both leaned in, you could feel the tension between the both, that is until there was a knock on the door, and it being half opened, Tate and Sam quickly backed away and looked towards the door to see Gale.

"Mom?"

Gale smiled at them both before stepping further into the trailer. "What's going on here?"

"Nothing." Tate and Sam both say simultaneously.

"Right...give your mother a hug." Gale puts down her bag as she opens her arms towards her only son.

Tate walked over to her, and hugging his mother before he pulled away, she would punch his arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" Tate winced as he rubbed his arm as he looked at his mother.

"That's for not telling me where you were." Gale said as he looked at her son. "You take after your father Tate, speaking about your father, where is he?"

"I don't know, he texted me a couple of minutes ago saying that he was heading to the Hicks Household." Tate told his mother before Gale looked over at Sam. "Who's this?"

Tate looked behind him to see Sam was standing there. "This is Sam...my ex girlfriend." He looks back at his mom as he slides his hands into his pockets.

"Nice to meet you." Gale shakes her hand and gives Sam a small smile, just then Gale gets a phone call from one of her colleagues telling her something had happened at the Hick's household so they need her to go there to see what's happened.

"Something happened at Hick's Household." Gale looks at her son who grabs his keys and goes straight to his car, which made Sam follow behind her, she gets into her car which she drove to Dewey's trailer to speak to Tate.

They get to the household to see ambulances and police outside it, Gale stays behind as she has another phone call, so Tate and Sam walk towards the tape until they get stopped by an officer. They both saw an officer cover up Sheriff Hicks' body with a blanket. "Oh, shit." Tate mumbled as he and Sam went to go under the tape they both get stopped by a male officer. "Sir, Miss, you both can't be here. You can't be here." The male officer says as he stands in front of Tate and Sam.

"No. I'm sorry."

"We know her son." Tate says as he stands next to Sam.

"Her son, Wes. Is he...?" Sam questioned as she tried to move past the officer.

"I'm sorry."

Sam and Tate both share a look before they went backwards then going under the tape.

"I'm sorry."

Gale got out of the company car that she had used to have her private call with, and she went over to her son and Sam.

"Did you know the Sheriff?" Gale asked Sam as she looked at her.

"Sort of." Sam replied as she watched Tate go over to speak to his dad. "She didn't like me very much." Sam looked back at Gale.

"I don't know if Tate told you but me and my sister were attacked." Sam continued.

"No, he didn't but I'm sorry to hear that." Gale says as she looks at Sam.

"I know we met before but Tate introduced me as his mom but I'm Gale." Gale stuck out her hand and then looked over at Dewey and Tate who were speaking. "Riley. Weathers. I'm Gale Weathers. Excuse me." Gale gave her a small smile before she headed to Dewey and Tate. Tate gave his mom a smile before he went back over to his ex girlfriend.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Tate asked Sam as he crossed his arms as he looked at her.

"He's gone to check on Tara." Sam replied

"Right..." Tate mumbled as he went over to his car and got in and started his car and headed to the hospital.
