What if he did come back here, looking for the camp counselor that caused him to drown as a boy, searching for the one that decapitated his vengeful mother?

Biography[]
Megan Garris, daughter of Sheriff Mike Garris, slated to be one of the counselors at Camp Forest Green, arrived with several of her fellow counselors to report the disappearance of two other counselors the previous night (they had, in fact, been murdered by Jason himself, who was on the move to Crystal Lake himself). Though Tommy Jarvis, who was locked up the night before, cited their disappearance as evidence of Jason's return, he was rebuked by everyone except Megan, who took a liking to him.
Meanwhile, Jason murdered a group of paintballers and another counselor. When Megan's father discovered the bodies, he deduced that Tommy himself, living out a delusion of Jason's return, was the killer, and could not be convinced otherwise even though Megan insisted that Tommy was with her during two of the killings. When Tommy and Megan subsequently joined forces to defeat Jason, they were intercepted by a roadblock and taken to the police station, allowing Jason to slip into the summer camp and kill the remaining counselors.
Tommy and Megan escaped the police station and made their way to the camp; Garris and his deputies were already there. After seeing to the children's safety, Garris and his fellow cops were ambushed and picked off by Jason himself. Realizing too late that Tommy was innocent and telling the truth, Garris pitted himself against Jason in a showdown... only to be butchered by the undead killer.
Megan avenged her father's death by slaying Jason with an outboard motor from the boat.
