He writes out his story of a serial killer's murders, then uses the pen to ""inject"" them with the story.

Eventually they are captured and then the author extracts the evil just as they are executed, leaving them confused and then dead. Micki becomes the author's next victim. Fortunately, Jack and Johnny stop her before she can kill anyone other than the author himself.
