The doctors looks up and takes a seat in a computer chair, wheeling it over closer to Payton a little.131Please respect copyright.PENANARM9QSmG3wD
131Please respect copyright.PENANABmN4FSydQs
"Hello, Payton. I'm Doctor Holly. Do you remember how you got here?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAhbhG9yds7V
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyLYghfbYGe
Payton's trying to think, but she feels so groggy. "You seem pretty tired. Didn't sleep well last night? Got up early this morning?"131Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Ix1Tr8DQ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAogfrojyiQ1
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"131Please respect copyright.PENANAS7aYoodOVx

131Please respect copyright.PENANAk9xHWR21nL
"Hey, Holly!" Says one of her colleagues from earlier, the one with glasses. "Yes, Tom?" She begins, the door hitting the chair with Payton's backpack, sending it flying. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAgso32l4poO
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuPWIigqbYJ
"Sorry, sorry!"131Please respect copyright.PENANAvD7loqaefW
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuKoWkRx0AQ

131Please respect copyright.PENANA5wBEc7rbTx
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYD7z6WBw
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPpViI9bIVH
"No."131Please respect copyright.PENANA3WaLcS96WY
131Please respect copyright.PENANAAX4maZaz8Y
"Well, do it now!" He yells at her. "Okay, Payton. I'm just going to inspect your limbs, okay?" Holly says gently, approaching Payton as Tom picks up the container, seeing it's almost empty. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAJj4vG22dgU
131Please respect copyright.PENANA95NHz6b4Vg
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 131Please respect copyright.PENANAuUWoDD6zEI
131Please respect copyright.PENANAK8UObqC7Ye
And Tom goes over and helps, dropping the container on the floor. When they're satisfied they're is no bites, they call for assistance.131Please respect copyright.PENANA8NHIwpHWac
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYkpLzqDu12
Payton feels sick and dizzy, falling unconsciousness harder. When she opens her eyes, waking up again. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAlT2d3SEM1E
131Please respect copyright.PENANAT0MgHXGcm0

131Please respect copyright.PENANAYBFU00QU1l

131Please respect copyright.PENANAVTLK7bdt9D

"Then what happened?!"131Please respect copyright.PENANA5qVtHyv6up
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQJQuaEXUYj
"Well, Payton-" Holly says, taking Payton's hand in hers, Payton pulling it away quickly. "No! I don't know where it has been! There's proably germs, this bed has germs, and these clothes!"131Please respect copyright.PENANAGEBHxVQB22
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6O2fotU9Q9
"I promise you this room is cleaned and steralized between patients, and the clothes are brand new, fresh out the sealed bag. And I washed my hands, wore new gloves from the box. New scrubs too."131Please respect copyright.PENANA6rq2ObARvO

131Please respect copyright.PENANAU5DGTNI0DN
And Dr Holly leaves the room. When she's she's gone, Payton stands and slips out the room, finding the door is unlocked. She tries to walk the opposite direction with confidence, and no one seems to pay any attention to her thankfully.131Please respect copyright.PENANAYLcRWFAfAw
131Please respect copyright.PENANAcqY7eBt8xX
She sees a door read 'Exit' and sees it leads out to a waiting room, exit doors to the street beyond it. This will be easy. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAHtsO80W34q
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7rugx8dZBq
She presses on the door turning to leave when she hears the sound of a flatline, people running to a room. She looks over her shoulder. 131Please respect copyright.PENANARsQfDssiC9
131Please respect copyright.PENANAoUDALHVlKh
Karl. They're pumping on his chest, he was having a heart attack. He was in the street before with her, and... Benji. A little boy, he broke his skate board over... someone's head to save them. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAivDWSNN2Kl
131Please respect copyright.PENANATX9VwUD4eD
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAR44g9JWlSw
131Please respect copyright.PENANAtRrNFVQ0wD
"Payton?" Says a voice. She looks the other way seeing Tom, he is one of Holly's colleagues. She remembers, he knocked her bag over, it's how they discovered her meds.131Please respect copyright.PENANAaMzXJWHH1y
131Please respect copyright.PENANAfVyQlf908u
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.131Please respect copyright.PENANA9CtBdR2UJZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANATunemmBF6s
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 131Please respect copyright.PENANApiKEXi7Dib
131Please respect copyright.PENANAVbSWWJSKSN
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.131Please respect copyright.PENANAxnjfxEXrMJ

She looks around herself in a panic, people fill the room almost to the brim, some are coughing, some are mildly covered in blood, clothes torn. 131Please respect copyright.PENANABLS4Bt5wGY
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkxq92eDWXg
She steps back, bumping into someone and falls to the ground, knocking them over. She realizes she's landed on a young man, dark skin, long hair and deep brown eyes. His wearing scrubs like her. "We'll be going now." Says an older man next to them, dressed in a flashy suit, short blonde hair and gold glasses in the shape of a star. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAioXahVMK2s

131Please respect copyright.PENANAXXAWFCoXGN
"I'm so sorry!" Payton panics, standing up. She reaches a hand out for him to take, but then quickly withdraws it. He huffs, having to help himself up. "No harm done, I guess." He mumbles, looking her over. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAMtYj7dwiXm

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAQJSQnGRKeM

"Do you even know who I am?" He asks. She ignores him. "Hey, wait a minute!" He begs, pulling her arm. She lets out a terrified scream, one his never heard before. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAC4jnQ6rva8
131Please respect copyright.PENANALP1S6snOEk
She falls against the 2nd exit door, and pushes down on the handle madly, it not budging. "The fuck?" The young man her age roughly says. Now everyone's eyes on her. "What did you do, Gabriel?" The Manager Man asks.131Please respect copyright.PENANAZGz6PAsjf9
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyTXlQw51cY
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 131Please respect copyright.PENANAkSytzVDcae
131Please respect copyright.PENANABPK7zHR5MV
"Umm..." The receptionist says, poking her head out a bit. Payton stands up, madly trying the handle again when the door leading back to the ER flys open, Holly, Tom and some other staff file out. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAaqsfX9oVJg
131Please respect copyright.PENANAKitIdP8ggz
"I'm sorry everyone, we we're looking for her. I caution you to look away as this may make some of your uncomfortable and/or upset anyone." Tom appolgizes. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAQcfcLdssS2

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.131Please respect copyright.PENANA4TibwV5q3l
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkR1J3trYgL
Payton hears screaming coming from the TV, and looks up, grainy footage. Upturned cars, smashed windows, police cars driving up to a scene, a person slobbering, running around madly, chewing a front like emergency worker in half, censored blood spewing everywhere. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAp7jgIAqZoP

She can't takes her eyes off it, breathing rapid till the TV goes off, the receptionist aiming the remote at it. "Sorry, everyone!" She calls out appolgizing. Holly cups her hand over her own mouth. "So much for pre-warning." Tom says next to her. 131Please respect copyright.PENANATiTMBSvtwQ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuJcIZcpHH2
"Payton-" Holly begins, just as Payton stands up, preparing to run around the other side of the room when she feels someone take her arm pulling her back who isn't one of the staff. It's the man she crashed into it. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAREmYXLkFDb
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGPj3QvazSi
"Get your grubby hands off me! I don't know where they have been!" She yells at him, smacking him in the shoulder and face.131Please respect copyright.PENANAOAn09jOnyV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgafSbJhYcu
"Ow! Woah, woah, hey!" He says, trying to defend himself when Payton is pulled off him and thrown to the ground. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAMBnffl7yyw

"Let go of me!" She yells. 131Please respect copyright.PENANA90F1o5GGax

"What do we do, what do we do?!" Says Tom. "I don't know, I don't know!" Holly responds, a man in a navy suit appearing behind them and the nurses. He clears his throat.131Please respect copyright.PENANANGOpJoTDKK
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvHpImXQJHM
"Hi, Director!" Tom smiles awkardly. "Well, this undoes us pumping her stomach. Payton, I'm really sorry." Holly says, pulling out a needle and pushing it into Payton's shoulder.131Please respect copyright.PENANAqWd1Fcx9Mj
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkCl2ZC0KTh
She lets out a scream, fighting more till her movements slow down and they gently hoist her up onto her feet. She's passing out, not able to work so they end up dragging her and head back into the ER with her, the hospital director walking away. 131Please respect copyright.PENANAElbjJ8AlCl
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPeZefZjXsA
"Uh, do you want to come with me, Gabriel?" A doctor asks, "I'm Dr Reed. She... did a good number on your face." Says a doctor, having Gabriel that Payton just hurt come with him.131Please respect copyright.PENANAXNTgMYAmY6

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.131Please respect copyright.PENANAPK1bn49lbB
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPYCAUmnakF
The door to the ER closes. "Sir, take a magazine and sit." The receptionist says, turning away from the window, picking up the desk phone next to her.131Please respect copyright.PENANAgswM8syts5

With an unconsciousness patient, and now a injured one, it's a mess for the staff to work out. "Holly, she belongs in Psych." Argues Tom. "You don't think I don't know that?" Holly responds.131Please respect copyright.PENANAc3qTduVdkk

131Please respect copyright.PENANARrSfYep233
"Okay, okay." Holly says, taking Payton into one with Tom's help. They lay her down on the bed, and exit the room, pulling the door shut behind them, the lock enaging. 131Please respect copyright.PENANA0E02ffjQpd

Holly walks over to the phone on the wall, dialing. "Hello? Admission, please. Yes, I'll hold. Hi, this is Doctor Holly, ER floor. Is there any beds avaible? No? Any of end of day discharges scheduled?" She looks to Tom and he shrugs awkwardly, walking away.131Please respect copyright.PENANA3pB0kfjPAG
