She's in a standard hospital ER looking type room. "T-that's mine." 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJDrCjMk4x

"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxX8yTgZ2r
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPOWJyoruJ
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokhet7ilU3

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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UN3EpQaKw

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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTysDiZlXJq

"Sir, as I have been told you. Civillians have been asked to keep off the streets." A receptionist behind a glass window is arguing with the man.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq47morwtC

"It's Manager."192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9n5JxVlDM
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz906rSuGu
"You may be his Manager, but you are not my Manager." The receptionist says annoyed, her patience running out.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH6P95uacJ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXOpkwjfFO

"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEuV8ARas0

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1niwkSmXJg
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGEocUcX8Q
"Oh, now you want to feel me up." He jokes.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mYOzAuwtA

"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1RowFfP9w
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotXfKMAmx
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCS6HxWIf
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMpze0q3VZ
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0MJptLIG
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5fZlFuavp
"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYZO5u3zj2
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3tBYYtZrX
"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ63hP2it9Z

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvfDdDApjI
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdQbjOJeiD
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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBBVNRIumT

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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXADlA8uGz
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzYWgc2bKA
"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBABjo8BeVV
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1aW7aALs2
"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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlcCXSUpD7
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xkf1RqZCh
"Ow! Woah, woah, hey!" He says, trying to defend himself when Payton is pulled off him and thrown to the ground. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSuJWooH6S
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W1VYn496r
"Let go of me!" She yells. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZsB4DcIGk
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKqlBZkhQ6
"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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEe6Cd7f7
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBa2P36rDF
"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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS6nipXpT3
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE17wS4esfv
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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLiiax9EMT
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE66IKy2Gyk
"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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbX68zDpo9
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MZWU8u8Fv
"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwryN9NLif
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e5dHz6tZ3
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfEzXuWLUe

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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdcHvhSHN9
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjwAZuSw7D
"Hey, we need the room she was in now for Mr Superstar here." Dr Reed says, Gabriel standing beside here. "Please don't call me that." Gabriel whispers.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFeHf5ly6

"Put her in one of the temp holding Psych rooms for now, Holly." Dr Reed adds on.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBINmKCqKk6
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6T1BnSHtX
"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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt09MJKz0Bf

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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHSLrglYwq
