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. 147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib7DeGl9PG

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. 147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr6zJud5X8

"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. 147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlU2SzSEHo

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36K46OWb6M
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. 147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yaxPa5t9d
