190Please respect copyright.PENANAzONW7FMTb4
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?"190Please respect copyright.PENANAxLKHeGtgId
190Please respect copyright.PENANAPaGFovGX8u
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"190Please respect copyright.PENANAX6UpITSvp0

190Please respect copyright.PENANAeH1ehNZJAD
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 190Please respect copyright.PENANA2fiQOz856H
190Please respect copyright.PENANAmKvqkKrp7v
"No."190Please respect copyright.PENANAf222KGU4Ow
190Please respect copyright.PENANAzJIreUDpzE
"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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAkVeC2pCHj9
190Please respect copyright.PENANAdKeSs3EtbU
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 190Please respect copyright.PENANA0PQPsqwSOH

190Please respect copyright.PENANAlQdxzANNwd
"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!"190Please respect copyright.PENANAdCZi1kRoVB
190Please respect copyright.PENANA0i1xXYu8xq

190Please respect copyright.PENANArLtObCiVeX
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAEfCAlcE05F
190Please respect copyright.PENANA1PUs1VnyFp
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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAK5tPLN5rc8
190Please respect copyright.PENANAlsZjwmOIct
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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAxRjp8bCc6F
190Please respect copyright.PENANARIODTBJXpN
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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAbyWEoUpsme

It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAc5Nmz7E2d2
190Please respect copyright.PENANA7uOgy5oqUR
"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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAyvpYTDcI7u
190Please respect copyright.PENANAiYn28IX4C5

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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAjkIDSpThef
190Please respect copyright.PENANAJoTvNSVlMg
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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAsUU8KyfhUQ

"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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANADghSUPjbqJ

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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAj0X0Lf3amg
190Please respect copyright.PENANAaQChLTDnDm
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 190Please respect copyright.PENANAJtOhQyt0OF
190Please respect copyright.PENANATMqEdZIhlU
"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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAXZkDDaUK9e
190Please respect copyright.PENANACC6hcRMUfS

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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAHoQ5QPylfL

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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANA4DG4d91Klp
190Please respect copyright.PENANAJjRlQXy4Hq
"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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ofmJaPar

"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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAoRK84IXVC4
190Please respect copyright.PENANA4pHNMDW9wk
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. 190Please respect copyright.PENANA4eRoD7z7aG

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.190Please respect copyright.PENANArVXKWvM9r6
190Please respect copyright.PENANArkIFI1syEk
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.190Please respect copyright.PENANApFsGk7VOVv

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.190Please respect copyright.PENANAQaZWTOfo6H
