"No."164Please respect copyright.PENANAcZsKHDvhWe
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfvaM6g8h4l
"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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAuhkXHlkWeK
164Please respect copyright.PENANAO4SY3EzEf6
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 164Please respect copyright.PENANAFIbFywAapG

164Please respect copyright.PENANAzfCewXjsSH
"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!"164Please respect copyright.PENANAOPWgpZa7mu
164Please respect copyright.PENANABqrF4FSr0x
"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."164Please respect copyright.PENANAHcWY2BxYB0

164Please respect copyright.PENANAmbRwD02UjN
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAuRzskFLf2T
164Please respect copyright.PENANAR7nC938DJq
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANA8WjjrQYL4y
164Please respect copyright.PENANA24PtnhCz3g
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAO5gjOzUS37
164Please respect copyright.PENANAMBPu7AlzGZ
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANARS0bMrpRix
164Please respect copyright.PENANA5o7ZV1zwpd
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 164Please respect copyright.PENANA8p3J7Sg6Mz
164Please respect copyright.PENANA53Gm3opV82
"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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAlVon1PvHxA
164Please respect copyright.PENANA11dgosH40p

164Please respect copyright.PENANA270rS1x9K8
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAYsBFBf828i
164Please respect copyright.PENANAcEpu8CEy0g
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.164Please respect copyright.PENANAvZIQO77Dk1

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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAlZcpzvWu2G
164Please respect copyright.PENANAPMUPwZWJOx
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANA0xjDGps63P

"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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAuNX0j4Zhlo

164Please respect copyright.PENANATQ9yFdglWE
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAzGgVpLLX9H
164Please respect copyright.PENANARTg2xQR9MB
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 164Please respect copyright.PENANARTFDxTujPt
164Please respect copyright.PENANAuy9bwQ2pRm
"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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAMcPFBuwwYg
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhtrIZMZipt

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.164Please respect copyright.PENANAHFm1NHmyac
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQZr6bQSTGF
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANApxubeTua6g

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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAaaBOAO9QY2
164Please respect copyright.PENANAj953DSgyxW
"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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAOg8sW1p10q
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVpj7fdhidG
"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.164Please respect copyright.PENANANxduk5klxN

"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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAXGgMfbRgib
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkMG1TIHT
"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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAKEM2hiucSk
164Please respect copyright.PENANABmgD0J0GzI
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. 164Please respect copyright.PENANAN9TOLt6pwj
164Please respect copyright.PENANAKvAfXSYO6e

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.164Please respect copyright.PENANAskrepPl1un
164Please respect copyright.PENANAteG5Goihwn
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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAs2wMW8PU6K

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.164Please respect copyright.PENANAiNjkyIoQH1
