"Hello, Payton. I'm Doctor Holly. Do you remember how you got here?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAPVPX8MhEcV
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQwm1PIYx30
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?"146Please respect copyright.PENANAd2DC1etJkt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAm0oGPW6CfH
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"146Please respect copyright.PENANApvsaNAi9BW

146Please respect copyright.PENANAB59FJ7CSCg
"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAnFPjfG46UD
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZu6YvB6T4c
"Sorry, sorry!"146Please respect copyright.PENANAeadhlVhrWd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAD7pnJZ9aFf

146Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0NIFw0BVP
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAATbkpL9ogA
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEqWPV6lAtv
"No."146Please respect copyright.PENANAFJmTitTVcm
146Please respect copyright.PENANAqJZD4DqMIP
"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAtOLQx2Lekh
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZaxDlxPKG2
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 146Please respect copyright.PENANANWKgm7xT54

146Please respect copyright.PENANAOt9bB58mrQ

146Please respect copyright.PENANAHAGiGcjsST

146Please respect copyright.PENANABdZlfPwBAy

146Please respect copyright.PENANA9g9XrvUyHi
"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!"146Please respect copyright.PENANAuln0XV2DxH
146Please respect copyright.PENANAFJYoS0nnEv
"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."146Please respect copyright.PENANAjqBoMiGqth

146Please respect copyright.PENANAb3rJGHIq1G
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAsi7YwsOyyS
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdg0izW4iJq
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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAvl7OCBX7fJ
146Please respect copyright.PENANA4cRc5XHB17
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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAEtW0s219Bt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAxTZkU2MCRe
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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAO9UBUUxDWv
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmUqAFXXXh0
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ5v3HXTDT
146Please respect copyright.PENANAakiVL9jrZ8
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAUQQKTvtNVR
146Please respect copyright.PENANAKUqhm26WKQ
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.146Please respect copyright.PENANAxPWrIHVNJt
146Please respect copyright.PENANAmD3E0NPP0m
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAw9H3V6IFS8
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOjCodg0djM
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.146Please respect copyright.PENANAAY9UDoePWo

146Please respect copyright.PENANAYwyq7I3c5w
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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANA1aLrsnbSXc

"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAokI4P9cxRw

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 146Please respect copyright.PENANA93XJcs4UCl

"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAwtVEt4WC5a
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2bi0Yiysz0
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAPuD6GsFddr
146Please respect copyright.PENANALTTzo0I3SB
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 146Please respect copyright.PENANAKjUI60ADlN
146Please respect copyright.PENANA1tUHPCsyji
"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANARkl3PjESg9
146Please respect copyright.PENANAZFmLwPefq7
"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAspMpn9NyA0

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.146Please respect copyright.PENANAcjUxPNcWhT
146Please respect copyright.PENANANb5bxSjliv
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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAF519Zj0ERO

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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAoeUVEIMnJd
146Please respect copyright.PENANAsiFvxmgubB
"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANADL8D2b4D7w
146Please respect copyright.PENANAa9AuTV9ffR
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANArh4miBeKTt
146Please respect copyright.PENANACRPtUXuou8

"Let go of me!" She yells. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAKeBsYSnBuX

"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANALFagohawYi
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMyCdm4nMyX
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9v3xz6TLi
146Please respect copyright.PENANAzwfoJm6jpj
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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAOox2zZrFf6
146Please respect copyright.PENANAOlhBvlT1Bf
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANA0vXF9ZiG1E

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.146Please respect copyright.PENANAJGRcZM3I7A
146Please respect copyright.PENANAStEtEj6xXo
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.146Please respect copyright.PENANARQslJCrfII

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.146Please respect copyright.PENANAU06rOJFvgX
146Please respect copyright.PENANAYokVKrgncr
"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.146Please respect copyright.PENANANtiOw5vneK

146Please respect copyright.PENANA2QbPiR9VES
"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. 146Please respect copyright.PENANAqXHqeIlw8Q

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.146Please respect copyright.PENANADO4Rdrdsxq
