She's in a standard hospital ER looking type room. "T-that's mine." 142Please respect copyright.PENANAuSUvB3LcFx

142Please respect copyright.PENANAsIyYMYMsQL
"Hello, Payton. I'm Doctor Holly. Do you remember how you got here?"142Please respect copyright.PENANAfvOrtcETWL
142Please respect copyright.PENANAEAmAidupez
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?"142Please respect copyright.PENANACWyMO1eFqW
142Please respect copyright.PENANAzPanj4lQYb
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"142Please respect copyright.PENANAprT42JGnaQ

"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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANA6qcuToC6ZT
142Please respect copyright.PENANAChbDgJmpFw
"Sorry, sorry!"142Please respect copyright.PENANAG4j3arcCHz

142Please respect copyright.PENANAOQIxMdq3lH
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 142Please respect copyright.PENANA0p9tr9eyb8
142Please respect copyright.PENANArqHvQ2jGlh
"No."142Please respect copyright.PENANAc0TckgYvsZ
142Please respect copyright.PENANA1moURUhEBt
"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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANA5binS8srYq
142Please respect copyright.PENANAHkHKdrwk71
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 142Please respect copyright.PENANAkUyeX5iMOf

142Please respect copyright.PENANA3LEMyUK4tn

142Please respect copyright.PENANA55Cfty7iDE

142Please respect copyright.PENANAJyLgN0Q9Lf

142Please respect copyright.PENANAXMoNguX52w

"Then what happened?!"142Please respect copyright.PENANAWsR1UeRRXe
142Please respect copyright.PENANAHCOHccsfYX
"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!"142Please respect copyright.PENANAmIEh2br3Dk
142Please respect copyright.PENANAaWMQYLclQo
"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."142Please respect copyright.PENANAcqp3mFjVgj
142Please respect copyright.PENANAVW4N0yoBrC

142Please respect copyright.PENANAoxDsaeVGUb
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAjVujiDCAwJ
142Please respect copyright.PENANAucONVXtwaP
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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAKYl3W4iAI1
142Please respect copyright.PENANAQiHzwtryCe
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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAFmeJ6sBFxA
142Please respect copyright.PENANAfb2NhIagui
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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANALRFkJ8lafV
142Please respect copyright.PENANAlMQtSCIJGR
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAcSwNVNw91M
142Please respect copyright.PENANAQoSkhrQ9za
"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.142Please respect copyright.PENANACmFNmMeiDt
142Please respect copyright.PENANA9LGzCHnPPV
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.142Please respect copyright.PENANAYN2iHYwrVE
142Please respect copyright.PENANAzlKhNTGzmn
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAbJGF7wP9Hs
142Please respect copyright.PENANAej8b7WOqKL
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.142Please respect copyright.PENANALlyTWC3VKZ

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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAr6H9cpoO8m
142Please respect copyright.PENANAGqDNipHt3N
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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANADzlG5gMpK6

"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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAjrC5SGE5fu

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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAZd9s3b82vM

"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 142Please respect copyright.PENANAbs4Mmdh4ua
142Please respect copyright.PENANAhPF9y29qIj
"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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANA0eSRthpO2h
142Please respect copyright.PENANAxqyyg8QcNr
"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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAT9b3bjdNFZ

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.142Please respect copyright.PENANAdAJp9KbMfW

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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAAZM0E0UaNJ

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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAykQCFOpOMq
142Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ9tcPHcSt
"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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAWgQiedz6dc
142Please respect copyright.PENANAMN7QMfRRK4

142Please respect copyright.PENANAzyDuDVbf51
"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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAFVwmibJggl
142Please respect copyright.PENANA6UGWeId7WA
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. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAARtGYaoYYW

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.142Please respect copyright.PENANAkFWwEx790A
142Please respect copyright.PENANAXmyXz9lRU5
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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAvyZBebpQYN

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.142Please respect copyright.PENANAOUHKYDGSj6
