203Please respect copyright.PENANApuw9JMde4g
"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!"203Please respect copyright.PENANAvsi9Lf41Mn
203Please respect copyright.PENANAoI6shAGJaa

203Please respect copyright.PENANANWICNDUO7G
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAY2sxdryM5N
203Please respect copyright.PENANAd5kID2RJ9V
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAaGL2sX3kc3
203Please respect copyright.PENANAQtlxRATObM
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAHGBrIa2iIn
203Please respect copyright.PENANAC5uNBzB2R9
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAmx6W5D9LUC

203Please respect copyright.PENANAeaZRQKKnC4
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAAuUEIq8U7v

203Please respect copyright.PENANAJw4rVc0Lue
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.

"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAFWH1SrtdP6

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 203Please respect copyright.PENANABlZAbrJrCV

"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAQbTiam3MSI
203Please respect copyright.PENANANuPzHxTnqU
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAKv0WKzzOGJ
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUXUacr0muH
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 203Please respect copyright.PENANAwvPBxVnb3W
203Please respect copyright.PENANAiKqoRIwnsy
"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAhuNVyQfQJg
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxWXu4enyml
"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAtERTKJJ5dK

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.203Please respect copyright.PENANAxAxMOWT3Jv
203Please respect copyright.PENANAOS3CXy2AQh
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAwpGT40rSRa

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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAn57OBEcGO1
203Please respect copyright.PENANAz9d1SVYPKK
"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAlRqewH3z7B
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKGv1LYbGAy
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwKPYxENJ0b
203Please respect copyright.PENANAa7gnA9V7EV
"Ow! Woah, woah, hey!" He says, trying to defend himself when Payton is pulled off him and thrown to the ground. 203Please respect copyright.PENANA3QAXhMiL7b

"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAMbHFwdxzni
203Please respect copyright.PENANAM0xS75zk2P
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAgny1rtkhsu
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqc4ZUXz9Pa
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAHBQmS379l1
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJdDyXTXlhc
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAsk0G1JLXNN

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.203Please respect copyright.PENANAOgdA6c2Rna
203Please respect copyright.PENANAaVKMuhwX3P
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAVvLtRwh0qH

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAgoM4L08uFL

"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAmQb3lmM416

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAdNP8cf3iWC
