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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8x02qSK8h
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP6EEdFgeH
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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJV30dkrJ5

"It's Manager."168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXEBeD6o2N

"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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMs5TlHhYx

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMVoUKfsJ8
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocCxzi4jqs

168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW0mf9fm63
"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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0WbX5ycXZ

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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioOcUpfyox
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZgPkw6fXI
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqMAgGOs6J
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fceC7WvS8
"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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYNawHr0d
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqZsioH11n

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxElulDT2gz
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsBCc2Wzng
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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv0vXfBSE3

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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoquAwzpI7z
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxIQJBZQ28
"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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ccoRUgsEh
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74WEHb98ML
"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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl589zfuTY
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EYhrBTSHA

"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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr51rGD8Iq
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRnCSqnhJS
"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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHpf2ZcCMJ
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE6FHoTp8B
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. 168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdiLALUMB
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGkZbRPcrX
"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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Npo2EjH4W

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkT7NgQe8U
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kw0MDN0Us
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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3uN0vWqaX

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.168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgiCWutQyJ
