"No."215Please respect copyright.PENANAMMFEmS2HyY
215Please respect copyright.PENANAfs7nKVTxIG
"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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAVMRMKCBI0n
215Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qg64Cep8q
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 215Please respect copyright.PENANAzUEHAo3x4Q

215Please respect copyright.PENANAZCHOZwS5Q3
"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!"215Please respect copyright.PENANA8LKkRJYKXB
215Please respect copyright.PENANAEcJ85235vk

215Please respect copyright.PENANA9lfXYhM7ak
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.215Please respect copyright.PENANARq1R6bfBPq
215Please respect copyright.PENANAHPtmHAWNMd
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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAwaGc8gAHmw
215Please respect copyright.PENANALXjVAt9sYW
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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAJOmrKNX6gX
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5rYVbeu661
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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANASM47ipI8cE
215Please respect copyright.PENANAUiR0nensvn
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAzmMjNfJ4Wk
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvlhGacomoT
"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAbqj4iFQiR9
215Please respect copyright.PENANAdDkvmEdbdK

She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAqRiDbv0PbQ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAatqbwRCl69
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.215Please respect copyright.PENANAVGclClTo1P

215Please respect copyright.PENANA5nXlZhikb9
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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAnjE7kZjHgz

"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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANATTurUi6zAK

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.215Please respect copyright.PENANAuxD4o3hDCW

"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 215Please respect copyright.PENANAyrmCVlTjwI
215Please respect copyright.PENANAuASnok52ma
"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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAgUgG1nmD5R
215Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ct1VeNxf

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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAVWr6YhonM5

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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAW4U7nTKTgt
215Please respect copyright.PENANASmpY2IWARf
"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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANA0daQEhjAM0

"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.215Please respect copyright.PENANApuyvexvAmb
215Please respect copyright.PENANAf0kYdnZltJ
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. 215Please respect copyright.PENANAOoRgJKe9Jv
