She's in a standard hospital ER looking type room. "T-that's mine." 211Please respect copyright.PENANAWyWMDy7FRF
211Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Rc9u1CBD
The doctors looks up and takes a seat in a computer chair, wheeling it over closer to Payton a little.211Please respect copyright.PENANAw901bXNSAZ
211Please respect copyright.PENANACCER3z6QSt
"Hello, Payton. I'm Doctor Holly. Do you remember how you got here?"211Please respect copyright.PENANARQr3APS2Cy
211Please respect copyright.PENANAxu20WXroQi
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?"211Please respect copyright.PENANA2rOtgaYxZ1
211Please respect copyright.PENANAeox0tTkJlm
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"211Please respect copyright.PENANAyz9Z5f2vzi

211Please respect copyright.PENANAgYbyRHGet1
"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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANASrin8VdwjG
211Please respect copyright.PENANAwpvlzue54l
"Sorry, sorry!"211Please respect copyright.PENANA3OVhjFqMyM
211Please respect copyright.PENANAFjRfPPtkfR

211Please respect copyright.PENANAnl7uHQdanO
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAVSBHQuXa9U
211Please respect copyright.PENANADxLKwUpP6K
"No."211Please respect copyright.PENANAJncVRzEbcL
211Please respect copyright.PENANACjVk2TSaNN
"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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANA3OdGXT3EHq
211Please respect copyright.PENANA5l4eQL32aS
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 211Please respect copyright.PENANApimy8LLeQZ
211Please respect copyright.PENANA1UfWWsLL3n
And Tom goes over and helps, dropping the container on the floor. When they're satisfied they're is no bites, they call for assistance.211Please respect copyright.PENANAbsnTxDD1mM

Payton feels sick and dizzy, falling unconsciousness harder. When she opens her eyes, waking up again. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAhWrEXiQm9e
211Please respect copyright.PENANA0AAK7sxQSS

211Please respect copyright.PENANAPsxFoLJntW

211Please respect copyright.PENANAe4f6lMd8tt

"Then what happened?!"211Please respect copyright.PENANASFv6KJyA85
211Please respect copyright.PENANANfes6myqQ2
"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!"211Please respect copyright.PENANAmYH2U6ap8c
211Please respect copyright.PENANA7zJLqmkjhv
"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."211Please respect copyright.PENANAWlOtfG4Ywz

211Please respect copyright.PENANAqzsGkwvPH3
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANA8ub4ShrG5f
211Please respect copyright.PENANALNZ6fpkRQG
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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAsNUtgNs4Er
211Please respect copyright.PENANARgQSWn99YE
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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAF4hsVT2mxp
211Please respect copyright.PENANAq3nJeQ6eFX
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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAvMiLqn88db
211Please respect copyright.PENANAyC5JKIhB2C
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAQbGbvIXJnj
211Please respect copyright.PENANA9PnVtdSUOs
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANA0Obdyz9is6
211Please respect copyright.PENANACCBJHGj7fF
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.211Please respect copyright.PENANAS6nnSBBVA3
211Please respect copyright.PENANAUjSnXo7b8U
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAgo8k3ZvgRm
211Please respect copyright.PENANACSw1BwjmOf
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.211Please respect copyright.PENANA40WQn6J8lX
211Please respect copyright.PENANASniS4qjHQ7

"Thank you, Amy. I'm here outside-"211Please respect copyright.PENANAWFpl8kwJyb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAJDkh6Cpma4
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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANA1gL0QpNagH
211Please respect copyright.PENANAVZZS8fCn9p
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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANANHfLnESJVs

"It's Manager."211Please respect copyright.PENANAcVRd7xDeW8

"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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANA34uqvzENb4

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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAVEz7NIkp4l

"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 211Please respect copyright.PENANALeTKHW64yL
211Please respect copyright.PENANAad1b9WtR6e
"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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAsSEZWdnyjd
211Please respect copyright.PENANAHXrsu3XLVo
"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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAYOJ4D9X541

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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANALiTPySRhrh

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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAI2HmydHThI
211Please respect copyright.PENANAMfyHdT4vk8
"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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAiD1F7NCriL

211Please respect copyright.PENANAWfKfdJRpqC
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANApqhyveXT89
211Please respect copyright.PENANArI7bKwHmBE
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. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAMJAhUb15tG

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.211Please respect copyright.PENANAyVytIcYV2J
211Please respect copyright.PENANAb0sU9SnV65
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANA2PL5c127jA

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?
