143Please respect copyright.PENANAgkV4r3eWUu
"Hello, Payton. I'm Doctor Holly. Do you remember how you got here?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAYsgMzqMBg3
143Please respect copyright.PENANAiRFqB1IjDH
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?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAaQwJaWc9qa
143Please respect copyright.PENANABki78FjIyS
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"143Please respect copyright.PENANAvlPjAF44EA

"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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAAHWRKhCmNI
143Please respect copyright.PENANAAt0MlLQTkv
"Sorry, sorry!"143Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vd0NHxCUv

143Please respect copyright.PENANAVqscrmCxeM
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAiJuJPrYsa4
143Please respect copyright.PENANAlCoLQh0Kz8
"No."143Please respect copyright.PENANA2VJq0Y1HR3
143Please respect copyright.PENANAiUQM5WvriP
"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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAYaHBLMLwuo
143Please respect copyright.PENANAnOV7Ho7QYc
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 143Please respect copyright.PENANAkdMwSMw2kV

143Please respect copyright.PENANAiNXpQ2Hllb

143Please respect copyright.PENANAKmo4vrGnNB
"Payton, you might need a diffrent medication and dosage if that's the case. It's something we can discuss more and work on. I'm just wondering, are you in therapy at all?"143Please respect copyright.PENANAfglDD9F5XN
143Please respect copyright.PENANAE4ui03jkG1
She shakes her head no. "No? Why is that? Don't think it would work? Scared to try?"143Please respect copyright.PENANACdKE79YG4c

143Please respect copyright.PENANAM3cD9zOj6z

"Then what happened?!"143Please respect copyright.PENANAe3FQouM7aE
143Please respect copyright.PENANAqO0a4CWLR1
"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!"143Please respect copyright.PENANAFRMyAUZD4N
143Please respect copyright.PENANAgNpdmZNqJg
"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."143Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ap0nWL0t2
143Please respect copyright.PENANAIKbhvT666M

143Please respect copyright.PENANAbmcMeiQgT2
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAppoUngEPsd
143Please respect copyright.PENANARUjrb4pnL8
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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAm7upLtLwLf
143Please respect copyright.PENANAWiRyoAOhEP
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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANA13zHrvq9wa
143Please respect copyright.PENANAPcnQuysLG9
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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAyFZCGEWfzH
143Please respect copyright.PENANAfGe4zn2e4d
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAJfA3CAbXgP
143Please respect copyright.PENANAh6qqMlaA6v
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANA0IQE0VWoqG
143Please respect copyright.PENANAMWEKb9fh26
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.143Please respect copyright.PENANA7rAaWOYhKf
143Please respect copyright.PENANAsvywUytNsm
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAN4qNTML5RL
143Please respect copyright.PENANAhrwzDTInUZ
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.143Please respect copyright.PENANAjVJoV5Cp0o

143Please respect copyright.PENANA5P3fZIXrMc
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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAFll7lrNYmy

"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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAMNEDNuznV0

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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAZnYG3l4Xl4
143Please respect copyright.PENANAqaYqxQDb5T
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 143Please respect copyright.PENANA945vpyRybV
143Please respect copyright.PENANA7hKYOyjZXy
"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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAKP2rXi34NW
143Please respect copyright.PENANAa0MOSGjYGH
"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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAwUaOWQDFem

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.143Please respect copyright.PENANALvOpK1QlYp
143Please respect copyright.PENANAfkYFTwAVRp
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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANA76aU35vMim

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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAUNFc6dqxev
143Please respect copyright.PENANAzluICDlusM
"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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAWoc0QTkbtm
143Please respect copyright.PENANAteuihHgIjS
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAHy74dBkfcZ
143Please respect copyright.PENANAcvlrelxVlD

"Let go of me!" She yells. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAi1JbCtUIA5

"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAILNtumLFzs
143Please respect copyright.PENANAK4qqsBTuX0
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAZCloIhuP7o
143Please respect copyright.PENANAHBRWOUqNHy
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. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAg1AH4mat12
143Please respect copyright.PENANAl6SZWipdQw
"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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYvVrTgzi

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.143Please respect copyright.PENANAcRMDvxjdre
143Please respect copyright.PENANAGyvsGEULFd
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.143Please respect copyright.PENANA2HoBXyq44Z

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.143Please respect copyright.PENANA70ZTGemjK8

143Please respect copyright.PENANAhJgsgYpmqk
"Okay, okay." Holly says, taking Payton into one with Tom's help. They lay her down on the bed, and exit the room, pulling the door shut behind them, the lock enaging. 143Please respect copyright.PENANAV3DbT9npjl

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.143Please respect copyright.PENANAiWZrDXmWwG
