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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCLZy4Iw8R

"It's Manager."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVhGapciSi

"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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjrVOpkmQH

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGephySMIz

"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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5cbVbhka0

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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKKkGTngva
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKShkLmk9mR
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAjdtZ50aa
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglfbCFWbzJ
"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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW2r87WAhs
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLAutQPX36

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbASZPsZEm
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB3g3WJxGb
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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9up6ohF9xa

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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOQ4IgoKSK
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS4KTpmB6d
"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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwxtEZjsh7
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCV2ljZYtm
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvFqHz4Ov7

"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6oEy67RU8
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddC26vAy2u
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbieg2GIwY
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbnern9P72
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. 138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR527mmqi3
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTVqEWPPRb
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w2L2SER7s

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jba6WaAX4
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUU6QuzMmX
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6lGeI4XdS

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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDeGtrEfPF
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDOeV32HPq
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZqWukdW4Y

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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfjGSzbSx
