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. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfmvFlT3kx
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

"Not the first time I heard that."143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8GrF8bNlC
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGk0HDrBiV
She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqC06gk8K8
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxr6mFIZy9

143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRTjTShbsy
"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. 143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeZp44HtKB
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG2AneDpMj
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

"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

"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

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
