She's in a standard hospital ER looking type room. "T-that's mine." 86Please respect copyright.PENANA1GMyLF9Rkv

86Please respect copyright.PENANA7qmpNfkZbn
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?"86Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4PGL9N2uN
86Please respect copyright.PENANAAPtwEJ5Fcs
Payton doesn't respond. "Okay, well, I'm just going to fill out some paperwork now that I've found your ID card-"86Please respect copyright.PENANA5gbFqxfdRe

86Please respect copyright.PENANArPkYNDD33W
"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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAP55TNlo2os
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmeGEko4Krd
"Sorry, sorry!"86Please respect copyright.PENANAG2FH9be2mw
86Please respect copyright.PENANAIJDaRpmbFM
"Be more careful. These rooms are cramped." She lectures him. Tom goes and picks up the bag, a bright orange pill container rolling out, showing the label.86Please respect copyright.PENANAeNC2JVXdoi
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmCSff4kfFO
They both eye in and mouths drop open. "Have you inspected her for bites yet?" He asks. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAJPdWj2C9V4
86Please respect copyright.PENANAvZrqgl0jHe
"No."86Please respect copyright.PENANA5rdPJPJwXH
86Please respect copyright.PENANApXhTnaFLhp
"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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAuJJBkT9Cxx
86Please respect copyright.PENANAlWZvNf1grU
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 86Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z7AtX3GbT

Payton feels sick and dizzy, falling unconsciousness harder. When she opens her eyes, waking up again. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAaYCmRsqrZh
86Please respect copyright.PENANAV0s8gjXruU

86Please respect copyright.PENANA7BEPeY2oYh

86Please respect copyright.PENANAhN8PaJ2XgE
She shakes her head no. "No? Why is that? Don't think it would work? Scared to try?"86Please respect copyright.PENANArY2YNpEMQB

86Please respect copyright.PENANAoC3PgYc4KW

They bought you here. I understand there is some gaps in your memory, but they might come back, there is a pretty good chance of it.86Please respect copyright.PENANAKmaynn49Ld

86Please respect copyright.PENANAXkSndFknCF
"Then what happened?!"86Please respect copyright.PENANAPMSlKThgHt
86Please respect copyright.PENANAUiJPYajZZQ
"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!"86Please respect copyright.PENANAYLcFqxKGJl
86Please respect copyright.PENANAH0MXB2MfVm
"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."86Please respect copyright.PENANA5TffcmQWIr
86Please respect copyright.PENANA499gRGiNg7

86Please respect copyright.PENANAx5qqVWvlwi
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.86Please respect copyright.PENANAB2q4Lq6RjH
86Please respect copyright.PENANAZBlxtVQYzc
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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAw8YSPi47mH
86Please respect copyright.PENANAKG530fxSoE
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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANA0ky5kUXtRI
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmUgxOXN4X3
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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAuboR4upUhe
86Please respect copyright.PENANApg44fj0Mm0
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAPSPpIuSMku
86Please respect copyright.PENANAafoyQp6QHR
"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.86Please respect copyright.PENANAYrYU96RRFL
86Please respect copyright.PENANA9HatiGp7P6
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.86Please respect copyright.PENANAcyZ4qVmBSc
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0aTo0IUvo4
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAnsgniWywp8
86Please respect copyright.PENANAgFdZgSo4ZG
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.86Please respect copyright.PENANAz8xqM7dFYG
86Please respect copyright.PENANANmU3sTeHuh

"Thank you, Amy. I'm here outside-"86Please respect copyright.PENANArmzO8m2toJ
86Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ82FwerQq
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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANANGkvF1YRa1
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmwSKJh5oRS
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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAfeFQCyXuyX
86Please respect copyright.PENANACmLx6Nh5g1
"Let's go, Gabe."86Please respect copyright.PENANA7k2oejfXNi

86Please respect copyright.PENANA8wwIqJLy4r
"It's Manager."86Please respect copyright.PENANAZxVMa7dGxU

"Uh, hello? Are you okay?" Asks the young man she's lying on. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAHF2GMAEGrk
86Please respect copyright.PENANAruC5OJzLFK
"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. 86Please respect copyright.PENANAGiWMYzT178
