141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J9FiC3VUX
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb7uSWYxxH

141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ550EA9lkB9
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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoe9P2OoWe

"It's Manager."141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbYfbTGAwG

"You may be his Manager, but you are not my Manager." The receptionist says annoyed, her patience running out.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3jxYGGpzn

"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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsybXxCExrJ

"Not the first time I heard that."141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcsgKeunFV
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHvL6Uz0Fz
She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qxC49TACg
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEk9OQgZI
"Oh, now you want to feel me up." He jokes.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl65ZlHZbkv

141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0UGI44W7J
"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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqoamgcdZS
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiV95M3mpR
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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA7MRgTzWd
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXpiXgnUfl
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWS3FYfFwK
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg14xtBHdj6
"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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHCwQ8MtAj
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a4KSKGN0b

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67CiMjA6zh
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzAq2yfJ66
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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn5Mk7b4Ot

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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN9t3wPRb8
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfgx3NHAGx
"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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLRKaljh6Y
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvDdJQxZmd
"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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb5UEeSmgO
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bi0leKGcL
"Ow! Woah, woah, hey!" He says, trying to defend himself when Payton is pulled off him and thrown to the ground. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKCkbvHsk3

"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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dGHIGoeEz
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qo8Z5vI4D
"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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0JnPWFkqs
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrwVwWuLXo
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. 141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2dW70YG1u
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YYC1iuoXa
"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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC5wNuV8DW
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYRJo9f2J1
"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ewkHXhPG
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jl16TCCtj
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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73q8MXwVI0

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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaalZnIDAF
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9ttAeJud
"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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkdUMHC9vJ

141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LLr06YytF
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.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKIHw67LQZ
