"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 203Please respect copyright.PENANAmQXuboqzck

203Please respect copyright.PENANAFpD8vZUoxc
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqkuJtNkhan
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFKqoHZtmvZ
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAa0GA1BVv6B
203Please respect copyright.PENANAcXdOEcO9q1
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANA32pMu9BUaa
203Please respect copyright.PENANAIEvUHYIV1b
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAM708RKjxE2

203Please respect copyright.PENANAgkX5VwDsba
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANADjj5nC1rLK

203Please respect copyright.PENANAbGHKWwo7JH
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.

"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAp0QRHBDaYx

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAMVABggmBHM
203Please respect copyright.PENANAiPY8aqBNef
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 203Please respect copyright.PENANAInO7IczQzF
203Please respect copyright.PENANAN3fZo0vMDp
"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANABpTE65E2xz
203Please respect copyright.PENANAaM5qfMwSX3

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.203Please respect copyright.PENANAiL4zJRENW5
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwQJEMi82Sq
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAu13bhHtOXX

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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAQVajbh2Zc6
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMTnQv1mWsu
"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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANA1eKcGxFykg
203Please respect copyright.PENANAscwLSLws7k
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqfaaj0STFJ

"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAioFSL3UGEU
203Please respect copyright.PENANA9gLDP5j46K
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAUa1Sjj4zNU
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGvoh1gW5nx
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. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAhPERBemkBm
203Please respect copyright.PENANA9tefzBgZjC
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAw0OQrELA6K

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.203Please respect copyright.PENANAopuHxpWRsm
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vlj4Qjc7u
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANANIoJCE3SJp

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAozUBL7ys3q

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.203Please respect copyright.PENANArFhtaSyBLk
