63Please respect copyright.PENANACQeveGQSLm
"Sorry, sorry!"63Please respect copyright.PENANAgz8iSh0Tro
63Please respect copyright.PENANAJiyDIqur0I

63Please respect copyright.PENANACIQucjf0pv
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 63Please respect copyright.PENANAyN1YfnylYy

63Please respect copyright.PENANAuD9XNRJiVd
"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!"63Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hh47elVBC
63Please respect copyright.PENANAD063DDkdre
"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."63Please respect copyright.PENANAEIUitK4YcQ

63Please respect copyright.PENANAXQh3SwMXBW
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.63Please respect copyright.PENANAilun65Jlq0
63Please respect copyright.PENANAhYz5eDrZdz
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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANAolg6fLLGce
63Please respect copyright.PENANAmXQmSNW63w
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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANA9IcU59zjrG
63Please respect copyright.PENANAV7oOEZHIkb
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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4DTjgty2O
63Please respect copyright.PENANArmKMkcthbX
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 63Please respect copyright.PENANA9dfbFFR2Id
63Please respect copyright.PENANAT0mFbw5jXJ
"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.63Please respect copyright.PENANA90jlPZlYT8
63Please respect copyright.PENANAq7ETnplDKs
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.63Please respect copyright.PENANAMcjkCZAy2C
63Please respect copyright.PENANA8FaGJajZTK
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 63Please respect copyright.PENANANhMx7QJbX2
63Please respect copyright.PENANAuwC7I0MQML
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.63Please respect copyright.PENANA311SSFmowM

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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANAF43foJYHSF
63Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ho4J8ug7
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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANAqR6pn4DWbp

63Please respect copyright.PENANAwLc8CzXqHQ
"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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANADm8oW0JVN9

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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANA2hUWbyucV7

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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANAv88H15UxrD

"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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANA8gTsg4Cfv8

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. 63Please respect copyright.PENANAqKFAagubnL
