74Please respect copyright.PENANAzNN8ONB6e7
"Sorry, sorry!"74Please respect copyright.PENANAj0yFHk4fTQ
74Please respect copyright.PENANApjwj6Y0Vph

74Please respect copyright.PENANARzc5VCEUwh

74Please respect copyright.PENANAG3EDl0ROv2
"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!"74Please respect copyright.PENANAaZxT8mYWBL
74Please respect copyright.PENANA11yzyD8F8i

74Please respect copyright.PENANAYaWLUeZfun
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.74Please respect copyright.PENANASItvDGd4PN
74Please respect copyright.PENANAVOSB3gxcuX
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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAYIoRK9cOOW
74Please respect copyright.PENANAsgoCE80ViW
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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAn55ZUtpSAW
74Please respect copyright.PENANApNTS3yMV2M
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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAOCTuOI5rH7
74Please respect copyright.PENANA0bv36GGSfO
It doesn't really make sense. Where are her colleagues from the bakery if her and Karl is here. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAuk2pvb3GKd
74Please respect copyright.PENANAiDT0DsFdkF
"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.74Please respect copyright.PENANA2A5kSuQkOp
74Please respect copyright.PENANAJmHZ3y8uHb
"Payton, I'm Dr Tom. Can you come back towards me, please?" He gestures, holding a hand out.74Please respect copyright.PENANAw70whFAJTr
74Please respect copyright.PENANAYKYuIi2gc3
She pushes open the exit door infront of her to the waiting room. "Shit! Holly!" Tom screams, running back the way he came. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAWT2gWO3F49
74Please respect copyright.PENANAzAsXiS1tHi
She runs into the waiting room, alot more noise out here than in the ER, more colored lights, the TV blares.74Please respect copyright.PENANAei07i3TjqC

74Please respect copyright.PENANAYwDQQatO5G
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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAOkdBg9JtBk

"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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANADWs5IwesVF

"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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAXKA8d8oWrG

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. 74Please respect copyright.PENANAU1wl3c1nE9
