"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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ433tOggdLp
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQaFZCVqjj
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlk5O162XJ

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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaj7TgGJoK
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt9dSctezx
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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74qmwsbvCx

"Sir, as I have been told you. Civillians have been asked to keep off the streets." A receptionist behind a glass window is arguing with the man.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Osup0kpm

"It's Manager."182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqLq46cCjq
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqcWFfFD4a
"You may be his Manager, but you are not my Manager." The receptionist says annoyed, her patience running out.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDezMWIs5

"Uh, hello? Are you okay?" Asks the young man she's lying on. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYQEdaUj8P

"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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGknTQZbMp3

"Not the first time I heard that."182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu25lc2K55
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFrFKoD4kt
She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR623hGYCNx
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWzoJx4hSX
"Oh, now you want to feel me up." He jokes.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvCIa1Fno1

"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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooW1Xc1v11
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SfTccC243
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2tedVWnAQ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI963ICH7Wk
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIAneS9dQg
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU9W3DQwPO
"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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhCK6pJtY
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnHbBgY3KJ
"I'm sorry everyone, we we're looking for her. I caution you to look away as this may make some of your uncomfortable and/or upset anyone." Tom appolgizes. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TGocUCJq3
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrs2pB7xcZ
"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDH4aZ1lNw
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ovzPfFpcF
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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBs986MyEf

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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpHJsq8WL4
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlmC9BZmQo
"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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQAow1YER
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgTvHqqHmK
"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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtayL2jlKj
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm9XJvz3B4
"Ow! Woah, woah, hey!" He says, trying to defend himself when Payton is pulled off him and thrown to the ground. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7h8gxLy2

"Let go of me!" She yells. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe1kgItD2Y
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeISbdWwywB
"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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPbegiqBxU
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEgV1gG6ge
"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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURUTp9kyj6
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXpb0w7YhM
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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3s0cIQzv7
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt4II1NUXt
"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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7SeB2tyI0
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfY5El4nYy
"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMbPegFg25
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbByIHhzSR
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaazmau4Jz

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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTuXZNQbdn
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgpRtyOmbn
"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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgCqLY5jz8

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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yQtopcDGU
