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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKWOwbKo2v
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwM1ff24Li
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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAbWNX6w3m

"It's Manager."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOjZt2QMTr

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjURNX3Fl3X
"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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW4dTp2pHb

"Not the first time I heard that."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvTzRL6TMX
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RvjDQHqOd
She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tYw9ZtD4
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcqh2GgNv

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4oBhsQRjQ
"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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3IRTFrsia
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2JRjCYwBP
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGchlGA4kJ3
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8A6jppZC5
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx6VJEFWDr
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVTLehxhYT
"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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UutHBAHYv
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNxwVsIiba

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6sVPGtbXs
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnBNhJEWKt
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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaPBH5kxvB

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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzHyrHelKV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4AiFdHn09
"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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq7yfJoki8
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5lXpvgRmg
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z8ZYxS9Nx
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWaS1Ib1QJ

"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqrZNlVkKV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpevxit0Iri
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrw14YEUvz
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbucv46ITBm
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. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFBvTZWId
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYMmCbTWM
"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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhCTVYILLX
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKaMqMTs9R
"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlXLwMiuRc
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3xEfmGvRN
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDqndLbhco

216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zEcqAdu3w
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.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg4ssurW1D
