153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZfS74usb2
"I'm not seeing any bites. Can you help, two would be faster." 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hwzz65tb1

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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfnj3G4RLr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ3oAFWv03
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3n6GABjIR

"It's Manager."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLSA6LWuwA

"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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLcYdFVcBo

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaUZKwQSLQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNVFfbGw37
"Oh, now you want to feel me up." He jokes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQ6Bmwhmd

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYoTOZX1g
"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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcItksEEsWk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6v4PnQPYO
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w7x6k13x5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6dFcp9XuZ
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxz7mhdl8U
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfenk18nGXa
"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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZAAgtzKN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiyrz0a7OC

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVdyYIDPUN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsooVZEK6Lf
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhugiHIp5a

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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKQnnFXI24
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EAtMTis1o
"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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h50Lu6aaH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn06xD2LrvX
"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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobA7tkydeQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavzwZN4AkE
"Ow! Woah, woah, hey!" He says, trying to defend himself when Payton is pulled off him and thrown to the ground. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohZH14kX0u

"Let go of me!" She yells. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimO9RTwcuQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0LWzDGsbR
"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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCRnxdymTN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFET8hGVx
"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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvc8wf8VcJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdXZ2gFwRC
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. 153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjAbWRIUes
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH4GAIBwrg
"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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pk8p83lZN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFocdcaRMGP
"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Cy1DEcDX
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG01NPXixy
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMrUSzjqQg

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Ncs4Lq0k
"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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfsf55MvFo

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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPUDs0JaB
