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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLlXzgc3d9
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70P2ZHJ0fb
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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc9wgndX2K

"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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DM0ujIoKE

She doesn't say anything, and looks at the exit doors. "I should be going." She says, pushing him out of her path. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xkhk3DvMn
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA1ibLZlkt

"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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqBpFWHoC1
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE5PHgQog5
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwgPgL9MR1
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5Zw1GQJN
"Nothing! She bumped into me!" 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA53YJTtir
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBded7tChY
"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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLylgWXc85
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn9qRkSSfG

"Payton, we need to get you back in bed." Holly urges gently.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquvBaDuAZF
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bAX241KkL
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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FAoB3XCiJ

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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2svbFdgW6V
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ7MNzjhSv
"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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONjJgKUasL
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCfDxJ3Biz

"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QHt8vhss5
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E5zJUNqQf
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmHcSoVCG
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAw6WZuT4O
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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG0iqc4Sqa
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bg6U7uzNJ
"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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bv8Tv2jSr

"I thought we we're leaving!" Says the man at the window, no longer arguing with the receptionist.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgJy26r6JF
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVftCDKdQK
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Vryd72TO

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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhIWfsuE2d
