' ' means she signing

I wake up the next day in the back of the Ambulance I was cleaning last night. I silently sigh and put away all the cleaning supplies. I hear a sizzle and turn around. Sitting in the driver seat is a man in his mid thirties with light green hair with little stripes of orange and blue eyes. I stare at him for a moment before he turns and looks at me. I start to back up and trip over my tool box. Landing on my back I sit up and rub my back. I curse myself out in my head then turn my attention back to the man who had walked up to me while I was cursing myself out.

"Are you alright young one? I didn't mean to frighten you." He asks in a gentle soft voice and I nod my head.

"May I look at your back to make sure it is not buried? I am a doctor so if there is something wrong I can try to fix it."

'Yes you can I don't think there is anything wrong with my back, but there could be.' I sign and he  nods.

'Wait you know sign language?!' I sign surprised.

"Yes I do some of my previous patients used sign language so it became a requirement of mine. I think my sign language is a little rusty though."

I nod and sit on the back of the ambulance. He lifts up the back of my shirt and gasps lightly. I tense up and yank my shirt back down.
