Signing the way.
With a flick of his card key Emmet opened the front door and stepped into the entrance hall, me following behind him. I had been expecting a whole crowd of people to be making the noise that was actually coming from inside the building but I was wrong it was actually just one person.
A girl in her mid teens stood in the middle of the corridor crying her heart out and shouting in a language that was incomprehensible as Esmee, Dr. Jordan and Alice stood around the edges of the room looking helpless and exchanging nervous glances at Each other as the girl continued to sob. Why the hell weren’t they helping her? Why the hell had this one entered into the world behind these doors?
“Hay, what’s going on here?” Emmet asked Esmee as he passed by her and went over to the girl weeping in the center of the room,
“Hi honey, I’m one of the nurse’s here sweetheart. Is there something…” Emmet’s words were cut off mid sentenced by a particularly loud shriek and the girl backing away ten paces from the unfamiliar giant that Emmet was to her.
“Hay, it’s…”
“Emmet, She profoundly death.” Esmee snapped from the corner. Her voice pained as she covered her face in her hands and shook her head from side to side groaning. It must have been killing her inside to see someone in this much pain with absolutely nothing she could do about it.
“So she sign’s?”
“and we don’t.”
A slight smile touched the side of Emmet’s lips before he turned around looked directly at the new girl and raised his hands speaking the words as he started to sign in fluent BSL.
“My name is Emmet, I’m a nurse and I work here. You must be very scared and confused what with out language barriers, but I can sign well and I can answer you questions.”
It's great to come back home from a 3 day trip and find 2 new chapters!
