"Mac, I would you to meet the former foster kids." Frankie said as one walked towards Mac first and introduces himself. 

"Hi Mac, its nice to finally meet you. The name's William but you can call me Wilt." The man said as he shook hands with him.

He was lengthy man wearing a red basketball team shirt and athletic sneakers. 

"Oh, its nice to meet you." Mac said while shaking his hand with his head leaning back so he can see the guy's face since he was very tall. 

"Wilt was adopted when he was 16 years old by a very prominent family who had helped him earn a scholarship to go the school and is now a basketball coach at a local high school. He also volunteers from time to time at the Youth Center downtown to help the homeless kids." Frankie explained. 

"That's very cool. I'm sure your parents must be proud of you right now." Mac said, impressed. 

"Thank you." Wilt replied smiling. 

Then a big massive man came by running close to Mac and then stopped his tracks. 

"My name is Eduardo. Can I hug you?" He asked with a large grin. 

"uh...sure." Mac said, a little confused. 

"Yeah! Eduardo loves hugs. They keep him safe from the monsters under his bed." Eduardo said as he hugs Mac into a tight squeeze, which didn't mind Mac at all. 

"Eduardo was adopted when he was 14 years old and is now a wrestling coach for the kids at the downtown high school. Plus, he also volunteers at the children's; hospital and reads to them." Frankie explained. 

"Aww how sweet" Mac complemented. 

"Thank you. Eduardo loves bedtime stories and his parents would read one to him every night. They keep him safe and sound. So he reads to kids every night  so they can feel safe too." Eduardo said. 

"Haha. That's cute." Mac laughed a little. 

The man is like a child but has a really soft heart. 

Next came a woman with large crazy hair and a big smile across her face in a very creepy way. 

"Coco coco coco" The woman said in a repetitive way as if she is a recording tape out of a cassette. 

"Uh..." Mac said, confused. 

"Oh don't be alarmed. She just can't speak the normal language after the accident." Frankie 

"Accident?" Mac asked, now concerned for the woman. 

"Yep she was adopted when she was 12 years old and got to travel all around the world with her parents. When she was 21, she ventured out on her own into a mystical island, but crashed her plane and was stuck there for a while. Rescue crew then found her 2 years later talking to a coconut and now she is officially retired. She often come by here to watch over the kids from time to time and is very good with them." Frankie explained. 

"Oh sorry to hear that." Mac said feeling bad. 

"Coco coco coco." Coco jabbered fast. 

"What did she say?" Mac asked. 

"She said that's okay. Its all behind her now." Wilt informed.

"Oh wow, how did you translate that?" Mac asked, amazed. 

"We've known her for years. Its her own personal sign language." A man from behind them said as he came up to them.

He was about the same height as Mac wearing a black leather jacket and jeans.
