This story started off with Torey meeting Kevin for the first time. She noticed that he was crouched underneath of a table, all closed in, and not talking. He refused to talk to anyone, not even his teachers. They called him "Zoo-Boy." He was 15 years old. Torey sat down in the room with Kevin and she started reading to him. That was all that she could do for a long time was read. After many talks and room switches, Torey discovered that Kevin wanted to learn how to talk. He was just so overcome by fears that he could not speak. During this stressful and time consuming time period of teaching Kevin how to speak, he was slowly able to speak again. After a while of talking, Kevin started slowly bringing Torey into his life, and all his secrets. He had always mentioned a sister named Carol, but there were no records of her. After a while Torey decided to join the Big Sister's program, that she was dragged in by a friend, and she found h
Geyer. Torey thought that she was a failure and she started bringing her psychology office partner in on that case. His name was Jeff. Kevin and Jeff started becoming really good friends.
