Monty's turning 7 this year, though he doesn't look it, even after 3 years he was still way too small for his age. he'd only been with them 6 months when his CPS case worker had showed up and proved he had only just turned 4 while in their care those first three days. he doesn't really remember much, other than that he was severely abused when he was younger, so Mack and Red had adopted him. he didn't remember his parents, but he still had nightmares about being in a car on fire strapped into a carseat. he had asked Mack about it once, but Mack said to ask Red. when he'd asked Red, the man got all tense and scooped Monty up, taking him for ice cream never answering the question. Monty was on a mission today, there was only one other person on the planet he could ask, Doc. Doc wouldn't lie to him or hide from him and if he did he could always go to Mater. he'd get real answers from the man. he walks over to the clinic, pulling the door open.
"D-Doc?" Monty calls.
"hey kiddo, im in my office, come on back." Doc calls. Monty walks down the hall and enters his office, climbing up into the chair across from Docs desk. "whats up kid?" Doc ask.
"wh-what happened to-to my p-p-pare-ents?" Monty ask, looking up at him. he's gotten better at talking but the stutter has been persistent. Doc goes still filling out his paperwork and looks at the boy.
"what is something wrong with your dads?" Doc ask, ready to get up and check on Red and Mack.
"n-no not them." Monty says, shaking his head. "th-th-the other, other on-ones." Monty says. Doc shifts in his chair.
"kid we don't-" Doc starts.
"pl-please D-Do-Doc." Monty begs. Doc heaves a sigh.
"you should really ask your dads about them." Doc says, looking at him.
"d-d-da, th-they won't answer me." Monty frowns.
"I get that kid, but you're not really old enough for this yet." Doc murmurs softly.
"I-I-I'm so ti-tired of hear-ring that." Monty scoffs. he shoves the chair away from the desk angrily. "I-I'll just go ask m-m-m-Ma-Ma-Mater." Monty says. "yo-y-you guys s-s-s-suck!" Monty huffs, storming out of his office. Doc sighs and gets up, heading to talk to Red and Mack.
Monty grumbles to himself, stomping towards the junkyard. he's angry and upset he wants answers and no one will tell him anything.
"M-M-Ma-Mater!" Monty calls. he sees Mater working under an old car and runs over. "h-hey!" Monty calls. Mater pokes his head out.
"oh hey buddy. whats up?" Mater smiles.
"wh-wh-wha ca-can you tell-tell me about m-m-mu-my par-parents?" Monty ask.
"what do ye wanna know about'em. Red an Mack been here a long time." Mater smiles.
"n-no not them." Monty says. Mater frowns a little and looks at him.
"'bout yer other parents." Mater says. Mont nods. "I don' know much 'bout them if m'honest buddy. jus' that yer dad beat ya and yer mom." Mater frowns. "ya should ask Doc, or yer dads." Mater says.
"I-I-I did!" Monty groans, stomping his foot. he scolds and crosses his arms over his chest. "n-n-no-no one will te-te-t-tell me nothin!" Monty glares.
"well maybe yer not old enough to hear some stuff." Mater says. Monty gives him a dirty look.
"y-y-yo-you know s-s-s-som-something." Monty glares. Mater sighs a little, grabs the boy gently.
"look, all I know is, they found ya after yer parents wrecked an the car caught fire. ya went flyin' through the windshield in yer car seat. s'all I know buddy." Mater sighs. Monty looks at him a moment and nods, before turning to leave. he pauses on the way out.
