Lee sighed, his eyes dragging down and away from Clementine. "Clem.. Honey, look.. There's not a great way of saying this but.. Your parents are gone." Clem looked up, pulling away.

"W-what? How could you say that? You're lying!"

"I wish I was, sweetie. But in truth there is no better way of saying it. When I first came to your house I heard an answering machine and what was on it didn't sound good. I heard your parents talking and your dad was bit."

"No! You're lying! Y-you just want them to be dead.. Why?" Clementine began crying into her hands, causing Lee to feel even worse as he explained more details.

"I wouldn't be lying about this. Haven't I always been honest with you? About our safety, your hat, about my past."

"Y-yes.. But not now." She managed to croak out, sniffling against her palms.

"I'm not done. Your dad got bit, and it looks like he turned. Your mom most likely.. Didn't make it. Which is why we need to focus on those who are still alive, like you and our group! We can't think of people we know are-" Lee cut himself off, watching as Clem bawled her eyes out quietly.

"Lee, that's enough. She gets it." Mark told his friend, watching the girl shiver and whimper was really depressing. Lee nodded, touching her shoulder.

"Shh.. It's okay, we're done talking about it. You can get to sleep now." He whispered calmly.

"P-please leave me alone.." She managed to say, burying her head against the back of the seat. Lee was on the verge of crying himself, but held it in, cuddling up next to Carley and finally passing out.

In his dream, Lee found himself surrounded by three figures in a dark void. "W-where am I?" Lee groggily asked the void, watching as the figures revealed themselves. "L-Larry? Doug? Travis?"

"Why did you kill us, Lee?" The three asked, their voices in complete unison while also completely distorted.

"I-I didn't! I tried to save all of you!" Lee defended, shouting at them.

"Like you tried to save your marriage? Or like you're trying to save Clementine? Doesn't seem to work out for you, does it?" They let out a creepy chuckle. "That little girl is as good as dead. Yup, hehe, dead girl walking. It doesn't help that she hates you either, does it?"

"Lee?" Clem's voice said from behind him. Lee slowly looked behind to see a walker version of Clementine, chewed up, decayed and yet pale, with those disturbing pale eyes. "Why did you kill me?"

"I would never! Clementine, please!" Lee begged, walking towards her felt wrong, heavy.

"It's okay. I'm sure Sam went through the same thing. I'll die too." Clem somehow knew Lee's ex wife's name despite the fact that he never mentioned it to her.

"No, you won't!" Lee fell to his knees, sobbing into his palms until he finally woke up to find Carley buried in his chest and Clementine laying down next to him. She probably cried herself to sleep. Lee rubbed the exhaustion from his eyes and gently stood up to wash his face.

"Shit, looks like we gotta deal with this.." Kenny muttered loud enough for Lee to hear. Ben was wide awake but it looked like he hadn't gotten more than an hour of sleep. Lee gave the kid an energy bar.

"Oh, uh thanks." Ben mumbled, taking the bar.

"You look exhausted. Don't worry, just calm down and have a bite to eat." Lee assured.

"Yeah.. Will do." Ben replied, yawning as he stripped the candy bar. Soon enough the rest of the group was awake as they received their rations for the day as well as bottles of water. The RV came to a stop just as Lee reached Kenny and his family.

"Is that a train?" Lee asked, looking at a long freighter that blocked off the road.

"Yeah, obviously we can't plow through it so.. RV's stuck. We gotta move it." Kenny explained, getting out of the RV to investigate.

"Everyone c'mon out, this area seems safe." Lee ordered, leading the group over to an oddly convenient sitting area surrounded by a fireplace. Katjaa, Ben, Clementine, Duck and Kenny sat down to rest. "Kenny, take a nap. We need you frosty."

"Sure, whatever. Just find a way to get rid of that train, it's in the way of our freedom." Kenny said, lying down on a log and shutting his eyes. Katjaa sat next to him.

"I'll stay here and watch Clementine and Duck. I heard what happened last night.." Katjaa muttered the last part, giving a sympathetic look to Lee. "You did the right thing, hun. You really did."

"Doesn't feel like it.. Thanks though, Kat."

"Of course, Lee. You're family." Katjaa replied with a smile. Lee walked over to Mark and Carley, his go to partners.

"Carley, come with me to search the train. Mark, go ahead and check out the surrounding area, make sure no one's around to jump us or anything. Also, be on the lookout for more supplies."

"Sure, man, I'm on it." Mark wandered off to behind the train while the couple moved to open the sliding door to the first compartment (And really only working compartment) of the train.

"Woah, now this looks lively." Carley joked, hopping up on the floor of the compartment.

"It looks like someone's been living here."

"Yeah, it does. Think they're gone?"

"I hope so. Mark will verify that in a bit though. C'mon, let's check out the rest." Lee said, leading Carley through the train. They checked out these lockers and managed to find multiple weapons.

"Good find, more weapons are always good. That axe isn't the safest thing in the world." Carley told him.

"Agreed, sometimes I feel like throwing it out. It gets stuck easy, it's heavy as hell, it isn't the best at killing." Lee listed.

"But you keep it." Carley pointed out.

"Ah, maybe I'm just hoarding, but who knows when you might need it?" The conversation stopped when they reached the conductors door. Lee took out the wrench he had just pocketed and gripped it hard, slowly opening the door. A corpse was sitting in the conductor's seat.

"Be careful, you never know.." Carley warned, taking out her own melee weapon.

"I will, don't worry." He responded, hitting the pruned up corpse as hard as he could. It was not a walker, had a bullet shaped hole right through his head.

"Guess this place is safe." Carley said with a chuckle. Lee was about to reply when he heard a door slam hard, followed by a walker's last breath. He walked over to the noise and checked to find Mark killing a decayed human in a car, using the door to bash it's brains in. He held up a box of animal crackers with a grin.

"Nice one, am I right?" Mark said, jumping into the room with them.

"Well fucking done, man. More food is always good." Lee congratulated.

"Thanks. Place seems secure, no walkers can sneak up with those bushes and no people seem to be around." Mark explained, wiping the blood off of his hands to his pants.

"Perfect. Finally, a break from strangers." Carley sighed, shaking her head.

"You guys trying to get the train moving?" Mark asked, looking at the dashboard.

"Not sure if that would work-" Just like that Mark starts the breaks, proving Lee wrong. "Well I'll be damned.."

"This fucker works?!" Kenny asks excitedly, appearing out of seemingly nowhere.

"Hell yeah it does. Oh, and I found this!" Mark handed Kenny a clipboard with a map on it that shows the tracks and where they lead, straight to Savannah.

"No way.. This freighter will lead us straight to Savannah!" Kenny announced happily, sitting in the driver's seat.

"Wait a minute, shouldn't you be napping?" Lee asked the family man.

"I'm wide awake now. Look, all that matters is that we get to the coast and grab ourselves a boat." Kenny firmly replied, looking around for how to start the train. "Mark, can you start the rest of this thing?"

"Sure can. Lee, why don't you go rest? You look just as tired as you did last night." Mark told the leader, getting started on configuring the engine.

"Sure, sounds good." Lee let out a yawn as he jumped off of the train and took a seat next to Clementine, who hadn't spoken all day. "Clementine? I'm uh.. I'm sorry about last night."

"..I don't want to talk about it." Clem muttered.

"I understand. What would you like to talk about?" Lee asked.

"I want you to tell me that you'll help look for my parents. If they're dead then fine, but I can't give up!" She begged him, clasping her lil hands together. Lee felt conflicted, knowing the right answer but.. Should he just play along anyways?
