Lee took Christa's advice, looking around to find someone to join him. When he went through his options, he found that bringing Christa and Omid would be a bad idea considering that they're new, bringing Duck is a disaster waiting to happen, bringing Kenny might help his relationship with the leader, but he might just be a grouchy asshole the whole time. That only leaves Carley, Mark and Chuck.

Lee decided that Chuck would be the best option. Approaching the relaxed hobo, Lee put on a serious expression before offering him a pistol. "Would you mind checking out that train station with me? Four hands are better than two." Chuck looked at the weapon for a few seconds before looking past Lee at someone else, Clementine.

"Sure. On one condition." Chuck replied. Lee raised his brow.

"I'm listening." Chuck pointed at Clem, who was currently chatting with Christa and Omid (who had seemingly joined the conversation after Lee left.)

"We're bringin' the girl."

"Oh come on-"

"Don't you 'come on' me. You know for a fact that that girl is ready. Duck is happy to start shootin'. Clementine is not. I ain't asking you to send her to war, I'm asking for you to bring her along to teach her a thing or two. Otherwise, I ain't comin'." Chuck interrupted. Lee knew he was right.

"Alright. Here, I'll be one second." Lee replied, handing the gun to Chuck. The man pocketed it, in all honesty it was Lee's back up with only ten bullets loaded in. They didn't have any more guns for Christa or Omid, so Lee hoped they had some on them. He made a mental note to ask later as he approached Clementine.

"So yeah, in a nutshell, our cat? He's probably pretty pissed." Omid joked, getting a giggle from Clementine while Christa poked her head up at Lee.

"I hope he's okay. I had a pet hamster but he died a couple years ago." Clementine told them. It seemed she had finally gotten happier meeting these two.

"Better than being a walker if you ask me. What's up, Lee?" Christa replied to the young girl before mentioning Lee.

"Hey guys. Clem, wanna go on a mission with Chuck and I?"

"Of course! Um, do I have to carry that gun again?"

"Nah, I'll hold onto it for now. But if you do feel ready for it, I'd like you to try and take one out." Lee explained. Clem looked a bit nervous while the couple looked at each other for a brief second.

"You got this little girl shooting guns?" Christa asked skeptically.

"Yeah, is that a problem?" Lee questioned back, raising a brow and folding his arms challengingly.

"No. It's a good thing, she should know how to protect herself. But that radio does concern me. Why is she holding onto it?" She asked Lee as Clem stood up by his side.

"It doesn't work anymore, but it means something to her." Lee answered.

"Ah, I see. Apologies, sweetie." Christa said sympathetically.

"It's okay." Clem replied with a bit of a quieter voice. Chuck appeared behind the pair and smiled down at the new folks.

"Howdy." Charles greeted, nodding at the couple.

"Sup?" Omid happily chirped back.

"We ready to head out?" Chuck asked Lee, hoisting a duffel holding his guitar around his shoulder.

"Yup. Everyone, we're heading out! If anyone comes by, hide in the train. If you see a walker, take it out quietly."

"You got it, boss." Carley nodded, giving him a smirk. "And stay safe."

"Yeah, no telling what's in there." Mark agreed. Lee nodded before walking off with the two. He didn't notice somehow that Kenny and Katjaa had been arguing in the conductors room, something they rarely did.

Upon reaching the station, Lee and Chuck began inspecting the area, looking around for any leftover supplies, live walkers or maybe a weapon or two. "Oh, that reminds me." Lee took a melee weapon, a monkey wrench in this case, from a bag he had kept after Lilly left the group and handed it to Chuck. "The gun doesn't have much ammo, so a melee weapon is always good to have. We found three in the train."

"Thanks, Lee. Too bad the girl's got no use for something so big." Chuck checked a walker corpse for any valuables, but alas found nothing. The two checked the door only to find Clementine attempting to open it.

"Hey, you can't just open random doors without someone by your side." Lee startled Clementine and she halted what she was doing.

"Sorry.." She said slowly, twiddling her thumbs.

"It's alright, just wait for me next time." Lee smiled, patting her head.

"Yeah, okay. We are a team after all."

"Exactly. Chuck, any ideas on how to open the door?"

"Hm.. Banging it down may just be too loud, and take too long. There is a window up there. The girl could fit in easily." Chuck implied Clem going through the window, which got no objections from the pair.

"You sure you're up for this?" Lee asked, kneeling down next to her.

"Yup. If I don't, we'll be stuck here." Clem gulped, steadying her breathing before being hoisted up by Lee. She poked her head inside the dark building, noticing a gate as well as the doorknob.

"You see anything, Clementine?" Chuck asked, his hands reaching to his pockets for his melee weapon.

"I can see a gate and the doorknob. I can almost reach it, actually.." She explained, reaching in a bit deeper.

"Really? Do you think you could unlock it from-" click.

"I think I opened it!" She replied, the click sound coming from the door.

"Really?" Lee was not ready for that. 'Thank god for Clem', he thought to himself.

"I think so!" Clem said excitedly, being hoisted back to the ground by her protector. He opened the door, the young Clem standing behind him. Lee took his axe out and readied himself to face anyone, human or walker. Luckily, all that was there was silence and darkness. Lee let out a sigh of relief.

"Well I'll be damned. Good job, kid." Chuck said with a smile, patting her shoulder. Clem lit up with a bright smile. Once the three entered, they realized just how dark the room was, due to the only window being so small you could barely see anything. It didn't help that the sun was near ready to set.

Chuck noticed this and propped himself against the door. "Don't worry, I'll keep it open. Y'all look around for anything useful and I'll keep an eye out for any corpses waltzing. Or any livin'."

Lee nodded and began searching. No supplies of interest were found until he looked past the gate in the middle of the building. Behind it was a blowtorch and some police tape.

"Perfect! That's exactly what we need!" Lee exclaimed, placing his hand on the cold, steel knob. He jiggled it a bit, but the door appeared locked. "Damn. Maybe there's another way in."

"There's a space between the ceiling and gate! Maybe you could hoist me up again?" Clementine suggested, pointing at the open spot in the

"Ha, good eye, Clem. Works for me. Just find the key, then unlock it as quickly as you can." Lee was amazed by how good she had been, even after this morning. He had Christa, Katjaa and Omid to thank for that, no doubt.

"Got it. We're lucky I'm so little." Clem remarked, stepping forward.

"That we are. Here." Lee helped the girl to his shoulders. Clementine slowly and carefully climbed inside and down the gate, finally getting inside the room. Suddenly, she stopped and looked frightened. Chuck and Lee both gave her awkward looks.

"Uh, what? C'mon, scoot, we gotta go before-"

"Behind you!" Clem yelled, pointing at a walker that had seemingly just gotten up from the darkness. Lee attempted to draw his pistol, but the living corpse knocked it out of his hands and began to attack the man, holding onto his wrists and attempting to chomp his neck. Lee fought him back until Chuck came towards the walker and slammed the wrench against it's skill, harming it.

"Blegh!" It growled, looking up at Chuck before receiving another smack from the wrench. Another walker stumbled in as the door closed, enveloping all three in darkness.

"Goddamnit, there's another one?" Lee asked, searching the pitch black room for a sign of the dead.

"They must have been in the darkness, damnit, I can't see a thing!" Chuck replied, swinging wildly where the noise came from. Lee ran towards the door and opened it, revealing the fat walker to be just in front of Chuck. A loud bang filled the room, a bullet speeding by and hitting the walker in its neck, sending it to the ground. Chuck then proceeded to beat it's skull in while it was down, not stopping until it no longer produced a noise. The old man panted, blood covering his face and coat. The two looked at Clementine, who was shaking violently with the gun still pointing at them.

"It's okay, it's over.. They're gone." Lee slowly approached her from behind the gate, raising his hands low. Clem gave the gun back to Lee, slouching her arms down in defeat.

"Alright, now grab the keys, they're right behind you, darling." Chuck pointed at the keys hanging on the wall, leaning back on the door. The girl grabbed them, but was halted entirely when she heard a growl come from across the room. She looked up to see a skinny walker stumbling towards her. Lee, in a panic, yelled at her. "Keys, now!" She handed him the keys within seconds after being frozen. Lee unlocked the door, wrapping an arm around her chest to protect her from the walker before pulling the trigger of the pistol, rocketing a bullet straight into its head. It died upon hitting the bullet.

Clem hugged Lee, finding solace in his arms. He put the gun back in his pocket and held her back, his axe was back in it's holder on his back. "Thank you, Lee.."

"Of course, sweetpea.. I'll always be here." He said with an assuring, sweet tone. Chuck walked behind the two and grabbed the blowtorch.

"What did we learn here?" The old man asked as Clementine exited Lee's embrace.

"That I'm not ready for a gun..?" Clem asked quietly, looking down at the floor in shame.

Choices:

A: "No, we learned to never be afraid. We're smarter than them, always will be."

B: "Yes, but you'll get better in time. Don't worry."

C: "No, we learned to always be ready. You see, they should have got us, but we got them."

D: Let Chuck give his advice.
