You and Clem were sitting on the edge of the car, looking out towards the scenery as the train screams down the rails. Lee walks in the goes to sit next to Clem and looks over to you two.
"You wanna talk?" He asked. "Uh uh." You and Clem said. "You two understand what happened?" Lee asked.

"Yes." You and Clem replied.

"Okay." Lee said, softly. "What are you two thinking about?"

"What Chuck said." Clem said and you frown at this. "What'd Chuck say?" Lee asked. You look up at Lee, tears rolling down your face, and said, tearfully. "That what happened to Duck would happen to us." Clem nodded as tears formed in his eyes.

"What? The fuck he did." Lee said, anger rising in his chest. How dare Chuck say those things to two young kids. "Swear." Clem said to him.
"Sorry. I'm gonna go talk some sense into him." Lee said as he stands up. "Don't be mad." Clem said to him as Lee heads over to Chuck, who was leaning against the railing from the front of the train.

"You don't think he'll hurt Chuck, do you?" You asked Clem. Clem looks over at you and shrugs."I don't know." You frown at this and look away. "I hope not. We've already lost so many." You said and Clem gives you a concern look then places his arm around your shoulder and begins to hug you, you hug him back.

"I'm sorry about your mom, (y/n)." He said and you have a small smile on your face as you hugged Clem alittle tighter. Lee walks in after having a talk with Chuck and smiles as he sees you two hugging. He walks over to a green backpack, which was Chuck's, and pulled out a pair of scissors.

Then he walks up to you two. "Hey, kiddos." He greeted as you and Clem pull out of the embrace. "Did you talk to him?" Clem asked as Lee sits next to him. "I did, he had some, uh...he explained himself and made some good points. Look, we're not going to let anything bad happen to either of you. But there are some precautions we have to take." Lee replied.
"Yeah, okay." Clem said as you nod and said. "Makes sense."

"Don't worry, kiddos." Lee assured.
"Okay. What should we do?" Clem asked. "Well, we're going to figure out a plan for when we get to Savannah, teach you two how to protect yourselves and, uh..." Lee said then he looks over to you and said. "...tidy you up a little so you can't get grabbed so easily."

"I'd like that." Clem said.

"Yeah, me too!" You said.

"Good." Lee said as he stands up. You and Clem turn around to look up at him as he said. "You two need to know how to protect yourselves."

"Like hiding or running away, got it." You exclaimed, happily, as you and Clem stand up, smiling and nodding.
Lee reaches for his back and pulls out his gun and said. "I mean with one of these." Yours and Clem's eyes widen in fear at the gun as Lee says. "First, don't be afraid of it. It's just a thing. Take it. But know where your finger is all the time. And don't put it on the trigger unless you want to hurt somebody." He cocks the gun and holds the gun out towards you two. You and Clem look at each other before Clem reaches out for it.

"Okay. Okay." Clem said as he holds the gun. "See, it's not scary." Lee said.
"It's heavy." Clem remarked. "You'll get stronger. To aim, you look right down the top, through that notch. Line up the site at the end with your target." Lee instructed.

"Is that anything else we should know?" You asked. "When you're ready to shoot, make sure you're not breathing too hard and then hold your breath right when you pull the trigger." Lee replied. "Like when I'm swimming?" Clem asked him.
"No---just for a quick second. I found that if I did that I was a lot more accurate. It's tough, but it'll help." Lee said.

"I can do that. Okay." Clem said, nodding. Lee goes over to one end of the car and found some empty bottles and placed one bottle on top of the box as he walks over to Clem, who raised his arms up and aims for the bottle.
