You, Clem, and Chloe are still standing there in the middle of the road in shock.
Chloe: Now what are we gonna do?
You: Well, we can't call the cops.
Clem under her breath: My fucking truck.
You: I don't suppose you have something we can drive, Chloe?
Chloe: She's in the shop.
Clem: My fucking truck.
You put your hand on Clem's shoulder.
You: It's fine, Clem.
Clem: No, it's not fine!
She starts walking back over to the diner, so you and Chloe follow.
Clem: How the fuck are we supposed to get from here to Denver?!
You whisper: Calm down, Clementine!
The three of you make it to the sidewalk, so you all stop walking.
Chloe: Look, I know this isn't exactly our best option...but I think we have to walk.
Clem: Yeah, sure! Three-year trip? No problem! She says in a sarcastic tone.
Chloe: Well, do you have any better ideas?
Clem: Yeah, actually. We head back.
You: What?
Clem: We're in too much shit to just WALK, Y/N. Listen, my parents can get you out of your situation.
You: Clem, I escaped from jail.
Clem: They'll help you out, I know it.
You: I can't give up. I've lived eighteen-years thinking my mom was dead. Now I know she's not, and I'm not willing to quit. If she's out there, I have to find her... Are you in or out?
Clem thinks about it. She sighs.
Chloe: I can get us a car.
You and Clem look at Chloe.
Clem: How?
Chloe: There's this junkyard that gets new shit almost every day.
You: I don't think they put working cars in junkyards, Chloe.
Chloe: I made the one I drive from old stuff in the junkyard. Shouldn't be too hard to do it again.
You and Clem look at each other.
Clem: If there's nothing there, I'm heading back.
You give a worried expression. Clem looks back at Chloe.
Clem: Lead the way.
[Time Skip]
It's now night time. You, Clem, and Chloe are inside a train cart. The train is moving towards this junkyard that Chloe was talking about. You and Clem have been distant. You don't really wanna piss her off after what she told you.
Chloe: Get ready to jump.
You: What do you mean by that?
Chloe jumps out of the train cart.
Clem: Oh, shit!
You look out to see the junkyard.
You: Fuck it.
You jump out of the train cart. Clem jumps out as well. She falls to her side.
You: Clem!
You help her get on her feet.
