Clementine: (Mouthing) What do we say?
Y/n: (Mouthing) The truth, I guess?
We both turn our attention back to Sarah as she seems like she's about to start panicking. I put my hand on her shoulder and she looks at me. I can see in her eyes that she's unsure of what's going on and on what to do.
Y/n: Calm down, Sarah. Everything's going to be okay. While we weren't originally planning on telling you...
Clementine: We think you should know what's going on.
Sarah: He told you not to tell me, didn't he?
We nod, as she was more than likely referring to Carlos even without directly stating his name.
Clementine: He's in trouble, Sarah.
Sarah starts to hyperventilate.
Sarah: Oh, my gosh. What happened? Guys? What's going on?
Y/n: Pete's dead. He got bit out by the river, then we got trapped in a shed with Nick due to some walkers. He bought us time to run, but apparently Luke and Alvin went after us. They planned on Luke and Alvin coming back with us, but when that didn't happen they went out after them. I am not entirely sure where they're at.
Sarah turns around and takes several deep breaths.
Sarah: Sorry, I just need to...
Sarah sits down and wraps her arms around her knees. I look at Clementine and she looks worried. Walking over to me, she whispers something to me.
Clementine: (Whisper) I guess this is what Carlos meant when he spoke to us after the shed that night.
Y/n: (Nods) Yeah, I guess so. I didn't think it'd be this bad, though.
Clementine: (Whisper) Well let's talk to her. We've gotta distract her from, well, herself.
I nod to her and trying to think of what to do, I remember a little something attached to my back right now. I kneel down in front of Sarah; she looks up at me with her arms still wrapped around her legs.
Y/n: Look, I understand you're scared, but you've got nothing to worry about. Your father and the rest of the group will come back soon, but until then... How long has it been since you've heard a guitar?
Sarah lifts her head a little more and I take my guitar off of my back, showing it to her. She looks at it and seems to be interesting in it, so I take a seat in front of her while Clementine sits next to me.
Sarah: You can actually play that?
Before I can say anything, Clementine speaks for me.
Clementine: Yeah. He's always been a super good singer, too. Though I haven't heard a song in awhile. I think it's time we change that.
I nod and look at Sarah.
Y/n: I'm going to sing a song I call "Running Gun."
I start to strum my guitar as both Sarah and Clementine listen to me. I tilt my hat up so they can see my face and I start to sing.
Y/n: ♪I rode out of Kansas City, going, south to Mexico♪ I was, running dodging danger, left the, girl that I loved so♪ Far behind lay Kansas City and the, past that I had earned♪ Twenty, notches on my six gun marked the, lessons I had learned♪
