3rd Person POV
Merle could be seen still cuffed to the roof while thunder rumbled in the sky.
Merle: "That's right. You heard me, bitch. You got a problem? Bring it on if you're mad enough, or take it up the chain if you're a pussy."
He was clearly exhausted from heat stroke as his forehead was slightly peeling in the spot where the Red Hood had kicked him.
Merle: "You heard me, you pussy ass noncom bitch. You ain't deaf. Take it up the damn chain of command or you can kiss my lily-white ass."
Merle laughed to himself, wheezing in amusement.
He then proceeded to talk to himself about how he punched out a man's teeth before soon relaxing and looking up at the sky.
Merle then lifted up his arm only to find the cuff still attached to his wrist.
Merle: "Oh no. No no no NO!"
Merle proceeded to panic as he struggled to get himself out of the handcuffs.
Merle: "Jesus! Help me! Come on now! Help me."
There was the sound of snarls and growls as the dead attempted to get onto the roof to get Merle.
Merle then started to cry, laying down in fetal position.
Merle: "No, Jesus. Jesus."
The dead got more aggressive, trying to break through the door as Merle continued to whimper and cry.
Merle: "Please. I didn't behave, I know. I know I'm being punished. I know. I-- oh, I deserve it. I deserve it. I've been bad."
The dead reached their arms through the chained up door for the roof as Merle continued to beg God.
Merle: "Help me now. Show me the way. Go on, tell me what to do. Tell me. Tell me."
Just as Merle was about to give up, the sound of a cord zipping and feet hitting the roof could be heard, making him slowly look up to see the Red Hood standing in front of him.
Merle: "Are you here to kill me?"
Jason raised his pistol towards Merle.
Jason: "I'm here to give you your sentence."
Merle whimpered in fear and closed his eyes.
A gunshot rang out but instead of killing Merle, Jason broke the handcuffs, releasing his wrist.
Merle was shocked by this and looked at Jason in surprise.
Merle: "Why didn't you kill me?"
Jason sighed before he put his gun away.
Jason: "Everyone deserves a second chance. So, don't waste yours. Use your second chance to be a better person."
Merle thought about it nodded before holding his hand out.
Merle: "Thank you."
Jason nodded and shook Merle's hand, smiling behind his mask.
Merle: "I don't think I'll come back to the camp. Go out on my own and find some people I can actually mix with. My brother is most likely out hunting. His name is Daryl and he's a good kid at heart. He's an asshole at times but his heart is in the right place. Take care of him for me, will ya?"
Jason thought about it before he nodded.
Jason: "I'll do what I can."
Merle: "That's all I ask for."
