⌜ chapter six ⌟
While MJ and Daryl are in the woods looking for Sophia, the others are doing things back on the farm. T-Dog and Dale found a walker in one of their wells, so now they're all trying to get it out without killing it inside. If the water isn't contaminated yet, shooting it and getting its blood in the water will definitely do the job.
Right now, they're trying to get it to go for a canned ham so that they can wrap a rope around it and pull it up. The problem: the walker won't go for the ham. They think it's likely because the ham isn't kicking and screaming — it's not alive.
"We need live bait." Andrea says, and then they all look at Glenn.
They get a second rope and then start to tie it around Glenn so that they can lower him into the well. He's gonna take the other rope with him and get it around the walker that's down there so that they can pull it up.
"Have I mentioned that I really like your new haircut?" Glenn asks Shane, who's tying the rope around his torso. "You have a nice shaped head."
"Don't worry about it, bud. We're gonna get you out of here in one piece." Shane tells him.
"Living piece." Glenn says. "That living part is important."
"Is this safe?" Jack asks.
"No." Jess shakes her head.
"That's really reassuring, guys." Glenn sighs as he looks up at them. "Thanks a lot."
They have the rope wrapped around a metal pipe, and the plan is to slowly lower him into the well. He'll get the other rope around the walker, they'll pull Glenn up, then they'll pull the walker up afterward.
"Nice and slow, please." Glenn says.
"We got you." Andrea tells him.
"Oh, you people are crazy." Maggie says, really uncomfortable with this whole thing.
"You wanna get it out of your well or not?" Shane asks her.
"Give us an eye there, Maggie." Dale says, and she reluctantly walks toward the well.
Glenn lowers himself off the edge and uses the metal bar going across the center to keep him from falling. They lower him a little, and he shines the flashlight on the ugly monster below him.
"Doing okay?" Maggie asks.
"Yup, doing great." He lies with a fake smile on his face. "Living the dream." He mutters.
