The narrator wakes up to find that he's late for his first day at the brigade. He's bummed that he didn't wake up earlier, but he can't blame himself for not waking up earlier. He tells the captain to wake him up, but the captain won't listen to him. The captain tries to blame the captain for his lateness by saying that they're having a meeting somewhere else. But the narrator doesn't buy it. He says that they don't even have a meeting place, and that he was just helping someone in trouble. He also says that the captain and the captain aren't supposed to be late. The narrator is all, "Gee, that's a little fishy. I was helping a guy in trouble, right?"
