It had been a long time since Wilson had been this alert at this time of the morning. It was past breakfast, yes, but he was usually only completely and utterly awake by lunch hour. Today, though?

"Wait," he ordered, the word coming out quick and clipped. "I mean, sit down. But hold on. You know what I mean."
