In the story "School's Out—Forever" by James Patterson, the narrator reveals that they had already briefed someone earlier in the day, specifically in the morning. This indicates they were proactive in sharing important information and preparing for upcoming events.

"Actually, I'd already briefed him, early this morning. Since we were up at six. Since, at six, the nurse had been overcome with the overwhelming compulsion to take Fang's temperature." This quote suggests a sense of urgency and routine that the characters are experiencing, highlighting the morning's unusual yet necessary activities.
