  Summary

  It was his fault for having a hangover, sure, but it wasn't as if he'd been given a heads-up that, 'Hey, Mr. Kennedy, we need you to cancel your day off and assist Redfield and the Special Cases and Disposal Team in infiltrating another B.O.W. appearance.'

  Just another day in the office, of course.
