The early birds do not wait for worms; instead, they see the place where they once fed is now occupied by a large group of heavily armed police officers. The chirping birds fly away.

Upon seeing the man alight from the car, the surrounding police officers salute him. A man with the rank of Police Chief steps forward and salutes, saying, "Vice Director."
