Nick isn’t expecting much when he joins the militia – or anything at all, actually. He is almost certain that Troy will scoff at him and tell him to go home. He doesn’t though, reluctantly allowing Nick to join.
It’s not what it cracks up to be.
Troy is a devil.
It’s not that Nick is out of shape; he doesn’t have as much practice with a gun but it seems like the militia leader is always breathing down his neck, telling him to hustle or stop being a baby.
Nick regrets it, he does, but he refuses to give up.
