Buck had always been able to awaken himself whenever he wanted. The gift had failed him very infrequently. He had told himself he wanted to be up and moving by 6:00 p.m. He awoke on time, less refreshed than he had hoped, but eager to get going. He told his cabbie, “The Wailing Wall, please.”
You can cut this whole paragraph. If Buck starts the scene at the Wailing Wall, we aren't going to wonder how he got there, let alone if he used an alarm clock.
