There were a lot of things Big Boss couldn't stand. Among them: definitely nosy reporters and their interviews. He had initially not wanted to agree to a meeting, but he had a certain reputation to uphold and free advertising for the club was always a good enough excuse. Although lately, it felt like Outer Heaven was getting more attention than it should, especially from people that really shouldn't be frequenting his club as much as they did.

He could already guess who the reporter guy was when he entered the club; watching the entrance from the lounge area. Strangely enough, he had some sort of familiar air about him, and Big Boss scratched the skin under his eyepatch in thought.

Probably nothing.

He stood up and waved the young man over.

Ah, there he was. He was easy to spot even without EVA's description, standing out in the crowd with his height and distinct look. And... there was something else, a hint of familiarity, like they had met sometime before.

Well, nothing to worry about. Adam couldn't very well keep track of every single Tom, Dick and Harry that crossed his path. For all he knew they could have passed each other on the street or there could have been a picture of the older man in the paper. He could figure that out later, right now he had more important matters to deal with.

Showtime.

With a slight smile and a confident swagger he approached the man.

"Mr Hauk? Adam Keaton, NG Nightlife. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

He quirked a brow, and moved to shake the hand of the other man firmly.

"So you're the editor-in-chief and the assigned reporter. How convenient."

Or rather, what an amazing coincidence. This alone already made him suspicious of the other man, but maybe he was just too paranoid lately.

"A pleasure," he smiled wryly. Big Boss had decided to not make a secret out of the fact that he hated giving interviews. He gestured 'Adam' to follow him upstairs and to his office, where it hopefully would be much quieter. He knew it probably wasn't the best idea to lead him there, especially considering that there was no security camera whatsoever in his office, but he was sure he could handle the situation. After all, it was just an interview, right.

What made him so damn wary of this man?

"We're still a very small magazine, sir. At times I have to take on tasks I'm not assigned to."

He brushed it off with a shrug, it wasn't that uncommon for the editorial staff to work as reporters when they were low on manpower. Besides, he felt a lot more comfortable acting as the man in command - everything would go through him, no need to invent a faceless higher up.

Adam followed the older man, taking the opportunity to take a closer look at him as they walked. He was almost certain that he had seem him somewhere before but couldn't for the life of him remember where. Jack had a very distinct look so it couldn't just be a vague resemblence to someone else. Even his voice and speech pattern seemed oddly familiar.

Whatever it was his instincts told him to be careful - whoever 'Jack Hauk' was it was clear he wasn't a man to underestimate.
