Basil Jaak made a call to Xenia Wendelton, asking where she was, planning to pick her up in his car.
Over the phone, Xenia said that her interview was still going on and she estimated it would take another hour to finish. She asked Jaak to pick her up at the hotel in an hour.
With an hour to spare, rather than driving aimlessly through the streets, wasting time and gas, Jaak figured he might as well pass time at Night Fragrance and drove there.
Since Basil Jaak defeated Alger's expert henchman at the bar, he was revered like a deity by the Dragon Gang, his influence was stronger than that of Yellow Hair, their leader. Therefore, Jaak was led by the bar manager into Room One when he arrived.
Room One never accepted common guests, being reserved for only the most esteemed. It used to be kept for Alger, but now it was reserved for Jaak.
