"Because It's just not as easy as that." Explained Peter with a small smile. Ben was always so quick to the point in conversation. It made sense given his job. If Peter had a photographer's eye, than this man certainly had the reporter's tongue. "I'm still in high school, remember? I'm also planning on starting college next year. So what I need is something part time for now." And in this business part time meant freelance. Everyone knew that. It was just the name of the game.
"What keeps me glued to the Bugle? It's actually Mister Jameson. He's got a super hero obsession. I stay here because of that. You can always count on old Jonah putting Spider-Man on the front page. You know, Masked Vigilante Strikes Again!" Peter left out the other less important details. Not bothering with explaining the policy most other newspapers had on hiring underage photographers. Embarrassment was not something he needed in middle of the Bugle's office.
