Jake Randolph in "The Naked Beat" Pt. 158
When the conversation finally exhausted itself, Jeffrey said he was going to go back to his hotel so he could be alone with his thoughts and grief. I'd asked him when he was heading back East and he said not until there was some finality about what happened to Blaze. He owned his own advertising agency and he left the day-to-day duties of running the place to others. I was glad he was staying around a little bit longer. I was really growing to like him.
I knew it was about time I headed to the Java Jungle...

Neville, this was a bit of an homage to you. I had to give Jeffrey a profession, so I made him an ad man in honor of you.

You're very welcome. It's terribly late on this side of the pond (2:21 am), but I wanted to get a couple of drabbles posted before I crash.

You keep some odd hours, Christopher! I am undecided whether sending continuing story drabbles individually or in chunks is best. I'm experimenting! Sleep well, eventually! :-)

Thank you, Neville. I only go into the office a couple of days a week and the rest of the time I work from home, so I have a bit of flexibility when it comes to sleeping habits (and I'm usually up later on the weekends anyhow).

As far as continuing stories go, mine are works-in-progress, even though I have an outline. So, I try to write enough for the week and then post them one or two at a time. But I'm going on vacation at the end of August, so I want to wrap this up before then. Last year I was doing the first Randolph story when I went on vacation and I had to upload all the stories for when I was gone and set the date for them to post each night, and I don't want to have to do that again. So I imagine the rest of this story is going to come out in large chunks.
