In 1951 Jake took on a case involving a little girl who was looking for her missing father. At the conclusion of that case, in which Jake felt he had recklessly endangered the little girl, he decided to close his detective agency.
He bought the Existential Cafe shortly after. In 1959, after a run-in with some Beatniks, Jake was pulled back into the detective game, eventually re-opening his agency.
But no story has ever been told about what Jake was up to during the eight years in the 1950s that he wasn't a detective.
Until now. Stay tuned...

This recap was a bit inspired by Neville, who after being away from his story Fedelta, gave us all a welcomed refresher. Maybe he'll do that again when he gets back to that story!

Thanks for that kick in the jacksy Christopher! I promise to get back in the Fedeltà saddle again as the story is really hotting up. I reckon I might have another 200 drabbles to go to complete it, give or take. You never know, if I restart it might bring Drew back to the Drablr fold...

I hope so. Maybe Jake will help pull him back too.

Wowowow, I have so much to catch up.
I am glad Jack is coming back.
And I do hope Drew is OK.

Oooh I can't wait to learn more about the mysterious Jake Randolph! And the Existential Cafe sounds very intriguing :D

Thanks, Firefly. The cafe, despite the name, isn't mysterious or anything. It featured heavily in the story about the Beatniks. It was the club they hung out in.
