Jake Randolph in "The Eternal Night" Pt. 130
"Hello, Brick," she said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Lily," Mason said.
"And who might you be?" she said as she looked at me.
Sperry looked like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming truck.
"Chuck Wood," I said as I put my hand out. "City Building Inspector. Just checking things out here."
She shook it, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wood."
"Likewise," I said. "I'll be in touch, Mr. Sperry."
As we walked off Mason shook his head and whispered, "The ease with which you can lie to people is staggering, Jake."
I just smiled...

Hehe! Who makes the better actor, eh Jake?
Thanks for this bundle of drabbles, Christopher, I’m getting excited about what’s going to turn up in San Francisco... maybe some real action.

Thanks, Neville. Yeah, things will heat up a little in the Golden City. It's been a little light on action so far because of the nature of this particular storyline. Thanks for sticking with it.

It’s not a case of sticking with it Christopher, it’s being part of the build up to the action I know is just around the corner. You have really set up the key characters (and Jake) well. I can visualise Brick as a 3 by 4 by 8 (sized up a bit!😁) and Sperry as a pressure cooker. And Roxie, she may be foxy but probably dangerous! Thanks for the Jakefest again.
