After years of trying, Jack convinced State Farm to offer him a job on the West coast. The job is with their Special Investigative Unit, which sounds like a Law & Order spinoff and in reality isn't far off. SIU focuses on two flavors of suspicious cases - the so-called "Mom & Pop" variety, and larger conspiracies. An example of the former would be someone who reports a 42-inch plasma T.V. missing, but whose story has a number of red flags - they bought it a week ago, with cash, from a store they can't remember the name of. No doubt Jack's years of experience in Claims adds to his value.
The job starts in about eight weeks, which would be near Thanksgiving. The hours? The pay? Doesn't much matter, as long as it's a Sunday drive from the beach and Hollywood, where the dreams of movie-writing stardom can flower more easily for him and his wife Becky.
