The way it's written, I would guess that it was Jacob who went inside, but it could be taken either way.
You could rewrite it -- "Jacob helped Gary out of the car, then went inside and got a drink." Jacob is the one who went in for a drink
Or "After being helped out of the by Jacob, Gary went inside and got a drink." Gary is the one who went inside.
