Day 2 - 07:53 (Soon)
You pawn the pistol and 9mm ammo, getting a paltry $43 in return, which only increases your grumbling.
Your attempts to find low-income housing are foiled when you discover that it's the middle of the night and no landlord is actually awake. Annoyed, you buy a newspaper and check the classified section for an apartment or job to pass the time. When dawn breaks, you've marked off all the promising advertisements, planned the shortest route between them, and practiced some basic hygiene for the interviews.

Your attempts to find the bastard who stole your shit fail completely, because he (or she) wasn't stupid enough to stick around and wait for you to have your vengeance and all. Pissed, you head back to the golf-cart to wait for your companion. As you wait, your ears pick up the high-pitched whine of police sirens coming your way. You whisper, "Damn GM, you told me that my actions didn't merit a Blow-by-Blow!"

You wander around the subway, looking for somebody who is as well-dressed as he is gullible. Your prayers are answered, when a very confused-looking regional manager steps onto the platform. "WHAM!" you yell as you hand him the papers, since normally they don't make such an impressive sound when you hand them to somebody. Your plan goes even better than expected. Not only do you get his business suit, but an additional $500 bribe. Ha!

While it's a know fact that warehouses often contain a whole manner of awesome and useful things (or boxes. Either or), the sad fact is that all of them are guarded. Admittedly most of the guards are just rent-a-cops, but at this point in time you decide brutally murdering them is a bad idea. Keeping out of sight of any cameras or people, you check the warehouses as best as you are able. Most of them are too well guarded for you to enter, but eventually you find one that is just patrolled by one guard. Sure, it's empty, but it's a victory none-the-less. Plus, a container full of simple chemicals was hidden under one of the shelves. Sweet.

Since Jessica seems to be off in her own little world, you head off to find somebody to steal their identity. After much searching, you encounter a drunk passed out in the street. unlike most drunks, this guy looks half-respectable. A quick smash over the head, and you loot the body. Most of his money is gone, but his ID is still safe and sound. Apparently his name was Joesph Schultze. After dressing up in his clothes and quickly altering your face in a nearby store window, you look like the splitting image of the guy.
Well, your image isn't the only thing that's splitting. As you walk down the street, you get the mother of all headaches. The pain is so immense that you eventually black out from it. As you come to, you notice Jessica standing over you, in the clothes that you took off of Joesph Schultze. Seeing you wake, she thanks you for the clothes before skipping away merrily. As she skips away, you spot your money in her grubby little hands. Damn it. At least she left you with the ID and your revolver.
