Two Days after the Jamestown Street Mission… 10:00 PM

Well, today is the day that I move out of the Pink Cage Motel. Given that I had $116,000 from the Jamestown Street skirmish and the money transfer, I asked my older brother, Marcus a.k.a Marc for some extra cash which he did. Guy gave me $50,000 thanks to the extra income he's been getting from the military. I needed it because I didn't have enough left over for some good change.

Now, for those who don't know, Marc is my older brother by two years. For those who don't know our ages, I'm 26 years of age, he's about 28. The both of us are close as we looked out for each other, but we criticize one another for certain issues and jobs.

As for example, my former Merryweather occupation. He hated the Security organization for having their Shadow Wars over 20 countries or more and getting away with some incidents involving the murder of innocents in the Middle East.

What made him more upset that I had gotten involved with them and we didn't contact each other for months before my withdrawal from Merryweather. Nowadays, we're still on good terms and email each other from time to time.

Anyway, back to the present time. Before I moved out of the motel, I went on the internet to go myself a property from Dynasty 8 Real Estate's website. Apparently, they have good prices for their apartments, ranging from High-end to Low-end Apartments, so I brought an Apartment on 1115 Boulevard Del Perro since it could save me a good amount of money.

With that being settled, I packed the rest of my belongings into my Gauntlet and drove from the Motel all the way to Del Perro. It painfully took me twenty five minutes just to get there due to the traffic in this city! It's a pain in the ass just to get from place to place. Next time when I drive, I won't give a crap when I'm swerving across traffic. The quicker, the better.

I finally enter the apartment garage and part of the place looks like a second class garage. I've seen better while residing in Liberty City. Now, when I went upstairs, I was expecting a well-made apartment with some good lighting. This was not the case, before my two blue eyes was before me a "modern ghetto-styled" apartment.

"What in God's name is this bullcrap?" I shouted in the air.

From my surroundings, I can tell it's kind of messy for an apartment. There are some recent stains on the floor which I have no intentions of knowing where it came from and small parts of the carpet were torn into small pieces, exposing the bare blue floor. Part of the stone, grey walls of the living room were fading away in paint and the kitchen counter was somewhat dusty! What happened to spring cleaning in this city?!

Oh, that's not the only thing I have to say about this place. Some guy had the nerve to leave his belongings in the room that he had just moved out of. The room was something else though. It's small, but the walls have colors of light green and brown, around the closet area and the TV respectively.

The closet wasn't messy, but I couldn't say the same for the counter where the video game system and recording equipment were located. The white counter where the video game system was had a bunch of food left over from Burger Shot and the brown, multi-drawers counter with the recording equipment on top had a few vinyl records of Madd Dogg and others underneath it with two of the drawers halfway open. As for the bathroom, the lower half of the walls were filled with tiles of blue and brown, with the upper half possessing light brown colors. Unfortunately, the window beside the shower was dusty due to not being cleaned in a while

I became really frustrated and went downstairs to management to complain about the apartment. Next time, I should really save my money for a better one to stay in.

"Hey Mr. Manager of the Year, you didn't clean out some damned bum's apartment and the place is barely clean!" I angrily told the manager. Now this manager has dark red hair, overweight, sweaty, and has a moustache that's worthy of belonging to a molester. Also, his nametag reads "Donald".

The upset manager replied, "Well, I'm sorry 'Mr. I Need to shout at someone!' We haven't been doing well since this goddamned economy went down the toilet! Also, the guy who used to own it is dead. He died in a shootout between his gang, the Families and the Ballas some weeks ago. Guy never had any living relatives, so it's your problem now."

"Damn it! Guess I'll have to throw away some of the items this guy owned. Plus, I'll need someone to refurbish the entire apartment. Can't look like I live in a piss-poor place."

Due to the matter at hand, I threw out more than half of the items the dead man owned and gave them away for charity. The only ones I kept were the movie posters, sound system, record player, Exsorbeo 720 game system, and vinyl records since I thought it would go with the place. I was able to call a refurbisher to handle the apartment .

About 45 minutes pass by and the apartment's living space looks better. Everything about it looks cleaner than it did earlier. No more future rats, spiders and dirty places! I pay the cleaning service about $150 dollars and relax back for the rest of the day. I then proceeded to tune the radio to Radio Los Santos with Blu and Exile's "Soul Amazin (Steel Blazin')" came on.

I thought to myself, "Home Sweet Home" as I drifted off to bed that night.

Hey guys, Tom tha Author here. Just wanted to push out another chapter for you guys to make up for being missing from the website for the last two weeks. Now this chapter right here is more focused on some humor and lighthearted moments. I don't always want to do violent story chapters, sometimes it's good to do that in order to relax your mind. For the Exsorbeo 720, it's a parody of the real-life Xbox 360/One. For those who don't know who Madd Dogg is, he is an important character for GTA: San Andreas (a game which I've sadly never played). Marcus Marston is an OC who I introduced (sort of) in the 2nd Chapter of this story as I didn't feel like being the only Marston child would be a good thing for Thomas.

For the next chapter, the mission "Pier Pressure" from Gerald will be featured and some Online elements might be included. I'll also need to figure out how to explain the GTA Online DLC's for the story. PM me for ideas detailing that. I just want to thank those who've been reading this story so far and I want to give thanks as always. Hope you enjoy this one. It's on me. Thanks and peace out.
