The ambiance of the alarm clock echoed throughout the entire apartment as Jay stood up from his bed, stumbling from sleep deprivation. Jay exited his room, walked stumbling to his kitchen, reached the cabinets, and opened the cupboard full of cups. Jay grabbed his favorite coffee cup, placed it on the counter's edge, and plugged in his coffee maker. Jay opened the window and smelled the air, felt the breeze, and listened to traffic sounds in Liberty City.

Jay takes this walk every day to get to his job. Jay is a Junior stockbroker for a company named "PayNStock Investments." Jay has worked for this Stock Company for three years and is tired of making nothing compared to his co-worker. Jay feels a sense of jealousy and sadness every time he walks to his job. He hates the way he lives, does the same thing every day, and does not impress his bosses. After 18 minutes, Jay finally arrived at his job, entered his office, and saw his co-worker. His co-worker Marcos Santiago Madrid is very shady; Jay knows how he operates outside the job. Marcos is a loan shark, and Jay is a target of his. Jay has borrowed some money from Marcos to invest in the stock market. Jay thought this was a good idea, but things didn't turn out like he thought they would, most of the stocks Jay invested in went to the ground, and Jay lost every cent he borrowed from Marcos.

For the first time, Jay slept happily and woke up without sleep deprivation or stumbling through the ambiance of the alarm that still annoyed him. Jay grabbed his blue Polo shirt and khaki slacks. When Jay exited his apartment, he turned to the left and walked towards Luigi's Pizzeria. While walking, Jay stopped by the local coffee shop named "Carls Coffee & Lunch" he bought a coffee and continued his walk when he noticed Marcos following him.
