9:30 A.M. - Well, that was fruitless. None of her friends have seen her since yesterday, which is certainly not keeping my mind from racing. I'm on the phone right now with my therapist, who is doing his best to calm me down. It's not working. He says I should take some deep breaths and play this out in my head. That's good advice, but I'm more interested in finding my stripper girlfriend! Who needs this new age crap? My stripper girlfriend is gone and I feel like beating some people up over it. Upon hearing me say that my therapist tells me that if I really am going to infiltrate the Mad Gear headquarters, then maybe I should take the car and just drive down there. I opt against that advice, because with this traffic it's just as fast to walk there, all while beating up everybody that gets in my way. Besides, the Mayor will be here any second; he's been beating up fools all the way from his office to my house. He'll definitely be in the mood for what I'm about to do.

10:30 A.M. - I'm still waiting for the Mayor to show up. All the time I think about the terrible things that this unruly gang is probably doing to my stripper girlfriend. They could be keeping her locked up in a glass cage or making her listen to a marathon of Kenny G's holiday albums. Oh the horror!

11:25 A.M. - The Mayor finally showed up, I tried to explain that taking the subway would be easier, but he wasn't having any of that. He simple stormed through the house and grunted for me to go with him. Again I wonder how this guy could become the Mayor of Metro City; you would think that the voters in this city would be smarter. Regardless, I have no choice but to go with him. He suggests we start in the slums, I don't know why since that's all the way across town and we're going to have to take my car to get there.

12:05 P.M. - The Mayor informs me that fighting five dozen gang members has taken a lot out of him and that he's hungry, instead of hitting up the local KFC or Taco Time, the Mayor decides to kick over a garbage can and eat a full Thanksgiving dinner. It was the strangest thing, apparently somebody had cooked a full-sized turkey just moments earlier, but for whatever reason they decided to dump it in the garbage can. I'm not sure how the Mayor knew it was there, but hats off to the guy for thinking of that. This is the first relaxing moment I've had all day, it's nice to just be able to sit around and take a breather from time to time.

12:45 P.M. - We've only been at this for a little over an hour and I'm starting to get tired, I try my hardest to convince the Mayor to take a car or a subway or something ... anything, just so I can sit down and take a breather. He wants to keep going, even if that means taking longer. His plan, from what I can gather, is to beat up the entire city and send a message. At this point I'm not even sure he knows what the message is, but I reckon it's something along the lines of: "You take my daughter and I'm going to beat up everybody in the city." He's not exactly a deep thinker, if you catch my drift. We've decided to enter this ugly rundown building in the slums and see if anybody has seen my stripper girlfriend.

1:00 P.M. - Nobody has seen my stripper girlfriend, but that hasn't stopped us from stepping into a whole heap of trouble. Apparently what we thought was a rundown building is actually a cover for some sort of fight club. I would tell you more, but rule number one is ... oh never mind. The whole thing is run by this guy named Sodom. Well, that's what the Mayor keeps calling him, yet his nametag reads: Katana. Have things gotten so bad in Metro City that even the thugs are starting to censor their names?

1:24 P.M. - Just my luck! So I FINALLY am able to convince Mr. Won't Take Public Transportation to take the subway and what happens? We get into a raucous street fight ... ON THE FLIPPING SUBWAY! How the hell does that even happen? Worse yet, the subway crashes half way between stations. We end up footing it the rest of the way, which is only made worse by the fact that we are still fighting these blasted gang members. C'mon, we're in the middle of a subway tunnel, why would any gang members want to fight us down here. The Mayor mentions that he's hungry, but I opt against raiding another trash can for lunch.
