Calm Before the Storm walkthrough

JD’s new club

JD is delighted: the Sindaccos have all been kicked out and the club is all his now. He has heard the Sicilians are trying to broker peace between the families, but Salvatore smells a rat. He wants someone to follow this guy and see where he goes.

Tail Massimo

Reach Salvatore’s mansion before Massimo leaves at 10:50. Massimo drives off and the objective tells you to follow him without losing him. Keep your distance, or he will notice you. He heads through Saint Mark’s and Portland.

The secret meeting

Massimo meets the Diablos and promises them Hepburn Heights. Then he moves off again: follow him to his next meeting in Chinatown. You need to get in closer to hear what he says. Creep up behind the vehicles and listen. He tells his contact to keep the Leone bastards tied down in Portland, and that when his associates control the city, they will be taken care of.
