Caught in the Act

A pier in Rockford, Staunton Island

Salvatore smells the Forellis behind his troubles and wants to know why they had the mayor turn on him. He has grabbed the mayor’s assistant. Take the speedboat, man the gun while gunmen and a helicopter chase you across the bay, and keep Salvatore and the assistant alive until he talks.

Objectives

  1. Meet Salvatore at the pier.
  2. Protect the boat from the Forelli gunmen and the helicopter.

Fact finding

Salvatore calls: he can smell the Forellis behind all the trouble he is in. Why did they get the mayor to light a fire under him? They are going to do a little fact finding. Meanwhile Ma calls off the contract she put on Toni, since she only did it with his best interests at heart.

The boat

Ride to the pier in Rockford, where Salvatore waits in a Speeder with the mayor’s assistant. They are going to have a little chat about Franco Forelli. Toni gets aboard and the boat heads out into the dark bay.

Hold off the Forellis

Salvatore drives while you shoot. Forelli boats chase you down the river under the bridges, and a helicopter joins in. Aim at each boat and the gunmen aboard, then shoot the helicopter down. A damage bar shows the state of your boat.

The truth

With the attackers dead, the assistant talks: nobody owned the mayor. It is the Sicilians who pushed Franco into it. They own Franco and want a war between the Sindaccos and the Forellis, and when the dust settles they will take over. Salvatore tells Toni he will call him later.
