Requires White Lies

Unlocks Burning Bridges (once High Wire and Farewell To Arms are also completed)

Louise phones Vic in a panic, saying that thugs are following her and that she is hiding behind a burger bar. You ride across town, find out which car she is in, and get her to a hospital.

Before you start

Start with a fast vehicle in good shape and full health. The whole mission is a race against Louise’s condition, so a long wanted level would cost you time.

Objectives

  1. Go to King Knut’s burger bar.
  2. Find which car Louise is in before she dies.
  3. Louise isn’t here. Check out another car.
  4. You’ve found Louise! Get in the car.
  5. Take Louise to the Downtown hospital before she dies.

The call

Louise calls, angry and frightened. She says Martinez’s men have been following her and she is hiding at the back of a burger bar. Vic promises to deal with it and the mission begins at once. Your bike is parked outside, so get on and follow the marker to King Knut’s burger bar.

Riding to King Knut’s

The ride crosses a good part of the city at night. Slow down on the last stretch, because the next step starts as soon as you arrive at the burger bar.

Which car is she in

Martinez’s gang has taken Louise and put her into one of several cars. A Louise meter appears and her health drops over time. Check the cars marked on the radar one by one by getting close to them. Each wrong car gets the message that Louise is not there, so move straight to the next. Gunmen stand around some of the cars, so clear the ones in your way but do not linger.

Taking her to hospital

When you reach the right car, an arrow marks it. Get in and drive straight for the Downtown hospital. Louise’s health keeps dropping while you drive, so avoid collisions and take the shortest route. Drive through the hospital entrance and stop at the marker. A cutscene shows Vic calling for a doctor.
