Reward
6,000 points, +1 score multiplier

An important client of the Mob is being hassled by an upstart. You collect the client’s money, steal a Coach, pick up the upstart and take him to a back alley where the client’s men are waiting.

Before you start

Keep your wanted level at zero when you pick up the upstart; the Coach is large and slow to turn.

Take a car you can leave behind when you swap to the Coach.

Objectives

  1. An important client of ours is getting hassled by some upstart. We want to wipe him out. Collect the briefcase from the client’s representative in Southwest Soho.
  2. There’s a bus waiting for you in West Brixton. Use it to pick up the harasser, who is getting VIP treatment to a football match, in Southwest Southwark.
  3. Take him down the back alley in South Hyde Park.
  4. Get out of the bus, but make sure it gets a proper seeing to.
  5. Get into the S-Cart waiting round the back and drive to the garage in Southeast Mile End.

The briefcase

The call tells you a client’s representative is waiting in Southwest Soho with money for the job. Drive there and collect the briefcase, then head for the next stage. Nothing here is dangerous, but a wanted level will make the Coach part harder, so drive carefully.

Steal the Coach

A message sends you to West Brixton, where a bus is waiting. Use it to pick up the harasser, who is on his way to a football match in Southwest Southwark. Find the white Coach and take it. It is long, so give yourself room on corners and avoid scraping the buildings along the road.

Pick up the upstart

Drive the Coach to Southwest Southwark and let the harasser get on. Then you are told to take him down the back alley in South Hyde Park, where some of the client’s associates want to talk things over. Keep the Coach undamaged, as it fails the job if it is destroyed before you arrive.

The alley

Drive into the alley behind the stadium and stop. Get out of the Coach as the message tells you, and move away. The client’s men deal with the upstart and blow up the Coach. Do not stay close to it when this happens.

Collect the money

A message tells you a car is waiting round the back and tells you to hurry to the garage in Southeast Mile End. Take the red S-Cart parked next to the alley, which holds the rest of the client’s money, and drive across the city to the garage. Watch for police on the way.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • the harasser is killed before you reach South Hyde Park
  • the Coach is destroyed before you reach South Hyde Park
  • the S-Cart is destroyed

After the mission

You receive 6,000 points and a +1 multiplier. The next call follows right after, so go straight to the second job from this phonebox.
