Before you can leave Liberty City you need fake IDs, and Vinnie sends you to his old friend 8-Ball, who runs the bomb shop. On the way back the police come after you, so you have to lose them before you reach Vinnie.
Before you start
Look for the star pickups and the Pay ‘N’ Spray on the radar, since you will need one of them to drop the cops.
Objectives
- Go to 8-Ball’s pad, north of the restaurant. Follow the pink dot on the radar.
- The cops are on to you. Go to the Pay ‘N’ Spray or run over star pickups to bring your wanted level to zero.
- Return to the restaurant to meet Vinnie.
Fake IDs walkthrough
Head for 8-Ball
Vinnie says you are close to leaving, but first you will need fake IDs. His friend 8-Ball, who runs the bomb shop, can sort you out, and he will be at his pad. Get in a car and follow the pink dot on the radar north through Portland Beach until you reach the blue circle at his shop.
Pick up the IDs
Walk into the circle to meet 8-Ball. He asks whether you are a friend of Vinnie’s, hands over the IDs and asks you to tell Vinnie that they are even. Thank him and head out; the job seems done, but it is not.
Lose the cops
A pager message from Vinnie warns that someone has tipped off the police. You now have a two star wanted level in the corner of the screen. Drive for the Pay ‘N’ Spray, or run over the star pickups on the street, until the stars are gone. Then go back to the restaurant.
Back to Vinnie
Once the stars are gone, return to the restaurant and pull into the blue marker. Vinnie says that you are nearly ready to go and tells you to be ready, since he will meet you in Chinatown.
After the mission
You earn $3,000. Vinnie will meet you in Chinatown, which starts Getaway.
