The mafia needs protection money collected, and the people paying expect Federico, not you. You pick up three briefcases around Portland, fighting off Trenton hoods on the way, and bring the cash back to Vinnie.
Before you start
Bring the pistol and keep it loaded, because the last two pickups are guarded.
Have a fast car ready for the Trenton stops.

Take the job from Vinnie
Vinnie tells you the mafia wants its protection money collected. The people paying will be expecting Federico, so he warns you not to mess it up the way Federico did. Mike asks what this has to do with leaving the city, and Vinnie says do this and the mafia will help. Get in a car and follow the first green dot.


First pickup
The first stop is a narrow lot in Portland Beach, near the hospital and the restaurant. Park nearby and walk to the briefcase, which a man hands over without any fuss. Mike remarks that this one should be a piece of cake. The next green dot lies in Trenton, so get back in the car.



Trouble in Trenton
At the second stop two hoods are waiting. Kill them with the pistol, staying outside the car so you can aim, then grab the briefcase they were guarding. Do not hang around, because more Trenton gang members drift in once the shooting starts.



Chase down the third briefcase
At the third stop a dealer who expected Federico asks where he is, then runs with the cash. Kill him and the men with him, and take the briefcase. Vinnie’s voice explains that Federico has been retired from collecting. If anyone gets away, chase them on foot, since the money counts only when you pick it up.



Return to the restaurant
Drive back to the restaurant and pull into the blue marker. Mike tells Vinnie he almost got killed and that the Trenton hoods are not worried about crossing the mafia. Vinnie says he will bring this to their attention.



After the mission
You earn $3,000. Vinnie’s next job, Payback, opens.
