Shoreside Vale (Liberty City, island 3)

Freedom Flies

Giver
Mike
Location
begins automatically at King Courtney's compound in Cedar Grove
Reward
$40,000

With King Courtney beaten, the police have the area surrounded and you have five minutes to reach Cisco’s plane at Francis International Airport. You do it with a six star wanted level.

Before you start

You are given a six star wanted level, so do not try to fight the police. Keep moving and use the main roads.

If a tank appears, it is worth taking. Otherwise take the fastest car you can reach.

Objectives

  1. Make your way to Francis International Airport before time runs out.

Out of the compound

Mike sees the police closing in and decides to take Cisco’s plane out of the airport. He wishes he had a tank to get through the resistance. A five minute timer starts and you are on foot inside the compound with all six stars lit. Head out through the gate and take the nearest car on the street.

Run the gauntlet

Follow the radar toward the airport. Police cars and gunmen show up as soon as you move, so avoid heavy fire by driving across lawns and side streets where you can. Do not stop for traffic, and do not leave the car unless it is about to blow up.

Reach the plane

The last stretch runs through Pike Creek and onto the airport grounds. Aim for the marker beside Cisco’s plane. When you reach it, Mike climbs aboard and thinks of the friends he lost on the way: Jonnie, Cisco and 8-Ball. He drinks to them and says he will settle down in Cisco’s beloved Colombia.
