Meeting Jonnie

Drive to the marker at the docks in Portland Harbor and stop on it. Jonnie is waiting there. Mike tells him that Vinnie is dead and that he wants to know what Jonnie knows about the death. Jonnie claims that Vinnie owed him money and says that, as Vinnie’s partner, Mike can work off the debt by taking him to his bar.

Losing the pursuers

Almost at once Jonnie realizes that someone wants him dead, and a group of cars starts to chase you. A countdown starts and the pursuers show as red dots on the radar. Keep moving through the Portland Beach streets, take sharp turns and do not stop. Jonnie is the one who dies if the car is wrecked, so avoid head-on collisions.

To the bar

Once the chasers are gone, the objective changes to taking Jonnie to his bar in the Red Light District. Follow the radar through Portland View and Chinatown. The route is straight and long, so keep to the middle lane and avoid slow traffic. Near the bar, Jonnie warns you that somebody has set up an ambush for him.

Clearing the street

Gunmen are waiting on the street outside Jonnie’s bar and open fire as you pull up. Get out of the car and take them out, keeping moving so they cannot line up a shot. Do not drive away, because the mission only finishes once every attacker is down. Jonnie is the target, so stay close to him and finish them quickly.

What fails this mission

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

  • Jonnie dies

After the mission

Jonnie thanks you and pays $5,000. Come back to his bar later for Time’s Up.
