King’s tip

King says he has what you are looking for: Cisco, the head of the Cartel, who he claims set up Vinnie and took the bartender down. A big meeting is about to happen, and wiping it out would hit Cisco’s operation hard. Mike is not fully sold on King’s word, but agrees to go and see the meeting for himself.

Driving to the meeting

Leave the boat in a car and head north-west through Newport, Fort Staunton and Liberty Campus into Aspatria. Follow the map marker, and you can drive almost all of the way. Park a short distance from it, since the Cartel arrive in their own car and you want time to get on foot.

The ambush

Mike waits at the meeting place for the gang to show up, then takes them on. They step out together and open fire quickly, so use the nearby street corners for cover and fire in short bursts. Keep your health up, take out the two leaders first, and then deal with everyone who is left.

King’s verdict

King calls to say these were only Cisco’s lieutenants, not the man himself, and that Cisco is a sneaky devil who will have to wait for another day. After the call you are free to move, and a pager message tells you to return to King’s headquarters.
