Cortez’s favor
Cortez says Ricardo Diaz, the biggest drug dealer in Vice City, needs protection at a deal and that he thought of Tommy. A rifle has been left for Tommy in a car park in Ocean Beach. Pick it up and then go to the deal. Head out and drive to the multistory car park marked on your radar.
The rifle and Lance
Go into the car park and take the Ruger from its pickup. A white Infernus pulls in and the man who helped Tommy in the alley steps out. Tommy invites him along, and he introduces himself as Lance. Take him with you in your car, and follow the marker to the alley where the deal will take place.
Take your positions
At the alley, Diaz arrives in an Admiral with two bodyguards. He asks if Tommy is Cortez’s new man. Tommy tells Lance to find a good place to watch from, and Lance picks a balcony and a rooftop. Climb the stairs to your rooftop spot and wait for the Cubans to show up.
Haitians attack
Once the deal starts, the Haitians turn up in waves. Voodoos and Burritos arrive one after another, and the men inside open fire. If you are slow, one of them may flank Lance, so help him at once. Aim the Ruger at the cars and the men getting out, and kill them before they reach Diaz or the Cubans. If you are slow, one of them can wreck the deal. Stay on the high ground and keep shooting.
Chase the thief
Two Haitians on Sanchez dirt bikes grab the briefcase and ride away. Lance brings one down. Take the dead rider’s bike and chase the other one through the alleys, shooting as you go. Do not let him get out of sight, and once he leaves the alleys for the streets his route is unpredictable. Shoot him off his bike, but do not blow up his Sanchez with him on it, or the money is lost. Then collect the briefcase.
Back to Diaz
Pick up the briefcase and drive back to Diaz in the alley. He thanks Tommy and asks his name. He then tells Tommy to look him up if he needs work. When Tommy is alone, he wonders where Lance has gone, and the mission ends.
What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- Lance, Diaz or the Cubans die
- The fleeing Haitian escapes
- The Sanchez is destroyed or explodes with the fleeing Haitian riding it
- You lose sight of Diaz and the Cubans
- You compromise Diaz’s bodyguards before the deal takes place
After the mission
You earn $1,000, Starfish Island opens, and the Kruger goes on sale at Ammu-Nation. The Chase becomes available at Diaz’s mansion.
