The Colonel’s next job

Cortez thanks Tommy for dealing with Gonzalez but admits that his search for the missing money has produced nothing yet. He has more work, though. A courier is waiting at the mall in Washington Beach with some guidance chips, and Tommy is to collect them and bring them back.

Gear up and drive to the mall

Before you go, stop at Ammu-Nation in Ocean Beach if you want better guns. Then drive to Washington Mall and park by the northern exit, since you will need to leave in a hurry. The courier is on the second floor, so walk in and take the escalator up.

The ambush

The courier, Pierre, is leaning against a glass rail watching the mall. Tommy tells him Cortez sent him, and the deal starts, until French special forces appear and order everyone to freeze. Pierre panics, blames Tommy and runs. Follow him quickly down the escalator and out of the mall, keeping out of the GIGN’s way.

Chase the courier

Outside, Pierre jumps on one of the PCJ 600 sport bikes parked nearby and rides north through Vice City Beach. Get back to your own vehicle and follow him closely. If he reaches his destination in the north of Vice Point, he runs into a building and the mission fails. Use the radar to track him, and kill him before he gets there.

Chips back to Cortez

When Pierre is dead, pick up the briefcase with the guidance chips, which fails the mission if it ends up in the water. Then drive back to Ocean Bay Marina and run onto the yacht to hand the chips over to Cortez. If you attack Pierre before you have spoken to him, he fights back with an Uzi, so approach him first.
