Mission 16 of 105Story mission
Big Smoke wants Carl with him to collect his cousin, and the collection turns out to be an ambush that leaves one Vago running. Everything the mission actually consists of happens after that: a foot chase through Los Santos after a man who does not want to be caught.
It is a short mission and an early one, and the reason it matters is what Big Smoke is doing in it. Read once, it is a favour for a friend. Read after the story has finished, it is one of a run of errands whose purpose is not the one Carl was given.
The objective names Emmet's, which means the mission expects Carl to need something. Taking the detour costs nothing and the chase that follows is much shorter when it ends with a shot rather than a sprint.
The Vago runs on foot and keeps to alleys and gaps a car cannot follow. Either take the shot early while the line is clear or leave the car and chase properly — trying to do both is how he gets away.
Who this mission brings together, and the ground it covers.
Playable
Home in Los Santos after five years in Liberty City for his mother's funeral, and stopped by the same two police officers who drove him out. Rebuilding the family's standing turns into rebuilding most of the state's.
