== Part One ==
+
== Mission ==
   
After that last bit of trouble, [[T-Bone Mendez|T-Bone]] is convinced that somebody is onto them. [[Mike Toreno]] calls T-Bone, and apparently he is in trouble. T-Bone tells [[Carl Johnson]] and [[Jizzy B.|Jizzy]] what's happening -- some thieves have taken the yay shipment and the van, and Mike is still inside. After the cutscene, a timer will appear on-screen lasting 5 minutes and 30 seconds (thats 5 and a half game hours). This is the length of time that Mike's phone battery will last. Mike is giving details to T-Bone, and its your job to drive to the locations that Mike is describing. First, he says that he can hear seagulls and heavy machinery, so they suggest the building site in [[Doherty]]. However, ignore that order and head straight towards [[Easter Bay International Airport]]. On the way there, Mike says that he can hear a truck reversing, so your second target would be the docks down in [[Easter Basin]]. Again, ignore that and continue heading towards the airport. The gates are already open by the time you arrive, so head in, go through the tunnel, and onto the runway area. At this point, the battery timer will have stopped.

[[T-Bone Mendez|T-Bone]] is convinced that somebody is onto the Loco Syndicate. [[Mike Toreno]] calls T-Bone, and apparently he is in trouble. T-Bone tells CJ and [[Jizzy B.|Jizzy]] what's happening -- some thieves have taken the drug shipment and the van, with Mike still inside. Mike is giving details to T-Bone through phone, telling him his cellphone battery is almost dead. CJ drives T-Bone to the locations indicated by Mike, and finnaly finds that the real location is the [[Easter Bay Airport]], where Mike's transponder starts working, showing the relative distance betwen Mike and T-Bone. Guided by the  transponder, CJ finds the van and rescues Mike from the [[Da Nang Boys|Da Nang thieves]]. Mike leaves the van after the thieves are killed, and, not knowing CJ, hold him on gunpoint, only to be stopped by T-Bone, claiming CJ is one of Jizzy's "clowns". Mike realises that the [[Police]] will arrive soon and they must torch the van with the drugs inside, despite T-Bone's unwillingness to do so. CJ destroys the van, then drives Toreno and Mendez away from danger and back to Jizzy's club.
   
 
== Part Two ==
 
 
 
T-Bone explains that, after the last attack, Mike hid a transponder in the white.
 
Use the reading from the signal bar to find the van, with Mike inside. (Toreno's location is completly random and will not be the same every time). The van is towards the east of the airport. As you approach, the thieves will drive away -- a van and two bikes. They drive towards the north of the airport, and stop. If you have a [[Rifle|rifle]] or a [[Sniper Rifle|sniper rifle]] handy, stop, get out of your car and stand at a large distance from the van, shoot off the bikers, and get back in the car. Drive towards the van and suddenly 4 guards ([[Da Nang Boys]]) will attack. Simply run over them, or get out of the vehicle and kill them with the help of T-Bone. After the 4 guards are eliminated, Mike exits the back of the van. You must torch the van with the white still inside. Unfortunately, Mike and T-Bone don't actually cause damage to the van, so it's up to you. Throw a [[Molotov Cocktail|molotov]] or a [[Grenade|grenade]] towards the van, if you have one, but if not, use whatever it is available (if you don't have any weapons, you can ram it off the edge of the airport and into the water).
 
==Part Three==
 
You automatically gain 2 stars. Get inside the [[Stretch|limousine]], or if you want you can get in a Maverick and fly to pleasure domes with Mike and T-Bone, and exit the airport. Drive through the red marker and you will now have 3 wanted stars. Make your way to the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] to lose the heat -- Mike and T-Bone will perform drive-by shootings as you do so. Get back to the [[Jizzy's Pleasure Domes|pleasure domes]] and stop in the red marker.

CJ drives T-Bone to the locations indicated by Mike, and finnaly finds that the real location is the Easter Bay Airport, where Mike's transponder starts working, showing the relative distance betwen Mike and T-Bone. Guided by the  transponder, CJ finds the van and rescues Mike from the Da Nang thieves. Mike leaves the van after the thieves are killed, and, not knowing CJ, hold him on gunpoint, only to be stopped by T-Bone, claiming CJ is one of Jizzy's "clowns". Mike realises that the Police will arrive soon and they must torch the van with the drugs inside, despite T-Bone's unwillingness to do so.

  • Sometimes when crashing too much, the bar will not fill up. To fix this glitch, load a saved game and attempt the mission again.

  • This mission provides a good opportunity to take the 2 Snapshots located at the airport.
  • During the cutscene where Toreno exits the van after he was saved by CJ and T-Bone, a small error can be noticed: a second yellow van appears in the background next to the vehicle CJ drove to the airport and a white limo which Carl can use as an escaping vehicle.

  • A first clue about Toreno's real identity as a governmental agent appears in this mission, where he asks for CJ's wallet while they are driving back to Jizzy's club. This is a possible explanation for why Toreno avoids meeting Carl afterwards and takes extra care in following missions, coming in a helicopter in Pier 69 , faking his death, calling CJ with  a voice interference so he cannot be recognised etc. As a governmental agent, he always has to know who is he meeting.
  • It not necessary to drive the Premier to rescue the Toreno, through the game instruct you to enter the car, you can then exit the car and drive the car that you want.
