Blow Your Cover (Elizabeta)

Elizabeta needs your help; she asks you to oversee a heroin deal for her friend Johnny. And this time you won’t be alone. Another friend, a guy with a great name, Playboy X, will provide assistance.

Objective: Take Playboy to the contact’s apartment.

Grab a vehicle and drive Playboy along the marked route to Johnny’s place. If you acquire a wanted level along the way, be careful—Playboy X will start shooting at the cops, which could escalate the situation! Remember that when you’re crossing the toll bridge. It might be worthwhile to pay the $5 this time.

Objective: Follow Playboy to meet the contact on the third floor.

Pick up the shotgun in the corner before going up the stairs.

Exit the car and proceed inside the apartment building. Playboy X starts up the stairs to the third floor. Before joining him, grab the shotgun resting against the wall at the end of the hallway. Head up the staircase and go up to the third floor. Enter the open apartment or go to the right side to trigger the next cut scene.

It’s obvious within seconds that the buyers are acting weird…cause they’re cops! You regain control under cover. Eliminate a couple cops across the room. Playboy X provides assistance and states your next objective: clear out the floors on your way to the apartment rooftop.

Exit the apartment into the hallway. There are another couple cops in the hall; one on either side of the hallway. Take them out and proceed to the staircase. Advance slowly up the stairs; a cop rolls into view at the top. Be ready for him! There’s another cop on the opposite side of the floor. Turn around and back up the remainder of the stairs so you’re facing him when you reach the top.

Take out the cops on the next floor and spot the rooftop ahead. There’s a much-needed health kit just outside on the roof—grab it! Keep close to Playboy and eliminate the cops that appear on the opposite side of this rooftop. Playboy continues to the adjacent roof. Grab body armor on the right side as two more cops attack. When Playboy keeps moving you need to stay close—and certainly watch your step and not fall off the roof—otherwise you abandon Playboy and fail the mission.

Eventually Playboy will move down a catwalk and staircase to another rooftop. Continue toward the rooftop door on this level; here a cop bursts through so be ready to eliminate him. Open the door at the top of the stairs and take out the cop below. Start down the staircase and terminate all the cops along the way.

Objective: Lose your wanted level.

All this commotion has created a two-star wanted level. When you reach the ground floor, join Playboy X in the car across the street. Start driving! Get away from the cops as quickly as possible. You don’t need to escalate the situation with a three-star wanted level by killing cops (Playboy X will be shooting!). Watch the mini-map and drive away from the police. If you spot cops ahead, take a side street to get out of the flashing wanted zone.

Objective: Take Playboy back to his apartment.

Once you’ve cleared the wanted level, you’re safe to drive Playboy back to his place. It’s way out in Northwood on the middle island. Follow the marked path and drop him off to complete the mission. Expect a call from Playboy X soon—he’ll soon offer you work.

Out of the Closet… (Brucie)

Roman and Brucie are up to something. Lyle Rivas’ cousin owes Brucie money and Roman and Brucie have devised an unusual way of trying to get it back—online dating. Roman is currently working on your online profile.

Objective: Go to the Internet café.

Get into a vehicle and follow the marked route to the Internet café. When you reach the marker outside, you automatically call Brucie to update. He gives you the info: get onto the website Love-Meet and seek out the user named French Tom.

Objective: Use the computer to get on love-meet.net and find French Tom.

Set up your date with French Tom by searching love-meet.net.

Walk into the Internet café and approach the computer terminals. Get online and move the cursor to the "Web" icon and use it. On the homepage, find the advertisement for Love-Meet on the right side of the screen. You could also check your emails too, especially if you haven’t dropped by an Internet café in awhile. You’ve likely received a bunch of interesting mail…as well as a bunch of server-clogging spam.

Once you’re on the Love-Meet page, click on "Male". Scroll down the list of available males (noting your own profile in the process) and find French Tom. Click on the "More" button under French Tom’s photo. Read French Tom’s profile (is he the one for you?) and click the "Date" button at the bottom.

Now you must allow some time until French Tom replies to your email request. You can spend time at the Internet café, go drive around and complete other activities, or even head off to other missions.

When you return later (Roman will usually text message to remind you that French Tom has probably emailed back by now), check your email and spot an email titled "RE: Date Request with French Tom" from frenchtom68@love-meet.net. He tells you to meet at the 69th Street Diner in Hove and gives a meeting time. He also says he’ll be wearing a red rose. Send a positive reply to set up the date.

You now can wait until the designated appointment time. Check your phone organizer for the exact time. You can keep your phone’s organizer open to keep track of the current game time. The diner is near your old safehouse. As the date nears, expect an appointment reminder. Also, the heart-shaped "date" icon is marked on your map for further reminder. Get to the diner to meet French Tom.

…Out of the Closet (Brucie)

You sit down and meet with French Tom. During the conversation, you’re told how to stand up. Listen to French Tom ramble on for awhile but soon the conversation turns to owing back money, which eventually prompts French Tom to get up and leave. Take the opportunity to stand up before and shoot him or wait until he tries to leave and shoot him as he exits the diner. If he gets out, chase him down.

The commotion may create a wanted level, which will need to be lost before taking on the next mission.
