Overview
Franklin Clinton will call the player outlining a target that needs to be tailed to find the assets that need to be destroyed. The player will be provided a duffel bag containing Satchel Charges for later use.

Scenarios
The scenario can vary.

Arms Dealer Tail
"So, another day, and the arms dealers of Los Santos want another favor. I swear gettin' invited over to their country club has got me more work than any other evenin' of my fuckin' life. This time, they want us to take out some small timers who tried to go pro selling some cheap fuckin' ammo. From what I hear, sounds like a mob operation to me. We got no idea where the fuck they at, but Imani's just pinned one of they fuckin' goons that might be able to lead us to 'em. Tail they ass and find out where they at."

- Franklin's description

Franklin advises that their arms dealer clients needs a small time operator shut down.

The target to tail is at Vinewood Plaza in Downtown Vinewood. He travels in a Schafter V12 directly to the warehouse. A detection meter is shown on screen during the tail. If detected, the forces at the destination will be aggressive immediately on entry, otherwise the player retains the element of surprise.

The player must enter the warehouse and deal with the Armenian Mob forces inside and destroy five ammo crates before placing three Satchel Charges on the walls and escaping within the 30 second charge timer (care should be taken, as the crates can only be destroyed with explosives and have a moderate blast radius, enough to kill a player or destroy the vehicles inside). As soon as they exit the warehouse, the player receives a 3 or 4-star wanted level which must be evaded to complete the job.

Warehouse Locations

 * Murrieta Oil Field: Refinery.
 * Los Santos International Airport: next to the Los Santos Customs mod shop.

Counterfeit Tail
"'Ey, listen up: you know the Del Perro Plaze? Yeah, that fine dining place over on Bay City Avenue? Well, the owner's a client of ours... and I just got off the phone with him. Turns out his restaurant is one of the biggest money laundering fronts in the city. But he got a problem: yeah, some Kkangpae fools running a new counterfeiting ring. And that's bad for business... you know, who needs money laundering if you can print the shit for free. He needs us to figure out where the fuck they at, and burn they shit down. I say tail one of their helicopters, and see where the fuck they hidin'."

- Franklin's description

My phone been ringing off the fuckin' hook. Look, Imani's got the name of the guy running the project, so tail his ass back to the base. Get in there, wipe out the whole surveillance equipment, and torch that motherfuckin' place."

If there's one thing I've learned about hanging around these MBA-type motherfuckers, it's that once they start going legit and start paying taxes, they get real pissy with anyone that don't. So check this out: our client today runs Cherenkov Vodka. Their sales been takin' a fuckin' hit, and it's because their consumer base moved to some blackmarket moonshine the Lost MC's have been pumpin' out. They want us to make that shit go away. Blow up the equipment and all that shit. I just sent over the coordinates."

She needs us to tail this pap who's finally got their hands on a real money shot. Seems like she wanted to leak something, but she ended up leaking everything, ya feel me? You job is to follow the pap back to the lockup and plant some motherfuckin' bombs in there. Might be over the top, but... shit, we wanna make sure the camera equipment is gone, gone, you feel me?"

Lockup Locations

 * Little Seoul: behind Park Jung Restaurant.
 * West Vinewood: behind Eclipse Lounge.
 * Downtown Vinewood: behind the Vinewood Plaza Hotel.

Bugs/Glitches

 * The driving AI used for the tailed NPC uses a modified variation so it drives faster and more aggressively. This often results in pathfinding errors where NPCs will fail to avoid obstacles or take unusual detours. In some cases, the NPC might even die from reckless driving, failing the mission.
 * The detection meter during the tailing part of the mission does not seem to work properly, as it will never fill up even if the player drives right next to the NPC. This however does not affect the detection mechanic itself, as the player can still get spotted by the NPC if they tail him too close for too long.
