Kill Phil

Kill Phil: Part 1 is the thrid mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories played for Reni Wassulmaier.

Brief
Reni has a friend called Barry Mickelthwaite. Barry is a solo music artist manager and he owes Giorgio Forelli $3.000.000 and since he can't pay yet, Giorgio has threatend to kill Barry's number one client. So Barry wants Vic to protect him and his client while they're in Vice City. As the first task, The Player will have to pick up the client at the meeting point and take him and Barry to their hotel. The player will be surprised that the client voicing himself is the legendary pop star, Phil Collins! Two of his solo songs can be heard on the radio, "Easy Lover" on Flash FM and "In the Air Tonight" on Emotion 98.3. A third song featuring Phil Collins, "Turn it on Again" by Genesis, also appears on Flash FM.

The Mission
Get in the Deluxo outside Reni's office. Barry will get in, drive to the marked hotel in Vice Point, near the Malibu Club.

There will be a black bulletproof Stretch parked in the parking lot. Get in it and Barry will follow, now drive to the meeting point in front of Avery Carrington's lot. A Maverick will arrive and off will get Barry's client and he's no one else but Phil Collins himself. As soon as he gets off, several Forelli Family assasins will arrive and shoot down the copter.

Now Vic comes in. Get a good gun and kill all the assasins before they kill Phil. After Phil and Barry argue a little about the just attempted hit, they will both get on the limo. Now get in and drive them out of there. the player needs to get Phil and Barry to their hotel in Ocean Beach, however, while driving them there, several Forelli assasins will try to gun the player down from the street, from incoming cars and from blockades set-up in the road. Don't try to gun the goons as well, just concentrate on getting to the hotel as the limo is bulletproof. When the player dodges the assasins and get to the hotel, it's mission accomplished. After this Vic can purchase the bulletproof limo from Sunshine Autos for 1000$.
