It's Your Call

It's Your Call is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. It reveals Roman's gambling addiction, and also introduces Cell Phone usage in the game.

Drive Roman
In the opening scene, Roman introduces Mallorie Bardas, an employee and his girlfriend. Shortly afterward, Vladimir Glebov introduces himself, and mentions that Roman should pay his debts.

Roman asks Niko to drive him to the hardware store on Dillon Street in Schottler. The player must enter the taxi and follow the GPS route to the destination. Along the way, Roman reveals that the hardware store is a front for a back-room gambling racket. He also reveals that the money he's using to play is money that he owes to the Albanian loan sharks.

Lookout
Upon arriving, Roman gives Niko his old Cell Phone, with his new phone number already programmed into it. He asks Niko to serve as a lookout and watch for the Albanian loan sharks in a beige Willard, and to call him if they arrive. He also warns Niko not to hurt them.

If the player remains in the car, he or she will soon receive a call from Roman, raving about what good luck he's having. Shortly thereafter, a beige Willard pulls up to the curb across the street and the Albanian occupants step out. The player must call Roman to warn him.

Evasion and Escape
Roman will sneak out the back door, and jump into the taxi. The player must get Roman back to his office, but he reminds Niko that he isn't to hurt the loan sharks, as this will only infuriate his debtors. (The player will also fail the mission.)

The player must follow the GPS route back to the office, drive into the marker, and then complete the short lesson on Cell Phone usage in order to complete the mission.

Trivia
If you slowly follow the loan sharks going inside the card room, you can go into the interior of the building, which is just a dark room with a table with chairs around it. Doing this will of course fail the mission for alerting the Albanians.
