Calm Before the Storm

Calm Before the Storm is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Joseph Daniel O'Toole from Paulie's Revue Bar in the Red Light District of Portland Island, Liberty City.

Mission
Toni drops by Paulie's Revue Bar, where O'Toole informs him that the Sicilians are trying to broker a peace between the families. However, Salvatore thinks he smells a rat and wants someone to follow Massimo Torini. Toni drives to Sal's home and arrives just as Torini flies off in a helicopter. Toni follows him to Hepburn Heights, where Torini meets the Diablos and promises them Hepburn Heights if they help the Sicilians. Torini then flies to Chinatown and meets the Triads on a rooftop, informing them that if they co-operate with the Sicilians they will be 'taken care of'. The Triads, however, spot Toni. Torini flies off in the helicopter, whilst Toni escapes by killing the Triads.
