An Old Friend

An Old Friend is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. There is no boss for the mission, which begins in the Ocean View Hotel in Ocean Beach, Vice City.

Mission
The games protagonist, Tommy Vercetti, enters the Ocean View Hotel and begins to go up to his room. After entering his room, he receives a phone call from his boss Sonny Forelli, a high ranking member of the Forelli Family. Sonny wants to know how a drug deal involving Tommy and the Vance Crime Family went. Tommy informs him that the deal was ambushed and that both Harry and Lee, who had accompanied him, are dead. An irate Tommy reminds Tommy that he is 'not a man to be messed with' and that he will have to get his money back. Tommy reassures Sonny that he will get the money back. The phone conversation ends, with Tommy throwing the phone on the floor.

Script
Tommy Vercetti: Hello Sonny.

Sonny Forelli: Tommy! Tommy, it's been too long. I know, I know. You're just overwhelmed with emotion. Fifteen years - seems like only yesterday.

Tommy Vercetti: I guess that's a perspective thing.

Sonny Forelli: Hey, doing time for the family is no piece of cake, but the family looks after its own, ok? So, how'd the deal go down - you sitting on some white gold?

Tommy Vercetti: Look Sonny, we were set up. The deal was an ambush. Harry and Lee are dead.

Sonny Forelli: You better be kidding me Tommy. Tell me you still got the money.

Tommy Vercetti: ...no Sonny...I don't have the money.

Sonny Forelli: That was my money, Tommy, MY MONEY! You better not be screwing me Tommy because you know I'm not a man to be screwed with!

Tommy Vercetti: Wait Sonny. You have my personal assurance that I'm going to get your money back and the drugs. And I'm gonna mail you the dicks of those responsible.

Sonny Forelli: Hey, I already know that. You're not a fool Tommy, but I warn you, neither am I. If it was anybody else you'd be DEAD already. But because it's you, because we got history, I'm gonna let you handle this.

Tommy Vercetti: Look, Sonny, you got my word. I'll be in touch.

Reward
There is no monetary reward for completing the mission. The Ocean View Hotel as a safehouse and the mission The Party are both unlocked.
