High Wire is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by drug kingpins Diego and Armando Mendez from their mansion on Prawn Island, Vice City.
Mission[]
Victor Vance visits the Mendez mansion looking for more work. Armando Mendez is there and he is worried about Victor. Armando explains that the police have taken their cocaine and his brother Diego tried suggesting to the police that the cocaine belonged to the Vance Crime Family, and claims he has documents proving Victor's involvement in it. Victor drives to the Junkyard in Little Haiti to meet a member of the Mendez Cartel who instructs him to take a Maverick with a magnet. The first container of the cargo is around Viceport at the police impound, and after Victor retrieves it with the magnet, he drops it at the Escobar International Airport.
The second and last container is being moved out to the police station in Little Havana by a big truck, Victor lifts it before it reaches the police station and drops it at the same place as the previous container. Suddenly when he drops the second container, the Mendez goon is in trouble and is being chased by the Bikers who are damaging his car and Victor has to save him before his car catches fire. Victor flies to Ocean Beach and picks up the car and as instructed, he drops it at the multistory carpark there.
