Armando: "The police got some of our merchandise, but it's you we're worried about."

Vic: "Why?"

Armando: "You see, we're utilitarians. The greatest good for the greatest number; and there are two of us, but only one of you. So Diego suggested we explain to the police that the cocaine was yours..."

— Armando Mendez explains to Victor Vance why he has to recover the captured cocaine.

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 drops-by the Mendez mansion looking for more work. Armando Mendez is there and he's worrying about Victor. Armando explains that the cops have taken their coke and Diego tried suggesting to the police that the cocaine belonged to the Vance Crime Family and says he's got a paper showing Victor's involvement in it. Victor drives to the Junkyard in Little Haiti and takes a Maverick with a magnet. The first container of the cargo is around Viceport at the police impound, and after Victor lifts it up 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, Diego 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 car-park there.

-'''Armando Mendez''': The police got some of our merchandise. But it's you we're worried about.
-'''Victor Vance''': Why?
-'''Armando Mendez''': You see, we're utilitarians - the greatest good for the greatest number. And there are two of us, but only one of you. So Diego suggested we explain to the police that the cocaine was yours.
-'''Victor Vance''': What... [sarcastically] Oh-ho-ho, oh, yeah, that's very thoughtful of you.
-'''Armando Mendez''': And unfortunately, I have this paperwork showing your involvement in the project. Unless we could resolve this little distraction.
-'''Victor Vance''': And how do you suggest we do that?
-'''Armando Mendez''': You steal the cocaine back for us. It's been impounded. You must steal it before they take it back to the police station. Thank you, Vic. I do so enjoy our conversations. I find you very inspiring.
-'''Victor Vance''': Thanks. Here we go again.
-'''Armando Mendez''': Have fun!
-(''Victor drives to the Junkyard in Little Haiti'')
-'''[[Diego]]''': There are some cargo containers at the police impound. Our coke is hidden inside them, all mixed up amongst the other cargo.
-'''Victor Vance''': Don't worry. I'll get them out of there.
-'''Diego''': Muy Bien. I'll be in touch.
-(''Victor picks up the cargo container at the police impound'')
-'''Diego''' (''on radio''): Senor, take the containers to the drop-off point.
-(''Victor drops the container'')
-'''Diego''' (''on radio''): Caray! The cops are moving the last container. Get it back! Vamos!
-(''Victor lifts the last container.'')
-'''Diego''' (''on radio''): I can't believe you did it! Senor, it's been a pleasure watching your work. Adios.
-(''Victor drops the container at the drop off point'')
-'''Diego''' (''on radio''): Senor! Senor! Please, help me! The Bikers are after me! I can't get away! Oh, Madre dios!
-(''Victor reaches the east island'')
-'''Diego''' (''on radio''): Come quick! Help me! Please, senor!

 ==Trivia==
-*Many people may confuse the Diego in this mission with [[Diego Mendez]] one of the leaders of the [[Mendez Cartel]].
+*Strangely, the bikers who chase Diego have civilian models, instead of using the ones from the [[Vice City Bikers]].
-*Arguably the most difficult part of this mission is crossing the city in time to pick up Diego's car, while Diego drives fast and erratically around Ocean Beach. Pretty much the only way to catch him is to intercept his vehicle on the Ocean Boulevard straightaway; by this time his vehicle will be approaching maximum damage and if Vic is unable to grab the car before Diego turns onto a side street, the level is pretty much lost.
