At the Italian restaurant in Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale. edit 8-Ball: Listen, man. I'm sorry I couldn't warn you about Vinnie sooner but I've been on the run soon after Vinnie's bombing. I just found out myself from the goons Vinnie sent to take me out. You may have seen them on your way in. edit Mike: Yeah, I saw the dead bodies out front. It's good to see you, 8-Ball. I'm glad they weren't able to take you down. edit 8-Ball: You too, man. But this isn't over yet, I think there'll be more people gunnin' for you. The word's out that you took down Vinnie and that you've got his money. edit Mike: But Vinnie squandered most of it! I only got a hundred g's - not worth turning these streets into a blood bath! edit 8-Ball: It doesn't matter what the facts are, it's what people believe, man. Now you're on top of their list, and gangs like the Cartel, and the... what the hell's that noise? edit Cartel Boss: You're going to pay for killing Cisco! He treated you like a son and had high hopes of educating you in fashion sense and the merits of giving driver licenses to illegals! This is how you repay him? edit Mike: It wasn't me! When I came back to the scene, he was already dead. edit Cartel Boss: I don't believe you and neither do my men. Prepare to die! edit Mike: Damn it! 8-Ball is down. I can't let these bastards get him... edit After surviving the first wave of gangsters. edit Mike: Hmmm, this doesn't look good... edit After surviving the second wave of gangsters. edit Mike: Damn, here comes another group of Cartel thugs. edit After surviving the third wave of gangsters. edit Mike: Damn, I didn't realize Cisco had so many working for him... edit After surviving the last wave of gangsters. edit Mike: 8-Ball! The Cartel has pulled back. Let's get out of here! The cops will be here any second. edit 8-Ball: Naw, man. I can't move. My legs are busted and I'm burned real bad. You go on without me. edit Mike: I'll make it up to you someday, 8-Ball. I promise! edit Mike leaves the restaurant. edit Mike: The cops are on to me since I just took out half of the cartel gang. I'd better lose them. edit After losing the wanted level. edit Mike: Damn, the cops got 8-Ball. All my friends are either dead or in jail. They think I'm easy pickings because I'm only one man. I'm tired of running and getting ambushed by unknown assailants. I'm going on the offense. It's time to bring the heat to them. edit
