[[Playboy X]] offers Niko some money if he helps out his recently released friend Dwayne. Dwayne wants Niko to recover some money from a guy named [[Jayvon Simson]], who not just ratted out Dwayne and sent him to prison many years ago, but is also the current boyfriend of Dwayne's ex-girlfriend, [[Cherise Glover]]. Dwayne says that he was sending this money to Cherise while he was in the joint to help her pay her rent, but now that he knows that she was giving the money to Jayvon instead, he wants it back. Niko agrees to help out the melancholic Dwayne saying that Dwayne reminds him of himself.

[[File:RuffRider1.jpg|right|300px|[[Niko Bellic|Niko]] guns down [[Jayvon Simson]].]]
 
Head over to the [[Videogeddon]] arcade in [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]]. Niko will spot Cherise and Jayvon together. When Jayvon sees Niko, he fires a [[Micro-SMG]] at him but Niko ducks just in time. Jayvon grabs a [[Hellfury|motorcycle]] and heads off leaving Niko to quickly deal with Cherise.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
The player is given the [[Player Choices in GTA IV|option]] to either spare Cherise or kill her. At gunpoint, Cherise begs not to be killed, swearing upon Dwayne's loyalty and that he would want the same, unlike Playboy who would just care for the money. If spared, Niko thinks that Dwayne doesn't need the death of Cherise on top of his other problems, and Cherise will be available for a [[Random characters|random encounter]] later. Her encounter isn't required for [[Achievements and Trophies (GTA IV)|achievements]] or [[100% Completion in GTA IV|100% completion]]. If the player chooses to execute her, Niko will simply shoot her once, thinking that she'd have tried anything to get away.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
Get on the nearby [[NRG 900|motorcycle]] and chase Jayvon. It is possible to just head due south and cut off [[Jayvon Simson|Jayvon]]Ā at [[South Parkway]]. If Jayvon happens to fall or is knocked off his bike by any reason, he will pull out his [[Micro-SMG]] and shoot back. If Niko runs away from him for a distance, he will hijack/get in the nearest vehicle and chase back Niko. (Might a bug) If Niko outrun from Jayvon for a distance, the player can found him stop and sit still in his vehicle and do nothing until be killed.
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
For a slightly easier chase, take a car to the mission and run back to it, rather than taking the intended motorcycle. This will allow the player to simply knock Jayvon from his bike and run him over, rather than trying to control the bike and gun at once.
 
āˆ’  
After finished him off and took the money, Niko will automatically phone Dwayne. Meet him at the [[Cluckin' Bell]] near [[Star Junction]] and give him the money. Dwayne will have a different dialogue depending of which decision the player took, regarding Cherise, if Cherise is spared, Dwayne will say that he's happy she isn't dead due to her being "just an idiot", if Cherise is killed, Dwayne will also be satisfied due to her being "such a bitch".

My girlfriend, the love of my fucking life...Man, I was pulling moves in the joint so this bitch could pay rent. Now, she won't answer the phone.
ā€
ā€” Dwayne Forge

Ruff Rider is the first mission given by Dwayne Forge in Grand Theft Auto IV to Niko Bellic.

Description

Playboy X offers Niko some money if he helps out his recently released friend Dwayne. Dwayne wants Niko to recover some money from a guy named Jayvon Simson. Dwayne has a feud with Jayvon as he was the man who informed the police of Dwayne's illegal activities, resulting in Dwayne being sent to prison. Jayvon is also the current boyfriend of Dwayne's ex-girlfriend, Cherise Glover. Dwayne says that he was sending this money to Cherise from prison to help pay her rent, but now that he knows that she was giving the money to Jayvon instead he wants it back. Niko agrees to help out the melancholic Dwayne, saying that Dwayne "reminds him of himself".

Niko heads to the Videogeddon arcade in Chinatown and sees Cherise and Jayvon together. Jayvon spots Niko and fires at him with a Micro SMG. Niko dodges the bullet and Jayvon escapes on a Hellfury.

After either killing or sparing Cherise (player's choice), Niko steals a nearby NRG 900 and chases Jayvon through the city, eventually killing him and retrieving Dwayne's money. Niko phones Dwayne, who asks Niko to meet him at the Cluckin' Bell near Star Junction. Niko meets Dwayne there and returns his money. Dwayne also asks about Cherise: If she is spared, Dwayne will say he is happy she isn't dead due to her being "just an idiot".
