2. Vlad's Jobs

Bull in a China Shop

Vlad asks you to teach some guy a lesson. This guy will be a bit more to the north than you are used to going. Once there, talk to the man and then you must find something to throw at his window. Turn around and go to the dot on your radar to find a brick. Pick it up, bring it back, aim, and toss it at his window to get the money. Now drive it back to Vlad.

Now just wait a bit longer for a text message that he has another job for you and go do it.

Hung Out to Dry

Just go up the street and hang a right. Walk to the marker and the dude will split. Run through the back door and then get in a car, tap a button to quickly hotwire, and then chase after him. All I did was ram his van into a wall and then pinned him, but I suppose he may hit an end point, or maybe you can pull him out of the van. Either way, corner him to make the success.

Again, back to Vlad.

Clean Getaway

After one long scene, you will find a bat on the ground, but getting it will replace the knife, so it's up to you. Walk down the street and then up the ramps and stairs to get up to wait for the train. Get in like you would a car and then note the camera angles, or just skip to the destination.

Now down the steps and a short walk down the road to find the Blista Compact, a car. You can use a stun punch, or just beat the guys to death, then in the car. Drive it back south as Vlad calls, and then you need to take a quick detour to a car wash. Do so and then back south.

*NOTE: You could also have just jumped in the car without fighting.*

At this point you may have a man-date with Roman, so feel free to pick him up and take him to the bar or Cabaret Club (check your map). If you go to the Cabaret Club, just go in and take a seat in the booth. It's actually a wee bit entertaining, though a bit lame too - maybe just go to the bar. Either way, you can make a man-date whenever you want. Actually, you can still go to the bar, but going there just makes you drunk, and if you drive, let's just say it's a bad thing all around. Do not drink and drive, period. Just take Roman home, and give him a kiss too.

Anyway, on with Vlad's jobs.

Ivan the Not So Terrible

Well, just make your way to Roman's shop, but Ivan will already by speeding away, so chase him. After some sharp turns a big jump or two, you guys will end at a construction yard. You will learn how to climb ladders, so climb all of them up to the crane. You'll see him make a leap onto a roof, so you do the same (you have a jump button FYI). Always jump or just sprint and you'll leap across the rooftops. Follow Ivan to the edge of the last roof where he will be left on the side. Just go meet him and wait for the options to save or kill him pop up. It's best to spare him, as you get your money either way, and something extra way later in the game.

This is when I got a call from Michelle about a date, so you should be ready for a call now or later, or maybe before. Just go to her and you will get more markers on the map. Go there and find the Restaurant to the south and take her there; you can set markers on the map too. When you take her home you can try your luck, but it's best to just tell her goodbye. Try your luck on the next date.

Buy anyway, no more Vlad quests for now, so onto Little Jacob.
