Ok readers, this is it. This is the one that convinced me that Lance has NO RIGHT TO BE ALIVE! This is the mission that almost caused the demise of my PSP.

Very important note here. . . .before you even begin this mission, make sure you have a well stocked mini gun in your inventory. You will thank me for this advice later.

You arrive at Lance's house looking for Louise, but instead you find her sister there in a panic because your old friend Mendez has once again kidnapped her. You've had enough of this crap and you are now highly motivated to put an end to the situation. Lance seems entirely dis- interested until you get outside and the Mendez Brothers send a message to you both by blowing up Lance's car. Apparently this is what it takes to get Lance mad, so he grabs the Freeway he stole from the bikers back in the mission "Taking The Fall". Lance is getting himself in way over his head, so you need to take off after him and at least take a shot at keeping him safe. As soon as you have control, run east up the sidewalk in the direction Lance went, and you should see a PCJ sitting by the palm tree in front of you. Jump on the PCJ and prepare for the most frustrating ride of your life. On your radar ahead of you, you will see a red marker and a blue marker. The blue marker is Lance, and his health meter is also on the screen. You can't let Lance die or the mission is failed, and therein lies the biggest problem you will face in this mission. As soon as you take off on the PCJ, you will most likely pass a car with a red marker over it stuck sideways up against a tree in the median. I don't know what kind of glitch this is, but it is persistant and it happened EVERY time I tried this mission (and that was a considerable number of times). If you feel the need you can shoot this car until it is on fire and then carry on. He generally never gets the car unstuck so he can follow. Now catch up to Lance and the next car. Lance is driving that bike like a complete idiot. He's is all over the road and the car full of Mendez goons are shooting at him, and soon you, as you approach the car. Now, the Mendez car does hold a steady enough course, frequently enough that you can put quite a bit of damage into it by firing forward from your PCJ, the problem you have here is that Lance's enraged driving is so erratic, it almost seems as though he is TRYING to get killed. If anyone or anything is going to hit you and knock you off course so you can't shoot at the car, it's going to be Lance. If anyone is going to knock you off the PCJ, it's going to be Lance. If anyone is going to shoot Lance to death, it's going to be YOU because it seems to be a mission for him to dart in between you and the car when you finally have a good bead on it and can get some lead into it. He's there and you've taken a considerable chunk of his health before you even have a chance to pull your finger off the trigger. In doing this mission over and over again, Lance was killed more times by ME than the Mendez goons.

You will have to deal with this car in the beach area, there will be another on the short stretch of road from the police station to the Malibu Club, another as you head north past the Malibu club and sometimes one more as you dart through town to get to the bridge over to the Mendez mansion. It is possible on occasion to destroy one car and get to the next one well ahead of Lance, in which case, put as many bullets into it as you can before Lance comes up behind you and knocks you into oblivion. The goal here is for Lance to get to the bridge over to the Mendez mansion.

If by some stroke of luck or Divine Intervention or whatever the hell it takes you manage to get to this point, the rest of this mission will seem easy in comparison. Before you go to the Mendez mansion, make sure your armor and health is at max. If you need it (and with Lance's behavior, you most likely will), there is armor on the movie studio lot back in the corner near the outer space set. There is health nearby as you enter the circle that leads up to the Mendez home. It may look a little daunting with all the guards and vehicles blocking the driveway, but truth be told, you're going to ignore every single one of them and go straight into the house. Prepare yourself from a distance before you take off. You are going to aim your bike into a small space by a car that will allow you to enter the right (east) entrance to the circular driveway. As soon as you are past it, you will head around the left (west) side of the house so you are going in a straight line across the front yard. Keep going around the house as quick as you can and turn in behind the house between the house and the pool. You should be right by the door with the blue marker to enter the house, and you should have taken very little damage from the guards on the way by. Arm your mini gun before you go in, and enter the marker when you are ready.

You will be face to face in what is obviously your final showdown with Armando Mendez. He lets you know that Lance and Louise are upstairs and hints that they are already dead. (We should be so lucky that Lance is dead) Armando is sporting a lovely flamethrower and this thing can do a hell of a lot of damage to you in a big hurry if you haven't followed my advice. There is health and armor in the room if you need it, but you most likely won't be in here long enough to even figure out where it is. When the camera angle changes so that you are looking down on the showdown, you have control back. Make sure you are pointed straight at Armando and lay on the trigger for that mini gun in your hand. Armando's health meter will drop in less than two seconds and he'll hit the floor dead before he ever gets to show you what his flamethrower can do. You will now watch the final cut scene. Louise will die after the two of you say your good byes, and Lance will stumble out of the house behind you. The mission is complete.

**GAME GLITCH!! It is a common glitch that the final cut scene for this mission will have no audio. There isn't anything that can be done about it, but know that sound will be restored as soon as you are placed back outside and get the reward screen. If you really need to know what they said, go into the pause menu and read it in the Brief.**
