Mystery Killer
Mike must choose to meet XOX at Wichita Gardens, or Cisco at the airport.
Optional: Visit Cisco
Starting the mission at the airport with Cisco will display an additional cutscene.
Mike | This is a nice getup you've got here. Cisco, you look ready to flee at a moment's notice, who'd you blackmail this time? |
---|---|
Cisco | Mike, mi amigo, it has been too long. Regrettably, I see that time has done nothing to improve your manners or your sense of fashion. Where was I? Oh yes, a trap, it seems that a number of people want to see you dead. |
Mike | Tell me something I don't know, like how'd you come to know about this supposed 'ambush'? |
Cisco | Amigo, you wound me deeply and I would have you beaten but, as you can see, this is a virgin wool rug and much too pricey for your blood. The bomber was someone in my employ and I want to find out as much as you do why he was killed and who did it. Besides, you can prove useful to me once more. I'll send you some men to help if this meeting does indeed turn out to be an ambush. |
Mike | You seem at a loss like everybody else about who's behind this. I'd better track down the one lead I have, whether it's a trap or not. |
Wichita Gardens
Whether you chose to visit Cisco first or not, you'll still end up meeting "XOX" at Wichita Gardens. When you arrive, walk into the blue circle to start the meeting.
As you do, the pager contact will come running over.
Gangster | He told me you'd show up but I didn't believe it. He said you were direct and didn't care much for subtlety. |
---|---|
Mike | Who's 'he'? And what the hell is this about? Are you working for the guy who killed the bomber? |
Gangster | How perceptive of you, perhaps you're not as dumb as he led me to believe. As far as his identity, well, he didn't say. Perhaps you'll find out after we send you to hell. Get him boys! |
If you decided to start the mission with Cisco, he'll send some guys to assist you. They don't do much, but they do keep a few of the goons busy. You'll also see one extra piece of dialogue in the cutscene with the contact.
Mike | We'll see who's the fool here. I'm not alone and helpless like you thought! Let's get it on... |
---|
After the cutscenes are done, you'll need to take down the contact and a bunch of his goons. They aren't particularly well armored, so just run away far enough that you can shoot them. As always, a shotgun makes light work of everyone.
Cisco's guys will help to distract the enemies if you chose to visit him, but it doesn't matter if you accidentally wipe them out too.
Once all of the enemies are dead, Cisco will page a message to Mike telling him to come to his headquarters at the airport.
When you arrive, walk into the blue circle on foot.
If you chose to start the mission with Cisco, you'll see the following cutscene.
Cisco | Amigo, I hope my men proved useful to you sometimes they are in awe of better men and stay back in the shadows of their superiors. I don't like to label such things as cowardice but less refined people might state it as such. |
---|---|
Mike | I'll say this: they managed to frighten a few civilians and not run away. Thanks for the help. What brings you to Shoreside, Cisco? |
If you went directly to Wichita Gardens to start the mission, the final cutscene will go like this.
Cisco | Amigo, you are alive! Did I not warn you? Did I not say what a devious, horrible trap they had waiting for you? You must see my tailor, your clothes are filthy and you smell like a beast. Please do not sit down or I will shoot you. |
---|---|
Mike | It's good to see you too, Cisco. Not a bad place you've got here. Why the change in location? |
Either way, the final part of the cutscene ends like this.
Cisco | Asuka didn't take kindly to my botched kidnapping attempt of Yuka and I thought it'd be wise to be close to the airport to make a fast escape. Ha! I fooled for a second, didn't I? You thought of me as a coward, as some sissy boy. No, amigo. I am here to track down the assasin that has taken out the bomber. I will provide you with whatever assistance I can. |
---|---|
Mike | It's strange, they made it sound like this assasin knew who I was. I'll see you around, Cisco. |
