Events of GTA: San Andreas

Following his exile from Los Santos, Carl Johnson, who along the way has befriended the pot-growing hippie, The Truth, has arrived in San Fierro to find the garage he won in a race against Claude and Catalina to be derelict. This prompts CJ and The Truth to seek out and hire The Truth's friends Jethro, Dwaine, and Zero, all living in San Fierro, to work in the Doherty garage and turn it into a successful chop-shop. Along the route to locating The Truth's friends, he asks CJ to stop in certain places in order to monitor the movements of some mysterious vans, one spot being Downtown, near the Cluckin' Bell, where he admonishes the other passengers to "think of a pink golf ball".

Later, after killing Jizzy B, the Loco Syndicate's San Fierro muscle, CJ hunts down and kills T-Bone Mendez and Ryder, two other syndicate big-shots, before they can meet with Mike Toreno on Pier 69. Toreno's chopper, having spotted the dead bodies, flees to an unknown location. CJ soon learns the chopper is leaving from a location Downtown, and heads there to find a low-slung building with a helipad from which the chopper is attempting to take off. After rushing to the helipad, CJ narrowly misses the chopper, and grabs a nearby rocket launcher and hops onto a waiting PCJ-600 in order to pursue the chopper on the freeway and shoot it down.
