After [[Photo Shoot]], [[Niko]] will get a call from [[Mallorie]], saying that [[Roman]] has been kidnapped. In this mission, [[Dimitri Rascalov]] will send you a message of Roman, being kidnapped and a shotgun pointed at him. (You would have got the [[Whiz|higher grade handphone]] from [[Playboy X]] by now so you can view pictures.) Niko grunts and says, "Dimitri, you have crossed the line! You are a dead man Dimitri, a Dead Man!" before hanging up the phone. Head over to the warehouse in Lompoc Avenue in Bohan where Roman is being held. Go to the back of the building and pick up the [[AK47]]. Nearby is a set of walls and Dimitri's goons inside. Take cover under the wall and pull out a powerful weapon. Shoot one of the guards to let them know you mean business!

Take out every guard from the first floor while in cover. Some are in cover too, so go inside and finish them. Walk up the stairs to the second floor and look to your right. About five goons are hiding. Shoot them and use their cover to kill the rest of the people on the second floor. Make your way to the third floor and shoot the goons on the roof. Kill the last of the ones inside and get into the room where Roman is being threatened by a goon.

It is recommended that you don't use any explosive weapons as there are lots of explosive barrels and if you use a grenade or rocket launcher in there you'll be killed instantly by the explosion, but when you are on the first floor you can use either to take out some goons on the upper floors.

[[Dimitri Rascalov]] sends a violent picture of Roman held at gunpoint which Niko mutters at (if you call Dimitri after reading the text, Niko will angrily curse at him, saying he will cut his fucking head off and threaten him).  


There are two ways to free Roman: get closer and free-aim an assault rifle or use a sniper rifle. If you want to free aim with an AK 47 or similar weapon, get a bit closer until you have a clear view and shoot the goon. You can zoom in and use the sniper rifle as well.

Once Roman Bellic is freed, you will see a scene where the goon is executed and Roman is freed and injured. Get into the nearby [[Bobcat]] and drive him to the [[Bohan]] safehouse, but make sure not to hit any red explosive barrels near the warehouse, as hitting them will explode the car.
