'''Running Dog''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] by secondary antagonist and high-ranking [[Grove Street Families]] member [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]], under inspiration from the primarily antagonistic C.R.A.S.H. team, from his [[Big Smoke's House|house]] in [[Idlewood]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].


'''Running Dog''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson]] by [[Big Smoke]] from his [[Melvin Harris' Home|house]] in [[Idlewood]], [[Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]].
==Mission==
Carl goes to Smoke's house. Upon arriving there, he finds corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]] leaving his house. Smoke comes out and tells Carl that they are trying to extract information from him. Later on, he tells him that his cousin is coming to town. The two drive to a place to meet two [[Los Santos Vagos]] gang members. After a short mixed Spanglish conversation, Smoke knocks one out using a [[Baseball Bat|baseball bat]] while the other runs away. Carl manages to catch and kill the other Vagos member.


==Summary==
There is no official stated reason for why everything in this mission took place, but while it is clear that Smoke had no actual intentions of buying any marijuana considering the way he approached the situation, it can be assumed that Smoke was hired to take out the two Vagos members for C.R.A.S.H since they had just been speaking to Smoke previously, however the reason is unknown, though it may be considered that the Vagos refused to sell drugs to them.

Running Dog is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson by secondary antagonist and high-ranking Grove Street Families member Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris, under inspiration from the primarily antagonistic C.R.A.S.H. team, from his house in Idlewood, Los Santos, San Andreas.

Mission

Carl goes to Smoke's house. Upon arriving there, he finds corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers Frank Tenpenny and Edward "Eddie" Pulaski leaving his house. Smoke comes out and tells Carl that they are trying to extract information from him. Later on, he tells him that his cousin is coming to town. The two drive to a place to meet two Los Santos Vagos gang members. After a short mixed Spanglish conversation, Smoke knocks one out using a baseball bat while the other runs away. Carl manages to catch and kill the other Vagos member.

There is no official stated reason for why everything in this mission took place, but while it is clear that Smoke had no actual intentions of buying any marijuana considering the way he approached the situation, it can be assumed that Smoke was hired to take out the two Vagos members for C.R.A.S.H since they had just been speaking to Smoke previously, however the reason is unknown, though it may be considered that the Vagos refused to sell drugs to them.

Script

(Carl drops by Smoke's house. Just then, Tenpenny and Pulaski exit the house, scaring him.)

Tenpenny: BOO!

CJ: Asshole.

Tenpenny: Yo Carl, see you around...

J: Fuck they doing over here, anyway? Punk-ass police.

Smoke: (comes out whining) Those nosey motherfuckers won't leave me alone! Think I'm Mr. Big, or something. But I don't tell them shit. For me, it's all about my homeboy, Carl.

CJ: Yeah, sure, whatever you say.

Big Smoke: Yo, the gang's real important, CJ, you know that! You down to represent, baby?

CJ: Yeah.

Big Smoke: Look, my cousin is coming into town from Mexico, I gots to go scoop her up.

CJ: Alright then, c'mon.

(Carl hops into Smoke's Glendale and they drive to East Los Santos.)

CJ: What you want me to roll with you for anyway?

Big Smoke: No reason. I just wanted to get in the car pool lane.

CJ: Oh yeah?

Big Smoke: Yeah man, just cool out, homie, just chill.

CJ: Your cousin's coming here? From Mexico?

Big Smoke: Yeah, me an' her go way back, way back.

CJ: Ah Smoke, you full a shit.

Big Smoke: Don't be prejudiced again in my presence, Carl. Everybody is my cousin.

(The two arrive at the place.)

Big Smoke: OK, my cousin Mary's in there, sweet, sticky, bud fresh off the plantation. (signals him to pull up in front of two Vagos gangsters) Hey, pull up here, let me do the talking.

CJ: Man, I should've known.

Big Smoke: Hey - excusay mes, Jose, yo soy El Grando Smokio, and I want that grass? Comprende?

(Smoke and Carl laugh.)

Vago Affiliate: Eh, fuck you cabron.

CJ: What?

Big Smoke: Now that ain't nice. Coughio, up el weedo, before I blow your brains out all over the patio.

Jose: Chinga a tu madre, pendejo.

CJ: Man, let me get the heater on this...

Big Smoke: Fuck this, man, fuck this.

CJ: Get him, Smoke.

Big Smoke: Yeah, yeah, you go get that shit, nigga...

Vago Affiliate: (gets hit with a baseball bat) Damn!

Big Smoke: Yeah, motherfucker, Big Smoke! Remember that name!

(Jose tries to get away, with Carl and Smoke chasing him.)

Big Smoke: We gotta stick to him.

(Smoke tires out.)

Big Smoke: I ain't built for this shit!

(Carl chases Jose and kills him.)

Reward

The reward for this mission is increased respect, however Jose drops a large sum of money, around $500. The mission Wrong Side of the Tracks is unlocked.
