The mission is initially simple: The player is required to head to the mentioned location of the pick-up (located in the middle of a block connected by cramped alleyway) and obtain the briefcase pickup containing the protection money. However, the player will then be surrounded by a group of five Triad members (two on two sides and one on the third side) armed with [[Baseball Bat|baseball bats]], who proceed to immediately attack the player. From this point on the player can choose to either kill the Triad members or flee; upon killing all the Triad ambushers or leaving the block another abusing Triad member (this time armed with a [[pistol]]) will pursue the player in a [[Triad Fish Van]]. Regardless of whether the player kills the remaining Triad, the player will complete the mission once they deliver the money to Momma's Restaurante.

Regardless of whether the player kills the remaining Triad pursuer, the player will complete the mission once they deliver the money to Momma's Restaurante.

==Trivia==
==Notes==
*Toni refers to himself as Toni '''K'''ipriani yet in [[Cipriani's Chauffeur]], he addresses himself correctly as Toni '''S'''ipriani.
* Toni refers to himself as Toni '''K'''ipriani yet in "[[Cipriani's Chauffeur]]", he addresses himself correctly as Toni '''S'''ipriani. The "Kipriani" pronunciation eventually fell out in favor of "Sipriani", as evidenced in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].
* While very narrow, the alleyways still lend room for a moderately sized vehicle to be driven through. An efficient tactic is to carefully drive the player's vehicle directly next to the protection money pickup, allow for a quick exit, while being able to run down at least one ambushing Triad.
