Burning Desire is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson by the primary antagonistic C.R.A.S.H. team, comprising officers Frank Tenpenny, Edward "Eddie" Pulaski and Jimmy Hernandez, from the Jim's Sticky Ring donut shop in Market, Los Santos, San Andreas.

Mission

Carl enters the donut shop and is spotted by Tenpenny, who tells him to come and sit with them. Tenpenny and Pulaski act with hostility towards Carl, with Tenpenny reminding him that C.R.A.S.H. owns him. Tenpenny then informs Carl of a 'gangbanging, drug-pushing, cop-killing bitch', holed up in a building in East Los Santos, who doesn't like them. Tenpenny tells Carl that he wants the gangster dead.

Carl first heads to an alleyway in Downtown Los Santos to collect some Molotov Cocktails that C.R.A.S.H. had left, before heading over to the building in East Los Santos. Carl kills the Los Santos Vagos gangsters surrounding the building and then throws molotov cocktails into five windows around the building. The 'holed up' man, a member of the Los Santos Vagos, runs out of the building, on fire, and dies.

Carl then notices a woman trapped inside - to save her, Carl enters the building and gets to the upstairs bedroom she is in. Then, using a fire extinguisher he got, he puts out fires blocking their way, helping the woman escape the building. The woman graciously thanks Carl, and asks him to bring her to her house. Once there, she introduces herself as Denise Robinson, and both of them agree to meet some time later.

Script

Tenpenny: HEY! CARL JOHNSON! CJ!

CJ: (to himself as he enters) Oh, shit...

Tenpenny: Come on over here, son! (to Hernandez as Carl arrives) Move over, let him sit down, asshole! (when Carl sits) So you finally found time to drop by.

CJ: Man, I've been busy. I've been burying my moms, man.

Pulaski: Sounds like a fucking excuse to me.

Tenpenny: Officer Pulaski thinks you're trying to screw with us, Carl. Now you get this straight. We own you. You're ours. We can shit on you from such a height you'll think God himself has crapped on you. You understand?

Eddie Pulaski: He better fucking understand.

Tenpenny: Yeah, he better had. Time to go to work, CJ, and earn your freedom. (Carl stands up) There's a guy holed up across town. You got that address, Pulaski? (Eddie pulls a slip out) Another gangbanging, drug-pushing, cop-killing bitch, just like you. We don't like him and he don't like us. Now you make sure he never leaves the neighborhood - not even in a box. Now get the fuck outta here!

(Carl leaves for the house and torches the building. Suddenly, a woman goes screaming, apparently in danger, trapped on the building's first floor.)

Denise: Oh God, I'm so scared!

(Carl and the woman, who is rescued by him, begin to leave the house, getting as far as the landing, where the part of the ceiling collapses.)

Denise: OH-MY-GOD, what was that?

CJ: Hey, the building's starting to collapse, we gotta get out of here, fast!

(Carl and Denise work their way through the house in an attempt to escape.)

CJ: Quit panicking, I'm on it! I'm on it!

(Carl and Denise continue to work their way through the house in an attempt to escape.)

CJ: Gimmie a second girl, don't panic!

(Carl and Denise continue to work their way through the house in an attempt to escape.)

CJ: Hold on, we're nearly there!

(Carl and Denise work their way through the rest of the house and escape.)

Denise: Hey, man, I owe you my life... (kisses Carl) I was nearly dead there, for sure!

CJ: Hey, you look pretty shook up, girl, you want me to take you home?

Denise: Yeah, please, thanks.

(They get inside a vehicle.)

CJ: Where you live?

Denise: Just off Grove Street.

CJ: No shit! What you doing in Vagos 'hood?

Denise: I like to live dangerously. You're CJ, right?

CJ: Yeah, how you know me?

Denise: Everybody in the Grove knows you and your brother, but I thought you'd run away.

CJ: I never 'ran away' OK, I just needed to... get away from shit.

(They are near the girl's house in Ganton.)

Denise: This is my place, here!

(They arrive outside the house.)

CJ: Hey, what's your name?

Denise: Denise, Denise Robinson. Give me a call sometime, we should go out, or something.

CJ: Yeah, I'd like that.

Denise: (exits the car and waves to Carl) OK, I'll catch you later, CJ.

Reward

There is no monetary reward for completing the mission, although the player can collect some money inside the house. The mission Doberman is unlocked after a phone call from Sweet, given that the mission Cesar Vialpando is completed. Carl also gains some molotov cocktails and a fire extinguisher, whilst Denise becomes Carl's girlfriend.

Trivia

• The building cannot be re-entered after the end of the mission, except when using the Hidden Interiors Universe.
• The interior of the building shows damage after the end of the mission, although the exterior looks the same.
• There is a wad of $50 in Denise's room that can be picked up, on the table next to her.
• This mission is one of three to not work correctly if too many cheats are used, the other two being Photo Opportunity and Madd Dogg. At the end of the mission, Denise will not move anywhere near the door of her home during the end cutscene, and will instead roam around the areas shown onscreen and eventually leave the screen completely, making the cutscene endless and the game unplayable without reloading a previous save. Using over 100 cheats before or during the mission will trigger this effect.
• The player has an unlimited supply of the fire extinguisher and can actually put out all the fires inside the house. However, if the player goes outside then back inside, the interior will be burning again.
