Vic later hooks up with his brother Lance and does jobs for shady figure [[Bryan Forbes]]. When they find out that Forbes is an undercover [[Vice City Police Department|cop]], they take him to an apartment and interrogate him on various jobs and deals within the city, in exchange for not killing him.

Victor's personality differs from most of his previous counterparts. Throughout GTA Vice City Stories, he claims that he wants out of the drug game but has no choice. Victor also shows emotion and feels regretful for having committed all the crime and killing. He always shows a serious attitude with a calm but angry personality and always wants to get everything he came for instead of doing it for nothing (as seen in "[[Taking the Fall]]"). However like most other GTA characters, he has little problems on killing anyone who stands in his way and he often insults the people he is about to kill. He is also quite hypocritical as he is always saying that he wants out and doesn't want to be in the drug game any more but still continues to deal with drugs throughout his life.
