Mike returns to 8-Ball following the [[Getaway|death]] of Vinnie and agrees to work for him whilst 8-Ball investigates Vinnie's death, saying he has some ideas of who was responsible. 8-Ball first has Mike [[Twisted Metal|dispose of Vinnie's body]] at the [[Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard]], as "they don't ask questions". Following this, Mike helps to [[Ill Repute|pimp out]] three women (including [[Misty]]) to "high-rolling" clients, [[Droppin' Bombs|deliver a package]] to an angry customer, and extract [[Scorelli (mission)|revenge]] on [[Scorelli]] for 8-Ball. 8-Ball, with information from one of the prostitutes, sends Mike to [[Love Boat|meet]] a bar tender, [[Jonnie]]. 8-Ball later meets Mike again in a diner, but the two are [[Love of Money|ambushed]] by the [[Colombian Cartel]], who are looking to kill Mike following the [[Decoy Disaster|death]] of leader [[Cisco]]. 8-Ball burns his hands during the ambush and is unable to escape, telling Mike to do so before the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|police]] arrive. | ||

After being convicted a decision is made to transfer him, along with bank robber [[Claude]] and a [[Old Oriental Gentleman|un-named elderly man]] to the police station in [[Portland View]]. The police convoy, however, is [[Introduction (GTA III)|attacked]] by the Colombian Cartel, who successfully kidnap the un-named elderly man. In the confusion, 8-Ball and Claude work together to escape and get far enough away to not be injured when a bomb, planted by the Cartel, destroys the [[Callahan Bridge]]. The two then escape to a [[Portland Hideout|hideout]] in the [[Red Light District]]. | ||

His friendship with Claude, however, is assumed to have come to an end when [[Salvatore Leone]] attempts to set Claude up, and he has to flee [[Portland]]. | ||
