Mike Toreno: Difference between revisions

Toreno, however, has plans to use Carl to do his bidding and uses his connections to his advantage, telling Carl he could get his brother [[Sweet]] free from prison. Toreno also tells Carl of his true identity, that of a government agent, and tells him that he is not a drug dealer but an agent 'battling threats in Latin America, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY' and that the operation has led to them making numerous allies that have helped 'immeasurably'. Toreno, for his first task, tells Carl to get Cesar and to [[Highjack|steal]] a [[Tanker|truck]] from a rival agency while it is being transported, saying they need the cargo, telling Carl not to reveal to Cesar the reason for the theft.

The next time the two meet Toreno proves his statements of being an undercover agent by relaying the story of corrupt C.R.A.S.H. officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski|Edward "Eddie" Pulaski]], of the [[C.R.A.S.H.]] unit of the [[LSPD in GTA III Era|Los Santos Police Department]], murdering fellow officer [[Ralph Pendelbury]] to hide their crimes from Internal Affairs, a case that had not been solved. Toreno also explains that he tries to pit bad guys against bad guys but that sometimes good people get hurt or killed, stating that to him Sweet is 'collateral', before sending Carl to [[Las Brujas]], a ghost town. There, speaking through a speaker, Toreno tells him to go to the top of [[Arco del Oeste]] and light a flare, to give a signal to a plane carrying precious cargo. The plane, however, is ambushed by agency helicopters although Carl, having picked up a [[Rocket Launcher|rocket launcher]], destroys the them. The plane with the cargo flies to a small inlet near the abandoned [[Verdant Meadows]] airstrip, with Carl following and [[Interdiction|collecting the package, delivering it back to Las Brujas]].

After learning how to fly, Carl is visited at the airstrip by Toreno, who appears from a hangar and tells Carl that he could have killed him in nine different ways, warning him to be more careful in future. He then explains that he is being watched by 'One DEA. One FBI. A Russian. A Cuban double agent and my paymasters', pointing to the locations of three of them and saying the other two are by satellites. He also asks him to [[Rustler|fly]] to Angel Pine and deliver some supplies to his men, who will dead by nightfall without them, but tells him to fly the plane close to the ground to avoid appearing on the agencies radar, [[N.O.E.|which Carl manages to do and returns to the airstrip]].

Carl returns to the airstrip a short time later and witnesses a large plane landing, thinking that they are Toreno's men. Toreno, however, appears and tells him that they from a rival agency who are planning to give land mines and money to various 'militaristic dictators' in an attempt to help the overseas situation and in return for arms contracts, with Toreno claiming that the deals could start chaos in the Middle East and Latin America. Toreno admits that he is doing the same thing, but cherry picking the dictators so they can control them. Toreno then explains that his boss has given Carl permission to [[Stowaway|sneak on board as the plane is taking off, kill those inside and blow up the plane]], a mission that Carl completes before [[Parachute|parachuting]] to safety.
