Big Smoke/Sweet & Kendl is the first string of missions in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas started once the player enters the marker outside the Johnson House.

Mission

Big Smoke

Carl Johnson enters his home and finds a picture of his mother, who was recently killed in a drive-by. He then takes a chair and sits while refreshing his memory from the last time they were together. All of a sudden, Big Smoke, a long time friend appears from the kitchen with a Baseball Bat and threatens to attack Carl because his face is unfamiliar at first. Carl "introduces" himself and recognizes Big Smoke the same moment and the two hug each other. Carl talks about how he is sad about his mother's death and wants revenge. The two, walk outside and drive over to the cemetary at Market using Smoke's Perennial for the funeral.

Sweet & Kendl

Upon arriving, Carl's brother Sweet and his sister Kendl are there along with another long time friend, Ryder. Sweet doesn't show a happy welcome committee and an argument between Carl and Sweet engages as Kendl goes away and says she's going to meet her boyfriend, Cesar Vialpando from rival gang Varrios Los Aztecas. After Kendl leaves, Sweet mentions how the Grove Street Families is in disarray, pointing out the resting places of Tony, Big Devil and Little Devil.

The four decide to head for Smoke's car and head back to Grove Street. Right before they enter the car, a Voodoo with Ballas gang members drives past and the Ballas manage to blow up Smoke's car. The team all find a BMX parked on the sidewalk and start heading back to Grove Street while being chased by the Voodoo.

After reaching a parking lot under the Mulholland Intersection, Sweet splits from the group as the Ballas follow him. Carl, Big Smoke and Ryder then cycle back to Grove Street, avoiding the Ballas Voodoo, which eventually trails them through Idlewood and Ganton. After arriving back in Grove Street, Carl announces his intentions to stay and to help the Grove Street Families, before entering the Johnson House.

Reward

The reward for completing this mission is increased respect and the Johnson House is available for use by the player as well as the ability to buy safehouses in areas available for roaming around without police attention. Completing the missions unlocks the Ryder mission.
