+Tommy Vercetti goes to [[Café Robina]] and meets Umberto Robina, who has started an open gang war with the [[Haitians]], sending his men to attack their [[Haitian Drugs Factory|drug factory]] in [[Little Haiti]]. The factory, however, is proving impregnable and so Umberto sends Vercetti to drive some new Cuban gangsters to the scene and help the steal the Haitian's van loaded with a drugs shipment. Vercetti leaves the café and finds a four doored vehicle and returns to collect three Cubans before driving to [[The Well Stacked Pizza Co.]] store opposite an alleyway leading to the factory, dropping off the Cubans and meeting [[Rico]].

Vercetti, now joined by three more Cubans, kills the sniper and enters the factory walls, killing all the Haitians he meets. Vercetti and Rico then get into the Haitian [[Pony|van]] and drive it back to the café while evading the [[VCPD in GTA III Era|VCPD]]'s [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era#Two stars|wrath]].
-===Brief===
-Umberto has gone out in a battle with the [[Haitians]], however, his assault on their drug plant didn't go so well, so he and his men were severely injured. Now Umberto wants you to drive some new soldiers to the battle zone in [[Little Haiti]] and help them steal the Haitians' van loaded with a shipment of drugs.
-===The Mission===
-Get a car which can hold four people, any car, it can be a crummy one since you won't use it again in this mission. When you have the car, drive back to the Café and some [[Cubans]] will get in, now drive them to the war zone across the Little Haiti central of [[Well Stacked Pizza]] and drop them off.
-Now the war begins. You will be in an alley way, at the opposite end of the alley is a group of Haitian soldiers. Get a gun and start killing them off, some more soldiers will show up, so kill them too, when they're all dead you will move alng the alley and a sniper will shoot three Cubans dead. Three more men will arrive in a cab and will start moving forward, so you wil have to kill the sniper before he kills the Cubans. Once the sniper is dead, start shooting at the Haitians that will start moving in, when they're all dead, you will move down an alleyway.
-Now you're in a huge open space with at least ten Haitians there, shoot them all dead and get into the drug van with [[Rico]]. Now start driving, get out through the way you came in and run over the three Haitian guards waiting at the exit, then drive out into the street. Thanks to all the shooting you did, you will now have a two star wanted level and cops will be after you. Avoid them as fast as you can and drive the van to the Café. Mission accomplished.
