At an unknown time Gonzalez and [[Juan Cortez|Colonel Juan Cortez]] became friends and allies, both gaining entry and diplomatic immunity to the [[United States]], both settling in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], with Gonzalez moving to the city first. Gonzalez becomes Cortez's right hand, although in [[1984]] he is shown to be stealing some of Cortez' cocaine to make a small profit for himself. He later allies himself with [[Victor Vance]], after testing him through a game a golf, asking Victor to [[Purple Haze|transport]] some cocaine, which was almost stolen by others looking for a profit.

He later blackmails Gonzalez into giving him secrets about Cortez' drug shipments, as Diaz plans on becoming the city's drug baron, and in return he agrees to spare his life. Gonzalez later manages to flee the city, catching a flight from [[Escobar International Airport]], although he is attacked by the [[Sharks]].


In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], it is revealed that Gonzalez steals some of Cortez's cocaine to make a side profit. He also judges a man by the way that he plays golf. [[Victor Vance|Vic]] works directly for Gonzalez briefly, but Gonzalez cuts off his relationship with Vic after a large amount of cocaine he stole from Cortez was almost stolen by others. After Gonzalez has some hairy encounters with drug baron [[Ricardo Diaz]], Diaz blackmails him: Gonzalez must tell him about all of Cortez's shipments going down in Vice City, and in return, Diaz will keep quiet about Gonzalez's thievery of Cortez's coke. After allying with Diaz, Gonzalez leaves town via the airport and is attacked by the [[Sharks]] en route. The reason for the Sharks attack is unknown, but it is suggested that Gonzalez was in a heavy battle for mass amounts of drugs against the Sharks.
===Return to Vice City===
By 1986 in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], Gonzalez spends time at his penthouse in [[Vice Point]], north of the [[Malibu Club]]. In the mission [[Treacherous Swine]], Cortez reveals that Gonzalez's loose lips was how people knew about the deal. Cortez orders Tommy to kill Gonzalez for being incompetent. Tommy Vercetti "visits" him at his penthouse and in a bid for help, Gonzalez runs for the police station but is killed by Mr Vercetti.
At some point between 1984 and 1986 Gonzalez moves back to the city alongside Cortez. The [[VCPD in GTA III Era|Vice City Police Department]] (VCPD), already aware of his former underground work, see him as a way to learn more about Cortez' operation, and are suspicious of his relations with Diaz. He later informs Ricardo Diaz of a planned drug deal between the [[Vance Crime Family]] and the [[Forelli Family]], which is ambushed by [[Diaz's Gang|Diaz' men]]. Cortez, seemingly aware of Gonzalez' treachery, begins to look into the ambushed drug deal, that he had helped to set up, and looks closely at Gonzalez, who is also disliked by his daughter [[Mercedes Cortez|Mercedes]]. Cortez discovers his secret business relationship with Diaz, even openly suggesting to [[Tommy Vercetti]] that Diaz may have been involved in the ambushed drug deal, although he does not accuse Diaz. Cortez has the 'incompetant' Gonzalez [[Treacherous Swine|killed]] by Vercetti, who had been present at the ambushed drug deal. Gonzalez was killed whilst fleeing his penthouse in [[Vice Point]]. His killing attracts the attention of the VCPD, due to Gonzalez having diplomatic immunity, although Tommy escapes.
