I'll Take Her... is the first of four missions involving the kidnapping of Gracie Ancelotti in Grand Theft Auto IV for Gerald McReary and the Irish Mob.

Description

Niko arrives at the the Alderney State Correctional Facility where Gerry is being held on various charges. After a short conversation, Niko recieves a call from Patrick McReary, Packie explains that they're going to kidnap Old Man Ancelotti's daughter.

Niko drives to an TW@ Internet Café and views an ad by Gracie on Autoeroticar.com, who is selling her pink Feltzer. Niko calls Gracie using her contact info on the website, who will only answer between 8.00 and 21.00, so depending on when Niko obtains her phone number he may be left to his own devices for a while (a good time to stock up on ammo, armor, or sleep). Gracie tells Niko to come to her place on Babbage Drive in Alderney and test drive the car.

Niko makes his way to Gracie's place, after some light conversation and test driving, Niko initiates the kidnapping and starts heading towards a safehouse the Irish Mob had set up. During the drive after Gracie is aware whats happening, she attempts various things such as, calling her father, clawing at Niko, grabbing the wheel of the car, trying to bail out of the car, or calling for help if a police cruiser is nearby. All of these are unsuccessful as Niko throws her cell phone out of the car, manages to continue driving despite her actions, keeps her from escaping, and then finally knocks her out. (The most dangerous of her actions is her causing Niko to lose control of the car; if Niko follows the GPS, the route takes him onto the Plumbers Skyway where flipping the car or even flying off the freeway is a very real danger; a better plan is to stick to the surface streets if possible.)

When Niko pulls into the alley and to the back door of the safehouse Irish Mob member Gordon Sargent takes Gracie upstairs, while assosiate Stevie gets rid of Gracie's pink Feltzer.

This mission continues as ...I'll Take Her, and once again, it is possible to complete other missions in between.

Hint

Remember where Gracie's house is located. Later, when she becomes a random character, you'll need to remember where it is in order to trigger the sub-mission as it won't be marked with the usual "pegman" icon.

Trivia

• It is possible that the man, driving away in Gracie's Feltzer during the mission-end cutscene, is in fact Stevie, Brucie's friend who text-messages you to steal cars (Stevie's Car Thefts). As he drives away Gordon says his name is Stevie. You can kill him, but he'll be back.
• If you pass a police vehicle Gracie will stand up and call for help, earning you a wanted level. (This doesn't seem to happen 100% of the time, however.)
• The name "Seymour Fani" on the whiteboard behind Gerry, is a play on 'see more fanny'.
• The first three digits in Gracie's phone number (662) translates to "MOB".

Tip

• About every five seconds, Gracie will either take the wheel or try to climb out of the car, so slowly count to five before slowing the car down to keep it from flipping over.
