'''Roman's Holiday''' is a mission in [[The Lost and Damned]]. It is given by [[Ashley Butler]] to [[Johnny Klebitz]].


In the mission you must drive to Malc's location. You both then get into his car. At this point you must drive to the hardware store where Roman gambles. A cutscene then begins which shows you and Malc putting Roman in the back of your car. Now you need to drive to the warehouse in Bohan and drop Roman off. If you completely stop the car for any reason, such as hitting an object that won't give (like those wooden telephone poles), Roman will pop out of the backseat and attempt to run off. Fortunately he runs very slow and falls a lot. Target his head with a weapon to scare him back into the car.

Alternatively you can dial the number of Roman's Taxi firm (555-2222) and he will come to Johnny and Malc in his car which will save you the journey over to the hardware store in Broker. This also makes the drive over to the warehouse easier as it is less likely that Roman will escape from the car.

Note

  • A common place for this mission to go pear-shaped (at least for those not following walkthroughs like this) is at the Dukes Bay Bridge toll plaza. The player will likely automatically stop to pay the toll, allowing Roman to get out. The problem is the traffic is scripted to box Johnny in, making it difficult to turn around and get after Roman (especially if Johnny enters the toll booth in front of the bus). Running through the booth and dealing with the single-star wanted level is an easier alternative. If you want to play through the mission including chasing down Roman, stop the car at some point before arriving at the toll booth.
