Vic and Diaz had spent hours testing the Hunter to make sure it was in good use before Vic went on to his final mission. Vic later looked at his watch to see that the time now was 12:00 midnight. He had gotten the Hunter on the helipad on the rooftop, and its propeller was whirling and ready for takeoff. Vic and Diaz both watched it.

"Mendez is Downtown!" Diaz told Vic vociferously. "His place is like a fortress, but this baby. She'll tear the whole building down!"

"Great!" Vic replied loudly. "When I'm done - we're done. Lance and I will owe you nothing!"

"When you're done, I'm gonna own this town!" Diaz yelled as he watched Vic hop inside the Hunter. "It's the American dream...and it's all because of you Vic. You're a hero..."

"No, I'm an asshole!" Vic told him. "I spent all my time running around, making morons rich while my family fell apart, and the woman I loved and wanted died waiting for me to call!"

"Woman?" Diaz asked. "You need some porn? I just got in some crazy donkey porn. You'll love it. I'll be finished with it by the time you get back!"

"I'm not coming back Diaz," Vic told him, "and I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for me!"

"Woohoo!" Diaz cheered. "Whatever you say tough guy. I'll see you around!"

Diaz chuckled as he headed for the inside of the passage way on the helipad.

Vic shut the overhead windshield of the Hunter down over him and started descending it in the air. He turned on the lights to get a good view through the night as he flew to the direction leading to Downtown.

There were very few cars driving on the roads down below, and the palm trees still remained stiff and stagnant. Vic flew up above the ocean and made his way over the long road of the island down below. He flew higher in the sky and made sure he was high enough the avoid crashing into the building around the city.

Finally, Vic came across the tallest building of Downtown: the Mendez Cartel. It was a tall dark skyscraper which was probably used to keep all the smuggled drugs inside. Vic was determined to take out Diego inside that building as well.

"YEAH!" Vic shouted upon his arrival.

Vic saw that there were plenty of the Mendez goons who were armed with AK-47s on the top floor firing back at the hovering Hunter. Vic wasted no time as he fired missiles with the Hunter towards the building, killing one wave of the Mendez goons.

"Eat this!" Vic shouted. "I'm coming for you, Mendez!"

He turned the Hunter counter-clockwise around the building and fired more missiles to it, killing a second wave of the Mendez goons. He looked around and saw that Diego was nowhere in sight in the building.

"Come on, Mendez, where are you?!" Vic bellowed as he fired more missiles at the building. "What you got to say about that, you mute motherfucker?"

Vic continued flying the Hunter around the building and firing missiles into the Mendez goons, as well as destroying part of the building. After a minute and thirty, however, one of the goons was armed with a rocket launcher and fired at the Hunter with a missile. A direct hit!

"Oh, shit!" Vic cried out as the Hunter caught on fire after the missile's impact against it.

He quickly flew over to the rooftop and hopped out about ten feet below the rooftop's surface just in time to avoid the subsequent explosion. Vic continued his mission and made it to the stairwell up ahead.

On his search for Diego, Vic encountered multiple guards who fired at him and quickly dodged the bullets. He used the walls and plants as cover and returned the fire at the guards, killing them one by one.
