Tips
- Build respect first. You need moderate respect for the zaibatsu before this phone rings, so work other jobs for that gang if the call never comes.
- Save before you start. Phone and vehicle jobs in GTA 2 lock you in until you pass or fail, so a fresh save makes retrying painless.
- Protect the vehicle or NPC the mission depends on — losing it fails the job even if you are still alive.
