Your primary directive is to raid the house and kill both Mariano and Paul Massoli. You are provided a layout of the mansion as well as the photographs of the mafia wiseguys.

Unless you engage in a prolonged firefight, the police should not be a factor; however, if they become involved, police casualties are to be avoided at all costs. Your final secondary objective is to plant the body of Alwan Rhys, a soldier from a Jamaican posse attempting to become a player in the criminal underworld. Planting his body should help confuse the blame for this hit and possibly result in retaliations against the Jamaican posses. Naturally, we want the body as fresh as possible, so you will have to execute him on site. Leave none of your own behind as evidence. As always, you are expendable. Results The Death Dealers succeeded in slaying the Massoli crime bosses as well as planting Alwan Rhys' body. Unfortunately, they left call girl, Sally Willis, alive as a witness who told everyone it was an Asian man, not the Jamaicans who killed the Massolis.
