With sweeping views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay, this is one of the most beautiful areas in San Francisco.
Don’t take too much time admiring the scenery, you’re working for “Scarface” and he expects results, and punks who fail end up sleeping with the fishes.

The mission: Your story in San Francisco
You’re no punk, you’re smart. You know your way around Aquatic Park. The Boss tapped you, wheels turned, bribes got made, arms got twisted.
You’re a gunsel, coat collars up and fog swirling around lamp posts, waiting for a guy with a package, and a list.
