Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough

Meet Vlad at the bar he hangs out on over on Mohawk Street (it's across the street from the safe house). Once you're in there, you'll see some interesting scenes with a really, really drunk guy named Mel. But that's not important (other then that it's humorous). What is important, however, is the subsequent conversation you have with Vlad. Vlad, even though he talks incessant amounts of crap to you, actually seems to like you, and he trusts you enough to send you out on some missions. The first one deals with an older guy who owns a china shop, and owes Vlad some cash. He asks you not to hurt him, but to get his money. And then he offers you a baseball bat. Perhaps Vlad should lay off the coke?

Head outside and jack a car. Then, begin to head over to the china shop per Vlad's request. Naturally, the GPS will take you there, and it's not too far away either, so don't expect an epic cross-city drive. You'll be there in no time. When you arrive, get out of your car and head on in. You'll find the owner of the establishment, who immediately acts belligerent. Remember, though -- Vlad told you not to hurt him, so don't! Instead, mess up his establishment. We pulled a pistol out and shot one of his storefront windows out. Attempt that or something similar to scare him into paying.

Once the store owner gets scared enough to choke up the money, Niko will call Vlad up on the phone and let him know about his success. He'll then be ordered back to the bar to give up the money. The GPS will, once again, get you to your location easily. Once back at the bar (remember, it's across from your safehouse), you can get out of the car, enter, watch the finalizing cutscene, and then move on to another one after giving Vlad his cash.
