No Easy Way Out

No Easy Way Out is a side job in .
==Walkthrough==
This job can be started after completing Spider and the Fly.
Coach Fred will message V with the request to help a fellow boxer named Aaron. V meets with Aaron at the boxing ring near Montezuma's Throne. Aaron needs V's help reaching a particular ripperdoc, Damir Kovac.
Aaron and V decide to meet at 9PM at the Digimmortal exposition in Terra Cognita. Here, Aaron confesses that he is in hot water with the Animals. The gang supported his fighting career but, along with his implants, saddled him with a chip that could be remotely triggered to render him unconscious, thus throwing his matches. Aaron suspects that Angie, a pack-leader of the Animals, is out to get him, which is why he needs Damir to remove the implant.
After the duo make their way inside Digimmortal and have reached Damir, Aaron will undergo a procedure to have the chip implant removed, while V passes time in a nearby chair until the procedure is finished.
After some time passes, and the operation has succeeded, Angie arrives at the clinic while Aaron is still under sedation. She offers V a cut of the winnings if they agree to leave and let Aaron take the fall.
:A few days later, Angie will ask to meet V at the boxing ring in Dogtown, where she will reward them ﻿22,000 eurodollar. Coach Fred will message them, lamenting they couldn't help Aaron.
:
::V can extort Angie for an additional 20% eurodollars.
 
:If V refused to cooperate with Angie, they'll have to fight her and the two Animals accompanying her. If they manage to do so, Aaron and V will be able to leave freely. However, a few days later, Aaron will request that V meets with him at the Dream Gig bar in Dogtown. When V arrives, a server will mention that they spotted Aaron with some Animals in the alley out back. There, V'll find Aaron's dead body near the dumpster. Johnny will appear to speak his mind, and Coach Fred will send a final message to V, concluding the job.
:This option is only available if V defeated Sasquatch during I Walk the Line
:Angie will be intimidated and back off, and Aaron will awake unharmed. If V tells Aaron to throw the fight (or they mention his past), he will throw the fight but later find satisfaction as a coach for kids in Dogtown. If V convinces Aaron to fight, he will lose and travel to Costa Rica where he will attempt for professional fighting career again.
Regardless of choice, V is able to leave Digimmortal safety and will receive 5,000 eurodollars.
==Journal Entry==
:Look, V. This Aaron choom is a big-handed bastard who knows how to handle himself in hot water. Sure, we gotta help each other out and all that, but watch your back. You're about to walk into the lion's den. I know you're all about helping lost souls and walking elderly ladies across the street, but please, PLEASE don't get killed assisting some lesser Dogtown boxer.
