The Highwayman

The Highwayman is a hidden side job found in the game world by V in .
==Walkthrough==
To begin this side job, first, head over to Rancho Coronado East and travel up the street to the Gun-O-Rama gun shop. Around the back you'll find an accessible garage with a decal of a ghost horse to the left of it.
Alternatively, the quest can be started by finding Josie's body and reading the shard, "Bad news". In this case, the first objective will be to find the garage.
Once inside, V and Johnny will comment on the scrapped Brennan found inside. To officially start the side job, access the terminal on the opposite side of the garage. After reading the data stored, exit the terminal and V will pick up the photo of James Ito and Josie Alcazar resting next to it. This prompts V and Johnny to look for James to find out more about their situation.
To find James, travel to Japantown West and head south along the waterfront four lane road. There will be a plaza on the east side of the road after Holly Street with a 24/7 stand. James is sitting on the same bench in the photo, in front of the 24/7 stand. Talking to him will begin your investigation into what happened to Josie. 
To find out what happened to Josie, head to Metro: Ebunike on the map. From the metro, with your scanner active, you will pick up a dried blood splatter on the ground. Following the blood splatters, past the Drop Point, on your right is an alleyway; and behind a dumpster, Josie's body.
There will be a shard labelled "Bad news" which details Josie's cause of death as well as information on the location of the bike she stole from a Tyger Claw boss. After having an exchange with Johnny, it's time to return to James in Japantown and confront him about what you've discovered. What happens to James after confronting him is up to you. After the confrontation, you will need to find the Tyger Claw boss's bike in order to complete the job.
The shard found on Josie's body mentions it being stowed on Maelstrom turf by All Foods. This will send you to the All Foods Factory in the Northside of Watson. Across street from the travel point, you'll see the "ghost horse" that Josie also mentioned in the shard. The bike is in the nearby garage. Punch in the date that James and Josie met (0214) into the keypad next to the garage and it will open.

==Journal Entry==
:Another mystery, another missing person in Night City. Used to be the cops would put out a search for people like her. Today, her fate's in your hands.
:That chick, Josie, wrote something about a garage, didn't she? Somewhere near the dam. Not like it's any of my biz, but if I were you, I'd go check it out. Something tells me it'll give you a boost in the right direction. A sixth sense, shall we say. On the other hand, I am basically dead, which would mean I don't think, so don't hold me to that.
:There's a still of some young guy in the garage - the heartbreaker type. Emails on the computer are from a certain James - don't have to be a genius to connect the dots. Might be worth looking for our Romeo - especially in Japantown. Got a feeling the still was snapped there. Wouldn't surprise me - kids go on dates there all the time. Shit... it always starts off so cute, doesn't it? Rarely ever ends that way.
:James said that when things got dicey, the chick hopped onto the subway – red line headed south. Maybe she went all the way to the last station... Or maybe she got off somewhere in Heywood – easier to lay low there, disappear. I know how it sounds – had to pull the same move more than once back in my day.
:Josie... Pretty name. Cute girl. Ugly end. This Tyger from the still... better have a word with him, V. Can't let slide what he did to this poor girl.
:Josie hid the Tyger boss's bike somewhere in the city, near the All Foods factory in Maelstrom turf. Said to look for a "ghost horse." All right then... Think of it like a scavenger hunt, though not the kind fixers in Night City usually pay you for.

==Associated Shards==
==Notes==
*Originally, the A Visitor's Guide to Night City included with the Collector's Edition was required to solve the quest. This idea was eventually scrapped, as it didn't pan out as planned.
**The jobs is not explicitly labelled on the map because of this reason.
*When confronting James, the first dialogue choice, "So you had a choice...", results in a peaceful resolution but the second causes him to attack. It is up to you whether to avenge Josie or let him live with his guilt.
*James and Josie's graffiti will disappear from the bench once you have acquired Josie's bike. James will also never appear again at the bench, despite his claims that he returns to the bench "night after night".
*Unlike many other quests, the steps can be done out of order. James can be confronted for the first time after having already discovered Josie's body, allowing the player to go straight into the dialogue choices to avenge Josie. Alternatively, the player can simply unlock the garage holding the Itsumade without discovering Josie's body or confronting James, skipping the entire quest.
*This quest is one of the few cases where the vehicle you enter is not the same vehicle that you will be able to summon. There are two different instances of the bike. Another such case is the car from Sex On Wheels.
==Trivia==
*The Highwayman is a poem by Alfred Noyes published in 1906, with a story arc closely tied to the themes of the quest. The last two stanzas include imagery of a ghostly horse and rider.
