Burning Down the House

"Burning Down the House" is the fifth mission of the Sons of Samedi story arc in Saints Row 2.
==Overview==
Playa meets Shaundi at a local frat-party and receives a tip from another of Shaundi's ex-boyfriends, Blake, who saw a number of the Sons of Samedi wheeling chemicals in and out of some buildings, concluding that they are drug labs. Playa decides to go and blow up the drug labs while Shaundi stays behind to get high.
Although Playa is successful, their actions inadvertently lead to a massive fire that spreads across Shivington. The General and Mr. Sunshine watch the chaos from a nearby rooftop. The General worries that with the razing of their farm and now these drug labs, he cannot afford to have anything go wrong with the next shipment. With all the trouble they have caused, Mr. Sunshine suggests that it's time to speak with the 3rd Street Saints' leader.
===Story===
==Gameplay==
This mission involves going to four individual locations to destroy the Loa Dust drug labs there. Every time a location is cleared, the Sons of Samedi Notoriety increases, making it tougher to get to the next location.
;
;
The first location is a small building which takes seconds to clear.
;
;
The second location is a much larger building with two floors; the drug lab is on the top floor, which can be reached via a staircase at the right of the building.
;
;
The third location can be driven downwards.
;
One of the drug labs there is behind a locked door - flip the switch to open the door and flush the people inside out.
A Samedi Churchill with four gang members arrives to the third lab after it has been destroyed.
;
;
The fourth final location involves killing a few defenseless lab techs before destroying the final drug lab.
;
;
The final drug lab often explodes due to enemy gunfire.
;
Exit the building at the back to witness the last lab tech try to escape in a vehicle. The game may freeze for a moment after kicking the door open.
Although there is a vehicle parked nearby to encourage a vehicle chase, it is possible to destroy the technician's car with enough firepower.
