## Overview

A grateful Donnie takes Lin to meet Joseph Price and William Sharp at Price's Mansion, while Playa eavesdrops from outside the window. After a short conversation, Donnie lets slip of a raid on a convoy the Westside Rollerz are planning later that day.

After Playa manages to successfully defend all three Delivery Trucks, Joseph Price and William Sharp discuss the 3rd Street Saints. Donnie yet again lets slip of a group of buyers from overseas, before assuring Price and Sharp that he and Lin will find a way to find some parts.

*Hey, anything I can do to help.*— Lin
### Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available on the 'Story' page, accessed from the 'INFO' tab of the pause menu.

Spying on a meeting between the leaders of the Rollerz, William Sharp and his nephew Joseph Price, you overheard that they were planning to hijack several delivery trucks loaded with car parts. Seeing a good opportunity to mess up their plans, you intercepted the Westside Rollerz and stopped them from hijacking the trucks, getting the 3rd Street Saints some notoriety in the process. You've made things harder for the Rollerz, but they don't give up that easily...
## Gameplay

Being the second third of the Westside Rollerz story arc, the missions begin to increase in difficulty.

Stop the Rollerz from hitting the convoy.
The objective is to protect a convoy - three trucks in three different districts - from a small onslaught of Westside Rollerz gang members. Begin the mission by stealing a vehicle and driving to the first truck nearby, in the Suburbs District.

Protect the first truck.
Two enemy vehicles must be destroyed.

Truck defended.
After protecting the first truck, drive south along the freeway.

Protect the second truck.
The second truck is north of the Ultor Dome in the Arena District. Here, the same rules apply: kill any opposing gang member that is trying to kill Playa or the truck.

Truck defended.
The final truck is in the Sommerset neighborhood in the Apartments District. The GPS route to this truck passes a Forgive and Forget, which can be used.

Protect the third truck.
The final truck is stationary, making it easier to defend. Simply kill the nearby gang members to finish the mission.

Failure
The mission can be failed by getting smoked or busted, or letting the damage meter of any of the three trucks reach below 0.5, which results in the Rollerz have hijacking the truck.

While there are game failure conditions for the driver being killed, hijacking the truck instead of defending it, and the truck being destroyed, these are not possible to trigger, as the driver is invulnerable, the truck is unjackable, and destroying the truck triggers the failure state of the Rollerz have hijacking the truck. There is an additional game failure string for the driver abandoning the truck, but this string is not used in the mission script.

## Rewards

* Cash: $1,500
* Respect: None
* Mission: One Step Ahead

## Trivia

* This is the first time "the buyers" are mentioned, described as "a bunch of guys overseas". They are referred to as a "loose end" by Julius Little upon completion of the final Westside Rollerz mission, but they are never revealed in-game.
	+ 14 years after the game's release, *Saints Row* writer Steve Jaros stated on twitter that Akuji is the buyer.
* Donnie refers to the 3rd Street Saints as the "Fifth Street Alter Boys".
