Piggies in the Middle

**Piggies in the Middle** is the twenty-first mission in Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. This mission returns the player back to the Grant.

## Overview

The player needs to use tactics and move carefully. Putting the US Calvalry and El Diablo's men to fight each other by letting them spot you and quicky hide, so when they walked to find you, they spotted the other faction instead.

## Story

After learning Kate and Doc have been captured, John and the group rushed to the Grant. Arriving at the Grant, they found multiple shootouts broke out between the US Calvalry and El Diablo's men. John asked Mia if she knew where the bandits kept Doc and Kate. She told John that the bandits kept them on the train.

As it was difficult to rescue Doc and Kate from the train, John decided that it is better off that they smuggled themselves onto the train. This way, the train also takes them to El Diablo's hideout. However, one problem remained, there was no way they could sneak pass the US Calvalry and El Diablo's men. As such, John came up with a plan to play the groups against each other.

John and the group managed to smuggle themselves onto the train and rode to their next locations.
