When the mission begins, you will be placed in a pre-selected vehicle. The mission marker will show up on your screen as well as the minimap. Your goal is to get to the drop-off location within the time limit. The time limit is usually two minutes.

As you make your way to the drop-off location, you will see circles on your minimap to indicate where the police are. Your goal is to avoid the areas where the police are. If you don’t, they will start chasing you, and you will have to deal with them as you make your way to the drop location. Don’t worry; you can sideswipe the cops and use nitrous to escape them. If you reach the drop-off location with the cops still on your tail, you will need to take them out to complete the mission.
