Walkthrough
V starts out fixing their broken nose at the El Coyote Coho bar located in Heywood. Pepe, the bartender, tells V that he hasn't paid his debt to a new Fixer in town. In exchange for forgiving V's bar tab, Pepe asks V if they can talk to the Fixer to either forget about the debt or settle it once and for all.

V goes to the Fixer and an argument breaks out, but a deal is settled. The Fixer tasks V into stealing Rayfield Aerondight S9 owned by a corporate from Arasaka. If V is able to accomplish the goal, the Fixer says he will forget about the debt Pepe owes him. V agrees to the deal and heads over to the Westbrook where the car is located. Along the way, V hitches a ride with Padre, a friend and local honcho.

V's informant from the Fixer, Kirk Sawyer, gives them a device that can unlock the car and turn it on. Before V can drive off, they are surprised by Padre's driver: Jackie Welles. Jackie had heard V boasting about stealing the Rayfield to Padre, and decided he could make a quick profit by butting in and taking the car himself. V and Jackie are interrupted by the sudden arrival of NCPD and Inspector Stints, who capture them. Stints grew up with Jackie and has a speech on how little he has changed. He then starts criticizing V on their life choices and how much of a failure they are. Before taking them in, the Arasaka corporate, Kaoru Fujioka, who originally bugged the car comes to see the commotion. He uses his corporate reputation to order Stints to kill them and dump the bodies in the river. The officers beat up V and Jackie, but decide to leave them in the alley since they dislike the corporates as much as everyone else.

The two wake up in the ally ending the questline leading into a montage of them doing jobs together.
