Events ofGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
After adeadly shoot-out with the rivalBallas gang under theMulholland Intersection inLos Santos,Carl Johnson is arrested byC.R.A.S.H. officersFrank Tenpenny andEddie Pulaski and dragged out to the remote town of Angel Pine in Whetstone. Here, Tenpenny and Pulaski use the recent incarceration of Carl's brotherSweet as leverage to force him to manage their out-of-town dealings, such as murdering witnesses to their extensive corruption. With little time to recuperate from the events in Los Santos, Carl finds himself in a strange new place, with no ammunition, and only acamera andorders to kill a man holed up in a cabin in nearby Mount Chiliad.
Carl quickly locates the cabin, which is heavily guarded byFBI agents, and lures the witness out. As the witness attempts to escape bycar, Carl chases him down the mountain and kills him, making sure to photograph the "evidence" that he will no longer be talking. Carl then returns the evidence to Angel Pine for Tenpenny and Pulaski to pick up.
