Beverly calls Franklin, informing him about an ongoing police chase between the LSPD and Poppy Mitchell. When Beverly called, Franklin was just around the area, so he immediately pursued the LSPD cop car and Poppy Mitchell.
Franklin follows both cars as they sprint through town and incoming traffic. Poppy Mitchell’s erratic driving behavior is DUI or driving under the influence. Nevertheless, Franklin stays close to Poppy while avoiding the LSPD’s field of view.
The trio’s high-speed chase through Vinewood Hills and Downtown Los Santos stops at Alta when Poppy swerves off the road and crashes into a tree. Franklin immediately pulls out his mobile phone and takes a picture of a drunk and disoriented Poppy Mitchell while the LSPD officer puts her in handcuffs.
With the photo secured, Franklin sends a copy to Beverly, who thanks Franklin for his efforts. Franklin leaves the area, ending the mission.
