Americana Diner Stick-Up
The definitive opening armed robbery pairing Jason and Lucia. Enter the roadside diner, manage crowd intimidation, clear the cash registers, and break through the arriving police cordon.
The Americana Diner Stick-Up is completed by entering through the front entrance, immediately aiming at the diner clerk to accelerate cash bag filling, assigning Jason to intimidate seating patrons with melee warnings, and escaping via the rear kitchen alleyway into your pre-positioned getaway car before the 2-star Kelly County patrol sets up road spikes.

Vic Duval's Field Notes
Shooting the security camera above the cash desk prevents local detectives from broadcasting your license plate.
Do not harm non-hostile patrons, as this immediately raises the wanted level from 2 to 3 stars.
