Prologue Mission in GTA 5





Prologue is the first mission in GTA 5. It includes Michael De Santa aka Townley and Trevor Philips.


This mission is set in 2004 in North Yankton. Michael and Trevor had been doing a few jobs together before this mission. They planned to rob the Bobcat Security Depot with Brad, when at the same time, Michael had other plans. He made a deal with Dave Norton to kill Trevor and get rid of him while he and his family would get new identities and settle down in Los Santos.





After their car got hit by a train when attempting to make it across the track in a car, they set out on foot to get to the helicopter. Things didn’t go as planned, as Dave ended up shooting and killing Brad instead of Trevor. Michael pretended to be shot too, and Trevor fled the scene. There was a fake funeral for Michael after which he and his family got their new identities and he retired from criminal life, until he met Franklin in 2013.
