Shortly, the three men enter the room and begin their conversation as Fisher was able to conceal himself on top of the lights. After the conversation, Fisher had to race against time and arrive back at the parking garage before Emile returned to the truck.

Trivia

• In this mission, since it's a daytime mission, Fisher is not given his signature Multi-Vision Goggles. Instead, Fisher wears a pair of aviator shades that he can 'activate' and 'deactivate' similar to the way his goggles work. When activated, they will darken the environment making it easier to see for the player.
• If the player chooses to shoot and kill Hisham, the mission ends and will not have access to the extra sections of the mission where Fisher attempts to rescue Hisham from the palace guards.
• The explosive mines the player manufactured for Enrica Villablanca in the second JBA HQ mission can be seen in one of the sections.
