In Wrong is Right, an agent at United Liberty Paper hires Niko Bellic to kill Minkov. When Niko reaches the townhouse Oleg is out, but his laptop holds an email to Vasily setting up a meeting on Tulsa Street in Broker. At the meeting place, Vasily notices Niko watching and warns Oleg, who realizes the man was waiting for him, says goodbye to his friend and flees in his car. Niko chases him down and kills him.
