So, it's time for a speculation. Lets say someone important to you is captured and being held by well trained Mercenaries. You can hire four Rockstar Protagonists to carry out the mission of returning this individual to you safely, who would you hire?

The Situation:

The VIP has been taken by well trained mercenaries and is being held in a well fortified location deep in the mountains of New Austin. The grounds are patrolled carefully, and the roads are monitored by well trained guards armed with military grade equipment.

Once these patrols are either evaded, or eliminated a large perimeter wall encases the building where the VIP is being held. On the wall are snipers who are capable of picking off targets quickly. To assemble your team you'll need to choose wisely.

John Marston:

For me John is an instant must. He's smart, cunning, one of the best gunmen that Rockstar Games has ever created and he's dealt with hostage situations before. I would entrust him with leading the team in. Plus New Austin is familiar territory for him and since he knows the landscape I would think he'd be able to lead the team past the patrols

Niko Bellic:

Remember all those missions where Niko was situated on a building and had to snipe targets? That is where I would want Niko. Hidden away, removing the snipers and any other significant threats with a sniper rifle. Not only that if you needed a pilot he'd be my first choice to fly everyone out

Franklin Clinton:

Franklin would be the obvious getaway driver in this situation as he is the best with vehicles in my opinion.

Cole Phelps:

This one may be out of left field, and also may invalidate my claim as he technically wasn't developed by Rockstar, but I will include him anyways. Cole is probably the most intelligent of the group. An ideal investigator and interrogator. Say they move the VIP off site I would trust Cole to be able to interrogate any potential prisoners and be able to develop ideas on where the target is being taken.

Would they work together?

Honestly I think so. Niko and John share similar world views and beliefs and I think they'd work well with each other, Franklin is self-driven, young, and talented as such I think he'd impress the others. The only weak link would be Cole and the rest of the team. I think Cole would have to set aside his unyielding nature of upholding the law to save the VIP.
