    The first time this achievement can be earned is in The fallen Idol mission on the Traffic Desk

    As your finishing your visit to the Hospital a short cut scene will play showing June leaving with her lawyer. The Dectectives decide to follow her to see where she goes.

    Things to note:
    If the icon starts to fade you're to far away.
    If the icon starts flashing you're to close.
    Also don't use the siren
    Try to avoid crashing into cars

    Once you've followed her around for a short time, she'll come to a stop outside a cafe and go inside. Cole will jump out the car. What your want to do before going in is use cn_RB to take cover by the door so you can see in. Once the person in front of June has hung up, wait until she turns to use the phone, at this moment press cn_RB again and walk inside, the second booth on the left has a newspaper on it, press cn_A to interact with it. Cole will sit down and listen in on the conversation. After she's finished the call wait for her to leave first before getting up from the booth. Your be given your next objective and the achievement.

    SweetArkhaneYou can do this earlier, in the first mission of the Traffic Desk if you fail the interview with Frank Morgan, you will have to follow him.

    SweetArkhaneWell, it implies you fail at something, so I hope a guide book wouldn't lead you to a failure^^

    ThronedFiddle75This achievement seems to be bugged. I was caught immediately upon sitting down in the café during this mission and it popped instantly.

    NevrSurrenderI did go through this and failed the first time, succeeded the second time and got the next objective, didn't pop. Do I need to replay?

    svenmx1I was afraid that this one is super tough. Actually it's super easy. I played it on June 23. First you have to tail the car, it doesn't affect the achievement when you fail. just wait for the fail screen and do it again. As soon as you stop at the boardwalk, that's your new save point. Again failure doesn't matter. Simply standby the door and then sat in the booth. As soon as you pickup the newspaper the achievement unlocks. I played the German version of the game on easy. Hope this update helps.
