Firstly I think that you could make it more dramatic mate. Say some kids just gotten off his motorbike to go into a shop (show it in the cutscene) then you get on his bike and begin driving out of town. Then narration comes over, which is actually the character thinking to himself. Saying that he's got to get to the shed at some place, where he's got a little stash of money, weapons, a vehicle, passports, new clothes and the like. So he makes it there without getting seen by locals or roaming cops. He gets his shit together.
Now, instead of going for the obvious direction where you must kill the man that has accidentaly framed you, to clear your name. You've just got to escape the cops who are after you, and the sniper who's trying to finish you off, just in-case you kill him first.
You should never clear your name though. Just make it you take out what cops you can, and this sniper and his little posse, and make it to the docks at the other end of the island or something. You sail to a small island off the coast of france or something, just pick an island someone has already made. And begin your life.
Sorry I kind of gave you a new story. The original one's a good idea (similar to something i talked to you about before) but just didn't seem to have enough in it.
