Walkthrough

 * 1) Speak to Captain Parker at the Aerotech office park.
 * 2) Head to Westside and talk to Saint James, the compass points to him.
 * 3) Enter the Casa Madrid Apartments to locate the evidence. Dermot's room contains a ledger, on a table near the fridge. Then enter Saint James' room for the teddy bear evidence, you can pick the lock or get a key from Sweetie (pay caps, pickpocket or have Lady Killer).
 * 4) (Optional) If you confront either Saint James or Dermot by talking to them, they will attack you. Saint James uses a power fist and Dermot has a 9mm SMG.
 * 5) (Optional) If you choose to kill Dermot and Saint James, you may also choose to talk to Pretty Sarah and explain what the pair were exactly up to. She will reward you with 4 Med-X.
 * 6) Head back to Captain Parker for your reward: 250 XP and 150 caps.

Behind the scenes

 * Coyotes are the name for smugglers who facilitate the migration of people across the U.S. border.

Bugs

 * After accepting this quest, the quest marker on the compass points towards a location that is impossible to reach, making it impossible to speak to Saint James.
 * In both Stage 4 and 5 in some games its impossible to turn in the quest to Parker. Sometimes finishing the conversation and starting a new one will trigger the correct response. If you find it impossible to turn in the quest on the PC selecting Captain Parker with the console open and typing or  will enable the correct conversation choices. On a console, if the conversation option doesn't turn up to finish the quest, simply change outfits to 'gang' related outfit, and then talk to him. Usually changing people's opinions about you restarts conversation loops. On the PC, the quest-concluding conversation option appears after entering and exiting conversation with Parker twice and then initiating conversation for a third time.
 * After completing Three Card Bounty, St. James and Dermott both dissapeared from Westside, as well the evidence was not in their rooms. Being unable to reach the marker shown for The Coyotes quest, I searched in the sewers. Located Sweetie dead, but no sign of others. Quest cannot be completed as a result. (Unclear)

clarification: If you complete Three Card Bounty, before Coyotes, the quest cannot be completed. Both St. James and Dermott both dissapear from their standard location as well all evidence is gone. The quest marker moves to a location that cannot be reached either above ground or below in the sewers. (Various characters are sometimes found dead in the area as it's the fiend controlled sewers. Closest entrance near the cropfarmers, where the marker appears on your pip-boy.) Without the evidence the quest cannot be completed.
 * This quest may be completed after Three Card Bounty. It is unknown if the quest was patched or if it is impossible to complete for some player. (Unclear)
