A Threatening Message

**Page 9**

Mark's urgency was palpable as he delivered the troubling news to Josh.

**Mark:** *(anxious)* Josh, we need to hurry. I have some bad news. The Diablo gang is attacking again, but this time it's in a different barangay, Barangay Kua. We need to get there fast!

Josh's frustration simmered just below the surface as he revved his motorcycle's engine, ready to ride into action once more.

**Josh:** *(determined)* These bastards just won't quit, will they?

Mark nodded, the gravity of the situation sinking in.

**Mark:** *(grave)* It's becoming a routine, Josh, but we can't let them take more of our turf.

As they sped towards Barangay Kua, unaware of the unseen danger that lurked, a group of Diablo gang members had indeed spotted Josh and Roxanne talking earlier. Unbeknownst to Josh and Mark, this had triggered an ominous plan within the Diablo gang, and they were concocting something dangerous.

Back in their hideout, the Diablo leader, Michael, gathered his members, a wicked grin on his face.

**Michael:** *(sinister)* Brothers, we've got a golden opportunity. Our friend Josh seems to have taken a liking to that girl, Roxanne. I've got a plan that'll hit him where it hurts the most.

The gang members exchanged devious glances, intrigued by Michael's sinister intentions.

**Diablo Member 1:** *(curious)* What's the plan, boss?

Michael leaned in, his voice dripping with malevolence.

**Michael:** *(whispering)* We're going to use that girl to get to Josh. It's time he pays for what he's done to us.

As they continued to discuss their malicious scheme, Josh and Mark reached the chaos unfolding in Barangay Kua. The battleground was strewn with debris, and the sounds of battle filled the air.

**Mark:** *(grim)* Here we go again, Josh.

Josh nodded, his eyes scanning the scene for any sign of the Diablo gang. He couldn't help but wonder about Roxanne's safety, unaware that her name had already been dragged into the heart of the gang's dark plans.

Meanwhile, back at their hideout, the Diablo gang had set their dangerous plot into motion. Roxanne, going about her daily routine, was completely unaware of the threat that loomed over her.

The sun hung low in the sky as the rival gangs clashed in Barangay Kua, oblivious to the perilous game of manipulation that was being played behind the scenes. As Josh and Mark fought to defend their turf, they couldn't foresee the dangerous twist that awaited them, one that would test their loyalty, strength, and ultimately, their determination to protect not only their turf but also the people they held dear.
