Planning the Operation

**Page 12**

The sun had risen on a new day, and Josh and Mark, now officially the Captain and Vice Captain of the 5th Division, assembled their members to discuss their plans for the turf. The members gathered, eager to receive guidance from their newly appointed leaders.

**Josh Cruz:** *(authoritative)* Alright, everyone, first of all, I want to thank you for your trust in me and Mark as your new leaders. We're going to work together to make our division strong and our turf secure.

The division members nodded in agreement, showing their support for their new leadership.

**Mark Vicente:** *(determined)* That's right. We may be new to these positions, but together, we'll make our mark.

After the assembly, Josh and Mark retreated to their office, eager to discuss their first project as official officers.

**Josh Cruz:** *(thoughtful)* So, Mark, what do you think should be our first project?

Mark scratched his head, deep in thought.

**Mark Vicente:** *(pensive)* Honestly, I'm not sure. This is our first time as officers, and we need to make a statement.

Josh leaned back in his chair, pondering the situation. Then, an idea struck him.

**Josh Cruz:** *(inspired)* I've got an idea, Mark. How about we start by taking out some of the smaller hideouts the Diablo gang uses? It'll disrupt their operations and send a message.

Mark's eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

**Mark Vicente:** *(enthusiastic)* I like that idea, Josh. But how do we even find these hideouts? We don't have any intel.

Josh leaned forward, his expression determined.

**Josh Cruz:** *(confident)* That's where our resourcefulness comes in, Mark. We'll arrange a meeting tomorrow with our division members. I'll ask them to disguise themselves and gather information discreetly.

Mark nodded in agreement.

**Mark Vicente:** *(supportive)* Sounds like a plan. Let's see what we can uncover about the Diablo's hideouts.

With their project taking shape, Josh and Mark prepared to put their plan into action. They knew that intelligence would be crucial in their efforts to disrupt the Diablo gang's activities and protect their turf. As they left their office, they were filled with a sense of purpose and determination, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead and make their division a force to be reckoned with in the Philippine Death Gang.
