A Desperate Report

**Page 16**

The night had fallen, casting a shroud of darkness over the turf of the Philippine Death Gang. In a hidden corner, one member of the 5th Division, burdened with the knowledge of the sinister plan revealed in the Diablo gang's meeting, found himself unable to locate Josh or Mark. With Roxanne's safety at stake, he knew he had no choice but to report the information to the gang's leader.

Summoning his courage, he made his way to the Philippine Death Gang's headquarters, where the venerable gang leader, Emanuel Meneses, awaited. The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was tense as the division member recounted the details of the meeting he had infiltrated.

**Division Member:** *(anxious)* Sir, I've got critical information about the Diablo gang's plan. They intend to kidnap Roxanne and use her as bait to lure us into a trap.

Emanuel Meneses leaned forward, his expression grave.

**Emanuel Meneses:** *(concerned)* When did this meeting take place?

The division member hesitated for a moment, trying to recall the specifics.

**Division Member:** *(thoughtful)* It was last night, sir, in Maderan Covered Court.

Emanuel Meneses wasted no time. He immediately reached for his phone and dialed Josh's number. With each ring, his worry deepened.

**Josh Cruz:** *(on the phone)* Hello?

**Emanuel Meneses:** *(urgent)* Josh, it's Emanuel. We've received information that the Diablo gang plans to kidnap Roxanne and use her as bait.

Josh's heart raced as he listened to the report, his mind racing with the implications of the news.

**Josh Cruz:** *(concerned)* How did they get this information?

**Emanuel Meneses:** *(serious)* One of your division members infiltrated their meeting and reported it to us. But, Josh, we need to act quickly.

Josh's voice trembled with anxiety.

**Josh Cruz:** *(determined)* We can't let them harm Roxanne. I'm on my way.

As Josh hastily gathered his division members and formulated a plan to rescue Roxanne, little did he know that time was not on their side. In the dark corners of the city, the Diablo gang had already set their dangerous plot into motion, and Roxanne had been taken captive.

The fate of Roxanne now hung in the balance, and the tension between the rival gangs had reached its breaking point. Josh and the 5th Division were racing against the clock, driven by their determination to save her and protect their turf from the looming threat of the Diablo gang's trap.
