In a small restaurant which had the tag closed, a group of men were having a rather heated conversation.
"It's a real shame about John, but I think he deserved it, very idiotic, because he was always quite confident in the way he did business.
The only nice thing about all of this is that no one found out about our involvement in the data theft, so we can say we have an entry point for the industrial city of Strawberry.
We have to work hard to be able to consolidate ourselves effectively. To begin with, we have to enter directly into the South zone as real estate agents.
That will be the best way to legally enter the city and with the help of the information that John sold us we can begin to bring together the group of local criminals who have remained neutral to the rule of the Flanagan family.
However, we have to be very careful in the way we move because it is only enough to have one mistake for everything to get completely out of control.
That is why we must be quite careful when carrying out our actions. If I have learned something throughout my life, it is that we have to let the frog be boiled slowly.
Trying to enter the city of Strawberry will be quite complicated in the traditional way because the Flanagan family is quite powerful to begin with, so we immediately try to enter with weapons.
We will meet FBI agents, so it will be very likely that we will all end up dying, so we can only hope to enter the city slowly and steadily.
However, now the issue that matters most to us is the kidnapping of the governor's daughter."
The man who was speaking drank some wine and looked at everyone seriously.
"The kidnapping of the governor's daughter must be carried out quickly and under no circumstances do we have to delay this matter any longer than we have to.
It is important to know that if we take too long, the police could kill us all in less than 24 hours.
However, if we do the right things we can get Olivia out of the country so she can be used as a bargaining chip for our sponsors.
Although it pains me to say it, in this conflict, we are only simple errand boys who have to follow orders to continue functioning.
I know that many of you are against the idea of kidnapping the governor's daughter, but we don't have many options. We have to carry out this mission urgently because our sponsors could cut off our cash supply.
Now I would like to hear your possible opinions so that we can know how we have to deal with this problem before we can prepare everything necessary."
One of the men sitting at that table took a deep breath and stroked his beard.
"We can plan Olivia's kidnapping from the moment she leaves the capital, and she heads to the city of Strawberry. It may be a dangerous time for all of us, but it is definitely the best time to be able to strike.
We just have to do things the right way and maybe with a little more preparation so that in that period of time that he moves from one city to another we can attack.
The only problem we have to deal with is evacuation routes once we completely eliminate the convoy protecting her.
It will be difficult to get out once a general curfew is put in place across the state to prevent us from escaping.
Unfortunately, another of the problems we have is that the route they are taking is through the interior of the state, so it is definitely not a viable option to be able to leave without adequate preparation.
But after talking to some of my guys, I've come to the conclusion that it's best to keep Olivia locked up in an old gas station while we slowly wait for the fervor for her to die down.
We should be able to live in that gas station for at least a full year, then we could safely leave the state and head south to cross the border.
At that moment we would only have to drug Olivia and make her cross normally, fortunately for us the Mexican authorities will definitely not be able to know who she is because the time she spends at the gas station will be enough for her whole body to change enough that it cannot be easily recognized.
This is the best plan I could think of and it really may be the best of all, however the plan to attack the city of Strawberry in order to get the attention of the Flanagan family and the police is not a bad option either.
However, there is much danger in doing any of these actions, as we have to be fully prepared for a counterattack against our integrity.
Since they will definitely know that we were to blame for the disappearance of the governor's daughter, that will really be a very big problem for all of us.
Although we have the option of being able to escape abroad and live a completely trouble-free life, which is not a bad option either, but in the end it is up to all of us to decide what we have to do."
Another of the men who was listening to everything folded his hands and laughed out loud.
"All of you are cowardly or too stupid. What we have to do is deliver a precise and direct hit on the state capital especially on the Governor's Palace.
If we can directly attack the governor's palace, it will be quite easy for us to get Olivia.
We just have to create a lot of chaos in the city so we can use the influence that we currently have in the state capital to be able to organize some very strong riots so that all the police are busy with other things.
At that moment we only have to strike and we will have the governor's daughter in our hands, but we would have to be quick because in a few days she will leave the capital and then I can be sure that it will be very difficult to complete the mission. "
