The Ambush on the Gang Leaders was a mission carried out by the Punisher to assassinate two gang leaders and their henchmen.
Background[]
- "We need good people here to get things done. And let's face it, when it comes to this stuff, you're the best. I'm offering you a job, Castle."
"I already got a job, Madani. You take care." - ―Dinah Madani and Punisher[src]
Frank Castle completely went off the grid, breaking off all of his contacts. Understanding that he was unable to continue his life, Castle decided to accept the mantle of Punisher and resume his anti-criminal crusade. As he targeted two criminal gangs based in New York City and tracked them down to an old warehouse, he was suddenly called by Dinah Madani whose phone number was blocked. Castle ignored Madani's calls, continuing to watch for his targets outside of his car. Madani insisted and Castle finally answered and asked her how she found him. Madani replied that she left Homeland Security and joined the CIA which allowed her to use the Agency equipment to track down Castle.

Castle then asked Madani what she wanted and Madani answered that the CIA was informed about a high-profile target and Madani needed help to eliminate him. Due to Madani's intention to work with him again, Castle noted that Madani had changed since the last time they met what Madani agreed, commenting that she spent too much time with him. She offered Castle the chance to participate in the CIA mission to do what he did best, but Castle refused to work with her, making Madani deal with her problems by herself.[2]

Punisher about to kill the Gang Leaders and the Henchmen
Spotting the last gang member enter the warehouse, Castle donned his new Skull Vest and grabbed his weapons before walking to the warehouse. The deal between the two gangs went south as both of their leaders thought that they were lured in the trap. All gang members pulled their guns on each other, intending to start a gunfight before Castle drew their attention. Before they could react and fight back, Castle prepared his weapons and violently massacred all gang members in front of him, without any mercy and hesitation.[2]
