"The fact that you two were able to enter the Navarro Estate undetected says a lot about your talents." kumento ni Gio sa tatlong babae sa harap niya.

"Or your security is just crappy." tutol ni Aria.

"Could be both though." sagot ni Lizzie.

"Might be both. But we never found any reason to tighten our security. I mean come on, magkakanda ligaw-ligaw ka kung gusto mong maabot ang main mansion na naglalakad lang." sagot ni Gio. Tama naman siya. Malaki ang Navarro Estate. Kahit sabihin mong pamilyar ka sa isang lugar, ang talento ni Lizzie na magbasa ng mapa at magpasikot-sikot sa kahit anong lokasyon ay nakatulong sa kanila.

"Not to mention, opening our backdoor lock without making a noise." dagdag ni Gio.

Napatingin si Charmaine kay Lizzie. She was also responsible for that.

"Charmaine is a sharp shooter. Lizzie could lockpick. Aria moves fast. I could tell you three are a deadly combination." wika ni Gio.

"You barely scratched the surface, Kuya." sagot ni Charmaine.

"Is this why you are called the Trinity?" tanong ni Gio.

"Kind of," tipid na sagot ni Aria.

"So... kayo ang dahilan ng bar raid? The biggest bar in Ganza, right?"

Nagkatinginan ang tatlo. Are they going to answer honestly or are they going to deny it? Naging matunog ang raid na iyon sa bayan dahil akala ng karamihan, mga babaeng pulis ang may pakana nito. It was actually the Trinity and their men, women rather.

The Trinity hardly called themselves as a gang. It's just a group of women with a common goal: to avenge the orphanage. Meanwhile, the Red Ladies was accidentally formed in the process. Charmaine explained that to her Kuya. The three of them are on his office, on the PR firm's building. Gio was already able to get Lizzie's favor. The only one remaining was Aria's.

"The thing is, hindi makapag-report ang mga bar na nire-raid namin kasi kapag nag-report sila sa pulis, nilaglag na rin nila ang mga sarili nila sa awtoridad." proud na sagot ni Charmaine.

"Parang magnanakaw na magsusumbong ng kapwa magnanakaw," analohiya ni Gio.

"That's one brilliant idea. So ito ang dahilan kung bakit hindi nahuhuli ang Red Ladies at Trinity?"

"Dito pumapasok ang mga koneksyon namin ni Lizzie. Usually, after ng raid, nagpapadala na kami ng mga social worker. Karamihan, sa shelter namin dinadala. Iyong sponsored ng mga Fajardo na women and children's center. And the authorities just brush things off once the women are safe." paliwanag ni Aria.

"Paano ulit nabuo ang Red Ladies?"

"Some like-minded women friends are the first Red Ladies: numbers one to twelve. The additional ones, we trained some of the rescued. Tapos nagsimula silang gumawa ng ilang utos namin. Before we know it, we're operating like a group na."

"How can you assure your safety with the Red Ladies?" tanong ni Gio, nakatingin kay Aria.

"We just trust them." tipid na sagot ni Aria.

"Trust huh,"

"We don't operate like a gang kuya Gio. We are sisters." pagpapaliwanag ni Charmaine. Ngumiti si Gio. Napansin niyang kanina pa tahimik si Lizzie. It must have been about her brother.

"Interesting. And I bet if I offend even one of you, you all could kill me in an instant." wika ni Gio. "Well, except for you, Charms."

Tumawa si Charms.
