Leaving her family behind has been the hardest thing Raquel ever did in her life. It's not because she will be away for some time but because there's no guarantee that she will come back and see them again. Her mother understood that because she made her understand it. She can only hope that if she doesn't make it back, Paula will be as understanding like her mother. Sergio already relocated them somewhere safe which she has no idea where for their safety. If she ever gets caught, the police will try to use them as leverage to get her to talk and she cannot risk Paula ending up with her father. She would die first before that happened.

Sergio knows how difficult it is for Raquel to adjust with the people around her. It's clear she's one of them but the others still are not comfortable having her around and there's a clear distrust in the air for her. He noticed how she remains quiet whenever there's discussion within the group and she keeps her distance from everyone. She only talks when someone asked her or if her opinion is needed about the plan.

"Are you sure we can really trust your inspector?" Martin asked him as they looked at the gang scattered at the compound of the monastery.

The others are teasing Denver while Raquel is sitting a few feet away from them watching them while drinking her wine.

"I've never been so sure in my life and that should tell you a lot", Sergio answered.

Martin studied him carefully and sighed.

"You really did fall in love. I wish your brother can see you right now. This is what he always wanted for you", he said.

Sergio smiled sadly. He wishes the same thing too. He knows it will be a trouble introducing Raquel to Andres as his girlfriend but he also knows if Andres is still around, he will be happy for him.

"Don't give her a hard time, Martin. I cannot erase the doubts from all of you but don't make it harder for her. She's been through so much already because of me and now she left her family to help us. If not for her, do it for me", he pleaded.

Martin nodded and patted his back.

"Of course, I can do that. She doesn't like me very much but I can make an effort to get along with your girl and I promise to have her back when the others tried something stupid", he replied and it made Sergio happy.

During dinner, Martin and Sergio launched the story on how the idea of the heist came about. Everyone listened with keen ears and eyes except Raquel who focused on her food. She knows the story but she made an effort not to look bored. She's exhausted about the late nights of perfecting the imperfect plan and the emotional strain of being away from her daughter. It helps to be with Sergio and he always makes it up to her every night. The uneasiness of the atmosphere around her aggravates the stress she's feeling but she's doing her best to keep face.

No one knows how the discussion about the heist ended up to the topic concerning gender roles. Suddenly, everyone joined in on the debate about female rights led by Nairobi while the gentlemen with the exception of Sergio fought back. It was a loud dinner and Raquel wanted to shrink into her chair. She's happy to be invisible but she's been invisible since they arrived at the monastery and it's draining her.

"Oh, that's really double standard", Bogota said at one point and Raquel's ears didn't fail to catch that.

"You think it's double standard that women are now speaking up about the abuse they received from men?" Nairobi asked.

This time Raquel's eyes are on them. She should walk away while she can but she cannot bring herself to get up and leave.

"Why not? If it's so horrible and it's not their fault, why not leave when they got hit the first time? Why wait?" Bogota asked casually.

Denver nodded in agreement which earned him a glare from Monica. Helsinki kept a poker face while Marseille is looking at the Professor.

"I think we should stop this talk right now", Sergio intervened.

Martin frowned at his tone. He knows there's a hidden note to that sentence.

"Come on…it's very simple. No one hit someone without a reason", Bogota continued, completely ignoring Sergio.

"Bogota", Sergio warned.

"If they got hit, it's probably their fault…too much nagging or something like that", Bogota went on.

"Bogota!" Sergio yelled in a tone none of them recognized.

Everyone stopped and looked at the Professor. They have never heard him raise his voice before even under pressure from the heist. Bogota blinked a few times wondering what he said wrong. Sergio attempted to put his hand over Raquel's but she flinched. Eyes turned to her this time. She's staring at her plate but her mind is already wandering in another time. She's already lost someplace else.

Sergio's touched on her skin snapped her out of her thoughts and made her realize that everyone is staring at her. She took a deep breath just to gather herself.

"Excuse me", she managed to say before getting up and retreated to the other side of the monastery.

She lit up her cigarette and smoked her stress away. After a few minutes, she felt Sergio approaching behind her. She didn't flinch this time when he wrapped his arms around her. The cigarette is taking effect and she's calmer.

"Bogota is a fool and I talked sense into him", he whispered.

"I know. It's a little hard to realize how easy it is to be ignored or be blamed for something you're not at fault at. Sometimes, it makes me wonder whether it's really my fault why Alberto hurt me", she said.

Sergio gently grabbed her shoulders to turn her to him.

"Don't ever think that. We both know it's not your fault. It was never your fault", he said.

Raquel put out her cigarette so she can let herself be enveloped by his arms. It's thousand times better than her cigarette.

"Thank you, my love. Thank you", she muttered.
