"Let's get into some interesting news, shall we? Over the last few days, a mysterious individual has been trending over social media for stopping criminals in the Metro."
"Almost like something out of a comic book, a woman wearing a racing outfit has stopped two different robbery incidents in the Metro over this week."
"According to eyewitnesses, the mysterious woman wearing a racing helmet calls herself Racer X. While not out winning on the street races in the area, she is out there fighting criminals in the Metro."
"Guys, so for today's video, usapan po natin itong babae na nag-trending po ngayon sa TikTok. Ang pangalan po niya sabi ng aking source ay si Racer X."
"Sino ba tung Racer X? Parang ano eh, pangalan ng anime na ewan? Publicity stunt lang ba to ng Netflix or what?"
"Recorded CCTV footage of an unidentified woman taking down local criminals have been trending on Philippine Social Media platforms."
"She calls herself Racer X. Who is she? Is she a superhero? An upcoming racing personality? A marketing ploy? Friend or Foe? You decide."
It was just a few days, and Racer X was now the talk of the down almost everywhere. While in the van, Leni, Sherwin, and Tin were listening to the local news on the radio, going through videos and articles related to the new persona Leni had created herself. Leni reached out to the dropped bag and carefully placed back the black helmet and envelopes into the bag beside her.
"Grabe talaga tung mga taga-Media ang dami sinasabi di naman totoo yung iba." Sherwin complained while he drove, "Publicity stunt ka lang daw ma'am? Lahat nalang!"
"Hayaan mo nalang siguro." Leni spoke, "I mean, I have only appeared for a few days. They would find out more soon enough. But how I wish they never really put me too much into the spotlight, though."
"So far, no one commented or discussed your donations to AB NGO, which is good, I think." Tin commented as she scrolled through her phone, "I really admire your staff so far Atty.. They really know how to keep some things private, especially when it comes to matters related to the NGO."
"Ui, don't forget! You guys are part of it!" Leni reminded Tin, "Although you guys work part-time for me, you are part of AB, you know."
"Truly an honor, Ma'am!" Sherwin expressed,
"Dream job fulfilled, Atty." Tin smiled, "Working along with the former VP—and the new current hero of the metro are things I won't forget for the rest of my life."
The van then stopped as it arrived at its destination. Their location is somewhere on the outskirts of the Metro, where only one apartment building stood. Leni immediately went out of the van into the building's garage area.
As she switched on the light, there it was—the black Honda Civic, Racer X's reliable companion. Stock body but the interior parts are all modified. It wasn't obvious that Leni had always had that interest in cars. Ever since she became Racer X, she has had the freedom to do some of the hobbies that she is interested in. She wasn't really the best person in cars, but she always had a curiosity about modifications.
She took her old Honda Civic that she usually drove to work or around the city over the years and made it a better car than it was before. She was blessed enough to be connected with some people to make this happen, and she did everything she could to ensure that none of her close friends in politics, even her own daughters knew about what she planned to do with it.
"Welcome back, Ma'am Leni." Came a guy who went inside the garage with them. "Na-check ko na toh lahat. Ready to go na siya."
"Wala nang problema sa shocks, George?" Leni asked the man,
