Spiked Again?

Halia remembered at that moment that Jackson had been extradited by Interpol. Was he helping Interpol? Did they offer him a reduced sentence for his help?

But, then again, how did he know that she was SPU?

Halia thought about her bracelet and the secret room in Jackson's apartment; she thought about the surveillance equipment, the burner phones, and the USB stick that contained information on corrupt police...

Suddenly, a more likely answer came to her mind. How was she so stupid to not figure it out earlier?

"Jackson's not your boyfriend, is he?" she asked Amelie nervously. If this was true, then everything suddenly made sense; that's why Jackson said Amelie would understand his actions the previous night. 

Amelie laughed and picked up a folded nightgown. "No, he's not..."

She then put the nightgown back down and said casually, "...he's my colleague."

Halia looked at the woman in surprise.

Colleague?
