Chapter 75 - Living A Normal Life (1/2)

Back in the lab, Halia watched as Jackson carried the half completed bomb out of the closet. No wonder he woke up so late; he had been up all night working on this.

Luckily, God was on Halia's side and Max had told her the meeting details for the bomb meeting first so she could intercept it. Even if Jackson was to build the bomb now, it didn't matter because he wasn't going to make it to the meeting at the right time. Halia breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.

In fact, she suddenly had a better idea. Why couldn't she complete the bomb and sneak out to the deal herself? That way, she could guarantee the capture of Remy Durand. After all, they couldn't arrest Remy Durand unless he committed a crime on Chinese soil, and if Jackson didn't go to the deal, then what evidence could they hold against him. She couldn't let go of this opportunity. She wanted to protect Jackson, but she couldn't let Remy Durand go.

Halia took a deep breath and walked over to look at the bomb. She then picked up a few pieces and started attaching them.

Jackson smiled. Good, this woman was finally giving up.

The couple worked laboriously on the bomb until dinner came around and Max arrived. While Max was keeping Halia company in the lab, Jackson quickly popped upstairs to make a phone call.

”Meeting time and location has been set...” he reported over the phone.

...

Meanwhile, at the SPU headquarters, Sean was gathering a troupe for the next day and briefing everyone on the operation.

”Tomorrow, at 8pm, we will be raiding a cabin where international fugitive, Remy Durand, will be undergoing a deal with national arms dealer, Jackson Wu. Under national law, we can not charge Remy Durand for any offences that he hasn't committed on Chinese soil, so we will have to wait until an exchange takes place before we run in an arrest them on the spot. Our aim is to catch two birds with one stone, but if we fail, our main priority is Remy Durand,” Sean explained. Of course, he had no idea that Halia had given Jackson the wrong meeting details and was planning to go herself.

Sean then showed a map of the meeting location and marked out all the spots to hide as well as the formations they had to follow to enter the cabin and guarantee no one escaped.

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. This was going to be a huge arrest and they were ready for it.
