Scarlett Hailton

Scarlett "Schooch" Hailton is a Detective Constable in the National Crime Agency and a main character in the second series of Bulletproof.

Arriving from the child protection unit, Scooch formes an unlikely relationship with Pike that endangers his relationship with Arjana

History
Scarlett previously worked for the Child Protection Unit before transferring to the NCA, although the details surrounding her employment are vague.

Relationship with Pike
When Scarlett joins the NCA, there are immediate signs of a connection between her and Pike. Pike helps her out numerous times on assignments and gives her advice publicly; this is eventually noticed by Bishop, who comments that he notices the connection. Despite Bishop's comments and observations, Pike dismisses the relationship between the two, but Scooch is unaware of the discussion.

The connection between the two becomes even more profound — and obvious — when Pike is sent on an undercover mission into the heart of the Markides' empire. Pike misses his check-in due to the undercover work, and Scooch begins to worry, voicing her concerns to Munroe — Munroe tells her to give him a little extra time and let him know if he doesn't check in. When Pike fails to check in thirty-minutes later, however, Scooch heads to the club to check on him. When the two are talking, Mikey approaches and questions who Scooch is. In an effort to cover up their work connection (and thus giving away Pike's cover), Scooch kisses Pike and the two begin making out. Days later, the two remark that it was just a work thing and agree to think nothing of it.
