We-ell....what if Jade made an arrangement with the Triads for them to get her into the US since she's there to assassinate somebody on behalf of the LoS's, but posed as a common "tough" to get a part on the crew as "Hired Muscle;" the sort of person the Triad would send if there was a risk of the operation going south and they didn't want to risk their best operatives. OR, she's in Deep Cover within the Triad, sent to assassinate a Triad Leader in the USA who has maybe either cheated or just straight out pissed off Ra's; she's spent time working her way up the Triad Command Chain to a point of some authority so she can find out where he's hiding and infiltrate his security, then disappear into the shadows...but Artemis got in the way, which might provide a decent reason to get the League involved against her more personally in future?
