Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 424
Back inside, the security room felt too quiet, the screens glowing blue in the dark. I pulled up the feed and watched it twice, Castro stepping out of the car, Sharon beside him, his men fanning out, the shots, the men falling, Castro dragged into the car and driven away. I copied it onto a drive, and then I made the first call. It was a friend from college who was now a detective.
He picked up on the second ring, his voice rough with sleep. "Celeste. This is a surprise."
"I am reporting a crime, Officer. Attempted kidnapping, assault, and a public disturbance involving more than twenty armed men outside Helix Laboratory."
There was a long pause. "Are you alright?"
"I am. I have footage. I am sending it to you now."
"Send it. We can meet tomorrow to talk about the case."
"I will be there."
I sent the footage, then I made the second call, to the best criminal lawyer I knew. He answered on the first ring. "Miss. Adams. It is late. What is wrong?"
After we exchanged pleasantries, I went straight to the point. "I need you to take on a case. I am sending you a video. I want the people in it charged and brought to court. I'd like to meet with you tomorrow."
"Send it over. What time tomorrow?"
"Nine in the morning. I will come to your office."
"I will be ready."
"Lucky for me she listens to someone."
I laughed, and it sounded almost real. "I listen to no one. I was hungry."
"Then you are in luck." He swung an arm around my shoulder and steered me inside.
The house was warm, all soft amber light and the smell of tomatoes, and I let myself sink into it. I sat at the marble island and let Dominic serve me, let him fuss over portions and complain that I was not eating enough, and I answered every question about my day with a lie wrapped in a smile. Good. Productive. The usual.
Pat watched me twice. She frowned at me, but she played along anyway, and I loved her for it.
"You are quiet tonight," Dominic said, settling onto the stool beside me with his own plate.

The readers' comments on the novel: Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic)
Agent Frost better teach Tasha how to protect herself if anything gets out of hand or if she’s ever in danger or forced again...
I need some good news for Tasha. Special Agent hear her out and don’t let her get back into that life. Do I hear a romance or someone Tasha can truly count on besides Scarlett??...
I hope Tasha is let off and helped by this detective and gets away from all this maybe a twist for this novel is she gets on the good side of things and gets away from that life completely even if she has to separate herself from Scarlett but it appears Tasha gets hurt by Scarlett’s and sparrow’s stupidity as she’s blamed for Scarlett’s decisions...
Her life is ruined and Scarlett’s been living a luxurious life through it all...
I officially hate everyone for hurting Tasha and allowing things to happen to her. This whole Sparrow and Scarlett situation is some BS....
It’s a bit stupid that as powerful and ruthless sparrow is he and Scarlett sure do a lousy job of protecting and having guard on Tasha. Like how did all of this happen to her if he was supposed to be protecting her based on the contract??...
More Chapters Please...
I thought it said 10 chapters a day??? It’s been like 2-3 days and no update after chapter 574. The release time is so inconsistent, I have started to just loose interest....
Just find Tasha and get her some help. How did she have sparrow’s men watching her if she really cared so much. Scarlett’s character is so suspect…...
Storyline is interesting it’s just so much sexual content I have to skip through just find out the main context of the story....
