I pulled my phone and held it out to him with shaking hands.
"The video is on here. And I recorded every call he made to me. Every threat. It's all there."
He took the phone and tapped on the video. I watched his face while he watched mine, watched his jaw tighten, watched something cold and murderous settle into his eyes. He exited after a few seconds, like he couldn't stomach more, and scrolled to the recordings. He played the calls, one after another, listening without a word while I sat there and quietly fell apart.
There was a knock on the door.
I flinched. Agent Frost rose, opened it, exchanged a few low words with someone in the hallway, and came back in carrying a large black bag. He set it on the table and lifted out a machine, some sleek handheld device with a screen.
"I already believe you," he told me. "But since the machine is already here, I just need to confirm. Hold out your hand."
I did. He pressed my thumb to the scanner, and the screen lit up, ran through its little process, and displayed my face and my name.
Tasha.
He looked at it, nodded once, and packed the machine away.
Then he sat back down, and when he spoke, his voice was quieter than it had been all night.
"I'm sorry about what you've been through. Everything you've told me about Big Bryan, I was already aware of. I know what Sparrow did to him. I know he slipped back into this city not too long ago. I even know the club he's operating out of, because I have people watching him." He leaned forward. "But Big Bryan is careful, Tasha. Careful in a way that makes him almost untouchable. And a lot of top officials are on his payroll. Judges. Commissioners. People whose names would make your hair stand up."
I hugged my knees. "So what does that mean?"

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....
