“Do you have any enemies?” Karim asked as they sat facing each other in his living room.

“Not that I know of.”

“Someone doesn’t like you. I saw it first when someone tried to take out your tires.”

“My tires?”

He nodded.

“And that car that nearly ran me down wasn’t an accident?”

He shook his head.

She blinked. “But that doesn’t make sense. I’m a science tutor for crying out loud.”

“Perhaps an angry parent? A child who failed?”

“All my clients succeed,” she said trying not to sound affronted. “None of them would want to hurt me and I get most of my business through referrals.”

He sighed. “Well, someone doesn’t like you.”

“What were they looking for?”

He rubbed his chin. “That’s what I can’t figure out. Your place wasn’t trashed. They were waiting for you. At least one was. That’s what made me suspicious. The two were usually together, but at the coffee shop I only saw one. That’s when I thought one may be at your place. It’s likely the first one saw us leave together and followed us. I caught him by surprise before I faced the second man.”

“That makes sense.”

He shook his head in disagreement. “But there are still too many questions. It may take more time for me to get information out of them.”

“You mean you didn’t call the police?”

“I will once I get what I need,” he said in an even tone.

“Where did you put them?”

“They won’t hurt you.”

That wasn’t what she’d asked, but his tone made it clear he didn’t plan to give her a straight answer. “Can I go back to my place?”

He stared at her for a long moment, the same assessing look that made her feel tense, then nodded. “I’m coming with you.”
