A week later, just as I finished dinner, someone began pounding on my front door.<\/p>\n
Not knocking\u2014banging.<\/p>\n
My heart jumped. No one ever came by anymore.<\/p>\n
When I opened the door, two men stood rigidly on my porch. Black suits. Polished shoes. Serious expressions.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I help you?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Harris,\u201d one of them said evenly, \u201care you aware of what you did last Thursday? That woman and her baby\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
Before I could answer, the other man cut in sharply:<\/p>\n
\u201cYOU\u2019RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.\u201d<\/p>\n
My stomach dropped.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting away with what?\u201d I asked, my voice steady but my hands trembling.<\/p>\n
They asked to come inside. I let them in.<\/p>\n
