Probably not dangerous. Probably

So the person in the mystery limo that's been parked outside our apartment building for days has been looking for Karen and is identifying themselves as her "friend." That's not ominous at all. Nope. Totally normal. At least it's not a panel van with a sign that reads "Free puppies and candy!"

But, Ellen's gone. Up the stairs, presumably to her unit, and almost certainly swearing every step of the way, while I look out into the empty hallway, trying to make sense of what she had just said. Turning to Karen, hoping she has some idea of what the hell is going on, I find her now dressed, looking like she's waiting for me to get out of the way so she can go out the door.

"Come on Master, let's go see what's up with this limo. Apparently, I've got a friend who owns a limo. Or...or at least drives one, I guess. Ever want to recreate prom night? We could find out just how many harem girls fit into a limousine!" Wit that she grabs my hand and starts tugging me out the door, paying little attention to the fact that neither of us are wearing shoes.

"Aren't you a little bit skeeved out by this, Karen?" Some dude just plants their car outside your apartment for a couple days, apparently waiting for you and is calling themselves your friend? That's not sounding any alarms?"

Laughing as she dragged me down the hallway the redheaded vixen waved off my concerns. "Please, my big strong Master wouldn't let anything happen to me, would he?"

Oh god, those puppy-eyes ought to be registered as lethal weapons. "Fine. Just...just be ready to run if this goes sideways." And for the second time in a couple minutes, I'm missing my shoes. "Also...weren't you wearing something different when I first saw you?"

"Don't try and pretend you've never had a girlfriend before. I met a couple of them, if you'll recall. Are you going to tell me they didn't have at least a spare set of clothes at your place? I'm pretty sure your harem gets those rights as well."

"But you live across the hall!"

"Whatever you say, Master." Karen opened the door to the outside. "Look, the limo's still there!"

"And there's someone in it. Look, you can see the silhouette in the window."

Before we could get any closer, however, the driver's door opened to reveal the person who'd been waiting outside our building for a couple days...
