A couple offers him help, but their true intentions are unclear from "summary" of Past Tense by Lee Child
A couple pulled up in a car as Reacher was walking along the road. They offered him a ride, which he accepted. Their faces were friendly, but their eyes were unreadable. Reacher couldn't quite figure out their true intentions. The man behind the wheel seemed relaxed, but there was something in his posture that Reacher couldn't quite place. The woman beside him was smiling, but her gaze was intense, almost calculating. As they drove, the couple engaged Reacher in small talk, asking him where he was headed and what he was doing out in the middle of nowhere. Reacher answered vaguely, keeping his guard up. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. The couple seemed too eager to help, too insistent on making conversation. The man suddenly mentioned a nearby motel where Reacher could spend the night. Reacher's suspicions grew. Why were they so eager to get him off the road and into a motel? What did they have to gain from helping a stranger like him? As they pulled into the motel parking lot, Reacher's instincts went on high alert. He had to be careful, had to stay vigilant. The couple bid him goodbye, their smiles still in place. Reacher watched as they drove off, his mind racing with questions. What were they really up to? Were they just being kind, or did they have ulterior motives? Reacher couldn't be sure, but he knew one thing for certain – he would have to watch his back from now on.
