Sanem forwarded on the address Aziz sent to Can. She knew his phone would be on silent for the duration of his meeting, but she didn't know how long that would be. She figured he had a right to meet the guy who was trying to ruin his career. 

Umut and Sanem drove to Silveri and parked outside a dilapidated apartment complex.

"This is the address my uncle sent."

"So he's not some world renowned hacker by the look of it." Umut eyed the run down apartment building. "Which apartment?" 

"Uhm…" Sanem looked at the text message on her phone, "He didn't say."

"Better start knocking on doors then." 

They got out of the car and Sanem eyed all of the apartments there were. "Let's split up. We'll cover ground faster."

"Okay, but call for me if you find him."

Umut went upstairs to search the second storey while Sanem started on the ground level.

The first apartment she knocked on belonged to a very elderly lady who barely knew her own name much less the names of her neighbors. She thanked her for her time and moved on. 

When the second door opened, Sanem knew this was their guy. On the other side of the barely opened door stood a scrawny, nerdy looking guy wearing glasses.

"Yes?"

"Himli?"

"That's me. Do I know you?"

There was something about seeing him now that sparked instant anger in Sanem. This guy tried to ruin Can's life. "No. But you do know Can Divit."

The door was suddenly being slammed shut, but Sanem stuck her foot out at the last second, preventing it from closing. She pushed against the door while Himli pushed back on the other side.

"UMUT!" She called for backup and shoved her shoulder as hard as she could on the door and finally managed to overpower him

"UMUT!" She called for backup and shoved her shoulder as hard as she could on the door and finally managed to overpower him. The door swung open and Himli made a break for it. Sanem ran behind him but he managed to make it to his bedroom and shut the door before she was able to catch up to him.

Sanem pulled on the handle but it was too late, he had already locked it. "Open the door!"

"I didn't do anything!" 

Sanem heard footsteps behind her and a moment later, Umut was by her side, "I take it you found him."

"Yes. And the little toad locked himself in his room."

"I don't blame him." Umut said, seeing the fire in Sanem's eyes. He smiled and simply knocked on the door. His demeanor was the complete opposite of Sanem's and he spoke calmly, "This is Deputy Umut with the Fener Sheriff's department. You want to come out and talk to me?"
