Because Carl might know about everyone that lives in the annex. He remembers there being a doorway they put the book case. And if they refuse to give him money or anything, he could tell everyone that there might be someone living there. Mr. Kraler does not know that for sure but he does not want to take a chance.

Mr. Kraler is nervous about Carl because he knows about the hidden annex and could expose the people living there. Carl's awareness of a bookcase that blocks the entrance raises concerns about the safety of everyone in hiding. The situation emphasizes the constant threat they face from both the Nazis and potential informants.
