2 . Hardly had I finished my work and left my office building at 9 p. m. on a Saturday when it rained cats and dogs. I noticed a man wandering around my car the moment I _______ the parking lot.
He was alone, _______ with cold, and he was looking around every few seconds. It was then that it _______ me that I had forgotten to roll the car window up and that was _______ where I left my wallet.
I ran and called out to the man, _______ he didn’t take the money and make a run with it. I was too tired to _______ him.
“Are you the _______ of this car?” the man asked, raindrops on the roof of my car making his voice _______.
“Yes, I am. And who the hell are you?” I replied with an unfriendly _______.
The man went on to tell me that he was a ________ nearby and familiar with every face and every car here. “This morning, several young men walked up ________ to take the money in your car. I would not let that happen. I came over and frightened them away, ________ to call the police. The young men ran away immediately. I was waiting for you here so that the car and your money would be ________,” he said.
When the man gave a clear ________ of what had happened earlier, I ate my words out of________ I knew I wronged him.
“Why didn’t you take the money?” I asked him.
“I beg, sir. But I don’t steal!” He replied determinedly and left hurriedly.
