"The ( 2. ) looks ( 3. ). Now, let's see. The address on the ( 4. ) is apartment ( 5. )." "Wasn't there anything in the letter?"
"There was a ( 6. ). It seems that I'm ( 7. ) an ( 8. ) and a ( 9. ), I didn't even pay John Blake's bill."
"Please, Jeff, don't joke about it."
"All right, Rosalee, no joking. I don't think it's very funny either. Now if I were John Blake, I ( 10. ) have a key to my own apartment. This must be it. I don't remember ever seeing it before, but the number 203 is ( 11. ) on it. Well, Rosalee..."
"I'll stay here and ( 12. ) you if the police come. Good luck, Jeff."

I don't know how long I stood there unaware of anything except the ( 26. ) inside. Gradually I...I was aware that somebody was knocking on the door. But it...it was several seconds before I ( 27. ) it.
It was...It was at my door. The Police! Rosalee said that she'd warn me.
"Open up in there! This is the Police."
It was the police. I wasn't ready to give myself up yet. I ran to the window. There was a ( 28. ) outside.
""Open it...or we'll break..."
I raised the window and looked out. I...I couldn't see anyone.

It was Rosalee.
