华尔街基础英语Lesson 54

REPORT ON A VISIT TO TWO APARTMENTS IN NORTH WASHDON.
Together with two other officers, Detective Henson and Detective Bedges, I visited Truleigh Cart¹, in Cherch Street, Washdon, on Wednesday the 23rd of May. Henson drove² the car, Bedges sat in the passenger seat, and I sat behind. We left Head office at 10:49pm. And we arrived in Church Street at 11:23pm; so the journey took 34 minutes. We stopped opposite the front door on the other side of the road, in front of a blue Toyota. Henson and Bedges got out of the car to go up to apartment 3A, and I stayed in the car to… watch the situation. Henson and Bedges visited two apartments: number 3A and 3B. A gentleman and an old lady helped them with their work, and they came out of the house at 12:11am. We then went back to Head Office. Henson drove the car, and Bedges sat in the passenger seat. We arrived back at Head Office at 12:37am.
Signed, Detective Inspector³ HD Carter⁴.
