一次幸运的逃脱

人物：Justin和Paul，双胞胎兄弟；Susan，他们的朋友；三个穿警服的男人；一个警察。

（Justin和Paul正在家里。电话铃响了。这是他们的朋友Susan。她住在Hill大楼附近。她正在大喊。）

Susan：救命！救命！大楼里有一些强盗！

Justin：我们必须去救她！让我们驾车去Hill大楼。

（Justin和Paul很快开车来到Hill大楼。他们立刻从他们的车里出来。三个穿着警服的男人正在跑出大楼。）

Paul：对不起，先生。你看到强盗了吗？

（男人没有回答。他们只是将Justin和Paul推进一辆绿色面包车尾部，并开走了它。Justin：这些男人不是警察。他们是强盗。

Paul：是的，他们是强盗！他们想要把我们带到哪里？我们必须从这儿出去！

（Paul试着去开门，但是失败了。他用一把小刀再试了一次。它奏效了。）

Paul：让我们跑去第四街的警察局。

Justin：好的，但是他们将会看见我们。我们走不同的路线好吗？

Paul：好的！我将沿第六街直走。然后我将左拐进公园路，右拐进第四街到警察局。
