“Bob?” she ___9___. “Yes, Bob,” I responded, surprised she knew his name. “He was here and just ___10___,” she said. “But he told us you were coming.” I payed the fee and walked out with Bob’s Birth Certificate. As I was driving home I saw Bob riding back ___11___ an old bike. “Bob! I got it!” I ___12___ and jumped out of my car shouting, “Look, here it is!” He saw me and ___13___ over.
He told me I was his guardian angel and got ___14___ in his eyes. A few days later I ___15___ him to meet me at the Social Security Office.
