My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress.6her was a young man of about 25. He seemed very7, and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance(入口). The girl drew some money and8 about opening an account(账户). I gave her necessary information and she went out. Then, I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something covered with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was afraid to see a gun(枪) sticking out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise9my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… It seemed to be a long time 10 I opened my eyes and I found myself in bed!11shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house.
