The guard returned and we could not continue the conversation.

The guard could return any moment and he would wonder why the car was still there, might even walk along to find out.

She told him not to go and to tell the guards to return at 8 am.

It might be some time before the guards returned to let him out.

The same three guards returned ten minutes later with the major.

Her only hope was to make a run for the door and pray the guard had returned.

After about 15 minutes, the guards returned to the car and led me back to the house.

They had less than two minutes before the first guard returned.

But minutes later, he went back outside, the police said, and fell before the guards returned.

Eventually that guard would return, if only to get his magazine.
