I found this strange, but I tried to be polite and ____. I asked him if he needed any assistance, but he declined. I told him that it wasn't safe to be out in this weather and that he should come inside until the storm passed. He agreed and stepped inside. As we sat in the living room, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right. His story didn't seem ____, and his behavior was ____. I became ____ for my safety, especially when I noticed that he was carrying an ____ bag. Suddenly, he stood up and said that he had to leave. I was ____ that he might have some ulterior motive, so I followed him to the door. As he stepped outside, a bolt of lightning illuminated his face, and I saw a look of madness in his eyes. I slammed the door shut and locked it, feeling relieved that I had trusted my instincts. The next day, I contacted the police and reported the incident. They told me that there had been reports of a legal case involving a patient who had escaped from a mental institution nearby.
