The captain came back a little before the three hours were up.

And then the captain came to him with a question.

Not long, he thought, and turned as the Captain came into the room.

But after all, the captain had come alone, or nearly so, to meet him.

Looking up, they saw that the captain had come forward.

The captain came back into the room, this time with several people behind him.

Eventually the captain would come to some type of decision on their next move.

Joe didn't know why the captain had come, but his own mind was decided.

When the captain came back, the man pulled me behind the door.

I must ask the Captain to come with me immediately.
