Answer:

after we had waited for twenty minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A subordinate clause does not express a complete thought and must be linked to an independent clause in order to make sense. Actually, in a complex sentence like this one, a subordinate or dependent clause is connected with an independent clause with a subordinating conjunction. Apart from after, other subordinating conjunctions that link dependent and independent clauses are before, although and whether.
