[Sally]: Hey, harry. Did you see the story about Apex Corporation?
[Harry]: No
[Sally]: There was a robbery there last Friday night.
[Harry]: Really?
[Sally]: Yeah. One of the thieves came in through a window,then he opened the door for the others.
They stole all the computers in the offices, and some money. The staff arrived the next day to find everything gone.
[Harry]: That's a bit scary. Apex Corporation is just three blocks from us.
[Sally]: Yeah.There's too much crime in this neighborhood.
[Harry]: Oh, It's the economy. No one has any money right now.
[Sally]: Hey. I heard that Todd ask Joan two months ago about hiring a securaty guard,
but Joan said no. A guard was too expensive.
[Harry]: Let me guess: We're hiring a guard now.
[Sally]: Yep. She starts tomorrow.
[Harry]: She ? A female guard?
[Sally]: Uh-huh
