[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 security 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
