Theft of Bees Confounds Investigators 2

(1) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
I came here as soon as I could. Have you found my father's bees?

"As soon as I could" means you tried your best to do something quickly or soon.

(2) Detective: Listen
Yes. We've found your father's bees. The suspect hid them in an [vocab word=abandoned]abandoned[/vocab] [vocab word=warehouse]warehouse[/vocab].

"Abandoned" (adjective) is an "-ed" adjective. It came from the verb "abandon" (to not take care of something any more because you don't want it).

(3) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
What a relief! Should we go to the warehouse?
(4) Detective: Listen
That's not necessary. The bees are being [vocab word=transport]transported[/vocab] to the police station as we speak.

"The bees are being transported" is in present continuous tense and is also in passive voice.

(5) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
That's great! Can we take them home when they get here?
(6) Detective: Listen
Not right away. They will be [vocab word=process]processed[/vocab] as evidence. You'll have to wait a day or two.

"Right away" means very quickly or very soon.

(7) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
That's fine. Have you found the suspect?
(8) Detective: Listen
Yes, we have the guy. He has [vocab word=confess]confessed[/vocab] already. He is being [vocab word=charge]charged[/vocab] with the crime.

To charge someone with a crime means to say officially that someone committed a crime (to put that into records).

(9) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
How did he steal our bees? We both work in the farm, and we rarely go outside.
(10) Detective: Listen
You probably don't know this, but you and your father were being watched for several weeks [vocab word=prior to]prior to[/vocab] the theft.

"You and your father were being watched" is in past continuous tense and also in passive voice.

(11) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
Oh, really!
(12) Detective: Listen
Yes. The suspect knew that you and your father left the farm to play bingo every Saturday evening. That's when he stole your bees.
(13) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
I see. Well, I'm so happy we are going to get our bees back.
(14) Detective: Listen
You should consider getting an [vocab word=alarm]alarm[/vocab] system for your farm.
(15) Daughter of a farmer: Listen
Absolutely. In fact, an alarm system is being [vocab word=install]installed[/vocab] right now. We wouldn't want our bees stolen again!
