Prišla sem prijavit krajo," je začela z mirnim glasom.En: "Good day, Jure. I'm here to report a theft," she began in a calm voice.Sl: "Kakšna kraja?" je vprašal Jure, ne da bi odtrgal oči s papirjev.En: "What kind of theft?" asked Jure, without taking his eyes off the papers.Sl: "Mojih rastlin... In rastlin v skupnostnih vrtovih po Ljubljani," je Maja nadaljevala, s toplim glasom, upajoč, da bo njena zaskrbljenost nalezljiva.En: "My plants... and the plants in the community gardens around Ljubljana," Maja continued, with a warm voice, hoping her concern would be contagious.Sl: Jure se je naposled ozrl nanjo, a njegov obraz ni kazal razumevanja.En: Jure finally looked at her, but his face showed no understanding.Sl: "Rastline?" je vprašal z rahlim podtonom dvoma.En: "Plants?" he asked with a slight tone of doubt.Sl: "Da, zelo nenavadno. Rastline izginjajo ponoči. To ni le majhna kraja, gre za sistematično odnašanje redkih vrst," je Maja vztrajala.En: "Yes, very unusual. Plants are disappearing at night. It's not just a minor theft; there's systematic removal of rare species," Maja insisted.Sl: "No, gospa, tole ne zveni kot nekaj, kar bi nas zares skrbelo," je Jure zamahnil z roko.En: "Well, ma'am, this doesn't sound like something we should really worry about," Jure waved his hand dismissively.Sl: "Imamo resnejše primere."En: "We have more serious cases."Sl: Maja je globoko vdihnila.En: Maja took a deep breath.Sl: Morala je najti način, da jih prepriča.En: She needed to find a way to convince them.Sl: Razmišljala je o tem, kaj je še odkrila.En: She thought about what else she had discovered.Sl: V torbi je imela nekaj fotografij.En: She had some photographs in her bag.Sl: Pridržala mu je eno.En: She showed him one.Sl: "Poglejte, to so oznake zemeljskih premikov. Nekdo namerno odstranjuje tla skupaj z rastlinami.En: "Look, these are traces of soil displacement. Someone is deliberately removing soil along with the plants.Sl: To je več kot le kraja, to je načrtovana dejavnost!" je dejala z večjo vnemo.En: This is more than just theft; it's a planned activity!" she said with more fervor.Sl: Jure je pogledal fotografije, a le bežno.En: Jure glanced at the photographs, but only briefly.Sl: Spet je odmahnil z roko.En: He waved his hand again.Sl: Maja ni hotela popustiti.En: Maja didn't want to give up.Sl: Zbrala je pogum in po nekaj dneh raziskovanja je našla ključno povezavo.En: She gathered courage and, after a few days of investigating, found a key connection.Sl: Vračala se je z več dokazi.En: She returned with more evidence.Sl: Bili so računi in fotografije redkih rastlin, ki so se pojavile na spletu v dragih zbirkah.En: There were receipts and photographs of rare plants appearing online in expensive collections.Sl: Ponovno je stopila pred pult, kjer je bil zdaj Tine.En: She appeared before the counter again, where Tine was now.Sl: Maja mu je pokazala nova spoznanja.En: Maja showed him her new findings.Sl: "Tole preprosto morate videti, Tine.En: "You simply have to see this, Tine.Sl: Po vsem mestu izginjajo rastline, nato pa se prodajajo na črnem trgu," je vztrajala.En: Plants are disappearing all over the city, and then they're being sold on the black market," she persisted.Sl: Tine, bolj odprt za pogovor, je preučil dokumente.En: Tine, more open to conversation, examined the documents.Sl: Na njegovem obrazu se je pokazala sled ...
