you will need room to put out diagrams and such. Also, they’re going to send over some of the things we talked about.” She grinned at them. “You should have heard the man when I told him we needed blocks that could be used for a housing project. He was excited as hell to get them for us—also people. I didn’t know how many you’d need, but he had a good idea in saying he’d fix them so that you could add things to them. Such as bullet holes and knife wounds.”
“You’re serious about this.” Rogen told Allie she was seldom not serious about her work. “What are you going to do with all this stuff if it turns out this is a one-time deal with me? For all you know, I could have spent the bank on this project and won’t know how to do it the next time.”
“Do you believe this was a one time shot? Tell me now if you do. Not that I’ll believe you if you tell me it was. You have a mind that works on a level that frankly makes me jealous. You can take a crime scene and make it into something that is not only easier to see, but you’ve done it in a way that makes me think you’re perfect at seeing outside the box.” Allie admitted that she did this kind of thing all the time when she wanted to move her furniture around. “Great. Once you get the proper equipment, you’ll be able to make things to scale or as close to it as you can. Crime scenes will be something that will get the most use of this. In that, you’ll be able to put in just what was at the crime scene and look at it from not only every angle but from overhead. That alone, to me, sounds like a good thing to have. No more tromping through a field or forest either. You’d have it all right here so that we can move it and use it over and over as more information comes to light. You have to do this for us, Allie. This is absolutely the next step in solving the most heinous of crimes.”
“I’ll do it.” Tru was glad. She didn’t want to have to bully her into helping them. Even with the ways that Rogen said they’d use it, Tru could see even more uses.
Like when she had to get in and out of a place. In her job, she’d sometimes have to wing it and make adjustments to things that hadn’t translated well to specs. Doorways and windows would help her in adjusting her travel through someone’s home or office building. This would also make it so she’d be able to hide better if it all went to shit.
Allie was given the other files, and Tru watched her. It wasn’t distracting for her, she told her. Tuning her out when she moved was easy for Allie. Using the same pieces that she’d gathered up, Tru laughed way harder than she should have when Allie went into the yard to get some small branches and twigs. Christ, this was going to be epic for all of them.
This file dealt with an outside shooting. Hills were made of rolled balls of paper towels. Small stones were around the “trees” to hold them upright. Allie even took copier paper and drew a little gun, as well as a rifle that had been found at the crime scene. Tru reached out to Rogen and told her that Allie would need an entire set of small guns and weapons.
I was thinking about that. Perhaps she’d be able to make them with the printer. I mean, any modifications that have been made to them as well. Rogen laughed. Who would have thought that our little Allie would have a hidden talent like this? My mind is buzzing with the things she’ll be able to help us with. Even setting up a building with her knowledge will be good for getting things in the right place the first time.
Tomorrow, when this shit starts to show up, someone is going to have to be with her. Her poor little head will explode when she sees what you’ve ordered. I’m sure you went all out and got her everything she might ever need. Rogen said she didn’t want her to be in the middle of a project and need something important. Yes, you and I know that’s how
