stuff they use on TV? Whenever Gunner watches these guys, it
seems like they’ve got fancy laser grids and beeping toys and
things.”
Tucker picked up his coffee cup but didn’t take a sip. “Okay,
don’t go by what they do on TV. Truthfully, a lot of the time they
aren’t even using the basic equipment the right way. What I told you
is really all you’ll need to know for right now. Anything else you
use will just be some sort of variation of one of those. For instance,
some of the cameras will have night vision or infrared capabilities.
Or a vibration sensor will light up rather than make noise like a
motion sensor might, but they’re really the same thing with different
names. There are some really fancy things that have been designed,
but you don’t need to worry about those unless you’re seriously
going to start ghost hunting. And even then you wouldn’t need to
for a while.”
“Is that what Gunner was asking you about?” I asked,
picking up his piece of paper and unfolding it.
“Gunner asked me how to alter a digital camera so it can
have infrared capabilities.”
“Right.” I instantly folded the paper back up again and
slipped it into the front pocket of my shorts. “Well, never mind that.”
I was pretty impressed by everything that I had learned in the
half hour since I’d arrived at Joe Bean’s. I had a basic understanding
of almost all the things they had gone over in the class. The only
thing that I didn’t remember at all was the correct conduction of an
investigation. But I wasn’t completely positive that I wanted to hear
all that yet.
“So, how was work today?” Tucker asked.
It was my turn to look up in surprise. I had really thought he
only was offering to talk about ghost hunting because he had some
experience and I didn’t. But now he was making small talk that was
completely unrelated.
“Work was fine, thanks. I work at the movie theater in
Tremblay. The early shift is a little unpleasant because, well, it’s
early. And it’s slow. Not too many people come to see movies on a
Sunday before noon. But you do get in for five bucks!” I added.
