under my feet. The furniture was destroyed, pieces of paper that had been destroyed by bullets had settled onto the floor like a light snow and stuffing from chairs made small piles. It looked like a hillside from one of those fake winter towns my mother would make on the table every holiday season before she was brutally taken from me by the same instrument of destruction that had caused this damage.
    Grey looked up from the dustpan and broom that he was working with. “Do you need some time?” Rosie imagined a little apron on him while he worked and she couldn’t help but smile a little.
    “No, I’m fine. I just have to get this done. I have to get this all cleaned up.” Her smile faded as she talked. This was going to be a long day; they had so much work to do. Kevin had gone to the office first thing in the morning to finish all of the paperwork that came with any tragedy of this type, especially when there are two FBI agents in the office of one of their consultants.
    “I think that we could hire someone to do it.” Grey brushed his hair back while he worked. The summer sun beating through the broken windows had made the room swelter, but they couldn’t turn the air conditioner on, because the cold air would just rush outside as soon as possible. He couldn’t stop the sweat from pouring into his eyes, and the reflections off of the broken glass from blinding him for a second at a time,  several times a minute.
    Rosie would have loved for someone to be there to do it for her, but she wasn’t sure that she would be comfortable with another intrusion like that. “I would love to hire a professional but I can’t risk someone going through my files. The work I do for the government has to be kept secret.” She tried to make it look like she was shrugging the suggestion off; trying to make it seem like that was just it. She was shaking as she reached down and picked up a ragged piece of glass the size of her head.
    Grey looked at her. He knew that she was lying, but didn’t know what he could do to make her feel a little better. “What do you need me to do?”
    Rosie rose again and surveyed the room. She looked over everything. “We’re going to have to sort through everything by hand. I can’t just throw out sensitive documents. Let’s start by getting all of the glass cleaned up and piling up everything else over there.” She pointed to a corner of the room. “Then I can sort through it as I need to.”
    “Are you sure that’s what you want to do?” He was trying to be understanding, but his words just came out as slightly insulting.
    Rosie was quick to pick up the unintended meaning of his words. “What are you talking about? Of course it’s what I want to do. What would you have me do, just throw everything out so every criminal that digs through the trash can get a hold of stuff that I don’t want to get out.”
    “I didn’t mean it that way-“
    She cut him off before he could continue. “Of course you didn’t mean it that way. I’ve already informed your partner of this, so now I’m going to tell you. I know what type of work I’m in. I understand it and get the danger part of it. I’m not an idiot, or some sort of princess looking for a savior to come and make me a stay at home mom. I’m happy, and if the people around me can’t be happy for me they’re welcome to leave.” Her hands were on her hips. She wasn’t shouting, but her voice was firm and strong, demanding respect.
    “I wasn’t trying to protect you. I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t want to call someone about the window first.”
    “Don’t you think I’ve already called them? They’re coming at noon.” She was frustrated at being made to feel like she had made a mistake, so her voice was a little strained as she answered him. She was getting defensive.
    “I’m sorry. It looks like you’ve got this under control. Just shout orders and I’ll do whatever needs to be done.” Grey was taunting her
