So, go to a place that rents motion picture sound gear and rent a field
kit with a single-point stereo mike.

The Sanken single-point is popular. A lot of rental places will have
a pair of Schoeps with angled gadgets so they can be put together on
a boom. That's fine too.

Leave yourself PLENTY of headroom.

You may want to look into PZMs (Shure 918 or Crown, etc.)

This outfit can probably help you :

Also, something to consider is the safety of the equipment. Do they know
they are being recorded and cool with it? Or is this for a employer or law
enforcement "intelligence gathering" operation? If it's 'secret' you may
need to worry about size and concealment. And if it's not for a documentary
or reality show but someone is trying to bust them, and they find the mic's,
is would be a costly shame for the equipment to become literally lubed and
torched! ;-)

Try this place: http://www.thespystore.com/microphones.htmHQ

If you are just trying to hear reproducible dialog this stuff works well.
And it's small enough to be placed undetectable in the various paraphernalia
in a garage.

Remove the HQ from the end of that link for it to work. ;-)
