Clay presented Hopper with three different Ziploc bags, each with separate “evidence” from Adrian Payne’s bathroom drawer. Luke had his search warrant and a crew of two forensics experts in tow, and they departed for the storage shed as soon as Clay arrived. They parked back in the Depot parking lot. Once they ascertained that Mortonson wasn’t in his office, Hopper headed for the maintenance building and found Roberto Gomez. “Robbie, I need you to open up the storage shed closest to South Oak Street. I have a warrant to search the building.” “What’s up, Copper?” That wasn’t a wise thing to say. Hopper glared at Roberto in a way that made Gomez backtrack with amazing speed. “I mean Hopper. Chief Hopper. I’m sorry, Chief.” “Grab your keys, and let’s go, Robbie. Police business.” It took a few minutes to make the walk, which was done mostly in uncomfortable silence. Once there, Roberto unlocked the shed and stepped aside. There was a light inside, but the crew had ultraviolet lights as well, and a quiet but thorough search was made.
