And inside... The stubs from the gunshot residue test that were labeled robe. And I took the photo, I texted it to Dwight, and just said, jackpot. And then I had to go through the rest of those boxes like I was still looking for something else and act like it wasn't a big deal. And I was ecstatic.

And said, all right, I know they're there. I have photographs of it. I know they're there. Send me the results. And then they sent them.
