“You think this guy was his son?”

“Apparently, he had two—Ernst, who works at the cigarette factory, and this one. Remind me to thank Andy Anderson,” he said. “He was very quick; the guy didn’t even have a chance to get off a round.”

“I’ll get him decorated for that,” Dino said.

“If you need an affidavit, let me know.”

Andy Anderson knocked on the door, came in, and set some papers on Dino’s desk. “There’s my account of what happened, Lieutenant,” he said.

“Andy,” Stone said, “thanks for being so quick. You saved my ass.”

“I’m glad I could help,” Andy said. “What can I do now?”

“I don’t guess you’ve heard anything from Hamburg yet,” Dino said.

“Not yet; I’ll call again.”

Stone spoke up. “Andy, when you brought the guy in, you emptied his pockets, didn’t you?”

“Yes; everything’s deposited with the desk sergeant.”

“Get the envelope; let’s see what he had on him,” Dino said.

Andy disappeared.

“What’s our next move?” Dino asked Stone.

“Let’s start at the dry cleaner’s and work outward, distributing the guy’s picture,” Stone said. “If we can find out where he lives, maybe he has some stuff there that will tell us something.”

“Good idea; I’ll get Andy on it.”

Andy returned with a brown envelope and handed it to Dino.

Dino tore open the envelope and dumped the contents onto his desk, and the three men gathered around.

“A little over a hundred bucks in U.S. currency and a bunch of German marks,” Dino said. “No wallet; a key ring with two keys.”

“Outside and inside doors,” Stone said. He opened a folded piece of paper. “And a rent receipt made out to Erwin Hausman.” He read out the address.

“That’s around the corner from the dry cleaner’s,” Andy said.

“That’s a break,” Stone said.

“Yeah,” Dino said, “let’s get over there. He turned to Andy. “Make sure that this doesn’t get into the press yet; I don’t want Mitteldorfer to read about it and run.”

“Uh, Lieutenant,” Andy said, “I’m afraid we got unlucky there.”

“Tell me.”

“There was a camera crew from Channel Four in the neighborhood when the patrolmen arrested the guy. They got the whole thing on tape.”

“Do they know who he is?” Stone asked.

“I don’t know.”

Dino looked at his watch. “We’ve got until the five o’clock news”, he said.

“If they don’t do a bulletin at the top of the hour.”

“Andy, you get on the phone to Channel Four; see if you can get them to hold the story for twenty-four hours. Offer them an exclusive, if you have to.”

“Lieutenant,” Andy replied, “they’ve already got an exclusive.”

“Tell them I’ll do an interview if they’ll hold it for twenty-four hours.”
