Back in the truck, Virgil took out the cell phone number for Levon Simonian and called it. Simonian picked up on the second ring, and Virgil asked, “Listen, did Hamlet have a brother?”

After a moment of silence, Simonian said, “Hold on.”

He then muffled the microphone on his phone; Virgil could hear speech-like sounds, but couldn’t tell what was being said. A full minute later, Simonian came back on and said, “Yes. He possibly had a brother.”

“Big guy, powerful? Looked like Hamlet?”

Another few minutes of silence, then somebody in the background blurted, “Oh my God. Did something happen to Hayk?”

Virgil asked, “How do you spell ‘Hayk’? And do you have his birth date?”

He got the name and birth date, called them in to the BCA duty officer, told him to run the name, and also asked him to find a phone number for Chuck Dvorsky, the landlord of the vacant house.

The duty officer put them on hold for a moment, then came back with Dvorsky’s home phone number. Virgil called it. A woman answered and said she was April Dvorsky, Chuck’s wife. She said, “Chuck’s in El Paso, Texas, buying a Porsche 928.”

She said she did the accounting on the rental units their company owned and that the man who’d rented the Frogtown house had moved out before he moved in. “He never did put any furniture in it and then he skipped out on the lease.”

“Big guy, small guy?”

“Kinda small. Not light. Short and a little stout.”

“Has anybody else been in it since?”

“No, nobody—I mean, except to clean and get ready to offer again,” she said. “I was over there this afternoon with the cleaning crew.”

“So it’s been cleaned.”

“Yes, it has.”

Virgil asked her to stay out of the house; he was going to check to see if it would be worthwhile to have a crime-scene crew go over the place. “We can get a warrant, if you want,” he said.

“That’s okay. I’ll stay out and if you decide to send CSI, I’ll meet them there and let them in.”

“Thank you. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
