Chapter 6

‘Robbery Homicide Detective, Robert Hunter,’ he answered it.

‘Detective, this is Daniel Figueroa from Operations. I have the information on the subject you’ve requested earlier, but I don’t seem to have an email address for you.’

‘I don’t think it has been set up yet,’ Hunter replied. Thinking about it, he probably didn’t even have a desk or a computer set up either. ‘Just tell me what you’ve got.’

‘OK,’ Daniel said. ‘Mr. Jake Goubeaux, thirty-five years old, residing in Hawthorne, number thirty-one, West 129th Street. He works as a soundman in a place called Rooster’s in West Hollywood. They have live music every night.’

‘Yes, I know the place,’ Hunter said.

‘Well,’ Daniel continued. ‘Mr. Goubeaux has been arrested five times in the past four years – twice for drunk and disorderly conduct, and three times for assault. He put an ex-girlfriend in hospital, and that cost him five months in the CSP in Lancaster. According to the judge who sentenced him, one more strike and Mr. Goubeaux is going to be gone for a long time.’

‘Great job, Daniel. Have we got a mug shot of him?’

Daniel chuckled. ‘Yeah, we’ve got about five of those. The most recent is only about a year old.’

‘Give me a sec,’ Hunter said, covering the phone’s mouthpiece with his palm. ‘Do you have a fax machine in your black and white?’ he asked Travis.

He nodded. ‘I do, yes.’

Hunter return to his phone. ‘Daniel, can you fax the most recent one of those to squad car . . .’ he looked at Travis, who mouthed the numbers eight, three, five, one, seven. Hunter repeated them down the line.

‘On its way,’ Daniel said.

‘Thanks, Daniel.’

Hunter disconnected.

‘Any developments?’ the officer asked.

Hunter quickly ran him through the news.

‘OK,’ Hunter said. ‘I need you to go down to your car, wait for the photo of Mr. Jake Goubeaux, and then return to apartment 2808 to talk to Mr. Grant again. Show him the photograph, and see if he can identify Mr. Goubeaux as the person he saw leaving this floor late on Monday night. I’m going to go down to apartment 1514 and see if I can speak with Rashana Lewis. I’ll meet you back up here in about half an hour.’
