"Not business, exactly. My mother knew him a long time ago. Did he ever mention Dior Del'Unzio?"
"Mmmm . . ." Silence. "That was a long time ago."
"My middle name is Muni. My mother told me that Muni was my father and that he had a brother named Ken. I think you are my uncle." Ken made a sound deep in his throat.
"Mmmm . . . What year were you born? Do you have identification?"
"1958. Yes, I have I.D."
"Mmmm . . . Muni lives in Japan, but he is in California, now. I will try and contact him. I will give him your number."
"Thank you." Oliver gave him the hotel and room number and the name of the hotel in Eugene where he would be staying for a few days the following week. "I live in Maine. He could reach me there, after that." He gave Ken the address.
"I'll see what I can do," Ken said.
"Thank you."
"It may take a while. Muni unpredictable sometimes."
