Chapter 6

Jeremy had spent a long time the night before planning his day. He knows what has to be investigated and decides that he will waste no time setting about to unlock the mystery. He knows that there is more to the great Chicago fire than what has come out, and commits himself to unlocking the facts to help those like Julie Nancarrow who want answers.

Carter Gibson has a number of commercial matters that need property searches at the Cook County Recorder of Deeds. Normally Jeremy would find the commercial side of law a little mundane but today he decides to use his time wisely, and he wants to again look at the property transfers that took place with respect to the Lincoln Square industrial estate. He takes a lot more notes than when he last visited the Cook County office, and notices that there are a number of transfers in succession both before and after the fire. Jeremy is curious and writes down the names of the private companies so that he can do company searches when he is back in his office. Before he leaves Jeremy decides to search the property ownership of John Mason. He is curious and notes that the property was purchased for a sizeable sum of money.

No sooner back in the office and Jeremy starts to go over the lengthy list of private companies that relate to the transfer of owners of the Lincoln Square industrial estate. There are transfers between several related companies, and the ownership of some companies has a common thread, but there is one name that is detailed that Jeremy knows. He ponders and believes that he is starting to slowly get a better picture of what may have taken place. Jeremy also notices something that he had previously overlooked. Stevens, Walker and Sunderland had leases for their respective businesses, yet both Steven’s daughter Julie Nancarrow and Sunderland’s wife Lauren Wilks clearly stated that the three businessmen owned the land. A transfer of land is recorded and in exchange leases were raised in their names which were later cancelled when the new development went up. Jeremy sits back and stares at the ceiling in the small office he has locked himself in. His notes and company searches are spread out on the large desk in the office and he occasionally looks down at them, as he cups his chin in his hand, smiles and ponders what he has discovered.

Jeremy’s day has been a long and successful one. But he is focused on the evening ahead and has plans to meet with Superintendent Golding and also Lauren Wilks. There are still questions, but Jeremy is starting to feel that he knows what took place and is keen to bring things to a conclusion and those responsible to justice. The evening comes around after Jeremy prepares himself a light dinner and stays indoors. He goes over what he has discovered and like a jigsaw his notes are spread over his kitchen bench where he sits and sips on a glass of white wine.
