.
Tony: What is it Chloe?
Chloe: I tried to call Jack, but he's not answering his phone.
Tony: He's at the hospital with Kim, he probably turned off his phone.
Chloe: I researched the house that blew up, it was owned by Parsons Industries. It was the shell company Ben Gilroy used for his real estate scam.
Tony: Okay.
Chloe: Suppossedly Mason owned it, except the money transfer didn't happen until after the scandal broke.
Tony: Why would Mason buy into the scam after the scandal broke?
Chloe: He wouldn't. Do you remember when Mason helped bust Philip Darcy last year. Darcy's assets were transferred to the custodial account in Langley, three hundred thousand fell out along the way.
Tony: Yeah, Mason was suspected of stealing, but the case was dropped for lack of evidence.
Chloe: Ryan Chapelle was part of the investigation, that's how he had access to the account, and he was part of the investigation into Ben Gilroy. Mason was right, he's being set up by Chapelle.
