You're Missing The Point

Antonio joined Teresa, Jay and Voight back at 51 as they continued to work on the case.

Barely two hours later, Severide showed up at 21st with a box of files.

"I thought you were going home," he says as Jay hands some papers to Teresa.

"No rest for the weary." Jay replies. "What's up?"

"Is your sergeant here?" Boden asks.

"Yeah, he's in his office with Antonio."

"Good." Boden says as he and Severide head there. "He's gonna want to hear this."

Teresa stands up and follows them, staying next to Severide as Boden puts some photos on Voight's desk.

"So I've dealt with my fair share of arsonists over the years. And the thing that a lot of them have in common is they build up to the first blaze, the first bomb."

"Yeah, like that guy that targeted your sister." Voight says to Antonio.

"Gish." Antonio confirms.

"You shot him." Jay points out.

"In an elevator stall, yeah."

"Yeah, except this guy isn't a typical arsonist." Voight says to Boden and Severide. "He's a journalist. He just snapped when the story he was working on doubled back on him."

"Still he chose bombs, he chose fire, he didn't chose a gun." Boden says.

"Mm."

"So maybe that's something that he built up to." Boden suggests.

"And George Lehr helped him do it."

"Right. He doesn't want to practice in his home, in case someone notices."

"Yeah, we checked his house. It's clean." Voight confirms.

"Right, but twice in the last six months, the CFD has been called out to this property." Boden points at a house marked with an 'x' on the statelite photo. "This is two blocks away from his residence. It's got a nice little work shed in the back. And the neighbors, they phoned it in when they saw smoke."

"I was on one of these calls." Severide speaks up. "The man that answered the door said it was just a little experiment that had gone awry. He said he was a carpenter or something. I didn't get a good look at him, he had a hoodie on. Thought it was weird, but I didn't flag it. We get a lot of false alarms."

"Think it was Shepard?" Teresa asks.

"I couldn't pick him out of a lineup, but yeah, it could've been."

"Let's see who owns this property on West Patterson." Voight says.

"All right, I'm on it." Jay gets out of the office and goes to his desk.

"Antonio, let's roll on this address. I want to see who answers the door." Voight says as they all start making their way out of his office. "Hey. Thank you. Thanks." Voight says as he shakes Severide's and then Boden's hands.

"Hey, Sarge, this address on West Patterson, it's owned by a company named Starlight Properties. They got a PO box." Jay says as he checks it on his computer.

"Hey. You say Starlight?" Teresa says as she quickly makes her way to Jay's side and Boden and Severide stop walking to see what they had already found out.

"Yeah."

"There's an e-mail on Lehr's laptop from Starlight Properties." Teresa says looking at the men around her.

"This is our guy." Jay affirms with confidence.

"All right, everybody gear up." Voight says. "We'll see you there," he points at Boden and Severide.
