Ep 38 - Gari with an "I"

by Anton Rossini

Tue, 26 January 2021
 
Oxford discovers that Mason Family Holdings are the biggest owners of funeral homes and mortuaries in the country, and also have investments in environmental and medical concerns.
 
Anton arises, prepares himself for the meeting, then takes the car service to collect the others from Maladay's apartment before driving to the meeting near the Telstra Dome.
On the top (fifth) level, Anton tells the driver to park and he and Larissa walk towards the black SUVs at the other end of the floor, where he sees three "heavies" with earphones covering a smallish guy in the centre.
 
Gari appears to be very young and flighty, behaving much like a ditzy teenager, but clearly takes a fancy to Anton (and Larissa), so Anton turns on the seduction charm. Gari advises that "everyone is a businessman", that she needs to vet and become friends with anyone who wants to get involved with Goliath, and that she can arrange a meeting but we need to take care of a job for her to prove our worth...
She is trying to get renovations done at 21 McMillan Road, St Kilda, but the builders are refusing to complete the work, but she is very vague and Anton compels her to tell him the full details.
The short answer seems to be that there is apparently a "ghost" in the apartment. Gari wants Anton to force the builders to get on with the work they have been commissioned to do without doing any damage to the properly.
 
When Oxford shows Anton and Larissa what she has found out about Mason, Anton spots that the address of the property is shown as an item on the financial documents.
On the drive out to St Kilda, Oxford further discovers that Interstory Holding Trust bought the property three years ago for $3.2m; previous owner was Professor Emitus from Latrobe University. It is a modern (10 years old) three-storey building with private garden and beach., with boat shed and private dock. Oxford also find a floor layout: it has seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a jacuzzi on the roof, and notes that it includes a panic room on both the ground and 3rd floors.
 
 
As they arrive at the property, they see contractor's vehicles parked outside (at night!), and a sign sitting atop the wrought iron gates: Mason Estate.
The gates swing open for us as if on command.
