A/N: Set in S02E09.

Kendall is surrounded by people congratulating him over his performance in front of Congress. Even Nate comes over to give him a hug and say, "Nothing personal, man." He should feel proud of himself but can't stop replaying sitting by his father facing the firing squad.

For a moment he had been genuinely concerned about his father, Logan had seemed so doddery and confused he'd thought he might be having another stroke. But then he'd pointed at Kendall and said clearly, "I think my son was across operations at that time."

Of course, Kendall was the next best thing after Logan. The buck wasn't going to stop with Tom, or Bill, or fucking Greg, or even someone important like Gerri. It has to be a Roy who gets thrown to the wolves.

And really, after what he did, he should pay.

"Hey." Shiv sidles up to him, patting his arm. "You did good."

"Thanks. So did you."

"Yeah. I talked one of Mo's many victims out of testifying. I feel just great about it."

"You did the right thing for the family." Before he can comfort his sister further, Kendall is distracted by a news alert on his phone, about a hostage situation in Turkey. Staring at the screen, he holds it out to Shiv. "Isn't that Rome's hotel?"

"What?" Shiv takes the phone. Kendall takes it back and unlocks it with his fingerprint so she can read the story. "No. It can't be. Is it?"

"I'll call him." Kendall grabs the phone back. He calls Roman's number. "When did you last talk to him?"

"Uh, this morning. He was fine."

"He's not answering. I'll go get Dad." Kendall pushes his way through the crowd, looking around for his father, Shiv at his heels.

"Hey, Kenny!" Connor grabs him by the shoulders. "Proud of you, little brother. Have you heard of the Conheads?"

"Uh, not now, Con. Roman might be in trouble."

"Roman?" Connor frowns.

"Where's Dad?"

"He went out there with Rhea." Connor points.

"Okay." Kendall heads for the door, leaving Shiv to explain to Connor.

Logan is pacing up and down in the hall. "She quit," he growls when he sees Kendall. "Fucking Rhea quit as CEO. Something about sinking ships. She thinks we're fucked."

"We may have something bigger to worry about." Kendall hands his father the phone. "I think Roman's at this hotel."

"Yeah, he is," says Logan, reading the article. "Did you call him?"

"Yeah, no answer."

"Dad?" Shiv comes out, followed by Connor. "What's happening? Is Roman there?"

"He'll be fine," says Logan, still scanning the article. "No casualties so far."

"Casualties?" repeats Shiv. Connor puts his arm around her. "Who are these people holding them hostage?"

"It'll be okay," says Kendall. "They've got no reason to hurt Roman."

"Unless he starts running his mouth, or…"

"Your brother's smarter than that," says Logan. "No need to panic." He seems calmer about his son being held at gunpoint than his CEO quitting.

"What do we do?" says Connor, looking white. "Can we call Turkish police?"

"Yeah. Leave it with me." Logan goes to make some calls, leaving Kendall staring at his siblings.
