What really happened

Tom sits on the plane, twiddling his thumbs nervously. He's just called Roman to check if he's fired Gerri yet, but really to find out where everyone is. Everything is in place, all four siblings are on the boat. Time to put the next phase of the plan into action.

"Are you okay, Logan?" he asks, trying not to sound too scripted. "You look a little pale."

"Fine," Logan growls, not taking his eyes off his phone. "Has Romulus fired Geraldine yet?"

"Not yet. Give him a little longer."

Logan grunts, looking out the window and clutching his chest slightly. Tom has to admire his subtle and restrained acting.

Frank, Karl and Karolina talk about how the negotiation with Matsson will go while Kerry makes small talk with Logan and Tom. Logan seems distracted, which works fine.

Logan's phone is constantly buzzing with WiFi calls and messages, most of which he ignores. Finally he looks at the call screen and frowns. "Voicemail from Romulus."

"Right," says Tom, wondering if this is part of the plan. "Maybe he's done it?"

"I need to take this somewhere private." Logan takes his phone and stomps off into the airplane toilet. Tom takes a deep breath and waits for the signal.

After a few minutes, Logan's voice bellows from inside the cubicle, "Am I a what?"

Frank and Karl look nervously in the direction of the toilet. "I'll check on him," says Tom hastily, sliding off his seat. He goes and knocks on the toilet door, feeling for the syringe in his pocket. "Logan? Are you alright?"

"Fuck off!" Logan roars back, sounding genuinely furious. Tom quickly retreats to his seat.

"He's fine," he tells the others. Kerry nods, straight-faced.

After another couple of minutes, there's a thud from inside the cubicle. Tom and the others look at each other with genuine concern. It sounded like someone falling.

"I'll go," says Tom, standing up. Slowly, wondering how on earth he ended up in this position, he goes and taps on the door again. "Logan?" The door isn't locked and he pulls it open to see Logan sprawled on the floor, his phone floating in the toilet.

"Logan?" Tom bends down, taking the syringe out of his pocket. Logan keeps his eyes closed, like they had agreed. Before any of the others can come running, Tom jabs the needle into Logan's arm and administers the sedative. To someone not looking too closely, he'll appear unalive.

After disposing of the syringe in the cistern, Tom raises his voice. "Logan! I need help in here!"

There are footsteps as the others come running. Kerry gets there first. "Logan? Oh, my God." She looks horrified to see her boyfriend in that state.

Frank pushes Kerry aside. "Tom?"

"I need help," calls Tom. "Help me move him out there. Kerry, get the medics."

Kerry runs to get Logan's paid medics while Frank and Karl help Tom carry Logan out of the cubicle and into the corridor of the plane.

"What happened?" says Karolina. Tom can see her already mentally preparing a press statement.

"He, uh, I think he was listening to his voice messages?" Tom babbles, resisting the temptation to tell Frank and Karl to move away from Logan. Don't look too closely.

"Stand back!" calls one of the medics as they come racing through. Tom breathes a sigh of relief. "We need to check his vitals."

It's out of Tom's hands now, the fake-out. It's nothing to do with him, really. "I need to call Shiv."
