Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect

Wyatt has been stabbed in the throat with a Gemini pen. Simone’s blue scarf is wrapped around one of his hands, and the room has been torn apart. Fulton moves Brooke away from the scene, telling her that she’s too young to see what has happened inside the room. Wolfgang pages through a Henry McTavish manuscript titled Life, Death and Whiskey, announcing that it’s a piece of literary fiction, not a Morbund novel. They all discuss who has Gemini pens. Royce clearly had one during the gathering in the bar carriage. McTavish likely had one, and Fulton admits that she might have one at home somewhere. Majors points out two Gemini pens still in their cases next to the opened, empty safe and notes that there could easily have been a third. Aaron arrives and says that they have no alternative but to continue to the next station, at Manguri near Coober Pedy. They’ll then proceed to Adelaide without stopping. He orders everyone back to their rooms. As Ernie heads back, he asks Fulton about her comment that today he’d believe she was the killer. She doesn’t answer, and he tells her that he doesn’t think she’s the killer but believes there’s something she wants to use McTavish’s book to say to the public.
