-
The killer must've found out
-
that Mikhail was selling secrets,
-
which made him the perfect patsy.
-
All they had to do was make sure
-
that Mikhail was unaccounted for during Tom's murder.
-
That and plant the weapon at his drop-off point.
-
Killing two birds with one stone --
-
Tom, whom everybody hated,
-
and Mikhail, who was selling secrets.
-
So they sent Mikhail to engineering,
-
where he would be blind to everything that happened.
-
Only he didn't stay there.
