Virgil's hold was weakening.
Logan was starting to panic.
Sure, Virgil said he could throw knives (though he'd never seen it) and he rarely missed, he wasn't sure he could protect Patton... and if anything happened to the small boy, well, Patton had climbed into his heart and loged himself in.
Logan would do anything to keep him safe and — oh crud.

He could dull or elevate someone's emotions ... but he couldn't make them come into being, just alter what was already there.
He'd been planning to make Roman trust him more.
Instead he found Romans most prominent emotion to be fear.
Deep down Roman knew (and had known for a while) that ISSPT would hurt him.
Patton took a deep breath and pulled this fear free from Romans subconscious mere seconds before Virgil lost his grip.

'Wanted, dead or alive'
Somehow, by some unfatomable chances ... ISSPT knew they were in the city
*cough decite and Remus cough*
They needed to
