...on at a slight angle to your partner, maybe five or six metres away along one battered railing of the archaic span. Your weapon cocked and ready, Cole gestures to the others and their leader steps forward. They clench wrists in a sign of mutual respect, then proceed with the negotiations.

Mere moments later, Cole utters an oath under his break and backs away from the man representing the other side. "You bastards. This isn't what we agreed on."

Before he has a chance to react, the leader of those you came to meet draws his weapon and shoots Cole in the head. Your partner crumples to the ground, lifeless, his right eye a gaping wound.

*$%*. Now what?

The other man looks towards you and gestures you forward. You walk up to him, trying not to look at uncertain as you feel.

"I know you have the authority to make this deal — Cole wasn't your superior, he was your equal. Will you do what he wouldn't?"

Your answer:

Pull out your weapon and shoot the man for taking out your partner.

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
