I was just doing my job!
My bosses had taken on a contract, I suspect without the government's knowledge, to provide help and security to a group of Germans who were working on some secret project out in the middle of nowhere. I still have no idea what they were doing out there, but they weren't the sort of people you'd want to ask too many questions, so I just shut up and did my work.

Sure enough, there was a security breach when some foreign guy started snooping around. The Germans were getting very upset as this guy was somehow single-handedly managing to really mess up their project and cause a lot of sabotage. He had some woman with him who was not exactly helping matters, so we managed to grab her and restrain her while they were out in a crowded market.

The guy went nuts and started raising hell trying to find her, knocking into people and tearing apart innocent businesses. I heard the commotion and got over there as fast as I could. The crowd parted, giving me my first good look at him.

He wasn't very impressive- dirty, dressed in old beat-up clothes and a battered hat, unshaven. No problem- I can handle this idiot. I pulled out my weapon and brandished it so he'd know that I meant business and wouldn't take any crap from him, chuckling to myself at how easy this would be.

Only thing is, he didn't reach for his whip- he pulled out a gun.

Bastard.
