[DUEL RESOLUTION: The Sheriff throws his gun into the fire. The Assassin shoots the beam holding the child, freeing her, then aims at the unarmed Sheriff. VALUE TWIST: The Assassin's efficiency values freedom - he was paid to kill the child's father, not her. He leaves. "Don't follow me. You have no bullets for your God now."] Setting: Midnight. A saloon. Only the assassin and the sheriff remain. Candles flicker. I live by consequences
