He hesitated to disengage the safety, fearing a panicked misfire.

Even now, with no way out, he had never thought of taking Amber's life.

As long as there was a sliver of hope, he wanted to take Amber away with him.

Jameson no longer cared about him.

At a crucial juncture, Jameson would even sell him out.
