The Moment of Decision- Drabble

For the moment time seemed to stand still. De Soto was still too shocked about his discovery of his archenemy. Diego de la Vega was Zorro! And now he had Diego's life in his hand. With the loaded pistol in his hand he had to make a decision. He could either stand by and watch the emissary kill Diego de la Vega and escape with one of the de la Vega horses, or he could save Diego's life by killing the emissary. De Soto's finger pulled the trigger and aimed. The emissary fell to the ground and de Soto stared at the scene. Had he gained redemption by saving Zorro or was he a murderer by killing a man from behind? De Soto didn't know, but he felt relieved for making the right decision for once in his life.
