Three standoffs, all at the same time.
The two business leaders, staring at each other across a table.
The two computer experts, staring at hacking subroutines' progress bars.
The two low-level criminals, staring at the gun the other one held.
Eventually each one would be broken by outside forces, the government, the internet, the cops. But both sides, all sides, didn't want to be the one to break the stalemate.
Something had to give.
Eventually, one of the criminals shot upwards to give up.
Severing a hacker's power line, and ricocheting into a board room occupant several floors above them.
