Hmm, that's true. They shot Spain that trial anyway, so I suppose it wouldn't have made much of a difference in the end...other than the fact that Holden likely wouldn't have figured out there was a second bloodhound and my best friend would still be alive, of course. [yeah he's pretty bitter...]

Still, you could have at least warned him beforehand. He would have probably agreed, he's a sap for that sort of greater good sentimentality.
