He Had no Choice

The prompt words for today's 5 to 50/55 challenge in bold.

The German lurked in the shade rolling a $100 casino chip in his fingers, his tongue occupied by the piece of dirty rice stuck between two molars. The caller said the information was damaging, something no one should know. The German gripped the gun in his coat pocket. After today, no one besides him would.
