Basic Plot Outline: So Dacaran here is a CorpSec officer, and his best friend is also an agent. Dacaran generally feels unfulfilled and unrewarded by his work as a beat cop mostly solving domestic disputes, returning to his dingy apartment every night, and and strives for more. Dacaran's new partner, is a corrupt cop. He lets Dacaran in on a little extra cash from a drug bust "So what if a drug dealer who makes more than I ever will in a lifetime loses money, and that money doesn't get to evidence?" That kinda thing. Things go fine for a while, before aforementioned best friend gets suspicious and begins to investigate the pair. Dacaran tries to talk his friend down, appealing to their relationship, but best friend is unwavering in his morals (better cop than Dacaran ever was, basically) and promises to go to Internal Affairs. Corrupt guy says that the only solution to prevent him from going to Internal Affairs is to bump him off, and initially Dacaran refuses profusely. But after thinking it over for a while, and realizing the shit he'll be in if he doesn't stop his friend now, Dacaran decides to help Corrupt Guy orchestrate a crime scene on best friend's next mission to make it look like a junkie with a blaster. Of course, Dacaran will be extremely guilty for aiding in the murder of his friend, and hates himself for it, but masks it under blaming corrupt guy for getting him in the "business" in the first place. Dacaran eventually decides he has "nothing to lose" anymore, so he descends further into the criminal underworld.
How would I go about adding more layers to this plot? How would I go about Dacaran working up the courage to murder his buddy? Dacaran is inherently greedy and ambitious, but he also thinks of his friend as brother, so his morals could be compromised by his desire for more out of his life.
