Just a quick thought: Why is it, in books and films etc, characters often tell other characters to guard something or someone with their life? I mean, it's silly really. Your life is not a weapon with which you can prevent others from destroying whatever you are trying to protect. (I know it sounds like knife (thanks Mum), but it's really not the same thing!) Also, something else silly about that phrase is that if you actually die trying to protect whatever you are guarding, then you're simply dead, and the effective baddies can get right at whatever you were trying to save. As you can't really pick yourself off the floor with a 'sorry guys, I was only kidding around when I dropped to the ground after you hit me with all those bullets, and I have to say, that fake blood worked a treat.' You'd be much better off if you just ran for it to be honest.
Also, there are very few things that I believe are worth actually dieing for, and none of those are large diamonds or nuclear weapon secrets.
