* ''{{Monster}}'' has fun with this. After the death of the Baby, Petr Capek is paranoid that his bodyguards are trying to kill him at Johan's request. This leads to him killing a bodyguard while the man is reaching for his lighter, thinking that the bodyguard was trying to grab a gun. This in turn causes his other bodyguards to shoot him, in retaliation for him killing one of their innocent comrades.

* Norman Spinrad's ''Agent of Chaos'' starts with an assassination attempt on the Coordinator. The initial phase of the attempt involves ten guys blasting with lasers to draw the attention of the bodyguards -- so they won't notice in time to stop one of their own turning and shooting the Coordinator.
* TimothyZahn's ''The Backlash Mission'' has bodyguards subjected to [[{{Brainwashing}} "loyalty conditioning"]]. One guard in particular knows '''very''' well how much reason he has to want a certain official dead, but loyalty conditioning means he'd give his life to defend the man. And then [[spoiler:he gets dosed with a drug that neutralizes]] the conditioning....

This is due to him sleeping with the First Lady, though. The real traitor is doing this to protect his family. He does get a RedemptionEqualsDeath ending, however.
