A flashback to the prep van. Dan hands me his new 92fs and by habit I turn the safety on as I hand it back to him. I think... I just killed Dan then my fears are realized.

Why were the two of you handing a loaded handgun back and forth?
Proper protocol would have called for Dan first clearing the gun before handing it to you, and you doing the same before handing it back.
Doing this would have made it academic whether you had turned the safety on unbeknownst to Dan. He would have reloaded his weapon, doing all that reloading his weapon entails. I imagine that would have included inserting a mag, dropping the hammer via decocker (which on a 92fs is also the safety) and then replacing the safety to the off mode, ready to fire double action on a live chambered round.
