colon help!

After a brief struggle, one of the criminals is apprehended, leaving the other with a daunting decision: to help his friend or bail.



I'm just wondering is I need to write 'to' or not after the colon?

Just a comment, not related to the colon: The word "bail" my not be a good choice here because of it's strong link to going to jail and then being released on bail. You're talking about a criminal who has been apprehended, so the first association with the word "bail" is that one, not the one that mans to desert a task.
