The guys, they'd say, well, I just want a good opportunity at the job.
Or a sheikh cleric told me to be here.
And that is usually a tip off.
And so I'm in the middle of talking to this dude and another guy comes up and he's like frantic.
And he's yelling, and I know like 13 words in Arabic or whatever, and none of them are very kind.
So I can't tell what he's saying, and I'm asking Carlos, man, help me out here.
I have no idea.
And he says he sees a bomb.
And I said, OK, what kind of bomb?
And he says, a bomb with wires.
So my brain immediately went to trip wire.
No, he said grenade.
I'm sorry, grenade.
That's what it was, grenade.
That's how Carlos translated it to me anyway.
And so I'm thinking tripwire.
So I radio up.
We had internal comms and then external.
So I radioed our team and was like, hey, don't come out here.
There's a tripwire somewhere.
