Yet I knew that at one point in Colombia, if you could pay $200 to have somebody knocked off. So if I was dressed like I was worth more than $200, I was a target, right? I was dressed like I was worth a shit ton of money, right? Literally the stuff on me was worth tens of thousands of dollars. So, but I was like, okay, I can't be in this place. I don't know if something's gonna happen.

The airport, I definitely can't sleep here. So I'm gonna go grab a Marriott, right? So I... go outside, my first time in Columbia, by myself, not getting picked up by the Navy SEALs. And I texted them and said, hey, sorry, guys, I'll be there tomorrow morning. They said, that's okay. Our meeting with the traffickers isn't until tomorrow afternoon anyway, so we're good.

And I go out and this guy's like, hey, taxi, taxi. I'm like, yeah, yeah, take me to the Marriott. Now, rule number one, don't be dressed like a target when you go to a third world country. Rule number two, don't go with some guy saying, hey, taxi, taxi. You go with a legitimate one, right? So I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'll get in. So I get in this car. And I said, just take me to the Marriott.

And he starts driving. I'm on my phone texting the guy saying, hey, sorry, I'm not there. And I see the Marriott pass on the freeway. He says, Marriott, a key. My Spanish was horrible at the time, and he still is. But he says, no, hotel, hotel. So I'm thinking, okay, maybe he has another exit, whatever. Passes another exit, another exit. I'm like, no, Marriott, Marriott, a key.

He goes, no, hotel, hotel. He takes this exit, dark, shady part of town. like super, super dangerous. And he stops in front of this hotel that looks like you could rent it by the hour, right? There's drug dealers out front, big old thugs out there, a bunch of prostitutes sitting around. He goes, hotel. I said, no, Marriott. He goes, no, hotel. I said, no, Marriott.

Now, I knew, now, undercover work for 10 years, if I've got a still small voice telling me something, I listen. At this point, my inside voice was yelling, do not leave this car. You're going to die. You're going to die right here. I mean, there was no doubt whatsoever. My hair standing up on my neck. I'm like, this guy is working with those guys trying to get me out of here.

And I didn't know what to do. He was just sitting there, hotel, hotel. And finally, you know, I had donated a bunch of money to the Unified Police Department and some others, and they had given me as part of that, they have given me a badge that It was an honorary colonel police badge, and it was in my bag, right? Because I keep it there just in case something happens.
