's not coming today.

Go back.

and come back tomorrow.

Percy starts driving down the road and he sees a tree across the road.

And this is a single lane road through the jungle.

There's nowhere else you can go.

And men with guns come and stick the pistols in through the open windows.

Gun against his head, they pull him out and they go, where's JJ and the mierda gringo boladron?

They said, where's that shithead gringo that flew the drone?

And if either of us had been in the car that day, they would have killed us.

And we know that because they took his wallet, they took his phone, our driver, Percy.

They thank God they didn't hurt him, but they sent a message to us.

They said, let him know.

They said, we missed you this time, but we'll get you next time.

They said, we're going to get you.

And so when JJ called me, he called me and he was howling.

He just had the, you know, that...

adrenaline and that emotion of that it almost happened and so that was that that changed everything and so since then we've been you know it's not counting butterflies and taking ecological surveys it's it's that there's a drug war being fought on our river and now when these roads come in we can't just go out and meet these people anymore and go talk to them because they are actively looking to shoot us they know our names and

And then, as if all these other things weren't enough indication, the police intercepted a phone from someone they arrested.

And on the phone, in the WhatsApp chat, it said, if you see JJ or the gringo, anyone in our network, please kill them.
