So we would go and do these hits and eventually realize when we turn over the, you know, anybody that was a potential threat or issue, the Nigerians would take and cut their hands off on the side of the road.

Typical African stuff.

They didn't take prisoners because they don't get paid like I talked about earlier.

And then one night we're down there, this kid comes in, and I'm not going to say his name, but he...

says travis i know where place is and i'm like get the out of here man you're not supposed to be here i don't want these people knowing that you associate with us he was so adamant i said all right it let's go so we we jump in the vehicle we did a five-point contingency plan we jump in the vehicle we drive down the road uh which is right around the back and i said hey if we're not back in 45 minutes this is the approximate location we're going to be and we walk up same thing i knock on the door and uh

There's a guy sitting on a box in a little tiny room about the size of a large closet.

A couple candles lit in the room, and he had a mattress on the floor right around the corner, which the kid told me that there was a couple RPGs and AKs in there.

And so I knock on the door, and he's got a... I could see an AK beside him, which they could have a rifle in their house.

We didn't give a fuck.

They were trying to protect themselves, but they just couldn't have caches and be selling guns.

Um...

So I said, hey, you know why I'm here?

And he goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, yes, I know who you are.

I said, okay, can we talk?

And he goes, no, you get out of my house.

How dare you insult me?

And I'm like, okay, this is different.

Just never had this conversation.

Normally like, yes, come in, come in.

You're the Marines that are helping us.
