My team was given the idea to go knock on his door and ask him to come back with us. We were also encouraged not to get caught in this area, due to it being very bad for relationships on a political level. My team accepted this idea, secured a very good travel plan, then went to visit one evening.

We drove up to the house, we knocked, invited ourselves in, secured our travel guest, and his electronics. Nobody can leave their phone, laptops, or hard drives behind. The suv that we drove in, decided to drop a valve on the edge of town. We call AAA, they don’t serve that area, we call the boss for another company vehicle to come get us. The boss said, “Figure it the **** out.” then hung up.

So we walked a few more miles outside of town, waited for a vehicle to show up. Eventually one showed up. We asked politely if we could borrow it, when we were turned down after a polite asking. We stepped it up and took the car, made it back to where we crossed. Some friends met us there, where we loaded our guest, his stuff, and the guy who wouldn’t let us borrow his car into a waiting suv. Those 2 were taken back to a waiting helicopter, my team and I drove our sweet car back to base.
