He ignited them, which seems a little hasty, blowing himself up and badly wounding both Gina and her travelling companion, Jacinto. ad the trader responded by opening his coat to reveal that he was covered in explosives. Stealing things was Gina's special skill after all, but this decision set off a chain reaction.
