[Most of it is greed, but Rocket's also invested in making sure this isn't a trap. It would be a good one. As he shoves off a loose lid and notes the contraband within- it's all real, so Tesak didn't take them to a decoy- he looks upwards...
And notes movement in the rafters.
Of course.
Rocket slaps 76 on the arm to get his attention. There's a brief flicker of light as someone ignites something up there, and even with Rocket having eyes on it, he doesn't have time to pull his gun and fire before the flaming arrow strikes one of the crates and a small explosion rocks the building, scattering contraband and making the entire thing shake on its foundation, the walls threatening to collapse from the sudden assault.
Rocket only has time to leap off the edge of the crate and duck and cover his head and gets a deeply singed tail in spite of it. Once the explosion has subsided, he can take stock- a small localized one, meant to deter, not destroy everything. There's still a lot of crates that aren't harmed. The sniper in the rafters appears to be holding with no indication whether he's the only one or not, and Tesak crosses over to them.
"Now that I have your attention, I'm gonna need some assurances you two aren't Ryder scum. There's only two ways out of here- loyalty to me and my group or stuffed into one of those crates and left to rot in the swamp. What's it gonna be, boys?"]
