English term or phrase: ''waiting arms''.
Alguém poderia me ajudar com uma tradução aceitável para esse termo?
Desde já muito obrigado.

Aqui está a frase com o termo:

''But then he remembered his wait wouldn’t be long, as his client was preparing to lure the target out into the Scorpion's waiting arms''.

Portuguese translation:nas garras do Escorpião/ de braços abertos na armadilha
Explanation:
Sugestão. Faltou um pouco mais de contexto para identificar se 'Scorpion' se trata de algum personagem ou se faz parte do termo.

Bom como se trata de um personagem de literatura, você pode utilizar essa metáfora 'nas garras do Escorpião' referindo se a uma armadilha.
