Joey came to tell me about the person who came in. He told me that they are a gender-neutral person named Charlie. They used to go to a college in a nearby town and as they were making their way to the base the Raiders kidnapped them. What Joey told me they did to them was disgusting.

"They cut out their tongue," He said with a horrified tone, "It was so mangled and gruesome."

He told me how the Raiders used them as a guinea pig and tried their crafted weapons on their skin to see if the knives were sharp enough. How they would send them in first when they broke into places so if anyone got shot it was Charlie. They got so tired of hearing them scream that they finally cut out their tongue, and a week after they did it Charlie decided to risk their life to escape.

"They were at that camp for three months," Joey told me. I had gone quiet since it was clear he just needed someone to hear him. No one was ready for this, "They wrote down about how they tried to kill themselves and when that didn't work they made a break for it... they didn't care if they died or not."

I put a comforting hand on Joey, "They are safe now."

Joey just shook his head, "I know... I just never thought that anyone could do something like this."

I nodded my head. These Raiders are getting deadlier and deadlier as the days go by and if they come for us we might not be able to stop them.
