Ann and Glenna have come to spy out the death camp and find out how the prisoners are doing. They are in invisibility mode.
THE GOD GAMES: Legend of KOR...Chapter Eighteen
The gentleman in the bed we were standing beside suddenly went into a horrible round of coughing. We saw he had only one thin blanket that barely covered his shoulders and chest. His body was skin and bones and was shaking so hard that you could hear his bones knocking together.
This coughing seemed to increase and soon half of the persons in the barracks were also coughing. The guard jumped up from his chair and yelled at the top of his lungs, "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Do you want a taste of my whip?"
There were terrible gasping and gurgling noises as the prisoners tried not to cough, but they could not stop the paroxysms and the coughs actually increased in volume.
The guard picked up his whip and began to go from bed to bed whipping blindly at all of the prisoners.
"Look, Ann, he's bleeding." The prisoner in the bunk we stood near, was coughing up blood. The guard reached his bed and laughed at the blood and said, "Double blows for you!" He proceeded to whip the poor prisoner until he was unconscious.
We were outraged, and felt like killing the guard ourselves, so we left the barracks as quickly as we came. We went into several other barracks. Some held all women, some held children, but most were filled with men. All of the prisoners were coughing and most of them were crying and begging to die.
Then we came across a large barrack filled with light and music. We looked through the windows and saw that there was a big party going on. There was beer and a band, many female prisoners, and soldiers who were off duty. The women seemed to be half-dressed, and the soldiers were pawing their bodies as they danced together.
We went through the rest of the compound stopping to look in each barrack. The scenes we saw were despicable. Everyone seemed to have deep, rumbling coughs, and almost everyone was moaning from pain. We saw a group of women staggering toward the latrines. The latrines were simply big buckets to use for all bathroom needs. They were gross, as they were only emptied once or twice a week, and they were constantly overflowing. You could not keep clean in the camps as there was nowhere to wash your hands or bodies. Another problem was eating with dirty hands. There was no silverware, you had to use your hands to eat. Gog really knew how to make a person feel like an animal-like a hog kept in his own feces day after day.
We found several weak spots in the fences surrounding the camps, and we saw that in the nighttime, the guards played games and drank, and only occasionally spent their time watching the prisoners.
We had found our answers, so we thought-traveled back to the ship, where Tom and Ed were talking over their experience. We traded stories and the boys were sick when they heard our story.
"Another week-or at least, five more days-and we assassinate Gog, attack the Selves, then free the Vouns, Wales, and Emons. Let's pray to ONE to protect us from the Selve soldiers. After our prayer, we went back to bed for a few hours of sleep and rest.
When we woke up we fixed breakfast with hot chocolate and began to gather all of the things we were taking with us; enough to last for several weeks. I made sandwiches and salads for the men when they came on Sunday, then Glenna and I cleaned up the ship. We were then ready to go back to the armory.
On Wednesday, the four of us traveled to the Wale armory. A lot was going on without us, and we were very happy. General Oates had moved the Emon soldiers, with food and supplies, from the Wale-Emon border, and the ocean border, marching them toward the Selve-Emon border. He had left the border at 5 a.m., on Monday. General Patrick had also moved the Voun soldiers off of the Voun-Wale border, and ocean borders, on Monday, and was pressing on to the Selve-Voun border, and Lieutenant Stars moved the Wale soldiers from the Wale-Voun, Wale Emon, and ocean borders, into the armory in Ento. All three leaders kept their eyes peeled for Selve soldiers and spies, and they were very successful; by Saturday, they had all killed a total of 2,000 Selve soldiers.
Adam, Wills, Tom and Ed spent the week on the radios in touch with all of the generals and officers of the URA, and keeping up a push-pin map-chart updated with their positions, and altercations with the enemy.
Adam kept trucks of food rolling on the soldier's route and supplemented it with trucks of fish, and sugar beets.
Finally, Saturday afternoon came, and General Coleman turned his job over to Lieutenant Ted Stars who was a really good man to leave in charge, and he did not worry while he was gone from the base.
On Sunday morning, at 8 a.m., Glenna, Miriam, Ann, Lucy, Alice and Molly all climbed into a big truck with all of their personal belongings and bedding, and followed after the Special Forces soldiers to the Selve-Wale border. They had also brought five large trucks filled with medicine, food, sugar, beets. bedding. and clean clothes for the prisoners.
Tomorrow Gog and his palace is under bombing attack from his own citizens.
