Order Only: Ugliness at Maidstone

alt_billAs I'd reported the day I--well, the day Mulciber became hacked off with me, I turned in a tip to my source at MLE about the camp administrator at Maidstone. The bloke came across as a dodgy liar when I met with him to inform him of Mulciber's starve-the-muggles project.
Tonight, I touched base with my source. She was grateful enough for for my tip (since it led to a huge bust) that she was unexpectedly free with information in return.
Once my source received my information, she descended on the camp that night and started tearing through their records. There was a huge discrepancy in the census about muggle teenage girls in particular. Once she found a hidden cache of the records, she started piecing the story together.
Warning, this won't make for pleasant reading. What they were doing was truly ugly, but we've managed to stop it.
For now, anyway.
In the last few years, over three hundred muggle girls between 14 and 18 years old were transferred from Maidstone to an unregistered work assignment. A little over two hundred are now BACK in the records, marked as "deceased," but according to the records they'd died in camp (killed for insubordination).
Yeah, right, that was a lot of insubordination.
But by talking to prisoners, she was able to determine that wasn't it at all. Those girls hadn't actually died in camp; they'd simply disappeared to 'the place teenage girls go.' That they never (almost never) come back from.
She ferreted out from one of the assistant camp admins, the one who selected girls, where they were going.
It was a brothel. One which offered extra perks to customers with, ah, special tastes.
See, there are places where people go to enjoy the sport of muggle hunting. For a fee, of course. There's a fee, too, if a muggle is killed on a work assignment, but this way, with this tidy arrangement, there's no need for the fee to be collected, since the girls died 'in camp.' So much cheaper for everyone, you know, and then the money gets to be split between the various sickfu bastards who dreamed this up. Plus, since the records for the deaths were hidden, I imagine Garth Spillett had extra rations, since they continued to deliver supplies for the full camp census. Profits all around. My source plans to trace what was done to cover tracks about THAT next week.
Anyway, it's stopped now.
I'm sick and furious, and so terribly sorry that we couldn't save them.
But I am so glad I passed on that information to my source.

But I think, for this weekend at least, I'm not going to be brooding endlessly about the hope of quitting my job. Which is a tiny improvement.

But yeah. Good on you.
