The Predator Hunters And Hunted 14

Maple had better luck, depending on the definition of luck. His team ran across a collection of bodies that had been eviscerated. When he called in his voice was hitching and he was deeply unsettled. As a rule Maple did not get nervous, but his voice shook and he had to be cautioned more than once to remember the code they were supposed to be using.
"We found ten people," he reported. "Maybe. It's hard to say. They're all dead, and they didn't die easy. I think most of them were alive when they got torn apart."

Carter shook his head. "Torn apart how?"

"Two of them were skinned. At least three bodies without heads. There are fucking bodies here without spines. You understand me? Something tore their spines out. Broke the ribs away and tore the spinal columns free from the bodies. I don't know what the fuck they're doing, but these guys are animals. I've never seen anyone taken apart this way."pg.47 chpt.4
