They're at home. They're at home, and Raleigh doesn't even know what home is, what home should be anymore because she's lost it, she's lost so much of her home, but he says they're at home and she nods, she nods emphatically and she's terrified, she's terrified that somehow he's wrong, he's wrong and they're both trapped, or she's dreaming, she's seeing things in the dark, but she's so terrified of being alone.
"He- He locked-" She's shaking, and she's been holding this all in- even when he'd find her before, the times he'd just known, somehow, and she hadn't been okay and he'd asked to come in and he'd sat there with her, she would be okay because she was holding it in, but there'd been light, there'd been light and she could hold it in, but now? Now she couldn't do it anymore. "He was this old man, he was lost and old and I tried to h-help him, but when I got into the alley his partner grabbed me, and-" She's shaking so much, but she's just talking finally and she's never told him any of it.
"If I said anything, he'd break my neck and I tried- I tried, with my phone, but he took it away and then he cut open my foot so I couldn't run away and they locked me in a room, they turned off the light and they left me alone-" She sobbed when she said it, and more than anyone, more than anyone Spencer knew why. He knew why it was so bad. "No one would m-miss me, He said he chose me because no one would- That I'd die, and no one would know, it was my fault because I did something, he said I knew what I did and I told Jason my name and I started going out, and they shut me in the room before they were going to kill me, I-"
Her voice cracks, and she's curled into herself, and she needs another person; she needs it, but she can't articulate asking, she can't articulate anything. but she's needing him from where she's this ball of pain and fear. "I didn't do anything," she whispers, and finally her eyes find his.
