No one spoke. Like dead statues on duty, none lose their focus. I was left in the dark. I am an outsider. I'm new and the reason of attack. I'm no help either. It's obvious I'm unwanted here.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAjQFEl149gE
I feel sick.
259Please respect copyright.PENANA0UJoPJbZiA
This car too is comprised of things for safety under attack.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAibhefK3Q7H
It was a long drive, covering large distance we changed cars again. Like last time, the two cars almost stuck together, as we climbed from one car to another, no gap in between, I needn't step on road,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAoeYPkEE6Zr
I looked at the man in front seat from the rear view mirror when the tensed driver put the car in gear. He had a deep old scar running down his crooked nose down to his jaw he scratched irritated. I turned to the driver who was tanned, deep, almost burnt. What caused it?
259Please respect copyright.PENANADD0NHnjVvw
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
259Please respect copyright.PENANARZjWIqroAk
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAVESqSjpyBQ
Far beyond I saw huge concrete walls, squinting my eyes I saw wires covering the top of the boundaries. We were heading the same way, huge iron gates marked our entry. In no time, the driver was swiping his entry card into the lock system.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAMe8bbRYlYy
I gaped at the old prison like building. We didn't stop even at its doors, the metal barrier lifted as soon as the car approached it's way.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAAMDUztMfkw
A garage, it is.
259Please respect copyright.PENANA5XyUD2DARw
We were in, and darkness followed. My side of door was opened. I took it as a sign to step out, blinding lights switched on. I squeeze shut my eyes letting my irises adjust to the lights.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAI9kmiL29Sz
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAzlMr37usgs
The scared man lead the way, the driver didn't follow, even stairs had men with rifles. I kept my head straight and my lids down.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAeh103xIdyj
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAnbkzqlLvcT
He lifted his hand blocking my way, I met his gaze, always tense, I stepped back instead taking the hint, I rolled back my shoulders as I heard footsteps marching in my direction from behind, I didn't turn,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAvY0aM8Xl15
I waited, there were many,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAD5IyQylqU6
Surpassing me two rows consisting of five men with gun pressed to their heart in alert ready to shoot, just like every other individual here,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAuf0qrJX4vO
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
259Please respect copyright.PENANAnXXcAfGXp0
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAV0VM34qmLe
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAq3yhr2gIAm
Closed the door "Clear."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAEq1tCiyq2t
"Clear."
259Please respect copyright.PENANAWXlyeUCbeX
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAP6Alrnznuz
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAYLmUujn9QD
The boys left just as they came.
259Please respect copyright.PENANASF3M8Qi6bg
At ease I finally looked around for myself well equipped kitchen counter rounding the dining area decorated the place, two more doors, I guess leading to bedrooms. The sitting area had no separations in particular.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAqS4OVucVtW
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAGcWCqie13W
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAazWt4GzQmR
Even the guy with scar had left me locked safe inside. It is a traumatic experience. I witnessed horrifying deaths right in front of me. People I could have saved, I didn't. I ran away. I escaped.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAXOza4Di7dD
So cowardly of me!
259Please respect copyright.PENANAKjOdvL3j1v
Tear streaked cheeks turned wet again. I was alone and safe to cry aloud since the time allows it. I don't know when I will get this opportunity again.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAH67WnITdiS
Callen!
259Please respect copyright.PENANAlXEyZrKKDA
I left him alone too!
259Please respect copyright.PENANANT2HbgLpyu
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
259Please respect copyright.PENANARU3T29klTe
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
259Please respect copyright.PENANAd4VMbFcUlo
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAkKG6m47DFN
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAwax2UPRECQ
I laid there for what felt like hours.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAgRg2ooQwJK
Weak...
259Please respect copyright.PENANAYG2YadQmmN
Powerless...
259Please respect copyright.PENANAxjiv4ZzkE3
Unwanted...
259Please respect copyright.PENANAPg41badbZw
Nuisance...
259Please respect copyright.PENANANUlDkg911C
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAlkSP2tDRP9
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
259Please respect copyright.PENANAEHEyxL181g
Now that I analyse closely,
259Please respect copyright.PENANA9dAtVLMszZ
It became more clearer now, Callen's men were instructed beforehand to keep me this classified.
Even in deserted area, his men are trained to not alone trust the remoteness. They were that particular. Their protocol and accuracy emphasizes how organized callen's field of work is.
