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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAm3VwYGbcrU
I feel sick.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAp3twvzYZB
This car too is comprised of things for safety under attack.

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,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAJAmaYc5rzI
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?
258Please respect copyright.PENANAa9fOsoGN0M
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAk3hojYN9SW
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAhLaUA2c5q5
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAeKTM8NNCBz
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAxMIYxwyIrK
A garage, it is.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAnWtdPOPGFh
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANABwkmYkqlyJ
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAl4MB00dxXe
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZtIeXJ6Do
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAbSMaDzDjCw
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,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwyfbSqlj3F
I waited, there were many,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAyjLDfPdErD
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,
258Please respect copyright.PENANA0MbbUB9OLw
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
258Please respect copyright.PENANAnKqBONWmQk
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAO0e9IHfKxu
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
258Please respect copyright.PENANAFONxayoraW
Closed the door "Clear."
258Please respect copyright.PENANALLdcroG1CM
"Clear."
258Please respect copyright.PENANAEkxLjqxeBx
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA6DMC6nOCG5
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwdbE3qAqCA
The boys left just as they came.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAXxq0d6ZH81
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQn1bbcWUQu
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAzds43PwJMw
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAUcF541Zlcy
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAuSaTGKCang
So cowardly of me!
258Please respect copyright.PENANABKu0yT2019
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.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAwncuQoF9Fu
Callen!
258Please respect copyright.PENANAAPHwRcjFCc
I left him alone too!
258Please respect copyright.PENANA3IDF6YcYvB
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAWR9muG8afZ
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAhvkAi97gzP
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAR1kl5a7fLk
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAQx6te7zjHL
I laid there for what felt like hours.
258Please respect copyright.PENANATvtfnnHT8V
Weak...
258Please respect copyright.PENANAejkts8tvnl
Powerless...
258Please respect copyright.PENANA01XsxqvWMm
Unwanted...
258Please respect copyright.PENANAMeNSCvmFCR
Nuisance...
258Please respect copyright.PENANAvnDf4ZqqMF
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
258Please respect copyright.PENANA5BArr86wW5
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
258Please respect copyright.PENANAASw5LFeCQo
Now that I analyse closely,
258Please respect copyright.PENANAkytxfv3uNn
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.
