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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJP4JvL8XQ
I feel sick.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIerru5xyWA
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,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWssz3ydkY
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?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmlmV2JRU
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpEGR59gmr
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ95QTgnpMl
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.

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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdunJaEHbg0
A garage, it is.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogyyRe3l7Z
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04s8dlOKq
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnT0eIpyLi
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cf8lAQLFm
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEA1RdMcrA
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,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfA7jj2dh
I waited, there were many,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57GhYVUe4n
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,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG9dzufsDG
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf66KDzRRp
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFdk3Yz085
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5CTSEm00A
Closed the door "Clear."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aIVgGNxAO
"Clear."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORIvYsvXu0
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKdBL5kEJI
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g9CtkofaM
The boys left just as they came.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRxuEt0ApV
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeW9iD3INg
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAwsGoKJeb
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg1LOaHj8e
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cKRLGqWuW
So cowardly of me!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2tLaKygF3
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.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes9lEcBzZW
Callen!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUO5wOS8qc
I left him alone too!
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CzWMwB6rR
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLyEkXY3HF
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5znzK2xrs
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyP0sNEU4t
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlSLKWEHTS
I laid there for what felt like hours.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZVaQVdM1l
Weak...
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CfOiNVf8D
Powerless...
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEIyysBHs3
Unwanted...
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP11dkjaPXy
Nuisance...
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nOZ0VdDCi
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkIxTogiQS
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqb7aQR9f7
Now that I analyse closely,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4W9Lrpz9j
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.
