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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANA7gBvyGPMqM
I feel sick.
349Please respect copyright.PENANACD2kAQgMYV
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,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAbIFvifwfBD
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?
349Please respect copyright.PENANAOFs4d4336I
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAHgA4TdnOxe
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAYoArOkKZ0h
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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAiyIdvog6Wj
A garage, it is.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAYu8z7ktgJw
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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAK2dC9mU4CS
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAdKoExY1yw1
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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAY59KMFuOKT
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
349Please respect copyright.PENANApUalXkitgF
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,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAO3JDZotp5m
I waited, there were many,
349Please respect copyright.PENANARHukVJfvQ5
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,
349Please respect copyright.PENANA3ylFxLkC2C
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
349Please respect copyright.PENANA6bvlahjn5o
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAEyW4wp7V52
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
349Please respect copyright.PENANAKOHJF1CzpQ
Closed the door "Clear."
349Please respect copyright.PENANAVgVtrVZnuW
"Clear."
349Please respect copyright.PENANAGxwYPVlkiG
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
349Please respect copyright.PENANA35nYiwz4AM
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAR1yILq4YeA
The boys left just as they came.
349Please respect copyright.PENANA5dh0t2dzN7
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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAd9FofUqgAx
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAdJWTrobsmk
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAU0V0R7zHmo
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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAJR96r9bYN3
So cowardly of me!
349Please respect copyright.PENANAgWZInInfQR
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.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAa4RU03w5WX
Callen!
349Please respect copyright.PENANA0VYdai6fp2
I left him alone too!
349Please respect copyright.PENANAsNN8Kj1L3A
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
349Please respect copyright.PENANA59lOC5QpvF
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAEwiZYnXOJf
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAETyWL6Gjw4
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
349Please respect copyright.PENANA9ad8EnMnTY
I laid there for what felt like hours.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAlhYLTaI16o
Weak...
349Please respect copyright.PENANAwbgOAGHUMI
Powerless...
349Please respect copyright.PENANAfdYVHv0hPw
Unwanted...
349Please respect copyright.PENANAPbyKMkRbAv
Nuisance...
349Please respect copyright.PENANAU0dFvZcF15
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
349Please respect copyright.PENANABZ6y4ceGi3
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
349Please respect copyright.PENANAB3NyBWogQC
Now that I analyse closely,
349Please respect copyright.PENANAazBc8kYDeS
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.
