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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAuWyDKpd0nl
I feel sick.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAj4IPsBUALv
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,
381Please respect copyright.PENANA008aM5x1HX
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?
381Please respect copyright.PENANAkHCT3Xw98m
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAJZycCdbTg0
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
381Please respect copyright.PENANADShDlGU9sN
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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANA21LbnQjRQH
A garage, it is.
381Please respect copyright.PENANALaYgBR7QkG
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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAQQGggiYYiw
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAONHWQxJitG
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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAgH054GcgOm
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAhV0lNpMiM1
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,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAPTose9tfjO
I waited, there were many,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAQPsbnNFMut
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,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAJcsDxWaQlf
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
381Please respect copyright.PENANAl49tnziMFb
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAvvwMljeYrr
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
381Please respect copyright.PENANA7O7S4HxTRh
Closed the door "Clear."
381Please respect copyright.PENANAG4SurWdIXx
"Clear."
381Please respect copyright.PENANAfce3Dr9BKa
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAcfRyi38u1N
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
381Please respect copyright.PENANA8fbRpBUYt9
The boys left just as they came.
381Please respect copyright.PENANARdIt9naOJs
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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAu7oXHQVIdA
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAfQWFXeQ8xC
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAGGQGW55V5b
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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANArUHfUEjnqF
So cowardly of me!
381Please respect copyright.PENANAmNNr06KYyd
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.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAaS08nycWzx
Callen!
381Please respect copyright.PENANAtp0EKSUS1r
I left him alone too!
381Please respect copyright.PENANAxKIoqNScVm
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAZENUZWotwK
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAYMFNj26J8W
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAsm47VZwpqk
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAlRTiUcrb2a
I laid there for what felt like hours.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAo2pHY54Aqm
Weak...
381Please respect copyright.PENANAgIft9NgHCm
Powerless...
381Please respect copyright.PENANADg6q0Bj5uc
Unwanted...
381Please respect copyright.PENANAlPMvnauiY9
Nuisance...
381Please respect copyright.PENANA7huZTyh9uZ
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
381Please respect copyright.PENANAfX1NHSQuyZ
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
381Please respect copyright.PENANA6hjBZzsdTO
Now that I analyse closely,
381Please respect copyright.PENANAJDm6rxGA0B
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.
