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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs2FrZGDzl
I feel sick.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDCcOjjWXN
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,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJOT1QELIV
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?
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHADnPGa1Ng
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZW79ysMAs
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzntCoNUoy
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8AgKuxVXo
A garage, it is.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qzgxcmQQu
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Sm6zaBh4
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsio27EPoeJ
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnBHnQieVD
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjUsD4fycI
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,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQlttfqfAk
I waited, there were many,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYRXrdz1qK
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,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGNsaAi0F5
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYxQglWRs
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMR6KRR8Je
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriLrgwCcyg
Closed the door "Clear."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeUm51C078
"Clear."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDyn7uXXDr
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhaVPCRYSz
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhhX8UMxYY
The boys left just as they came.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXxdHz4Kg
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsE86qGgGP
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaEqokuBLC
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWmqdtTGhe
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsHCSu2WFk
So cowardly of me!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw32IrMc33
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQadEfvHK3
Callen!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Sf0jxLdq
I left him alone too!
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCNMPEQUez
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRfHoTCHTq
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh92yjzkGL
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0p8WHMgCc
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I0gi9zmnK
I laid there for what felt like hours.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yFvVrXhDd
Weak...
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj1J4YKG8g
Powerless...
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxVO213lHW
Unwanted...
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0de27EBzK
Nuisance...
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KOME8OMge
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwFTZMvUg
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeSN8lnadm
Now that I analyse closely,
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTlEaXS7vU
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.
