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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAcc5ycRfNZt
I feel sick.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAj5M7H2Ovff
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,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAa9p7y1Q280
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?
411Please respect copyright.PENANAb0dyp5oDvn
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1yDIcGSYsn
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAPlYv1S72Ub
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAchOL3d2j1A
A garage, it is.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqxec43qKbB
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAMPALBNkmxB
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIQCwJWfZp2
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgIjV0ZFkTK
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAgQt9SBg7q4
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,
411Please respect copyright.PENANARJwcjfnms0
I waited, there were many,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAoviZ4VskoT
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,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKgQApdq4zu
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
411Please respect copyright.PENANAG4mSVrkeCU
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
411Please respect copyright.PENANA3qkM86e7e5
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaURdlJJP8R
Closed the door "Clear."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAISMW8reqPk
"Clear."
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZQd2ewDpBH
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAFX8Ie4wrKj
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmSyXCNJIbE
The boys left just as they came.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWMCMuaHB53
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAX3usynKF4T
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJGU1rZRV6a
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaN4uzZGelB
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7uJmYO7Aqb
So cowardly of me!
411Please respect copyright.PENANADhqFDvuQHf
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.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAHAxZmtMhRt
Callen!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwatsgQVPnY
I left him alone too!
411Please respect copyright.PENANAZFtHEZwotP
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA5g7nw2zscl
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqpXwpoukfc
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAAk7QxcHMiO
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAd9B1cSUZtl
I laid there for what felt like hours.
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtLulXyxwG5
Weak...
411Please respect copyright.PENANAX15bdnJQpu
Powerless...
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqAmN9UYBCU
Unwanted...
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzeiffPzllQ
Nuisance...
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0k3gV6V8Mg
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
411Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZfnP5y0xe
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
411Please respect copyright.PENANATrCFl4NrMf
Now that I analyse closely,
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqiiggq8UrU
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.
