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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ4Z6Xs5Uj
I feel sick.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAGRnhRZKdR1
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,
352Please respect copyright.PENANA9abaYAWFVk
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?
352Please respect copyright.PENANAZWCJvfBeBd
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAUrISvxXAKe
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
352Please respect copyright.PENANATP6ppTRQAK
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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANA3JQUEONPCC
A garage, it is.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAhw7ZBnhm3s
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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAlx7dElhX8o
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAAOAhnzu6Wy
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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAFolaUtswYB
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
352Please respect copyright.PENANA3gFnXLmB4e
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,
352Please respect copyright.PENANA5pqObFuAD8
I waited, there were many,
352Please respect copyright.PENANAcGkurcDFiP
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,
352Please respect copyright.PENANAdANKhZaylo
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
352Please respect copyright.PENANAnuhsGG4PAJ
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
352Please respect copyright.PENANAXgViaW6onG
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
352Please respect copyright.PENANAfi7R55RvhB
Closed the door "Clear."
352Please respect copyright.PENANAQXwgBKrQNH
"Clear."
352Please respect copyright.PENANAG3wBdZbyig
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAw2Rn8JVZT0
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
352Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jkj9iFxWb
The boys left just as they came.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAeNJn0TgOvg
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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAq5R9wcUuog
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
352Please respect copyright.PENANAbQP518S5Mh
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
352Please respect copyright.PENANACnElsGxOq5
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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAtDefN3jCn2
So cowardly of me!
352Please respect copyright.PENANAJIp7P6uzQ2
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.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAGqmCrrbcgj
Callen!
352Please respect copyright.PENANAzNfBxtek1A
I left him alone too!
352Please respect copyright.PENANAiNHKuOHbT4
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
352Please respect copyright.PENANAGMQeSv4Pki
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
352Please respect copyright.PENANADgNbHQgS4f
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
352Please respect copyright.PENANABna1dwG39t
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
352Please respect copyright.PENANA1XE7xVOHCN
I laid there for what felt like hours.
352Please respect copyright.PENANALSx1LKUAOx
Weak...
352Please respect copyright.PENANALjKVQ8cEBi
Powerless...
352Please respect copyright.PENANACFpWnxCFEC
Unwanted...
352Please respect copyright.PENANABoSZDDP0GJ
Nuisance...
352Please respect copyright.PENANAFpz75PAKSw
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
352Please respect copyright.PENANABWIEtMIpCn
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
352Please respect copyright.PENANA2eM7GaPMn1
Now that I analyse closely,
352Please respect copyright.PENANAjSrWMAh0Mq
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.
