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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwvmfA1xLpW
I feel sick.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtrFegY9Z9N
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,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAiZiwSvkEfO
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?
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3BVYdKBzoK
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAVIzAHHOmzW
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOpX1vkEt0a
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAMXoBrKtUF6
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAkp3Rh9qNd1
A garage, it is.
303Please respect copyright.PENANADwxYLmdd8b
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA5YHH36NZ4h
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA7qbRgSiveW
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAAP6ntQeq96
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
303Please respect copyright.PENANANkzXSWG7aC
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,
303Please respect copyright.PENANACVrDS3A5Qf
I waited, there were many,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtVF3GLmvkJ
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,
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6B91C0gFvk
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
303Please respect copyright.PENANAvCIIn4r2qN
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3ioChoIm4J
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAuQuuC2aZkv
Closed the door "Clear."
303Please respect copyright.PENANA067RNrBGyp
"Clear."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAXkvMJDxv3V
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAf1skdXE3Tw
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAC9FxGj4ty8
The boys left just as they came.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAntGssIjuJc
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ0eHPs9z4
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAPVpH3UbTCG
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
303Please respect copyright.PENANARNbVf64dlu
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANARJGYib73mx
So cowardly of me!
303Please respect copyright.PENANABOFsHywwh3
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAAQs4DDaQoT
Callen!
303Please respect copyright.PENANAbRJgUrKNyf
I left him alone too!
303Please respect copyright.PENANAguz8Tg70Wk
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAStJydSwYwe
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAx9nfyv7jhH
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAIFu9mlGf0N
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAWDSOXT1wps
I laid there for what felt like hours.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAeJu8yYx1KI
Weak...
303Please respect copyright.PENANATDZ6TMvi5b
Powerless...
303Please respect copyright.PENANAIu9RIuYr5u
Unwanted...
303Please respect copyright.PENANAu2zbTIBpgL
Nuisance...
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyKYiVfRHIt
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
303Please respect copyright.PENANATS8osTel17
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwA8WbH1EIe
Now that I analyse closely,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyjRkZGfCio
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.
