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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAGcLKcx1C5P
I feel sick.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAgdXgPwvpCY
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,
343Please respect copyright.PENANABcBbAXSDX8
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?
343Please respect copyright.PENANABJoZo8vXv3
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAccPL6wJY9x
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
343Please respect copyright.PENANA6PKmvJDgU9
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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANANUS4vvZVub
A garage, it is.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAFt490Qv4X9
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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAaGfpQlZ4av
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
343Please respect copyright.PENANA0Do5qq8Vb9
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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANA2hz7lIPSYr
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAhQxxicfVI0
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,
343Please respect copyright.PENANARyaVCLVBRm
I waited, there were many,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAVD2frdsQUL
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,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAOp0xAphUSc
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
343Please respect copyright.PENANAUsWdK8CRaQ
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAHQDAKgbKrd
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
343Please respect copyright.PENANAfVxjwE7hvs
Closed the door "Clear."
343Please respect copyright.PENANA6f64kSY0zg
"Clear."
343Please respect copyright.PENANAm2Lp7b6gpx
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAxQsiLwT7if
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAz2LiI7fQfG
The boys left just as they came.
343Please respect copyright.PENANA2wcekb8lHw
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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAxkC8jNcWpd
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAvy7tVALR5h
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAfjLbxuOOId
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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANA3l9sclOKXY
So cowardly of me!
343Please respect copyright.PENANAaIPOstA3uO
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.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAW9XZN0KkxE
Callen!
343Please respect copyright.PENANAcAStKlqHs1
I left him alone too!
343Please respect copyright.PENANAbVmu0u07bl
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
343Please respect copyright.PENANA88XL263gMB
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAeobt1btu5v
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
343Please respect copyright.PENANA9j3ogXxaGz
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAYbd2cbhEOV
I laid there for what felt like hours.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAybbVaCTT86
Weak...
343Please respect copyright.PENANAFWUJ8lhxh8
Powerless...
343Please respect copyright.PENANAGreszNuaX4
Unwanted...
343Please respect copyright.PENANAiG41hnLhay
Nuisance...
343Please respect copyright.PENANAq5rALTpi86
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAymwbGqQok4
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
343Please respect copyright.PENANAVLVg2LZILg
Now that I analyse closely,
343Please respect copyright.PENANAjZDsmuVwbA
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.
