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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkGc5sGdjM0
I feel sick.
308Please respect copyright.PENANARs2gxLXnDb
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,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAlg9zUV0hbz
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?
308Please respect copyright.PENANAydRff9cbOr
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAK5sjjLAodz
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmeA8RFUmlX
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANALf7M3GVMzz
A garage, it is.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcZX55QPOHP
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAt8xb7EI8aT
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzz8uWB3Fsh
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA24GQk05ROf
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
308Please respect copyright.PENANACD0ygwXZ8p
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,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAXKrRUFeyrV
I waited, there were many,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgMFJGj9AHl
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,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAG114guUs3L
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHvRsB9byF8
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzPQuSAWpvY
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAiRzLhA54lh
Closed the door "Clear."
308Please respect copyright.PENANArNnzccmWqQ
"Clear."
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5jHm7xJGr
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEo9vFQDH6a
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQUfSrxsBoh
The boys left just as they came.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAuOEYbFA9Kd
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAXhaUKAyQjI
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYRypnQGGdI
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAUbbR7mzxUW
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEJBoXRlakw
So cowardly of me!
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y1u7n20Ky
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.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA10qIhouh1i
Callen!
308Please respect copyright.PENANA6XYkCRH7Fx
I left him alone too!
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcAbbr6KQcJ
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
308Please respect copyright.PENANACVG7ez9YoZ
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
308Please respect copyright.PENANA87PS29eXGn
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmmg024gCAw
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAoDaW6R4tpd
I laid there for what felt like hours.
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8PHnxvZ8x5
Weak...
308Please respect copyright.PENANA23kWtPrfY9
Powerless...
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8jttM4KpHD
Unwanted...
308Please respect copyright.PENANAXXt14teCth
Nuisance...
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3yHfVpRugG
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOJeA7ytuPj
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
308Please respect copyright.PENANAieBDUGdDoT
Now that I analyse closely,
308Please respect copyright.PENANAYcAEhOJjxZ
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.
