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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANADZ1ktO90Xi
I feel sick.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAhqun2RkCtP
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,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAAir46omL4I
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?
326Please respect copyright.PENANAv2Xqg6Ww45
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAUzwmlHpJLu
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1YaNZ97LOs
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFzlBKJ3zUw
A garage, it is.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAShlx8mR21D
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANADD638lzNyw
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Lutmija5
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAAmMwxzsyBk
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAI4qabrMwz9
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,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAnE5UCtS0eh
I waited, there were many,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAoqkTyVwKPi
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,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAz7PpdtberU
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
326Please respect copyright.PENANAJfZXPug6sb
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Yd5yGbSC
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
326Please respect copyright.PENANA9EkKkdQp1P
Closed the door "Clear."
326Please respect copyright.PENANA7SXNWwoejn
"Clear."
326Please respect copyright.PENANAgn9xOVu0wp
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
326Please respect copyright.PENANA4QWxrw01vw
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAwPX3gmIN1S
The boys left just as they came.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAp6Fv3Sxv3D
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVvziIRPacK
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAMg9aOZy91e
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAjRuAgIlOSm
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQte4CXp5f9
So cowardly of me!
326Please respect copyright.PENANAtXeYaujTvs
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZnT3q6rv9T
Callen!
326Please respect copyright.PENANA4OKXF9eliG
I left him alone too!
326Please respect copyright.PENANA1tzxv2UovP
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAT6pDSZtA1i
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAWeUKGCFzxE
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAthm9vvm0eB
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAlrw6oeOdbD
I laid there for what felt like hours.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAEkLkC2SZ7F
Weak...
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfhaWKK0RkC
Powerless...
326Please respect copyright.PENANALqPHuLtXQa
Unwanted...
326Please respect copyright.PENANATKbzRaYzUk
Nuisance...
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3swp7QlsF
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
326Please respect copyright.PENANA65Vi6ekzpV
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAWpbcxnoM1w
Now that I analyse closely,
326Please respect copyright.PENANAy6o5H9BSn7
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.
