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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAUtbciITj9Y
I feel sick.
344Please respect copyright.PENANASWjclRgubY
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,
344Please respect copyright.PENANAB9qK8iMwaY
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?
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfmgmnzzD8B
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAebEYtZMGjr
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
344Please respect copyright.PENANADtAwO173Hh
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAbPkTIKwyey
A garage, it is.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAq346AmLTiP
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANADTc8DkeBkr
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAlzFYyeNq0I
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAULt6j9xzhl
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfePir66NdI
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,
344Please respect copyright.PENANAObDU60GF7b
I waited, there were many,
344Please respect copyright.PENANArmqOvbTmFe
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,
344Please respect copyright.PENANAddPp96JNhU
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
344Please respect copyright.PENANAt7XrCFlrzf
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAXoFlJHvzj
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
344Please respect copyright.PENANAIr2J4QUNkZ
Closed the door "Clear."
344Please respect copyright.PENANALF9tgvTvYY
"Clear."
344Please respect copyright.PENANACqCzMaOAmN
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAkdPdN5KT9R
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zln2pP7S5
The boys left just as they came.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAfSuzkxR85s
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAAEAf6zKLEo
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
344Please respect copyright.PENANA82bsqETZQk
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ebu2XEjB
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAjVpyYIhFfT
So cowardly of me!
344Please respect copyright.PENANA7q0vyoGlAz
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.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA4AqENxaquX
Callen!
344Please respect copyright.PENANATU2RkQd6cD
I left him alone too!
344Please respect copyright.PENANAx8n97Rls1o
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2eAAf8rr6g
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
344Please respect copyright.PENANAhRIx2NBDQN
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA8mkQJwnrLg
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
344Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZrEjqnjU6
I laid there for what felt like hours.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAKyfdzDvOpq
Weak...
344Please respect copyright.PENANAVTkSvCFLoK
Powerless...
344Please respect copyright.PENANASTh6BDoHKu
Unwanted...
344Please respect copyright.PENANArFpLlM3Mly
Nuisance...
344Please respect copyright.PENANAGU6yweucJ5
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAXCuEiJ54ES
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
344Please respect copyright.PENANAe3rBMfc5Uo
Now that I analyse closely,
344Please respect copyright.PENANA44wkd1lHun
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.
