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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAt377VXEVJI
I feel sick.
325Please respect copyright.PENANARcS7IbAXFj
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,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAd03yWoOXln
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?
325Please respect copyright.PENANAKRpcM69Noi
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAg05OciVRQ3
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
325Please respect copyright.PENANA0yoPqMeHr4
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZ45XUTN04m
A garage, it is.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAY9JUSJyjXE
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAECh5zhtYwR
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAjQo6s6yLs0
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANADU88WMqLBg
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAne30sa4pCA
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,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAOpo7IyTcGN
I waited, there were many,
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5B4Cyri6Ty
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,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAAMDC3E0PPr
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
325Please respect copyright.PENANANPiQoK0ZMX
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAQsrRCYLBZX
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
325Please respect copyright.PENANABMD5RJAvkp
Closed the door "Clear."
325Please respect copyright.PENANANtGcuLloML
"Clear."
325Please respect copyright.PENANAt6iujiYUjt
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAtoTSjmoQOg
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUg8O7eNFS1
The boys left just as they came.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAC9c8aUylWS
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA9zRmpF80bi
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAyoKp4IyLAY
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA8K8u1CxNWf
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUiS8omLY0K
So cowardly of me!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIynPZJxFeO
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.
325Please respect copyright.PENANADRjFFg3Z9z
Callen!
325Please respect copyright.PENANAV3i2sLRmbo
I left him alone too!
325Please respect copyright.PENANABe0Tlq8Zei
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA5qpXEccneZ
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
325Please respect copyright.PENANAUR1PYdAejI
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAAmhQc4Jkb4
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
325Please respect copyright.PENANA30bdEs1nCo
I laid there for what felt like hours.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAcfow32s02z
Weak...
325Please respect copyright.PENANAIPLaFeJDtk
Powerless...
325Please respect copyright.PENANAkuKkJ9p9aN
Unwanted...
325Please respect copyright.PENANAobM1OYUNDq
Nuisance...
325Please respect copyright.PENANALKj0edPZPZ
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAruddpqfD5M
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
325Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4aQWhyhCL
Now that I analyse closely,
325Please respect copyright.PENANADA1zEq8fF9
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.
