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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2kQ5UAeFr
I feel sick.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKgIxhyJey
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,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBFSK9yZYw
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?
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt4uvfKnsb
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceaNyagMmh
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkjDU1GDtk
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNKl9t5lL
A garage, it is.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78e269gB7d
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaazmUjvhf
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWYWqn3hzg
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5qxyT4rC6
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjPJmzOFE2
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,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3RXxPIHl0
I waited, there were many,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF2F9P3qnU
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,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiVg3JMM9O
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CN8JxBLrY
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Uy5Ktlvo
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5BNr7mSs8
Closed the door "Clear."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhD7Y0uKNB
"Clear."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooQNfoKeq0
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3fTcEpbWs
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rQ4VrVmLW
The boys left just as they came.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UvY8qhkEQ
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMHsGwb5Mr
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJfbpc9peh
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBDqyDZ2IS
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz2949lO2P
So cowardly of me!
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKBjyueMqx
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EtdP5mULg
Callen!
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPko2f0QejD
I left him alone too!
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsswmzVx7rM
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5yKddREa
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39YQ2vYbju
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjueBLsMLNw
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRQI5hHIHe
I laid there for what felt like hours.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxY0h7wm6
Weak...
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6voSNJjzRJ
Powerless...
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAclFLWsJq
Unwanted...
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKRH9apbAn
Nuisance...
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmVdR9biGS
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLParGEhfwl
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4P6FXLolP
Now that I analyse closely,
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWgWoqPG3A
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.
