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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAPh96CY6htu
I feel sick.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAA5JUkWeDJ1
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,
425Please respect copyright.PENANANAy2nmWQPb
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?
425Please respect copyright.PENANAZYvAYoRkIg
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA0wlGEqVxbH
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
425Please respect copyright.PENANA9XbOW53QvD
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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANATJIYRrXCwT
A garage, it is.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAeE9I9DejKv
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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA4R3EOPLrHy
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAklu1qcPE4I
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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA3KOzRpLd5r
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
425Please respect copyright.PENANARLy1wFZzZJ
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,
425Please respect copyright.PENANAA2EUWlbXHq
I waited, there were many,
425Please respect copyright.PENANApJ0257AYAI
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,
425Please respect copyright.PENANAV7DRlwzAgB
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
425Please respect copyright.PENANAvVChCITCoq
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
425Please respect copyright.PENANAaAuev2lVsA
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
425Please respect copyright.PENANAn5J0RkZja3
Closed the door "Clear."
425Please respect copyright.PENANAzOPZdeglUh
"Clear."
425Please respect copyright.PENANAHOxucS9jdo
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAZhIHupCkFK
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAYkaCa0D5CW
The boys left just as they came.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAMlgThyaVc0
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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA0XKuX6ntNi
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
425Please respect copyright.PENANATnK3uZt6mR
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZrgPtkJHq
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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAo1YrHcXmKv
So cowardly of me!
425Please respect copyright.PENANAuCrB2OTpUL
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.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA5fK2U9xfQk
Callen!
425Please respect copyright.PENANAkYqPBMDMVv
I left him alone too!
425Please respect copyright.PENANADblOk5QHSe
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAxG8efcTEgt
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
425Please respect copyright.PENANARW5kDShIBT
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA7xloSB8hDE
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
425Please respect copyright.PENANADuvNvBJpw1
I laid there for what felt like hours.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAh08fJ0knNw
Weak...
425Please respect copyright.PENANAVURe150Nbs
Powerless...
425Please respect copyright.PENANAIg8fN1B6Zb
Unwanted...
425Please respect copyright.PENANAV6UWn96Q1l
Nuisance...
425Please respect copyright.PENANA58zx14eagN
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
425Please respect copyright.PENANA7MHKobtHsy
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
425Please respect copyright.PENANAj1x4JRlt00
Now that I analyse closely,
425Please respect copyright.PENANABTOuMP5FZd
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.
