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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANArrizS9Czrh
I feel sick.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA8XDxEawNfx
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,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFRGMDyVOHe
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?
386Please respect copyright.PENANAAPwD63XuHM
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA9lYjEfcl8H
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAoCmkH9Oldr
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAjCCyf8SQOF
A garage, it is.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgkIni9giF5
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAEMTM8Ojc1h
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAwz87y7lWvx
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAioc07LRRjf
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAt4GpFphUXb
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,
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6exZsHN0o1
I waited, there were many,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAzLeLUlYK3I
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,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgYJM6DdKEb
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqgDTwiIThr
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
386Please respect copyright.PENANA20Jsc5kEQ8
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuQBHkDEapV
Closed the door "Clear."
386Please respect copyright.PENANATq4gumoKZA
"Clear."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAJTeTnE2JqC
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAEnRS3CzTzw
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAkD2ofZHqcv
The boys left just as they came.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA9iHy8MP4Ni
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAroqccjgSxJ
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
386Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ui6gGux2Q
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAHWAdtIIkBo
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4IaXi8AaI
So cowardly of me!
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6o7gssFDTu
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAsmI02ftzOv
Callen!
386Please respect copyright.PENANA3JjHdKx7a4
I left him alone too!
386Please respect copyright.PENANAQSftT8HRpc
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXWWOdwgjpv
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
386Please respect copyright.PENANA3dPrv4qsj5
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnWgwqPTIji
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXl5Nw4UUCT
I laid there for what felt like hours.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAxNR6mkY8Cd
Weak...
386Please respect copyright.PENANAmxqduMddG5
Powerless...
386Please respect copyright.PENANA8I2tUNiikN
Unwanted...
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgesbpw88OG
Nuisance...
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFA4fOCFuJo
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
386Please respect copyright.PENANASFr5rOoeo7
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAIxXOgYvglx
Now that I analyse closely,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAaAr9Kjlxfh
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.
