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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANACsZYXZGz5d
I feel sick.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAh5eOb4iJfy
This car too is comprised of things for safety under attack.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAkRZz5amMqZ
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,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAk2FN9DtTVr
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?
384Please respect copyright.PENANAUPC4EOcCU9
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAanl5CWMrVz
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAy5EmwHqIv7
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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAJTVQmWTdQo
A garage, it is.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAPdHHJm0Aeg
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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAH45fEmmBjQ
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAuY4yRHZcVz
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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAtbXUvpkNFU
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
384Please respect copyright.PENANA4MOVIULGsU
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,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAzZCu0yyhY2
I waited, there were many,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAoB6R95GuM2
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,
384Please respect copyright.PENANApRtCn5R8xr
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
384Please respect copyright.PENANAHYc1rsUW8h
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAMeuB9FtKcr
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
384Please respect copyright.PENANAT2rHPvE9pn
Closed the door "Clear."
384Please respect copyright.PENANAUajHQ5mntT
"Clear."
384Please respect copyright.PENANA5iSjXCcY9c
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAo8n00reYCx
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
384Please respect copyright.PENANApqDN4FKHGE
The boys left just as they came.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAdwVXEkwTRq
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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAjEVDwbvX0l
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAYt0whzPOX4
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
384Please respect copyright.PENANALdooLyvK65
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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAwpe0PAIJO0
So cowardly of me!
384Please respect copyright.PENANAq4bDLPh9EG
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.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAPTH6Ow6QZp
Callen!
384Please respect copyright.PENANAx0bzAFbrVm
I left him alone too!
384Please respect copyright.PENANApuolhDpv0y
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAsb27B82pkT
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
384Please respect copyright.PENANARkZa9kK2wF
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
384Please respect copyright.PENANA5DNUYcjWqh
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAnwBNiPVJ0w
I laid there for what felt like hours.
384Please respect copyright.PENANAhmxlmP9FDI
Weak...
384Please respect copyright.PENANAo3jl00R4fr
Powerless...
384Please respect copyright.PENANAGVI8mJUEni
Unwanted...
384Please respect copyright.PENANA3ikPoqWwOf
Nuisance...
384Please respect copyright.PENANAGM0bp7UlsZ
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
384Please respect copyright.PENANA3jULWpzTXW
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
384Please respect copyright.PENANA2RUhOE7kgG
Now that I analyse closely,
384Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3wn4lOC8B
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.
