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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAr0sdAX6kJn
I feel sick.
424Please respect copyright.PENANANN7c55EOim
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,
424Please respect copyright.PENANAcyDrtrvFHA
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?
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Rg1pyLrD
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAaRSWZQqMdN
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7l2COrr9C9
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAYECuTgSN2c
A garage, it is.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAIStcprJnat
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAkXhCdXYXTm
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAKXdfDYs9HL
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwHESPd0ld4
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
424Please respect copyright.PENANAHQk2a4D6bW
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,
424Please respect copyright.PENANAoIc4NJRsJY
I waited, there were many,
424Please respect copyright.PENANAzrW7MAaaBa
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,
424Please respect copyright.PENANALeAckWp1yk
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
424Please respect copyright.PENANAlCa5AsEeAF
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZjhBHu7rKV
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
424Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2Yv0WNcqJ
Closed the door "Clear."
424Please respect copyright.PENANAlcR1V6VawS
"Clear."
424Please respect copyright.PENANA1fVJ3KTtut
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
424Please respect copyright.PENANA3VHw6M9ZeY
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
424Please respect copyright.PENANANySqH2DYqO
The boys left just as they came.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAKKaRN665VB
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAvW4laUampA
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQQe62djWcM
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAsVYXaNQ0jI
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAamktIkRjIy
So cowardly of me!
424Please respect copyright.PENANA63cphn87mS
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.
424Please respect copyright.PENANADUmEW9mUX2
Callen!
424Please respect copyright.PENANA1MZAU5xZ5h
I left him alone too!
424Please respect copyright.PENANAakQ6v9ekJG
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
424Please respect copyright.PENANApukrAbWMfL
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
424Please respect copyright.PENANArc6t7ruaZC
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAYMWysI3APS
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAeohMU5f85J
I laid there for what felt like hours.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAuA1uLx3anI
Weak...
424Please respect copyright.PENANAl1f1rK7sIB
Powerless...
424Please respect copyright.PENANA3OsUjIOeVU
Unwanted...
424Please respect copyright.PENANAX7rjHFQpNz
Nuisance...
424Please respect copyright.PENANAeuvwwphDQe
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAR9HtP1JlcV
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZZb265tBeu
Now that I analyse closely,
424Please respect copyright.PENANApJTOM9cpSw
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.
