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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAearGU1ztiu
I feel sick.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAPAiZy0KCCW
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,
347Please respect copyright.PENANANmm9PImQwV
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?
347Please respect copyright.PENANAk7jqQkmHqt
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAUM4UaWpEd6
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAwy5gdM3qrd
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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANA7YgCHL8kfB
A garage, it is.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAwTxLA47AbC
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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAUn62NKxy4Y
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
347Please respect copyright.PENANA8dfPDXEfhE
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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAudZLaKRNkV
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
347Please respect copyright.PENANA8sDgps9K7x
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,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAjajOKpZFJP
I waited, there were many,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAap2BKfmq5M
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,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAw2YQMEqwq6
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
347Please respect copyright.PENANAbgQM82iCIJ
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAq7HxH2PC4E
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
347Please respect copyright.PENANAwoCVoHdXFy
Closed the door "Clear."
347Please respect copyright.PENANAVmrZ5BixT2
"Clear."
347Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2jZBS9D7l
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
347Please respect copyright.PENANA38edx5d7rb
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAQrwgHTmtHf
The boys left just as they came.
347Please respect copyright.PENANASBhtbWhWBO
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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAixKcgU9hN8
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAj72D0doxDL
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAQFQmXbDSY9
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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANA0Yy5RvAGwg
So cowardly of me!
347Please respect copyright.PENANAFG5pgI2pfu
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.
347Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ih1qkw7nY
Callen!
347Please respect copyright.PENANAgRar3wAdge
I left him alone too!
347Please respect copyright.PENANAuLTMpxwtSZ
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
347Please respect copyright.PENANALH0eOaGZAf
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
347Please respect copyright.PENANAsCaP5F2umm
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
347Please respect copyright.PENANA5s4eqMSLBs
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAPEQ7rZOLKy
I laid there for what felt like hours.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAipFyogwQVP
Weak...
347Please respect copyright.PENANAEQvm3ILIXE
Powerless...
347Please respect copyright.PENANAYPMKqhrhW8
Unwanted...
347Please respect copyright.PENANAT1us5Q5w4b
Nuisance...
347Please respect copyright.PENANAsf6FeQ1PlH
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAiU8tKmocoP
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
347Please respect copyright.PENANAkUJDBjjINr
Now that I analyse closely,
347Please respect copyright.PENANA81MZFEGIfB
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.
