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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDU9vCOSoG
I feel sick.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTOVrKjHY
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,

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?
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AvFZ0E42n
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjh6VSANCV
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxKNezTzzX
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITXF9Osqhv
A garage, it is.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBzjo22hkW
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwF5ePTEK9
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzHQmVHdX
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAzru760Mj
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArJyyjksnd
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,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZAvpapy7F
I waited, there were many,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtOjBeBdYk
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,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JFmtxsoDv
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMpGvSpkhc
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcTlTjwJ1M
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD2NP69OVI
Closed the door "Clear."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjiyfwf3ih
"Clear."
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DoQcaX3S
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVomnyBhhr8
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNMYEWYDKR
The boys left just as they came.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07OCL1Ej3w
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjU8moO77O
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVbNTnmSmo
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegkZfI8rDB
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq3xh7bk1M
So cowardly of me!
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNsBENfFry
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.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEq1OFJmxb
Callen!
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus9GSqmgL3
I left him alone too!
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65SK0doyih
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPRXMNNqfh
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8caGIGp197
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmpuwgnHGn
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98mOcNQ0Bw
I laid there for what felt like hours.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruGWY8IOC0
Weak...
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lrT9CUAa9
Powerless...
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpiSJmPDhq
Unwanted...
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQxoZt1V38
Nuisance...

I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ6YWLRYFR
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89d7lSqDX
Now that I analyse closely,
348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p7itjl3Na
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.
