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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAf3CUDxe9IJ
I feel sick.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAuvDPx1yxdj
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,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Ijyvxtle
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?
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7fjYfadF6l
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAQU3yPW1x7v
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAeBcGT4e8En
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXsDADcR4rl
A garage, it is.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAV2tVPbPj66
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAkL90n1HLcj
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
293Please respect copyright.PENANALcHTEES8kH
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAXpbwTQyYtR
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAflXVsoursb
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,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAnqfFtPZt6U
I waited, there were many,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAzDeDDVx1uE
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,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAwsD1VSA7AA
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgWDp1ysiG9
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
293Please respect copyright.PENANACiTI6urYyF
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
293Please respect copyright.PENANApZVX3n9zbC
Closed the door "Clear."
293Please respect copyright.PENANAyFHQJGmvO1
"Clear."
293Please respect copyright.PENANAh5v9EAANIP
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAahtZDQZuGi
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ8rI1mwyi
The boys left just as they came.
293Please respect copyright.PENANASkv2nP4o38
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAONtX3PCaUC
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYnGrTHJUbI
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAtssr50pSXG
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAL7nk6ZM774
So cowardly of me!
293Please respect copyright.PENANATxCACsoLSQ
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.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA2YdoXrkuid
Callen!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAleycfbK7Tn
I left him alone too!
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEsoLf8EGPN
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAP8vZEBCfrR
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7fpNxjrivZ
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
293Please respect copyright.PENANANzrDAFkNkO
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAr4QH9rz5db
I laid there for what felt like hours.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAmgyEfbNhL0
Weak...
293Please respect copyright.PENANAj8cNYz5wZD
Powerless...
293Please respect copyright.PENANAUaQ8H0a2GA
Unwanted...
293Please respect copyright.PENANASH8WGut5Xy
Nuisance...
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgDaXA0juCq
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAMHZrHO8e34
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAgQm4XSom28
Now that I analyse closely,
293Please respect copyright.PENANAyXstT3I4cA
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.
