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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA7RJb5ePqIG
I feel sick.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAJCNTjyUrIb
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,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAiKJ5DPYd2q
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?
464Please respect copyright.PENANAGA7FsFo2t2
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
464Please respect copyright.PENANADwns0qLI4R
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAciQhK8NIRZ
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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA9XONxKdvhv
A garage, it is.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA0TIQsU5Jir
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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA67B5kXqx7O
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAgSDESCMZRr
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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANATTAH4p8JKU
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAEQNk0tDGXs
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,
464Please respect copyright.PENANADQmAnpZEV7
I waited, there were many,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAWvYR4qmRKY
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,
464Please respect copyright.PENANApCvLtgMdRr
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
464Please respect copyright.PENANAuIZp07GsXK
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAkr5bhF54nN
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
464Please respect copyright.PENANAO610608nzX
Closed the door "Clear."
464Please respect copyright.PENANAAmXA3ocldZ
"Clear."
464Please respect copyright.PENANAc19K9crOZo
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAkzhZrJ071f
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA7jvYhactYH
The boys left just as they came.
464Please respect copyright.PENANALLDNotgGp1
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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAiloyg3EIwl
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAJfYKOSZKkI
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAf5I2L7L157
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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAwi1Nn4Ks4p
So cowardly of me!
464Please respect copyright.PENANAeOYT4LMuYx
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.
464Please respect copyright.PENANANDe6uVT9Pf
Callen!
464Please respect copyright.PENANAgiE97axWYX
I left him alone too!
464Please respect copyright.PENANAgYg4nTKtOO
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA5XnLQbU0w0
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
464Please respect copyright.PENANAEETq0gOYZw
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
464Please respect copyright.PENANA1PsgLnsGjL
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAukyMThnSMl
I laid there for what felt like hours.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAEcsbFsffVC
Weak...
464Please respect copyright.PENANApIFmaOOo8i
Powerless...
464Please respect copyright.PENANAaDyBawVRID
Unwanted...
464Please respect copyright.PENANAgdcr94tmc2
Nuisance...
464Please respect copyright.PENANAA9P9ACZdiA
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAoF0mhfxmG7
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
464Please respect copyright.PENANAb7gGT6FRwb
Now that I analyse closely,
464Please respect copyright.PENANASLYADpig8h
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.
