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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMiTP1eRwA
I feel sick.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvzonkIydp
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,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZMpUoTTR
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?
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ERkL5deOD
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WLIrThnM
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxXjrkgGRP
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYYbiK193h
A garage, it is.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2quCcRgPp
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTtVKIfFA3
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxiJamnb4S
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLudiCVOIcH
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YEj1AGbMf
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,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Dr0FiQAp
I waited, there were many,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNYcTcaXW
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,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3evzl2l8nf
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFPhPZX4B
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69CgTXVTkN
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6THgNb7L2c
Closed the door "Clear."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVh7cNzM0D
"Clear."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB13Mxm427N
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSHHTxxVud
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxl6AjWHXZ
The boys left just as they came.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZwR30N0TF
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHawNAzrcmx
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xv9xA0wXq
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFyqLXCB8
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq8zGNWFjh
So cowardly of me!
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCKn2rcEcv
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0627rrS9
Callen!
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftjg0fo4eb
I left him alone too!
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b9TVhYzhy
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNwzAAM8Jr
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44VQLnaBX8
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD76seLgRO7
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZaximkiv
I laid there for what felt like hours.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA24E41yku
Weak...
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UYTev2kZi
Powerless...
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMuguwW6RD
Unwanted...
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruq8RINn90
Nuisance...
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQITz0L84b
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ87fcN3mJ
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8aMT5Odt2
Now that I analyse closely,
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1coB1plTm
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.
