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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwDVOfyLYKC
I feel sick.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7EXyL7NBuO
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,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAInTkMaQSxM
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?
241Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ca9SybHio
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAmXO0JOt4Yd
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAK1zLGUl6Lj
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANACpa8BeDfGb
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA1kmMf5jHTC
A garage, it is.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ8whLzBHl
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAeBWmLVekZ4
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAuC9N326KcJ
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAfkMf9nAfzL
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAP98AQ2mZON
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,
241Please respect copyright.PENANANlEYZyhKFp
I waited, there were many,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAO7lVu2ZK7F
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,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYP278wYHtw
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
241Please respect copyright.PENANAa70R7ogfXT
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAX6PkziAZPA
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
241Please respect copyright.PENANA4VA8ey602T
Closed the door "Clear."
241Please respect copyright.PENANAXqweH0x9Um
"Clear."
241Please respect copyright.PENANACHjESQMPDD
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAMnlS1eJf0L
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAWVXEmhLgXo
The boys left just as they came.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7BDbUf50Og
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAZoHE0QSwcV
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAoJwyeMFzqc
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAghHDUwff9Q
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAn9tZb8ZJ5S
So cowardly of me!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAdJn9wn80Dx
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAceWeVCT4wR
Callen!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAAGupHXAPoR
I left him alone too!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAlcCzXPIkdL
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
241Please respect copyright.PENANANXizQm9eao
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAL9yEG2nAA3
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzyv3oE5QE2
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAWwFzyWajCI
I laid there for what felt like hours.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA9RDmlfhla0
Weak...
241Please respect copyright.PENANA4rCcyxkfi2
Powerless...
241Please respect copyright.PENANAMqcd2z8X5t
Unwanted...
241Please respect copyright.PENANADCG3E60mnX
Nuisance...
241Please respect copyright.PENANA41nYqwePvx
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAm1UHUOS05v
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9492H1bWz
Now that I analyse closely,
241Please respect copyright.PENANAos43XrdDaG
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.
