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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJo5HMxkeLz
I feel sick.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAPwvNyYj9La
This car too is comprised of things for safety under attack.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAQyls14BOpQ
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,
238Please respect copyright.PENANA2I0s6bstzq
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?
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUMPiepy7Mh
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAO5Pmhlcyf4
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
238Please respect copyright.PENANAttfGX5VYu0
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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAdsFcnrQYhs
A garage, it is.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAC5TzFlmM7h
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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANARxsrhAmQ8L
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAquJyBJpyrr
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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAolM8tf7cI1
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9bzKgJ0iiz
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,
238Please respect copyright.PENANANtb0DaVgJE
I waited, there were many,
238Please respect copyright.PENANAfwA3R9GzyR
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,
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvLcmnTjGZH
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
238Please respect copyright.PENANA3TT8MOTpet
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJxQhI0slzE
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOApiV9Eyt2
Closed the door "Clear."
238Please respect copyright.PENANAxyvmOvH9EW
"Clear."
238Please respect copyright.PENANApUzt68HYJv
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXdXioiYO0g
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
238Please respect copyright.PENANA2X71wR0yyX
The boys left just as they came.
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9kDNiLFLSw
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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAw15kwOJ0Wx
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
238Please respect copyright.PENANAEHdddUcwmS
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
238Please respect copyright.PENANANhnjW3lJ8W
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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANA6B4DhDOZCR
So cowardly of me!
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1fha1HrlLW
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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANA0I6WvYVti6
Callen!
238Please respect copyright.PENANAHxx1DIAJ0k
I left him alone too!
238Please respect copyright.PENANAg3xxo9zZYT
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
238Please respect copyright.PENANA7g1QARsRLt
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
238Please respect copyright.PENANAAqTQBsbt6F
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
238Please respect copyright.PENANApNi16FQSbN
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAncjJgyMu6W
I laid there for what felt like hours.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAAnUnbzxdFP
Weak...
238Please respect copyright.PENANAd3O9c8nT6U
Powerless...
238Please respect copyright.PENANATqhcSqU3Tx
Unwanted...
238Please respect copyright.PENANAL4gJTx2eAd
Nuisance...
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlA0f6Iw5qo
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAhZCHlfKBUG
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlwvvJ1YCYY
Now that I analyse closely,
238Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wehaxb5SV
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.
