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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANATtmZIbZxbU
I feel sick.
268Please respect copyright.PENANABqXZPu2mek
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,
268Please respect copyright.PENANATlkDdamTVd
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?
268Please respect copyright.PENANAtFrfTbd7Po
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAo9RSfoymgO
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
268Please respect copyright.PENANALckRx6tuSQ
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANADESJnRBT2U
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAGU3OrNtJx
A garage, it is.
268Please respect copyright.PENANABb2Z0ZZjUo
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANALPitOtYBxk
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAzzxZGvJvah
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANArpArlNN6Gt
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmkI8EyIvuQ
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,
268Please respect copyright.PENANA9LbkkyOPTJ
I waited, there were many,
268Please respect copyright.PENANAk7Idhr0GDl
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,
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqveS4lBVzj
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
268Please respect copyright.PENANACWdSzLv31S
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
268Please respect copyright.PENANAENTFue07Yg
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
268Please respect copyright.PENANANWwLtAaBQ6
Closed the door "Clear."
268Please respect copyright.PENANASiDMFLSaVz
"Clear."
268Please respect copyright.PENANAc5YuJDNRWO
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAwAIzKg7w8D
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAmm1mhLZdA0
The boys left just as they came.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA4obxOvThND
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAQq24iGjPxF
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
268Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ut3QXZ7Hk
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAXiJekD1f0w
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANApxjUR9mb5E
So cowardly of me!
268Please respect copyright.PENANAI0dHm3tkSf
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.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAAbh5161hV8
Callen!
268Please respect copyright.PENANAdksdfUcxUl
I left him alone too!
268Please respect copyright.PENANAlZJjcPU3hx
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKhkLjlttfo
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
268Please respect copyright.PENANAqT1NU5nZeA
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAVJkatgcJfM
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
268Please respect copyright.PENANANtzAK8Bv4m
I laid there for what felt like hours.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAiX5DA0MWPV
Weak...
268Please respect copyright.PENANAKX6LRN1sDW
Powerless...
268Please respect copyright.PENANAWQxpsNMlzf
Unwanted...
268Please respect copyright.PENANATO9WCz2cIT
Nuisance...
268Please respect copyright.PENANAprNdDs9Esb
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
268Please respect copyright.PENANA46vF6nZg6d
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
268Please respect copyright.PENANAeOMLMTcee9
Now that I analyse closely,
268Please respect copyright.PENANAxDqfHmv19H
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.
