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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAY2CiVXlsHH
I feel sick.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA63MzfnhzPC
This car too is comprised of things for safety under attack.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAqvFp1DJ0Z7
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANA3nhZvzl4dc
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?
236Please respect copyright.PENANAciTM2liPcT
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAY2bysLcVRH
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAg2CScBkvyG
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAz84PRmvOkn
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAH9zoRqAjn3
A garage, it is.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAzWFeBLKA3u
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4IyxWXzVfG
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
236Please respect copyright.PENANANXShhh4Uno
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4qh3At3thu
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAOwZl6MbFwg
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAfvbrtvhwAg
I waited, there were many,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAwvQ11MOUJK
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,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAPYVTEk3izi
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
236Please respect copyright.PENANAvjbmGKaFVT
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAv4aDk1Q5Cn
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
236Please respect copyright.PENANAqcfqzJDvbK
Closed the door "Clear."
236Please respect copyright.PENANAedyz7Lxygo
"Clear."
236Please respect copyright.PENANA7l1UCgFOaB
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAEARzt1wqk
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAbzJBwCdpG7
The boys left just as they came.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ9mSjaCLY
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAewMBZi27kA
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAWp7FAmY9uU
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAE1CenYjhJs
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAECEfI2APuy
So cowardly of me!
236Please respect copyright.PENANAzZPxc85Aue
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.
236Please respect copyright.PENANApj8DWKWHYE
Callen!
236Please respect copyright.PENANA4vN0cNrSCQ
I left him alone too!
236Please respect copyright.PENANAfMkqSb6723
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAsFKPb4ZfTt
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
236Please respect copyright.PENANA3cf72TtUTw
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAZthGhpw0Ny
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAeMwsVzal07
I laid there for what felt like hours.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjGuEJhX0O0
Weak...
236Please respect copyright.PENANAAtRWLgtqOF
Powerless...
236Please respect copyright.PENANAC6ncEHe5pk
Unwanted...
236Please respect copyright.PENANACq5URmGrtS
Nuisance...
236Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKZBLxjcP
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAM5mkaV1awE
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
236Please respect copyright.PENANAejFJFfFgi1
Now that I analyse closely,
236Please respect copyright.PENANAn6FsN0lGLL
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.
