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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAo3NOoa5pfu
I feel sick.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwPdfzs1bE1
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,
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9zxLSqNmQy
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?
275Please respect copyright.PENANAfYDa6m2rvI
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAinrJA4kBxF
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
275Please respect copyright.PENANApTHyJUcBXH
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANA76g4xlMWpk
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPDSl9zA7xT
A garage, it is.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAVG9HhAMLQJ
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAQulH068CPh
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAcu7eF496CD
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAySftIeSMGw
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
275Please respect copyright.PENANASXB5gnwQ4s
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,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAQFjiCKsRu1
I waited, there were many,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAL9Xvrx92tM
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,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAjdugLHU885
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
275Please respect copyright.PENANAcwANLAwjiv
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAm7dbFoS5g4
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
275Please respect copyright.PENANAkcoHhYnYZD
Closed the door "Clear."
275Please respect copyright.PENANAD4cskv7mJG
"Clear."
275Please respect copyright.PENANA2h0wLw8RSO
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAy7BeHTpkvs
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAyvrUtgK5BR
The boys left just as they came.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPt9f6kvt6T
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANANtbcM1DRMm
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAorwNWtAUKA
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAAkyWYF9TOP
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANANE6u9KOO2t
So cowardly of me!
275Please respect copyright.PENANAkSy7C3Qn86
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.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAX0JXr28RpO
Callen!
275Please respect copyright.PENANAUq9LNPqsEI
I left him alone too!
275Please respect copyright.PENANAqMqCWJrp4o
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAKxRSuxdZuj
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAXUtYN03KYx
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAM1SBRXU6qQ
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAzD4XJiUJdC
I laid there for what felt like hours.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAqQUaqUaV3Y
Weak...
275Please respect copyright.PENANAkPRQyJBrC5
Powerless...
275Please respect copyright.PENANAWSjBGzyKk8
Unwanted...
275Please respect copyright.PENANAHu3rpdZhkm
Nuisance...
275Please respect copyright.PENANAQi1m6MZyTF
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAG99mrvyLus
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
275Please respect copyright.PENANAnThzscx0T4
Now that I analyse closely,
275Please respect copyright.PENANAD0FZeBKzlc
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.
