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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ho7FMsFl2
I feel sick.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQJVQwNU7I
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,

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?
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo358MAH53A
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXkGK5Vgmj
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0V5j1OTR
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47wqTMBoqI
A garage, it is.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUiL9untfJ
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREax20UUDu
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz2HRE90wZ
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcU2cgKsYp
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2JLfngt3x
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,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4FOfjqezK
I waited, there were many,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3HGul9Vf6
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,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSvhQLyXhm
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouzkbjuFtQ
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IiSdFpZBn
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE2YIpJGCZ
Closed the door "Clear."
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYPmn7bYO
"Clear."
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx7sM2cNHL
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7rnI7dAn
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj0IIulaH7
The boys left just as they came.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFuEKHVlDZ
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV333sMui17
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8So55pj2I
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMQLuenz5
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqYIxBxIw
So cowardly of me!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdb1yzUx73
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.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwIgdLJZf4
Callen!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY38332119k
I left him alone too!
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ758ipRIzL9
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDLNtjdGx3
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPdedac0zu
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UjwTLSUgS
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiTFPCAMYS
I laid there for what felt like hours.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qh5rxAtab
Weak...
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNySS53rUJ9
Powerless...
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwItpcwgOZ
Unwanted...

Nuisance...

I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJYLP9qz5a
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmsXY3cn41
Now that I analyse closely,
451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8QKu4zgP
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.
