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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAignaM9AmZ2
I feel sick.
374Please respect copyright.PENANATrnFVv9TDd
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,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAP9JWyGJ09t
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?
374Please respect copyright.PENANApbVOWP1KG4
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAVUnb1PHfAV
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAcVbWjau2sE
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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAz6TiwwO55Z
A garage, it is.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAuMMOLXY4YR
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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANASsiXpmyJZe
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAgN0diOdp8O
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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAijlXMTZanG
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
374Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tx2dZRvKU
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,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAWmB4uFbPj5
I waited, there were many,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAuzy58zpM3Y
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,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAvwQF2Q7Aqn
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
374Please respect copyright.PENANA9y0hQuAcBV
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
374Please respect copyright.PENANA5CdNdJHBm1
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
374Please respect copyright.PENANAnRh3B23XHZ
Closed the door "Clear."
374Please respect copyright.PENANAExpXTgZQKS
"Clear."
374Please respect copyright.PENANAby7Kv2RVTH
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
374Please respect copyright.PENANABasQPfj919
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAqrkyyJBvGc
The boys left just as they came.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAiFS9LWM89a
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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANADH8lFYr4By
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAezOMVhYh8M
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
374Please respect copyright.PENANALWGtVPd4qR
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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAYanUzhqAkG
So cowardly of me!
374Please respect copyright.PENANAI1lkrPobk5
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.
374Please respect copyright.PENANA2LWU3Dmyj2
Callen!
374Please respect copyright.PENANAStwY9eq7us
I left him alone too!
374Please respect copyright.PENANAuUUcB7jQJ7
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAKEmRXRTrlm
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
374Please respect copyright.PENANAFdbKv8tkwg
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
374Please respect copyright.PENANA2dHg3IHInH
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAbdKlFUVM4j
I laid there for what felt like hours.
374Please respect copyright.PENANA1v3vEmHtOg
Weak...
374Please respect copyright.PENANAgXEYPbabRZ
Powerless...
374Please respect copyright.PENANAcsQdPXdqKd
Unwanted...
374Please respect copyright.PENANAz4vjZhwVVL
Nuisance...
374Please respect copyright.PENANAC18LKkcuzY
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAphO4kZ3vj4
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAK7iONSLjJv
Now that I analyse closely,
374Please respect copyright.PENANABiWycyOLmt
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.
