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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA3rSbH3VVkf
I feel sick.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAfMFvGBrddO
This car too is comprised of things for safety under attack.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5VfxR4VVd
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,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAnLENCd5dXu
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?
261Please respect copyright.PENANArJDvmBZS0R
The other two were left behind in the previous vehicle. I alone occupied the whole backseat.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAOheW8BQteC
Finally I had guts to look out the window,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAGYmSB6BarE
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAczKR4XQ0rp
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMMUdwQ84O8
A garage, it is.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAw5BUWut3Nr
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANA1l0OtrPNpv
Everywhere armed men dressed in similar uniforms, expressionless faces at every corner of the hallway lined in alert.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAw5YQip88z3
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAlaCzpeg0dk
He swiped his card. The door clicked open revealing couch on the edge of the opposite wall, I stepped inside the threshold,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMTJWgmtFmN
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,
261Please respect copyright.PENANA47xl1Jq7FE
I waited, there were many,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAj9i8zylYHR
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,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAT1bNLe10HW
From inside one shouted. "Clear.",
261Please respect copyright.PENANAgv3p9mWqAF
They had dispersed into each room, and hallway,
261Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZVco1bBdT
From every corner one after other each one of them reported from their respective locations, "clear, here."
261Please respect copyright.PENANAE5o27FI26d
Closed the door "Clear."
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMmdmsUCM7e
"Clear."
261Please respect copyright.PENANAt9xRDqGQhe
From upstairs too, "clear, here."
Which meant there's another floor here.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuKpgwfCJwH
Nothing was left for surprise or shock.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAJge29Lvra4
The boys left just as they came.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAt75yqzkaum
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAy3tDWZmjGE
I entered the bedroom. It was basic, not luxurious, just for staying a night or two,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAmdbJdWl0W7
It is meant for hiding purpose, and survival. That's why the housing mirrors basic apartment.
261Please respect copyright.PENANArOLjlv4JYx
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAHK5DkpyaGs
So cowardly of me!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAY8c8cHryZd
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAFlaRlXN7GV
Callen!
261Please respect copyright.PENANA0ctAUSEjJt
I left him alone too!
261Please respect copyright.PENANAcDNkDIylkO
Though I saw him fight back fiercely. It still doesn't verify he will be back alive.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAIDWZGK4iTW
My knees collapsed and I stifled a frustrated scream.
I hadn’t noticed the goose bumps creeping on my arms until now,
261Please respect copyright.PENANAYruQDKB9qm
Water! I need water..My throat burnt of tortured thirst.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAo6pUM76U58
I felt too weak to walk up to the fridge and instead rolled and rocked myself from side to side.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAi3w2RcplV0
I laid there for what felt like hours.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAe3KOdM8iGe
Weak...
261Please respect copyright.PENANAJOUnArtvop
Powerless...
261Please respect copyright.PENANAc0LEis9rVf
Unwanted...
261Please respect copyright.PENANAjfjNF5HxpO
Nuisance...
261Please respect copyright.PENANAQeuc7tqfW7
I had decreased to a sobbing mess for I had no more energy or water left to shed.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAqy3dRQzHxK
I was suffocating. I searched the walls to find only one small window at the ceiling, just like a cell. Rest was packed stuffed.
261Please respect copyright.PENANANkFLSuYLby
Now that I analyse closely,
261Please respect copyright.PENANALDlVzdRj3Y
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.
