Egypt's body was jolted awake by the sensation of the employees conveying the mattresses into their storage unit. As the employees conveyed her beneath the mattresses, they could feel the weight burdening them. It wasn't long before they had rested her on the concrete ground of the storage unit. She looked around the foreign room and realized it was secure. She climbed from beneath the mattresses and noticed that she was placed in a storage unit. Luckily, the storage unit was massive. There were many boxes and items she could conceal herself with for the time being. As she investigated the unit, she saw a flight of stairs that led to a door. She immediately darted them and opened the door. There was a second storage unit behind it. She searched the room and noticed the giant bean bag chairs that were abandoned after its sale. 'This will make a wonderful sleep.' She thought. She placed her items on the ground and sat on the bean bag chair. 'This is so comfortable.' She muttered.
It was quite warm in the storage units, so she didn't feel the need to seek for coverage. Egypt was content with her space; however, she needed to find work. She sighed to herself with hopelessness until she heard one of the employees bolt into the storage unit. Egypt hid behind the multiple boxes that laid beside the bean bag chair and prayed they wouldn't find her.
Once the employee's voice became closer, she noticed that the employee was venting. She wondered what they were adamant about, so she eavesdropped
'I swear if we had more employees here we wouldn't be so stressed.' The employee stated to their co-worker.
'Today, the store is hiring new slaves. I cannot wait to spend less time working and more time relaxing.'
The employees left simultaneously and Egypt sat in her bean bag chair again. A smile beamed on her face once she heard the news. 'The store is hiring new employees. This is my chance!' She bolted the storage unit to find a notebook and pen. She wrote her resume on a clean sheet of paper and stuffed it in her pocket. She observed her clothing and saw it wasn't professional. She searched the storage room and observed a cerulean attire hanging aimlessly on the clothing rack. The dress not only fit perfectly but it also concealed her stomach. The last thing she needed were shoes. She hunted the storage unit for shoes when she found shimmering white wedges. Once she finished dressing, she headed to the front desk of the Wal-Mart and demanded work. The employees sought for the manager and inquired the manager to begin the process of hiring. The store manager examined Egypt's clothing and body language. The store manager observed that Egypt appeared eager to work here. She had a smile and she seemed to be engaging. The store manager couldn't resist her charisma, so he allowed her to be interviewed.

Egypt sat nervously awaiting the store manager to bring the cult leader's 'student' to the abandoned appearing room. Once they arrived, they inquired her resume. Egypt slid her resume across the table and the 'student' read it. 'This is awkwardly impressive, Ms. Egypt.' Egypt showed gratitude to the student and the student giggled. 'I don't know, Egypt. I'd hire you if the choice was up to me!'
Egypt thanked the employee again and after a few minutes of conversing left. She would have felt like she struck gold if she were hired.
