Epilogue

The morning was dark, the air cold. The coffee was growing cold as always. The team had started lining up. The pullers was already in position.

"Can you believe this?" said the manager.

"No!" Jennifer said.

"Product missing, everyday!" The manager replied. "More and more."

Jennifer was a great trainer. Lived her life happy and free. She worked hard for weeks than the promotion came. It's all rough business now she was told. The strength she had, the belief she felt was unbelievably, a soul saved by grace. Working in a fulfillment center wasn't a place for a girl, but she couldn't tell. One thing she knew was do good for the team. That meant good scores, cleanliness and strength. Weakness was the most important thing out there. The important thing don't have it. The missing product was weakness and it showed. She knew in her mind she had to find it.

"Hey Jennifer, how are you doing today?" said Alexandria.

"We are all busy today!" she replied.

"Okay, I'm gonna head to my station? she said.

She never knew what to do according to the trainer's. A half a decade in the field and still no. she learned to laugh the never the joke was her. At times she felt it, but they reassured. She always wondered if it went to far. Today it looked like it was gonna be an easy one to remain the same. all she had to do was keep up with the timer and be able to stay in line. The robots had been being different everyday. She felt that at times they stuck her in the mess up spot. She was always ready for the challenge.

"Hey Jeremy, how are you?" She said while bracing her station.

"Great." he replied. "You ready for the day?"

"Never, huh" she grunted "ready for the day."

"Always!" as he finished the donut he was eating.

As, time passed through the day he felt very different. He stomach began to slow down luckily for him the place had shutdown for a few hours. They looked around non-stop even though was supposed to wait for the supervisors to appear. In there mind the day would go as normal never stopping, but why now. He saw the cute Trainer start joking calling Alexandria moose butt. He could not stop laughing in his mind he had went off to the cafeteria to eat.

"Your going slow today." Jennifer said.

"It's the robots around, now blown a fuse." she replied "Why do they work us like this?"

"Who knows!" she stated " We just know it's you!"

Jennifer had walked away to the manager. She had went searching even though it wasn't right she had decided to go above and beyond. It was almost time to start as she walked around she had commanded the team for stretches to keep them ready. She'll find him eventually, no stopping now she thought. The cafeteria was full as she passed through. There was Jeremy talking to a group or the mob. There he sat with food in his mouth.

"What you think about Jennifer? he asked.

"She seems alright, very hard working." a coworker replied.

"You ever think she over does it?" he wondered out loud.

"Her past though, the questionable ways to the top, I don't believe' em."

"Who cares now-a-days?" he laughed.

The fuse had been repaired in there minds or was it gangster work. You had to laugh at it. The team started to get better and better each day as they went on. With pride and ease they were making there way through. They couldn't wait for it to be over the end of the day to come. Jennifer and Alexandria had grow closer in everybody else's mind.
