None of the towns people saw her as wanting to leave probably because they were all brainwashed and they must have thought so too. Lori used this to her advantage. She needed a weapon so when someone asked what her job was in Rose Heights she said." Oh I'm a hair dresser." The woman had long hair that stoped mid shoulder so Lori directed the girl to the salon where Lori grabbed an apron and a hand full of scissors and straight razors and put them in the various pockets on the apron.
Lori put on a smile and said cheerfully," so what would you like?"
The woman gave her a puzzled look and said," I thought we didn't get to choose?"
Lori not wanting to blow her cover said," I know it was just a little joke." And she gave a slight laugh. She looked around at all the other women in town and cut the woman's hair short and down to her neck just like everyone else and Lori herself. Later when it started to get dark and everyone was gone to bed, Lori was putting on a smile while she sweepednup the hair. 'I need some pants if I'm going to be out there' so she snuck upstairs and found a pair of tan slacks and she put them on underneath her dress. She slipped out of the town through a space in the gate and continued to gain distance between her and that crazy cult.
