The story

Leo Handler visits his mother Val's house in Queens, New York, where she throws a surprise party celebrating his parole.

Needing work immediately, Leo asks if he could be allowed to join the company by working with Willie at accounts, as Willie had suggested at the party, but Frank declines.

One night, Willie brings Leo to the Sunnyside repair yards, where he and his crew sabotage Weltech's work, hoping to lower their quality rating and lessen their ability to get contracts.
