As expected, our hero and Charlie are out of work and begin looking for work together. They find some modest satisfaction in the closure of the other plant also saw Darth Vader lose his job. Even better than that, the parent company fired him and blocked all communication for him to any folks at corporate. He was anathema and our hero and Charlie loved that part of the plant closure. As the chapter closes, our hero gets a job and Charlie doesn't and that leads to his death. In the immediate time after our hero joins the new company, the General Manager gets fired for an inventory scam and is fired. The new General Manager is different. He moves his desk to the shop floor and very soon he brings in this new consultant, the infamous Dr. Elbie. Our hero is introduced and that sets up the lead in to Chapter 2. Enjoy, Len Bertain.
