He went into the small bathroom and washed his face with the icy water, then looked at his face in the dirty mirror.He had no bruises to hide today, because last night's one was a short match. No matter what they say, he knew that boy was going to die. He knew it and couldn't help it. He had that strange feeling in the muscles, that sort of burning itch, and he let out a punch much more powerful than he wanted. And tonight he was supposed to go there again. They wanted him, they liked what he did. They respected him more now, he could see it in their eyes. They wanted to see him beat those poor drugsters who only longed for a dose till they barely breath. Joshua hates that. He hates them all. He'd like to leave and never go back there.But he couldn't. That's the only job he could find that let him get barely enough money to pay for granny's pills.He finishes to wash himself and puts on some kinda good clothes.David again. Well, that's better than when she called for his father and cried.Joshua goes into her room, takes her in his strong arms and carries her in the bathroom, while kindly saying "David had some problems with the snow on the streets, gran, but wouldn't you like to dress up for him if he arrives on time?"He changes her diaper, wash her lovingly, puts on her a nice housecoat and a shawl to keep her warm, then feed her with an homgenized soup and her pills.Joshua switches their little TV on for her and says "I'll be right back, granny. Don't worry about me, I'll put on the red scarf. I'll ask Mrs Jones to come and see if you need anything. I love ya."With a final kiss on her forehead, he leaves their flat.He has to ask Mrs jones on the floor below to go and check the granny sometimes, while he has to get a newspaper and look for a daily job.</blockquote>
