He looks in direction to see a wood plank falling from the third floor. He dives on the side and trip on a tool that lay at his feet and fall on the ground. He hears a noise, some wood that crack under the weight."Bill!"He hears the sound of something heavy that hit the ground. And then the silence. All the tools has gone quiet. It is not usual for a construction site. Steven stands up and remove some dust that have fallen on him. As he turns around to take back his hammer that have fallen at his feet, he sees that Bill is laying dead on the floor. He has fallen two floor. As usual, he didn't put his harness and it have been fatal to him. Steven stares at him. He didn't knew him much, he was new on the construction site, but Bill was a good man. He has started to knew him all Friday night, when all the men go to the bar a few streets down here. He was a father, he had two kids he was proud of them. One was a nice hokey player and the other had better grade than Bill could hope. He said prodly that he had a futur doctor in his family, someone who would get out of the misery they lived in. Steven stared at the lifeless body, hypnotized by the blood that was slowly flowing on the ground."Steven... Steven.""Hmmm... what?""You were sleeping in the course. It is finish. Is it ok? You looks strange.""No, I'm fine. Just dream of the accident that has happen last year.""The man who died in front of you? That suck! He must be clumsy to have made that fall.""No, just reckless. He was a good man. It was fun to talk about sport with him.""Talking about it, we have a practice.""Oh, yes. Let's go."Steven follow Polinsky to the gym.~~~~~The noise was filling the locker room. The coach enter it and everyone lower the tone, only whispers can be heard."It was a good practice everyone. Peterson, Harrison, Black and Polinsky, you won't play next games. Jefferson, here your chance, you've proven your worth and you will take the place of Black. Rogers, you'll replace Harrison. Harrison, you take care of your ankle. Don't do anything stupid. It should heal before we play against Chicago. I need you then. Peterson and Polinsky, I don't like that kind of attitude during the practice. If you want to fight, fight against the othe rteam. For your lack of discipline, Quinsey and Carter will take your places. Everyone, I want to see you tomorrow here. I want to do an extra practice. It will be more relax but we need to review some play if we want to win the next game. You're free to go now."Steven finish to put his clothing and see Polinsky leaving the lockerroom. He try to catch him to speak to him about that fight on the field but the coach stop him. "I want to speak to you.""Yes coach."The coach leads the runner in his office. "I've got a feedback from your Finance teacher. You know teh condition to play in the team is to pass all the courses. Your grade have always been borderline but enough for you to continue, but with such grade you won't be able to find a job easily and it will be worse if you fail your course of Finance. And you know what it means a failure. you are out of the team. You are a fine runner, but just not good enough to enter the NFL. You'll have to think of another option, and it might worth it to put a little more effort in your courses.""Yes, coach.""Think about it.""Yes coach.""You can go."Steven leaves the office and try to catch Polensky, but too late, he is gone. Steven look at the hour. Nothing interesting is happening tonight. Why not just go and fetch some food at the small snack bar on the way home and do a little roundabout in direction of Dunstand's place. Godo plan he think and just grabs his things and walk down the boulevard.</blockquote>
