"What?" Joe screamed. "You cannot possibly think that I can manage this."

"But you sure know something about this work," Eddie said. "I mean, you work as a cashier in the supermarket. As a cashier, you work with a computer near you."

"I know," Joe added, "but I am not going to track down the enemies just like that. What if they see me?"

"They will not," Eddie assured. "I am very sure they will not."

"Eddie," Joe said, "we talked through this, and I think…"

"What…?" Eddie asked.

Joe stopped for a moment. He took a plain water to drink, and to keep his brain functioning well. Later, he started talking again.

"Hmm…," Joe said, "come to think of it…at least I get to stay indoors."

"Agreed," Eddie said. "Totally. You only stay indoors. You spent too much time outdoors, by the way."

"Agreed," Joe said. "But so did you."

"Yes, I know I did," Eddie replied. "It is part of my job."

"Before this conversation get any complicated," Joe said, "I am going to say…fine. I agree with assisting you in your missions against crime. I will do my best, sir!"

"No," Eddie said. "Do not call me sir. I hope we can do this as a friend to friend request."

"Okay," Joe said, his face cheering up a little. "But I will still be a part of the police force. A detective."

"Of course," Eddie said. "The semi-private detective."

"You can say that," Joe said.

"So," Eddie added with a smile, "are we still friends?"

Joe looked at his friend with a stern look, but that look was just a joke he pulled. He would say, "Yes." Their friendship would still go on, even though Eddie would become The Jay, and Joe becomes the watchman who keeps track of events in the city.

A strange conclusion for the two? You might say that, but it is good to know that they finally made up their minds. As for Jamal, he was still in his house, talking to his cousin Baraq. They would enjoy a game of computer ping-pong and Warcraft before going to sleep.
