\"\"Josh calls his friend Conan from Jail, but no-one answers. He wants to tell Conan that he\u2019s coming out tomorrow but he can\u2019t get hold of Shakai, his best friend. Josh wants to tell him about a legit business idea he\u2019s thought up in prison. Back in Hamgate Conan is in the park with Shakai – he stabs him. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Josh comes home. Freedom! He\u2019s determined not to go back to prison. He goes to his mum\u2019s flat on the Hamgate estate where she breaks the news that Shakai is dead, and that she doesn\u2019t want Josh to stay with her \u2013 she\u2019s had enough of his criminal ways.
