Joan Belle

"Oh, just the usual. But I think I’ll take some of those apples too, cook you up a nice pie."

Joan Belle is an elderly woman from California who has befriended Josh. She appears in "To Catch a Thief".

Early Life
In a poor and deprived part of California, Josh is stood at a stall which is selling cheap food to the residents in the area to help in what little way he can. An elderly woman walks up to the stall and is greeted by a smiling Josh "Good morning, Joan" he says cheerfully. The woman, named Joan Belle, seems to know Josh and greets him with a smile too. "What is it you’ll be having today then?" he asks politely. "Oh, just the usual. But I think I’ll take some of those apples too, cook you up a nice pie" she smiles. Josh is flattered but tells her she doesn't need to do that, but she points out that he's down here almost every day doing charity work so it’s the least she can do in return. "Well thank you" he says humbly. After Joan finishes paying for her items she begins to walk away. However, as she leaves, she is suddenly knocked to the floor by a person fleeing past her as they've just stolen from the floor. Josh rushes to Joan’s aid and once noticing she’s fine, pursues the hooded thief. He soon catches them, and finds out it's a girl by the name of Alison Morris.
