In the Joe Bell story, Joe Bell could be a figure representing hope or change. He might have been someone who saw a problem in his society, like poverty or inequality, and decided to do something about it. He could be an artist, a businessman, or a simple laborer. But whatever his occupation, his actions and decisions would be what define him in the story. He could be remembered for his courage, his innovation, or his unwavering belief in something greater than himself.
In the fanfiction, it might be a new character introduced specifically for this plot. This new person could be jealous of the Hardy Boys' reputation and wants to harm them. So, they target Joe and cause his injury. Another possibility is that it's an accident caused by a person who didn't mean to harm Joe but was just being careless, like someone working on a construction site near where the Hardy Boys were investigating.
