As Jazz said in the book I Hunt Killers him and Howie had been friends for a long time, Howie is the one person who was still friends with Jazz even when everyone found out that Billy was a killer and Jazz had to live with that traumatic experience. Though Howie still was true to Jazz when everyone else thought Jazz was or could be a killer too. Howie thought otherwise and believes his friend is not an evil killer like his dad. I think that Jazz being more the leader and stronger role, compared to Howie being more of a follower and being weaker because of his hemophilia. Where he bleeds and bruises so easily. This leader follower relationship is shown when Jazz takes Howie to the morgue with him Howie goes without a problem. Howie is there to help and support his friends. With really whatever he needs. Though he re pays Howie by getting tattoos for him since Howie is unable to, that’s something only a true friend would do. Howie is important to Jazz I think from what is said in the book that Howie keeps Jazz grounded and feeling normal. This is what he needs since he second guesses himself not knowing if he really is normal. If you truly see their relationship and understand it you will see Jazz being more grounded. Being with Howie can keep him in the right mindset. When Howie got injured trying to stop the Impressionist, all Jazz was thinking was the help Howie and all Jazz wanted was him to be okay. Unlike Billy who would want to see that last breathe of life leave Howie. The friendship between Anne Beth and Percy in the Percy Jackson series is strong and turns into a relationship. But by far this friendship is one of the strongest I have seen throughout many of the books I read.
