Risking Your Life

For the past week I've been reading the book Trust Me by Jeff Abbott.
Although I have only made it to the third chapter, it seemed very intreaguing from the first page. It starts off with some sort of deal occuring at a local park. A man who is sitting at a park bench is feeding pigions, he is some sort of millionare who is plotting a terrorist attack. He pays a man 50 million to cause complete destruction.


         In chapter two we discover the main character Luke from Austin, Texas. He is in his twenties, is an orphan and he has recently been working on some reasearch for his step father Henry. The reasearch was to try to look for the future terrorists, Henry decided to make a fake blog on how he "wanted to make people pay" and reasearch the people who commented on it, there were 6,000 commenters. For the people who agreed with he fake blog, Luke attempted to determine weather or not these were just thoughts or people willing to do violent things to the world. Henry came to pick up the reasearch, he offered Luke a job to work with him, Luke agreed. Then Luke dropped him off at the airport, on his way back he was stuck up, a man came behind him and placed a gun on his back. This man new everything about Luke, he asked Luke to get in the car and drive with him or he would kill a family that was driving by in a minivan. Luke agreed and got in the car. this was where I finished reading.

What would you do if you were someone who had information about 6,000 violent possibly terrorists, would you get in your car with that man who knew your name and everything about you?

Myself, I think it would be wiser to wait for the family in the minivan to pass by, when they are gone I would try to take the gun from him. After all, he can only get the information through me. If he had that information he could do much more damage to a numerous amount of people. Better to sacrafice your life, one life, rather than risk the lives of cities.
