In the book “Evil Star” Matt, the protagonist, fids himself in another bad situation. Someone from the Nexus, the secret group who is trying to protect Matt, is telling the Peruvian police secret information about Matt. No one in the Nexus knows who it is but, they are soon going to find out.

Without the help of the ancient Incas that are very sparse Matt would be dead. The Incas know every secret passageway in Peru. These passageways help Matt get away from the police and nearly death. Matt is very brave. If Matt wasn’t brave he wouldn’t be alive because he wouldn’t trust anyone. When matt went into the first passageway underneath Peru he was scared. The fact that if he didn’t go in he would be shot by the police forced him to trust a random person. Most people wouldn’t have gone in to a dark and secret tunnel with someone that they don’t know which is good but if you are in a life or death situation you have to trust anyone that is not the enemy.  The remainder of the Inca tribe is trying to help Matt because they know that he is a special kid. If he didn’t trust them he would be dead.

It’s not always a good idea to trust strangers. If a stranger tells you to go inside a dark tunnel it is probably not a good idea unless you have no other choice. It is highly unlikely that you will ever be in a life or death situation. Knowing who to trust is a big issue. If you trust the wrong people bad things can happen to you. If you know who to trust you will always be safe.
