Currently, I am reading Plague by Michael Grant. It is the fourth book in the Gone series. Currently Albert (see from previous IRJE) has been attacked by two boys from the Human crew (also in a previous IRJE). He was attacked by them because he has so much wealth and food. He also isn’t very nice which lead him to get attacked in the first place. When a boy named Howard found him almost dead he called the healer, Lana to save him thinking that Albert would be in his dept.
“About as close as you can get,” Lana said. “But no: he’s not dead. And this kind
of thing, at least, I can heal.”
“Boy’s going to owe me,” Howard said.
“You’re a trip, Howard, as my dad would say,” Lana said. “You are definitely a
trip.”
“You’ll tell Albert I brought you, right? You’ll tell him it was me, right?” (pg. 375)
This shows that even if a life is on the line most people will only think of themselves.
