con- how to ridiculously save the world

The man looked back at me, sizing me up. I gave him a steely look. Soon the man who must have been Malky drove the truck over to us. Up close, I saw that Malky was almost as big as the man who had caught me and twice as dirty. Malky shoved me into the backseat of the truck. " Drake, who is this scumbag?

" Yes , but this one we DO need, this one is dark life."
"Dark life! We've been searching for dark life and we've finally found it!"
