Fall of Five: Characters

In the book Fall of Five there are multiple main characters, but one of the most important characters from my perspective was Sam Goode. He has been a reoccurring character in the series starting out as being Fours first friend in Ohio. Their friendship grows over time by bonding over how Four is an actual alien and how Sam's dad helped the Garde and their Cepans arrive on Earth. Over the span of the series Sam accompany's  John and the numbers on their mission as well as being on the hunt for his missing father. In the previous book, at the end Sam gets captured by the Mogadorians (who are the second alien race who have come to Earth, and are the sole enemies of the Garde). He is then imprisoned in a Mogadorian base where Four had no way of rescuing him, forcing Four to abandon Sam and run to save his own life. So at the beginning of the book Sam is a prisoner of the Mogadorians but his only thought for all the months he was imprisoned were just about escaping and finding the Garde so he could continue on to help them fight to restore Lorian. This shows what a great and loyal friend Sam is because even though he knew befriending Four would make his life more dangerous then he could even imagine, he didn't let that fact come in the way of their friendship. So finally when Sam escapes the Mogadorian base along with his father they located the Garde and return with them to their safe house in Chicago. When all the numbers plus Sam, his father and Sarah sit down at dinner to discuss further strategies Five speaks up and says, "These two were actually in contact with the Mogs, like, weeks ago. Hanging out. And you're just going to trust them?" (pg 214, Lore) and to this piece of doubt Four answers confidently, "Yes... I trust them with my life." This statement made by Four just shows what a trusting and genuine person Sam must be if Four, whos life is on line is so willing to let someone who could be potentially dangerous get so involved with the Garde when they're so close to winning this war.
