Tyler did what he could to help out the others. Whether it was moving pieces of the plane, helping provide medical assistance, or just holding someone's hand as they had a shard of metal pulled out of them. Tyler wanted to be as useful as possible because he knew that this was going to be home for the foreseeable future. Tyler found a pack of peanuts on the ground along with a bottle of water.
He picked up the peanuts and the water and said, "Well considering our situation this might as well be steak at the top of the Ritz." Just then he saw a child shivering and cold. Tyler rolled his eyes and said under his breath, "I know I know do the right thing time." Tyler walked back to where he was sitting and went into the cabin for a moment. He grabbed a blanket and walked over to the child.
Tyler said, "Hey you look like you could use this" He gave the child the blanket, the peanuts, and the water.
The child replied taking the items, "Thank you."
Tyler noticed that the child couldn't have been more than 10 and was wearing a set of pilot's wings. Tyler asked, "What's your name?"
The child replied, "Jacob."
Tyler sat down and said, "Hi Jacob. I'm Tyler. You by yourself?"
Jacob shook his head and said, "No sir Mr. Tyler. My mom went to find Mr. Fluffy."
Tyler asked, "Mr. Fluffy?"
Jacob nodded and said, "My stuffed animal. He's a parrot and he keeps me company on trips like this. We we're flying to England to see my dad. My parents are divorced and I was gonna spend some time with my dad."
Tyler nodded and said, "Ahh how long has your mom been gone?"
Jacob shook his head and said, "Not a long time. She's right over there." Jacob pointed to the mid-section of the plane. Tyler could see a woman about mid 30's moving about and Tyler said, "Bet she finds him."
Jacob nodded and said, "I hope so. My Grammy gave it to me and she says it used to belong to my mom's younger sister. She died in a car accident with my Granddad, so it means a lot to us."
Tyler nodded and replied, "Sounds like it." The two sat there and listened to the waves crashing in the background for a few more minutes, and just then Tyler saw the woman bolt from the plane waving a stuffed animal. Jacob smiled and Tyler smiled as well.
Jacob said, "Yes!" The mother knelt down and gave Jacob the parrot. They embraced each other and Tyler started to make a discreet exit. Jacob said, "This is great mom. I got Mr. Fluffy and I made a new friend Tyler."
Tyler gave a slight nod and said, "Hello ma'am."
The woman stood up and saw what Tyler had given to Jacob. She said, "Hi Samantha Carlson. Thank you for the food and blanket, and for keeping Jacob company."
Tyler shook his head and said, "Not a problem." Samantha turned her attention back to her son and Tyler walked away.
Tyler saw a young lady with a make shift hammock singing, and Tyler shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now that's an idea."
Tyler went back to the luggage area and with found a sharp piece of metal. He used it to cut some luggage netting and walked over to the grove of coconut trees. He looked at the young lady after she finished singing and said, "Wow I hope the 9 o'clock is just as good as this one." He tied one end of the netting to one tree and the other end to another tree.
Tyler climbed in his new "bed" and said, "I claim this land for Spain."
