Ben was a bit hesitant to leave Lou alone in the plane wreck. But he was right. This boy needed help, and things would get by a lot quicker if he stayed to scrounge for supplies, while he brought the child back to look after him. Nodding, he gently unbuckled the boy and lifted him into his arms. "It'll be ok kid. Don't worry," he said softly to the boy to calm his nerves, as he carried him out of the plane. The boy held onto him, seeing Ben as the only person that could protect him.

Getting out of the wreck while carrying him was the easy part. He quickly strode towards their home. Juggling the boy carefully, he reached to open the door, letting it swing open as he back inside. Brandy and Sarah were instantly in the room to meet him, having seen him approaching through the window. Brandy's eyes instantly fell on the young boy in his arms.

"Ben! What happened...?" She asked.

"We found him in the wreckage. He seemed to be the only one in there. Quickly, we've got to get him to a bed. He doesn't look all that bad, but I'm not doctor." The two women nodded, allowing him to pass and quickly into their bedroom. He gently set the boy down as Sarah quickly went into the bathroom, coming back with some cotton buds and some anticeptic.

"Don't worry kid, this will only sting a little," she said, gently putting some on the bud and dabbing it against the wound on his head. The boy winced, letting out a small whimper as Brandy sat on the other side to comfort him. Her maternal instinct was surfacing already.

"What's your name?" Ben asked softly, wanting the child to be comfortable after what was no doubt a traumatic experience. The boy was quiet for a moment, still frightened before answering. "B-Brenden," he replied, still a bit wary of these strangers, but the two women doting over him at the moment were easing his nerves. "D-do you know where my parents are?"

He shook his head in response. "I'm afraid you're the only one we found. Tell me, do you know what happened?" The boy shook his head. "I-I just remember everything going black. And then, when I woke up, the plane was crashed and everyone was gone." Ben stepped back and pondered. So they weren't the only ones to black out. Still, this left them no closer to solving the mystery.

At that point, the door opened. Guess Lou was back. He voice calling from the entrance confirmed it. "I'm back guys. I found another." Another? Another survivor? Or another person who had remained here? He glanced back at the child and the two women before leaving the room. Surely enough, there was Lou, with another familiar face.

"Hello Robert. Man, you look like hell..."
